Bombardment onened BattIe.

General KNropatkin's Headquarters.
Outside Mukden, Jan. 2S.-Kuropatkin
began his long-expected attack on
Oyama's position Thursday.
The engagement was heralded by
terrific bombardment from the strong
batteries massed in the centre of the
Russian lines Gradually the fire was
taken up by the entire Russian front,
and every battery was soon engaged.
The cannonading was terrific. Its re-
.verberations were felt in Mukden,
where the windows were shaken.
Under cover of this heavy fire the
Russian troops advanced TO the at
tack. They showed great enthusiasm
and pressed the assault with remark
able vigor. The men suffered badly
from the weather, which is intensely
cold, the thermometer showing several
degrees below zero. The attack was
made in the midst of a binding snow
storm. The Japanese were quick in
their answer to the Russian advance
by counter attack.

RUSSIAN FORCES
ATTACK THE JAPS
Kuropatkin Drives Enemy
Out of Several Fortified
Towns
HEAVY FIGHTING is GOING ON

st. Petersburg, Jan. 26.-Ihe news
bf General Kuropatkin's successful re
pulse of the Japanese advance comes
most opportunely. The belief exists
here that Field Marshal Oyama sought
to take advantage of any depression
prevailing in the Russian ranks as the
result of the news from St. Petersburg
to launch an attack against General
Kuropatkin's right; but the Russian
commanderin-chief seems to have
nicely turned the tables, inficting con-
siderable loss upon the Japanese on
Thursday and taking several positions
westward along the plain of the Hun
river. Evidently General Kuropatkin is
following up his victory, the latest
dispatches to the Associated Press
from the front indicating that there
is a battle in progress extending along
the centre and becoming more and
more serious. However, it seems to be
confined to artillery. If the fighting
develops into a general engagement,
military men here believe that it must
reach out to the fianks, their opinion
being that a frontal attack by either
side under the present circumstances
is impossible.
The authorities are receiving the
news from the front with great salts
faction, being convinced that it will
serve to at least partially district at
tention from the strike situation and
internal affairs generally.
General Kuropatklns report is as
follows:
"The advance has commenced of our
right flank against the enemy. We
have occupied Khailatosa and Khei-
goutaya.
"No details have been received of
the losses at Khailatosa and Khei-
goutaya. which are seven versts SOUTH
west of Sandepas. We occupied
/ Khailatosa without firing, the Japa-
nese being bayoneted Kheigoutaya
was bravely defended, but we finally
occupied IL at 10 o'clock at night. Out

Japanese dragons, which fled south

pansan. Another detachment sent
against the enemy's flank near Hind
keching forced the Japanese to retire
and captured 200 cattle"
Supplementing the foregoing, Gen
eral Kuropatkin says;
From later reports It appears that
in capturing these positions we made
prisoners of 100 Japanese. We also
occupied the village of Weheitaitse
on the Hun river, losing 80 men.
"On January 26 our troops contin-
ued the offensive against Sandepas
The Japanese attacked our position
near the village from the south and
southeast. but were repulsed. Our
cavalry participated manoeuvering
against the left flank. and attacked
the Japanese IN the rear Our force
then attacked Sandepas, and at Z p,
