YELLED IN A DENSE FOG.
Climatic Conditions Have Put Stop to
Rloodshed.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 22.-Apart from
the skirmishes and exploits OF scout
ing parties there is almost q complete
suspension OF operations in Man
churia. The heavens have i~nterposed
TO put a stop to ~bloodshed. Rain, inl-
passable roads n exhausted armies
are factors sufficient in themselves to
explain the cessation OF hostilities, and
these conditions are aggravated by a
dense fog overspreading the whole of
the thaater OF war. Behind this wall
either side would be able to change the
disposition of whole forces In absolute
secrecy, but the ~obscurity renders abb
solutey dangerous any attempt at a
forward movement. When the curtain
of mist Is removed the fight may re-
sumo under changed conditions.
The Associated Press correspondents
at the Russian front record a success
full repulse of a night attack on Rus
sian oatposts In the early hours of Oc-

japanese and captured a gun, which,
under the cover of the fog, they We're
able to remove.
The wild flight of rumors continues
In St. Petersburg. The rout or capture
of Japanese divisions or battalions or
scores or guns alternating with alarm
list stories Of Gen. Kuropatkin's retreat
or Mukden, all are equally untrue. The
wal Office declares that there have
been no serious developments since the
capture of Lone Tree hill last Sunday,
and authorizes the Associated Press
To deny the report that a Russian bat
TALON had been annihilated in trying
TO recross the Taitse river. A promi-
nent general said:
1T is absurd TO suppose that a bat
talon was stu on the other side of the
Taitse river when the whole OF the
eastern flank had Withdrawn sixteen
miles north of the river"
AS to the stories Of General Kuropat-
kin's retreat, 1t is sufficient to recall the
energetic scouting behind the Japanese
lines to show hat the Russian COM
mande- is determined to engage the
enemy as soon as the weather permits.
The Associated Press Is informed on
good authority that the Sixteenth
army corps Will be the next to start for
the front. This corps is stationed at
Vitebek, and belongs to the military
district OF wilma, which as already an
nounced by the Associated Press. is
going out as a part of the second Man
churian army under the former chief
Of the wilma district, General Grippen-
berg. The corps will probably leave
wilma on November 8 direct for Har-
bin.

NIGHT ATTACK REPuLsEp.

enormous campfires at false ~bivouacks
and then stealthily creep up on the
Russian sentinels. who blinded by The

Russians. On Tuesday night they

When the Japanese reached the Rus

with a fierce bayonet charge, throwing
the attacking force into great disorder.
Like q rabble they tried to escape. but
the Russians gave them no mercy

a mile the work of slaughter proceeded,
and few Japanese lived to carry back
the tale. In the morning the ground

BATTLE is WORN OUT.
Armies Now Face Each Other Across
the Shakhe River.

Mukden. Oct. 22.-(via Pekin)-The
big battle has practically worn itself
out. leaving the two armies facing each
other with the Shakhe river as the di-
viding line. An exchange of artillery
fire continued all day on the 18th and
10th. The Russian center is advancing
slightly each day under a heavy fire.
On the left the Russians are in a
good position on a high hill overlooking
the Shakhe river. which they have held
since the 18th, despite almost continu-
GUS bombardment and frequent in
fantry attacks.
On the right the Russians are using
mortars In an endeavor TO dislodge the
Japanese from a hill in the last plain.
The recent rains have flooded the
rivers.

left wing contains many Russian dead,
but the shell fire OF the ~retreating Rus
SLAMS prevents the Japanese from
reaching them. A conservative esti-
mate places the Russian casualties at
not less than rs. 600. Probably many
more dead are on the field In places
not yet searched.
Attacking Parties AnnihiIated.
The japanese report their total
casualties at a little over 5000 Killed
and wounded. The principal Russian
casualties occurred in determined
ter attacks on each village captured by
the Japanese.
The Russian attacking parties in
many cases were entirely annihilated.
For the first time the Russians ave
met the Japanese on an equal footing,
not having strong defensive positions TO
depend upon, and for the first time they
have attacked the japanese in their
own trenches. The Russians every
where fought brayely. but they were
unable to drive the Japanese out or 10
held their own positions against fierce
charges. Almost In every case the
Russians retired from their positions
at the first charge and then made re-
peated attempts to recapture them.
The japanese left army, with a 'front.'
Of nearly ten miles. moved orward
about five miles, lighting Tor every men

Retreat Almost q Rout.
The final rereat OF thu Russians was
almost a rout. The Russians covered
the retreat well with artillery and car
Red away much baggage and many
wounded.
AT 1880 this morning the Russians
made a determined counter-attack at
Lamuting with two regiments OF in-
fantry and two batteries Of artillery.
They were repulsed after a half hours
hghting with heavy loss. The Japa-
nese during the past seven days fight
ing have captured thirty-four guns. q
large number OF rifles and overcoats,
and 100 prisoners.
The strength of the Russians opposed
TO the left army was three corps and
thirty companies of artillery; all bu a
very small part were newly arrived
troops. The Japanese soldiers were
practically the same that fought before
