st. Petersburg. BY Cabe.-General
huropathin's attempt to break through
the Japenese left wing and outHank
Shakhe river, seems to have failed en-
tirely. Few details, however. are avail
able. beyond the information contained
in the official dispatches Field Mar
shall Oyama, as at the battle Of Sha-
khe river, appears to have arrested the
Russian advance with a counter Of
iensiye movement; but no great dis
position was shown to carry the war
fare into the territory held by the Rus
SLAMS.
At TIE Wa: OfTice. there is an in
clinaticn to lay the CHEF blame for
the failure OF the movement to a sud
den change cf the weather to intense
cCid, 20 degrees below zero, with
high wind. which drifted the snow and
rendered it hazardous to eopxse the
troops to camping in the open plain,
and also impeded the transportation
CT guns, supplies and the wounded. The
operation entrusted to the second army
under General GTippen6cTg, WIS the
capture Of SandcDas. which, in Rus
sian hands would serve as d pivot for
fanking movement against Field
Marshal Oya1a, but Sandepa6 proved
too hard nut TO crack, and the Jap
anese, taking advantage of the check
of the Russians, hurried UP their re-
endorsements, and assumed the Often
siye on the Hun river, as we'll as along
the railroad and the great Mandarin
road. The Russians, however, appear
to have been completely successful on
the defensive, repulsing Gil the Jap
aLese attacks.

Russian Headquarters, By Cable
The object OF General Kuropatkins la
test offensive movement was to capture
the important pest of Sandepas, on the
left bank Of the Hun river, and there
by outfiank the Japanese from the
Shakhe river and enable the Russian
army to undertake general advance.
At Sandepas the Japanese occupied a
strongly fortified position commanding
the triangular formed by the confu
ence Of the Hun and Shakhe rivers.
The japanese had erected a fort of
most permanent type with triple
eaTthWOrks and trenches extending in
southWesterly direction. Several vii
lages to the northeast were also for
tilted strongly. The positions were
held by twelve battalions of Japanese,
partly drawn from General Nogi's ar
my and partly reserves. The Russians
carried the first line Of ent-erchments,

sition On the outskirts OF Saldec2s in
the face of fierce cannonading. The
fighting was transferred westward. The
Japanese counter attacked with bri-
gade Of Infantry. endeavoring to en-
velope the Russians, but the cavalry
protecting the Russian flank drove back
the Japanese with heavy loss. 4 coun-
ter attack on the village captuTel by
the Russians at TIE outset of the fight
was also beaten OFF, but at the cost to
the Russians OF several Thousand killed
or wounded, including General Nit
