eances which have resulted in rather
heavy fighting, with many casualties.

The Russians have occupied several vii
lagos nearer the Japanese lines.
The reconnoissances were toward the
Japanese front and right flank. result
ing In the Japanese being drive back.
The Russian losses, according to q
news agency message. are said to be
slight and 1t Is not clear whether the
"many" casualties referred to by Cen
eral Kurfopatkin were inflicted or re-
ceived.
While still insisting that General Ku
ropatkin has sufficient troops at Muk
den to contest the japanese advance
the war office admits that 1t is not
likely a decisive battle will be fought
there. Everything goes to show that
the main Russian position is now at
Tie pass. flanked by hills running out
on the left and by the river on the
right.
Official reports to the war office are
that the Japanese did not make any
further move toward Mukden until Sep
tember 18th. when reconnoissances in
force disclosed that they were still
massing at Yentai and Bentziaputze.
No japanese have been discovered east
