Ihe idea that the operations contem- plate only rear guard actions seems neE2tived. Nevertheless. dispatches to the Associated Press from ATulxden today say tha. General Kuropatkin has been fortifying positions on the Hun river behind him. which might indicate that he prOrf ses only to make an active defense below AIukden. An other advance by either side would combine 8 movement by flank, but no evidence of anything of such act has developed
 The general staff acts rather mys- terlously IL simply attributes the cos Sat4On of operations to the natural ex- hausJ.on of both sides, but does nos offer rlue to what it anticipates. T. is significant, how ever, with what sa- tisfacJion the capture of Shakhe town. at the irtersectio:f of Shakhe river and the Mandarin road, was received here. The taking Of the town is considered an important strategicaI stroke, placing General KurOpatkin in complete nas- tery cf both sides Of the Shakhe river between the railroad and the Mukden- Eenrsiaputze roads and assuring his communications against the possibility Of being cut off from the south.

A review of the ten days fighting between the Japanese and Russians south of Mukden shows immense losses 10 both sides. but a decisive victory for neither. The opposing armies are still facing each other. though distance of several miles lies betwen them. Or fensive operations on the part of the Russians are reported to have been made ten miles from Mukden and at tacks are of frequent occurrence along the entire line. No really important aggressive movements, however, are announced.
 A very heavy engagement is con sidered certain to occur before many days to the southward of Mukden as al result of the concentration in that vicinity of immense bodies of opposing forces. The weather has become very much colder and great suffering among the soldiers is reported.

 st. Petersburg. Oct. 22.-With the closing Of the week the Seni-pauic produced by the heavy reverse sus- tained by General Ku-opatlzin's army last week has in a great measure dis appeared and there is much more cheerful feeling prevailing in the war office. The general disaster which Threatened to enEuIf the Manchurian army has been averted by the results of ten days Of almost continuous fight ing whicE tonight is practically a draw.
 General Kuropatkin has again dis played consunmate skill in preventing Fiel1 Marshal Oyama from reaping th. Fruits of victory.

 The resumption of the conflict on d large scale is believed to be imminent and St. Petersburg hopes that the van quished in last weeks battle will con quer in the future fighting.
 That Kuropatkin after losing close n 4O.0O0 men was able to resume the of fenslve within a fortnight constitutes feat in military history. a There was am impression that General Kuropatkin was concentrating his forces on his right and center 10 avoid being driven oH 5ae line of the railroad. which might nave embarrassed, the retirement of his leit. but now he has had ample time To withdraw and the situation shows more determination than ever 10 se- cure adaVnced positions across the Shakhc.
