WHERE THE RUSSIANS ARE,
Oynmn Reports Disposition of Troops
About Mukden.


TOKYO, Sept. 13.-A telegram re,
ceiycd here from Field Marshal Oyama
gives the disposition of the Russian
troops in the vicinity OF Ncntai and
Mukden lie says that a large force OF
Russian cavalry is posted at Pingtai-
tsze, which is about twenty-four miles
to the east of the Yentai railway sta.
ton. and that another force OF cavalry
occupies the town of Heilingchai. TO
the uorthward of Pingtaitsze Other
bodies of cavalry, with artillery, are
located at Huangshanlin, on the east
ern road out of Mukden, as well rs in
the neighborhOOd Of Yumantzsushan,
which is occupied by the Japanese.
Some detachments of Russian cavalry
are posted at Fanchi, Kushutui and
Menhukutun, along the railroad be-
tween Yentai and Mukden, and are ap-
parently keeping in touch with and
watching the Japanese.
Another report received from the
headquarters of the Manchurian ar
mics tells of the pitiable condition of
nOncombatants in Liaoyang. 1t relates
that while the Russians We're holding
the defense works close to the walls of
Liaoyang they prohibited the removal
of noncombatants from the city, and
consequently many were killed or
wounded. DR.. \, NJ. Westwater, a
well known British medical mission
airy of Liaoyang, is at present shelter
ing 200 wounded noncombatants and
feeding and nursing many more. Con
Guiding, the report says:
"The condition of these people is be-
yond description, and it is awful to see
the results Of this Russian inhumanity.
The killed and wounded were of course
hit by our fire, but the Russians were
responsible. II is great pity to ex-
tend the calamities to noncombatants."
An additional report from the army
headquarters concTning dumdum bull
let's says:
Among the Russian munitions cap
tured at Liaoyang are two kinds of
dumdum bullets which very much re-
semble those made for the Russian ri
fie of the 1901 type. They do not, how
ever, fit this rifle exactly. We made
search for rifles which could have
fired these bullets, but failed to find
them.
"The wounds received by some of our
men are comparatively large, and it
seems likely that they were made by
dumdum bullets. We have, however,
been unable to ascertain this definite
ly."
