final success are still distant l sin

tional spirit will enable us to realize
our final object"
Russians Find Weak Spot.
The position at Bentsiaputze was
strongly fortified and intended to with
stand attack. 1t is reported that Gen.
eral Kuroki was there in person. The
japanese had omitted to fortify one
hill, which was the key to the posi-
ton. The Russians, aware of this
omission. made a wide detour east
ward and seized the hill with little op-
position.
The hill once occupied exposed the
whole Japanese position to a heavy
thanking fire. The Russians also turn
ed the Japanese right and, the forth
fed positions thus becoming unten-
able, the Japanese were forced to
withdraw hurriedly from Bentsiaputze
fighting a read guard action in which
they suffered heavily. The Russian
losses throughout were small, al
though severe opposition had been ex-
pected
1t is reported that tho Japanese
leaders, Oyama, Kuroki, oku and Nod.
zu, are equally confident of their
strength, that they expect to surround
Kuropatkins army and inflict on it a
defeat that will decide the war
Three days ago the Japanese had
ten divisions confronting the Russians
north Of the Taitse river. Their left

on the railway at Sandiapu, thirty
miles southwest Of Mukden and close
to the Hun river. Their center, COM
prised of four divisions, occupied the
railway between Liao-Yang and Chan
diayudmi, twelve miles north. Two
more divisions occupied the extreme
Japanese right along the road between
Bentsiaputze and Bensihu. Their front
extended about flfty-two miles.
Destruction Of Ships Confirmed.
Toxic, Oct. 10.-It is reported here
that the Japanese recently conferred the
fire from their land positions and from
the fleet blockading Port Arthur on
the west harbor with the object of de-
stroying the Russian fleet and sue
ceeded in sinking three vessels, the
names and character of which are I'M
known. The failure of the Port Ar
thur fleet to make sortie is creating
the impression that the Russians in
tend to destroy their ships just before
the fall of the fortress in preference
to taking the risk of sorties.
kuropatkln With Army.
st. Petersburg, Oct. O.-Kuropatkin
is in the field personally directing the
forward movements Of the army,
which 1t is understood, is divided into
two strong columns moving on each
side of the railroad whence they will
draw their supplies. The TANKS are
being protected by no less than $50
squadrons Of Cossacks.
Russians Hold Railroad.
The Russians operating along the
front Of between forty and forty-fye
miles, extending from Kaou Tou Pass
