Russians Capture Guns.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1S--General
Sakharoff telegraphs that the Rus
slams on Sunday recaptured Lonely
Tree hill south of Shakhe, and cap
tured eleven Japanese guns and one
quick firer.
Lonely Tree hill is situated near
Shakhe. about three miles east of the
railroad. The Shakhe river runs
around its base. The Japanese seized
the hill during the night of October
18th, overpowering the two Russian
regiments which previously were in
possession of it.
russian reinforcements were hur-
ried up and early the following morn
ing opened sustained artillery fire.
Subsequently the Russian infantry
stormed the hill and fierce fighting at
close quarters followed. Numbers CT
Japanese were bayoneted in the
trenches and ultimately the defenders
were driven out after several hours OF
lighting. The losses were heavy.

1:30 p. m. says:

STILL CRITICAL
RUSSIANS NOT WITHOUT HOPE

kuropatkin Firmly Holds Right Wing
Russian Center Slightly Ad-
vaneed-Tryins to Cover Rereat of
Left Wing.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 18.-3:15 a. m.
The news from the front tonight is
more reassuring, from the Russian
standpoint The situation is still re-
garded as being critical, but General
Kuropatkin is apparently holding the
Japanese firmly on HIS center and
right wing, even having recrossed the
Shakhe river. and while there are
rumors of extensive Japanese thanking
movements, both on the east and on
the west, there is no evidence that
they are actually occurring.
General Kuropatkin's left has been
heard from The Associated Press has
the first connected report Of the four
days fight in front Of Tumen and Salt
chou passes, resulting in the final with
drawal of the strong Russian column
which had been sent in turn the Japa-
nese right, though General Mistchenko
seems to have actually penetrated a
considerable distance inside the Japa-
nese line. The report of the operations
of the Russian left wing is still thres
days old, and since that time no news
has been received from this column
The situation at this date may be de-
scribed as follows:
General Kuropatkin has slightly ad-
vanced his center, reoccupying Shakhe
south of the Shakhe river. Directly be-
hind him at a distance Of nine miles lies
the Hun river, and across the bridges
spanning this stream the Russians
must retire in case they retreat ON
Mukden. General Kuropatkin must
continue to firmly hold his CEN
: ter and right flank in order to prevent
the japanese getting possession of the
Hun river bridges. Thus he will cover
the withdrawal of his apparently beaten
east wing
There is still considerable uncer-
tainty as to the disposition of this left
column. Certainly it has not returned
to Mukden; whether it is again advanc-
ing after its, withdrawal is not known.
1t is no longer question of Rus
sian Sedan. although all hope of re-
lieving Port Arthur must apparently be
abandoned.
Little hope is expressed that Kuro-
patkin will be able to advance.
The four-days' fight of the eastern
column was of the same desperate char
acter that marked the operations of
the center and right wing. A heavy
Russian column under such leaders as
Ivanhoff. Rennenkamp, Garngross and
Kondratovich repeatedly assaulted
strongly intrenched Japanese positions
on heights commanding the passes. The
assaults were largely night work. The
cannonade was SO furious that it was
impossible to advance in the light of
day.
Finally, on October 18th, when the
passes had been actually occupied, came
the order to withdraw, probably owing
to critical position at other parts of
the front. Here the story of the opera
tons of the eastern wing of the west
ern army ends.
Vice Admiral Rojestvsky has been
appointed adjutant to the Emperor.
General Grippenberg, who has ar
rived at st. Petersburg, will go to the
front ten days hence to assume COM
mand of the second Manchurian army

Regardless Of politics, the mine own

that their properties will not receive

Whatever lessons the development or

WORK GOING ON UNINTERRUPTEDLY
LARGE FORCE OF EXPERIENCED
MINERS IMPORTED TO Alb
IN GRUEsoME TASK.

Pittsburg, JAZZ 29.-The number Of
bodies rescued from the Allegheny
Coal company's mines at noon totaled
ninety-ive. About thirty more are at
the bottom of the shaft ready to be
brought up and probably fifty are
still in the mine.
All night long the work of cleaning
up the mine itself was carried on.
Not for an instant did the inspectors
and the experts cease in the slow but
steady task Of exploration. The left
heading of the south main level has
been thoroughly inspected. The bod
les there have all been recovered and
the work in the right head is now be-
ing pushed forward rapidly. A squad
of men were put to work during the
day digging graves for the victims in
the plot OF ground adjoining the Lu-
theran cemetery half way between
here and Springdale. 1t is in this plot
that these miners who have no friends
able to bear the expense of burial
will be inferred.
A body of 125 experienced miners
arrived during the day from Monon-
gahela City to assist in recovering
the bodies still in the mine. They at
once relieved the men who have been
working since Monday and are now
down in the mine.
