chuTian headquarters. sent yesterday afternoon,
says:
The conditions in front OF tho main strength
OF the right army show no considerable changes
The forces OF the enemy. which has been driven
from Pensihu, mainly retreated toward Kaio-
TAI Pass. The enemy's forces in front of the
right army appear to be diminishing but the
activity OF his small force continues.
There has been no considerable damage in
frcnt OF the centre army. The enemy tried sew
eral attacks on the night Of October IL but was
repulsed every time. To-day only an artillery
duel is in progress.
The enemy In front OF the left army is occa-
sionally but indirectly shelling our positions The
enemy stopped Immediately in front of our DO
sitlons at q distance Of from six hundred TO one
thousand metres, and is fortifying his positions
The enemy that opposed the left detachment of
our left army has halted at a line embracing
Meng-Iapao. San-Chia-Tsu and Hang -Chia-Tai
and is fortifying his positions
The Russian concentration in front of the
armies OF Generals Oku and Nodzu was It is
now thought. merely TO protect the Russian right
and rear in order to gain time to withdraw his
army across the Hun River. It is believed that
II Will be impossible for him either to move ag-
gressively against the Japanese. or TO hold his

dispatch:
T,uring the night the japanese attacked our

env other engagements.
Vreryfhitng was quiet at all our positions up
a ia o'clock this morning. Rain fell all night,
ana the roads have been greatly damaged.
There is no Official confirmation of the report
fbs. General Kuropatkin had resumed a genu-
sne offensive It seems that the general Jap
anese offensive has exhausted itself, and that
sbe armies have reached a deadlock. Field
Marshal Oyama evidently considers Lone Tree
Fgiu from which Kuropatkn could pivot a turn
,ng movement against his left, to be OF vital
importance as both on Sunday and Monday
nights he made desperate efforts to recapture It.
General Geisman asserts positively that up 20
yesterday KuropAtlin had not brought anything

ton. and that the number of fresh units behind
which his battered troops could reform accounts
FOR Kuropatkin's ability TO resume the offensive.
