ATTACK ON LONE TREE HILL
JAPANESE BEGIN HEAVY BON.
sARDMENT OF RUSSIAN
STRONGHOLD.

Mukden Nov. 1.-Since an early
hour there has been heavy lombard
ment of Lone Tree hill by the Japa-
nese
Large masses OF Japanese were mov-
ing eastwards during Oct. 20 and 80.
After several days OF quietness big
guns commenced booming to the south
east Sunday night, continuing until
early Monday morning. Fighting has
taken place between reconnoitering
parties, the Japanese having crossed
the Shakhe river toward the south
east
A big battle is expected this week,
which. unless successful upon the part
of the Russians. will probably be the
last under the present arrangement.
A complete reorganization OF the
army is now under way.
General Kuropatkin continues IN
supreme command. Viceroy Alexieff
left on Oct. 80 for Russia.
General Kuropatkin continues In
personal command OF the army until
the new generals arrive, when he will
direct the operations from central
point.
In the battle of Shakhe river one
Russian corps alone lost 273 officers
and 1850 men. :.

St. Petersburg, Nov According
to the latest information received al
the foreign Office here the details oi
the international commission which
are being worked out in London have
not yet been completed. 1t is regard

countries, although the latter point
has not been decided. Russia has
declined to send a representative to
the English inquiry at Hull and has
also decided not to hold Russian in
Quiry at Vigo.
The whole squadron has sailed from
there, leaving only four officers, one
from each of the four battleships
which fired in the North sea during
the night of Oct. 2122. These officers
are on their way to st. Petersburg
where they will make formal report
and subsequently proceed to The
Hague and give testimony.
The admiralty formally states that
only seven torpedo boats, not eight as
reported, were with the Russian squad
ron and adds that they have all been
accounted for. Nothing is known here
of the report that the Russian war
ships fired on and hit each other.

nades at each other. The Japanese in
fantry are now using mechanical de-
vices which enable them to throw
grenades with great accuracy and
rapidity. In the meanwhile another
body of Japanese assaulted the trench
es on the slope of Rihlung mountain.
The Japanese trenches extended to
certain portions of the slope and
stopped some distance above the ex-
treme Japanese outpost, where the
ascent of Rihlung mountain became
almost perpendicular The Russian
trenches scanned the slope To ad-
vance against them over an unbroken

Russian resistance, would have been

torn up, great holes having been torn

combined foothold and protection
against bullets. In the meanwhile the
fire of all their available artillery was
directed against the Russian trenches,
the Russians eventually retiring,
whereupon the Japanese in thirty min
utes constructed trenches sufficient to
shield themselves. The Russians ex.
ploded mines, but the Japanese claim
without result. One company of Japa-
nese engaged in this fight aroused
general complimentary comment for
its remarkable coolness, executing the
various maneuvers for the purpose of
securing shelter with automatic exact

STRONGLY FORTIFIED.
Positions Along Japanese Line sourn
of Mukden.

Mukden. Nov. 1.-The japanese
have occupied a rocky promontory
south of Sindiapu and also the hills
southeast OF Koutiathe. The positions
along their entire line are strongly
fortified with redoubts, wire entangle-
ments, bitches and pitfalls and also
mines in some places. The fortifica-
tions are arranged in double tiers.
The positions. especially on the plain,
are exceedingly well masked. On Sat
urday, through telescopes. the Rus
SLAMS observed movement OF the
Japanese eastward and, judging by the
dust, 1t must have been heavy force.
The northern slopes of the hill
shelled by General Zaroubaieff's corps

All the slopes are pierced with caves,
which are warm and comfortable for
the soldiers at night General Ogan-

day, when, according to an hitherto
intallible authority, the Japanese flung
heavy forces against the fortress in
their third attempt to secure COM
nanding position.
l'he result of Sundays fighting is
uLl nown.
The japanese have been preparing
for this assault for month. 1t is be-
lieyed that the Japanese did not ex-
pect to capture the town on this occa-
sion, but TO accomplish another impor-
adopted following the first assault,
wnen thousands of lives were sacrificed
in an attempt to swarm over the forti-
tcations by mere force of numbers
regardless of loss.
Follows Weeks Of Trench Digging.
This assault, like the previous one,
was a climactic incident of weary
weeks of trench digging, gun mounting
and small engagements. In the opin-
ion of experts the assault will cease
when the Japanese have secured such
positions as will enable them to creep
steadily closer under the noses OF the
Russian guns It Is believed that two
more general assaults will be neceS-
sary before the distance between the
belligerent lines is sufflciently short
ened to make an attempt to enter the
main forts and make the end of the
siege practicable.

The stories of Russian prisoners
vary concerning the garrison affairs,
but they agree. however, In saying
they have been often disappointed.
General Stoessel has been endeavoring
to cheer them by promising the early
advent of the Russian second Pacific
squadron and relief from General Ku-
ropatkin. The constant failure of these
hopes to materialize depressed the
soldiers.
On Oct. "a, having made every pos
sible preparation, the Japanese opened

line, incidentally continuing their daily

JAPS BECOMING ACTIVE.
Preparing to Assume Offensive South
of Mukden.

st. Petersburg, Nov. both Gen
oral Kuropatkin's and General SAX
haroffs reports seem to indicate that
Field Marshal Oyama is preparing to
assume the offensive. Japanese rein
forcements are reported coming up
from Fengwangcheng and the south
and a movement eastward is noted
which may presage a turning move
ment west OF the railroad.
While the besiegers of Port Arthur
had not made much progress up to
Oct. II, according to the two reports
of General Stoessel given out during
the day, the fact that he concludes his
telegram to the emperor with prayer
for the blessing OF their majesties has
made a deep impression at the war
office, where it is interpreted as pos
sibly indicating that the hope of the
gallant commander OF the fortress OF
holding out much longer Is almost
gone.

Trenches of Opposing Forces Crowded
With Troops.

Mukden, Nov 1.-The manifesto
tions OF the Japanese in their own cen
ter, which converges at a point where
the plain meets the hills, have attained
the greatest importance. These mani
festati0ns e being fully met by the
Russians, SO that the situation at this
point of the prospective battlefield is
now one of the greatest interest and
apprehension.
AT the present moment the trenches
on both sides are crowded with troops
and at many places the Japanese and
Russians are within hailing distance.
At the isolated hill of Mammalon,
in the plain where the Russians ten
days ago captured fourteen guns and
bayoneted 500 Japanese, the rival
forces are only 600 yards apart.
