selves repeatedly against impregnable

Der IA added to the misery of the
troops. There is great depression, but
solid tenacity among the men. There
has been great sacrifice Of officers.
The plain occupied by the retiring
Russians is covered with bursting
shrapnel. The gunners shovelled
shells into the breeches of the guns as
stokers shovel coal into furnaces.
Howitzers are used by the eastern
army. The Russian guns have super
ior range and burst shrapnel at 5000
yards. There is a scarcity of reliable
maps. Two divisional commanders
have lost their chief staff officers, one
of them being killed, and many COM

Marshal Oyama reports that the
number Of Russians found dead on
the field in front of our right army

hundreds Of new prisoners. The esti,

losses in front of cur center and left
armies are being investigated.
The number of Russian corpses
buried by us previously, amounting to
1000, refers to the quarter of our left
army alone.
"Oyama further reports that he es-
Inmates the number of Russian
corpses left On the field in front of
our center army at $500.
THE total number of Russian

Admiral Wire,

far deal almost exclusively with this
feature of the battle, it is pointed out
that there is a much wider field in
volved. A fight on the Russian left
flank has not yet developed and pos
si1ly here General Kuropatkin intends
to deliver his main blow. What force
is pushing forward in this direction
behind the screen containing the col
umn at Shantintaidze is unknown, but
the appearace tonight OF Russian
column at Tzeyanchan, thirty miles
southeast of Mukden, striking at Field
Marshal Oyama's communications with
the Yalu, and the knowledge that an
other column is already across the
Taitse river, gives evidence of the
wide nature Of the turning movement.
1t is possible that the attack on the
Yentai mines may simply be intended
to hold the main Japanese force sta
tlOnary and that the outcome Of the
Yentai fight may have little bearing
on the result of the genera. engage
ment
While it is now asserted that Gen
eral Kuropatkin enjoys a considerable
numerical superiority, the main fear
expressed is that this superiority is in
sufficient to enable him to carry out
the big operations he has undertaken.
Apprehension is caused by the To-
kio dispatch saying that Field Mar
shall Oyama reports that he is gaining
ground and has cut off Russian co.,
umn below the Taitse river. 1t is onl.'
natural, after the repeated reverses
already suffered that Russians fully
realize how much General kuropatk1l
has stalled on the assumption of the
offensive. The battle now in progress
undoubtedly will outweigh in import
ance the hard fight at Lao Yang. For
Kuropatkin victory, partial or COM
plete, is necessary.

The passenger train, consisting or
two day coaches, n Pullman car and

Kansas and southwest Missouri. The
regular passenger train No. 80 had
been cut in two at Pleasant Hill on
account of the heavy load and an en-

Montserrat for the first section OF NO.

followed by passenger train NO. 3V,
wksch the freight crew took for the
second section Of No. 80. The freight
pulled out of the sidetraci ard three
miles west met the second section
The impact telescoped the tender or
the passenger engine into the front
car, which was loaded with paSsen-
gers, and it was here that the sacrl-
fee of life took place. The passen-
ger conductor E. L. Barnes, ran all
the way to WGrrensburg and broke
he news Of the wreck. Every physl-
clan in the town responded and hun
dreds of citizens fastened to the
wreck and assisted the wounded from
beneath the timbers of the broken
cars. Twenty people were killed out
right and seven died before 8 O'Clock.
The dead were placed upon fiat cars
and brought to this city and DR.. Bills,

ST. PETERSBURG-No official
news of the result of today's battle
south of Mukden is available at this
hour. General Kuropatkin doubtless
has communicated his regular report
to Emperor Nicholas, but the dispatch
was not sent back to the general staff

AS is natural, the absence of official
