SLAUGHTER IN The DARK.
A Night Attack by the Japanese
Resulted in a Russian Victory.

Mukden, Oct. 20.-The japanese are
fond of night attacks, which they or
ganize cleverly. They light series
Of enormous camp fires at false piv-
ouacs and then stealthily they creep
upon the Russian sentinels who, peer
ing into the darkness and blinded by
the glare, cannot gee the japanese ap-
poaching. Or they take advantage of
a rain storm and try to surprise the
Russians. On Tuesday night they
adopted both ruses, but ran into q
hornets nest. The night was inky
black, rain was falling and cold
wind was blowing.
"a fine night for the japanese"
every one said, and che Russians bud-
dlel in the trenched had strict orders
given to them that if the expected,
but uninvited guests appeared not to
fire but to meet them with the bayonet.
It was so dark that person could not
see his hand before his face except
vaguely. Through the rain, III the
direction of the false camp fires, all
eyes were strained and ears listening
intently. The wind which was as
cold as ice and cut to the bones was
suddenly freigbted with ominous
sounds, an unmistakable quash in
the mire and squirting of water under
the tramp of hurrying feet accompani-
ed by the metallic rattle Of arms. The
Russians stopped lower. The officers
passed along another caution-under
no circumstances to fire, but to meet
the Japanese with bayonets. On they
came. The Russians cor.ld already see
the silbouettes of the japanese and
watched the approach of their victims
with grim satisfaction, their anxiety
being lest some nervous soldier might
fire and thus spoil the game. The
japanese came on straining their eyes
in the darkness, evidently believing
that the Russians were not SO close.
When they we're right under their feet,
the Russians rose up as if out Of the
ground, nd. with hurrsb, wildly
fell upon them with the bayonet.
The front ranks of the Japanee broke,
turned and smashed into the second
line, hrowing the whole force into
disorder. Like a rabbie they tried to
escape, but the Russians gave them
no mercy, bayonetipg them as they
pursued. For mile the work of
slaughter proceeded and few of the
japanese lived to carry back the tale.
In the morning the ground was strewn
with corpses.
