that of Liao Yang. and If the Russians should be able to crush the fanlking force, victory may be regarded as one.
 The losses in the ten days of battle on both sides are already far greater than were those in the battle of Liao Yang, and are likely to increase as the days pass before the issue Is fully de- cided
 Succession of Attacks.
 Beginning at o'clock a.. m., the Jap anese mace a succession of desperate attacks on General Tserpitslxy's division on the west front, south of Mukden, re- beating the assault at intervals of two hours. with constant endorsements.
 About 5000 Japanese with 200 pieces of artillery participated. All the attacks were repulsed, there being enormous losses on both sides. One extremely im- portant position changed hands several ttimes. Finally General Tserpitsly on horseback placing himself at the head of his troops, led his regiments to the attack with colors flying and music play ing.
 The attack was successful After it was over the victorious soldiers crowded around the general shouting hls praises and even kissing his hands and feet. The Russians captured several quicl-fire guns and many Japanese were made prisoners, including officers.
 It was reported that Major General Gorngross of the East Siberian Rifles toward evening has taken and held the Tetchikou. Here and to the northward the Russians many times attacked by columns and battalons, storming posi- tions with the bayonet and without firing shot. Foreign correspondents and mil itary attachees found language made quate to express their admiration at the herosm of the Russian troops.
 Prisoners Arrive From Front.
 All last night and today Japanese pris- oners have been arriving at Mukden from the west front. The majority of them are wounded and all of them appear downcast and ravenously hungry many crying Monday night the Japanese att tackled Yenheitung, Olanpu and Ertha- lailsu and also made four furious attacks on the viallage of Iuhuantun early this morning. On the fourth attack the Japa- nese were temporarily successful In driv- ing out the Russians and rushed directly toward the field kitchens, where the morning meal was being prepared and commenced to bolt the fool. The Rus sian troops, however, with shout of
 save our dinners brothers" fell upon the Japanese like hurricane, and drove out of the village at the point of the bayonet
 captured Japanese said they had nothing to eat since Sunday, and that they had been told this morning either to capture the Russians dinner or starve.
 At Erdgou, on the center. a regiment of Chasseurs made night attack, but the Russians were caught by the Japanese flank and many of them were killed, fifty of them being captured.
 Storm Wire Entangements.
 At Bensiaputse they stormed the wire entanglements but were repused with great loss An attack on the east front early this morning resulted in the capture of several Japanese positions near Oubene- pusa and the seizure of two Japanese quick-firing guns. The Japanese made a counter attack and long and desperate struggle ensued, the Russians capturing third quick fire gun, and holding the position.
 The cannonading in the neignborhood of Tetechikou is now increasing in in- tensity. The Japanese apparently have brought up endorsements and are at- tempting to crush General Gorngross. The Japanese are bringing up supplies by the Sinmintin road and apparently are using the railroad as line of com munication.
