KUROPATKIN MTSLED.
Plan to Crush Kuroh Upset-Total
Losses Estimated at 10000.

Tie Pass. Sept 1o,-The breakdown of Gen
eraI Kuropatkin's strategy, when he had with
drawn his main army to the right bank OF the
Tai-Tse River. after General Kuroki had crossed
the stream above IIao-Yang. Is explained as
follows:
The movement was we'll planned. Kuropatkin
intended to engage Kuroki push a column up
the right bank and completely isolate him from
Generals Oku and Nodzu on the other side OF
the river. Only an accident upset this plan.
General Stakelbergs corps. which was still on
the left bank. at the extreme right. failed to
stand against the superior force OF the Japanese.
When Stakelberg reported that he was re-
treating. II seemed to Kuropatkin that por-
tlon OF his srrny, which he had faced eastward
with the right resting the river and the left
unprotected. might be enyeloped by the Japan
ese pursuing Stakelberg. Ne. therefore. drew
Off and reformed his front, and the retreat from
Yentai began and continued the rest OF Sep
tembsr 3. the Russians reaching Shalkhe on
September 4.
The losses on both sides from August 26 to
September 3 are estimated at from 90 600 TO To-
600 killed wounded. Many of the killed and
wounded were left behind in the Chinese corn.
The japanese are experiencing great difficulty
IN bringing up supplies OF ammunition.

Che-Foo Sept 1O.-Japanese who left Dalny
Yesterday say that the grand assault on Port
Arthur which, 1t is rumored, was planned by
the Japanese for to-day has been postponed
until Tuesday next. September Is. and that a
still further postponement is possible, as the
Japanese intend TO make every possible prepa-
ration before again hurting themselves upon

vicinity of Rihlung-Shan were captured The
Russians signalled the garrisons OF these forts
to retire, whereupon the Japanese occupied

The Chinaman also confirms the report Of
three hours attack upon Fort Itse-Shan on the
morning of September 2 When he left Port
Arthur the Russians preparing vigorously
to resist the next assault for which their spies
said the Japanese are making elaborate prepa-
rations.
The "NovikraI." of Pert Arthur In IT'S issue

a hospital at Louisa Bay, and apparently con-

was sunk while laying, mines off Port Arthur
