 LONDON, Oct. 1O.--A Mukden spe- cial cablegram says the following is the text of an order of the day issued by General Kuropatkin at his head quarters:
 s'More than seven months ago the enemy treacherously fell upon us at Port Arthur before war had been de- clared. Since then, by land and sea, Russian troops have performed many heroic deeds of which the fatherland may justly be proud. The enemy, how ever, is not only not overthrown, but in his arrogance continues to dream of complete victory.
 ''The troops of the Manchurian ar my, in unvarying good spirits, hitherto have not been numerically strong enough to defeat the Japanese army. Much time is necessary for overcom- Ing all the difficulties of strengthening the active army Sd as to enable 1t to accomplish with complete success the arduous but honorable task imposed upon it. It is for this reason that in spite of repeated repulse of Japanese attacks upon our positions at Tashi- chao, Liandiansian and Liaoyang did not consider that the time had arrived to take advantage of these successes and to begin forward movement, and therefore gave the order to retreat.
 '.You left the positions you had so heroically defended covered with piles of the enemy's dead and without aI- lowing yourselves to be disturbed by the foe and in full preparedness for fresh fight. After five days battle at Liaoyang you retired on new positions which had been prepared previously. After successfully defending all ad- vanced and main positions you with drew to Mukden under most difficult conditions.
 s'In the course of seven months hun Hreds of thousands of men and tens of thousands of horses and carts and mil lions of poods of stores have been com ing uninterruptedly by rail from Euro pean Russia and Siberia to Manchuria. E 1I If the regiments which already have been sent out prove insufficient fresh troops will arrive, for the infiexible wish of the emperor that we should vanquish the foe will be infiexibly full 6lled. Heretofore the enemy in op- erating has relied on his great forces and, disposing his armies so as to sur round us, has chosen as he deemed it his time for attack, but now the mo- ment to go to meet the enemy, for which the whole army has been long, ing, has come, and the time has arrived for us to compel the Japanese to do our will for the forces of the Man churian army are strong enough to be gin forward movement Neverthe- less you must be increasingly mindful of the victory to be gained over our strong and gallant foe. In addition to numerical strength in all commands, from the lowest to the highest, the firm determination must be to prevail, to gain victory. Whatever be the sacri- flee necessary to this end, bear in mind the importance of victory to Rus sia, and above all remember how nec- essary victory is the more speedily to relieve our brothers at Port Arthur, who for seven months have heroically maintained the defense of the fortress lntrnsted to their care.
 "The nlustrious head of the Russian land, together with the whole of Rus- i sia, prays for you, blesses you for your heroic deeds. Strengthened by this prayer and the small consciousness of l khA Sxvnyn arko nF +hA fos sIy fho% h0o fallen to us, we must go forward fear lessly with firm determination to do our duty to the end without sparing l our lives. 'The will of God be with us all.' A St Petersburg dispatch, dated this morning at 2:55 a. m., says that Gen eral Kuropatkin's order of the day an- nouncing his determination to take the offensive is supplemented by the news ] that an offensive movement has al- ready been begun and that the Japa- nese line has been broken at Bentsia- putze. The Japanese occupied front of about ffty-two miles, stretching from Bentsiaputze, on the east, through Yentai and across the railway to the banks of the Hun river, on the west. | uC uu6SAdn IUECC Adu pCSA uuOY1u& south in close touch with the Japanese advance since Oct. 4. The Japanese outposts have been driven back in a series of skirmishes, and the Russians have reoccupied the station of Shalhe, fifteen miles south of Mukden, the rail- l way battalion restoring the bridge across the Shakhe river in order to ia l cilitate the advance. Meanwhile Gen. eral Mistchenko's Cossacks have l pushed southwestward as far as the Yentai mines, defeating the Japanese in series of warm skirmishes. The most important action, however, oc- cured on the Japanese right at Bent siaputEe. Here the Jan ese held z
