I,I.sI.Y DEAD ON THE FIELD
RUSSIAN LOSSES IN FRONT OF
JAP LEFT ARMY ESTIMATED
AT $4,000.

With General Okus Left Army at
the Front, Oct. 16, via Tientsin, Oct.
21.-The seven days battle north of
Yentai was the heaviest blow struck
the Russians by the Japanese, SO far
as loss of life is concerned. The left
Japanese army during the week buried
4,1O0 Russian dead left in front it's
lines. A village in front of the left
wing contains many Russian dead, but
the shell fire of the retreating Rus
slams prevents the Japanese from
reaching them. Conservative esti-
mates place the Russian casualties at
not less than $4,000. Probably many
more dead are on the field in places
not yet searched. The Japanese report
their total casualties at a little over
5000 killed and wounded. The prin-
cipal Russian casualties occurred in
determined counter attacks on each
village captured by the, Japanese. The
Russian attacking parties were in
many cases entirely annihilated. For
the first time the Russians have met
the Japanese on an equal footing, not
having strong defensive positions to
depend upon, and for the first time
they attacked the Japanese in their
own trenches. The
Russians Fought Bravely
but they were unable to drive the Jap
anese out or to hold their own posi-
tions against fierce charges. Almost
in every case the Russians retired
from their positions at the first charge,
then they made repeated attempts to
recapture them.
The Japanese left army, with a front
of nearly ten miles, moved farward
about five miles, fighting over every
inch Of the ground. The final retreat
OF the Russians was almost a rout
The Japanese extreme left advanced,
driving the remnant Of Russians
ahead. The Russians covered their
retreat well with artillery and carried
away much baggage and many wound
ed. At 1880 this morning the Russians
made a determined counter attack at
I.amuting with two regiments of in
fantry and two batteries of artillery.
They were repulsed after half hours
fighting with heavy loss. The Japa-
nese left army during the past seven
days fighting has captured thirty-four
guns, a large number of rifles and
overcoats and 100 prisoners. The
strength of the Russians opposed to
the left army were three corps and
thirty companies of artillery. All but
a very small part were newly arrived
troops.
The Japanese soldiers were prac-
tically the same that fought before
Liaoyang. Chinese report that heavy
works are ready for the Russians along
the Hun river. The Japanese are un-
decided where the next stand will be
made.

America Will Make No Move.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 21.-The Rus
sian authorities have been unofGcially
assured that the report that the Unit
ed States contemplated rendering it's
good offices in the interest of the
restoration Of peace in the Far East is

with satisfaction, although the report

Jap Forces.

Jap Forces.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 21.-The Bourse
Gazettes correspondent at Mukden
sticks to the story that the Japanese
are slowly retiring. On the other
hand several other correspondents tele-
graph that operations have been sus-
pended owing to the rain. They say
the armies are confronting each other
across the Shakhe river and add that
nothing important is expected for sew
eral days.
The Russkoe Slovo's correspondent
says a rear guard engagement has oc-
Cured east, but he gives no details.
Possibly the correspondent refers to
the report from Toxic of the Taitse
