SHANPINTAIDZE (a mile south of >— | scouting detachments Bentsiaputze), Monday, Oct. 10.—With the Russian left flanking column (be- tchenko's) by | a mile south of Kacutou Pass on the Funshun-Bensihu road, they began | hearing sporadic artillery fire on the i:'; in contact with the Japanese. The movement of the main column was im- mediately accelerated. The Russians were then two days’ march from Shin- | pintaidze. | Desultory skirmishing was constant- | ly proceeding on the right and left and the Japanese steadily retired. R The firing ahead became heavier yes- terday and wounded men from the| pegan to pass| through the Russian lines., The Rus- sians pressed forward with increased | speed, the infantry advancing at the| double. The spirits of the men were| high, due to the fact that they were| actually assuming the offensive. They | arrived at the village of Shanpintaidze | at 5,0'clock this morning. The Japan- ese had hurriedly abandoned the place | the night before, paying the Chinese | big prices to carry away their stores, amounting to 4000 bags of rice and| barley. There were two divisions of Jspanese[ in front of the Russians. The general | commanding this (Russian) column, | upon reaching Shanpintaidze, deployed | a portion of his forces, with a battery | of artillery, sent out left-flank supports | and went personally to his right flank, | in which he lost “ right, where the Russian advance was St. Petersburg Anxiously Awaits where his skirmishers had already en- gaged the Japanese.

Upon reaching Taidiamowze, | Russian scouting detachments. The Japanese projectiles, however, fell wide and the Russian guns came up at a gallop, unlimbered and opened fire on the Japanese artillery. This duel was continued until dark. The' Rus- sian fire was accurate and eventually silenced the Japanese battery. The Russians lost ten men wounded and had one man killed. This morning the batteries opened fire at 10 o’clock, the Japanese replying. To the right the fight was proceeding simultaneously, apparently in favor of the Russians. The latter were using about ten miles of telegraph and tele- phone lines abandoned by the Japan- ese. There are rumors here that the Rus- sians have occupied Yentai. Fighting Along Entire Front. TOKIO, Oct. 12, 6 p.- m.—Fleld Mar- shal Oyama reports that there was fighting along the entire front October 10; that the Japanese are gaining ground and that the Russian attack on | Sien Chuang (Sian Chan) on the Hun River. thirty-five miles southwest of Mukden, was repulsed.

The effect of de- feat upon the gallant garrison of Port | Arthur, after hopes of relief had been held out, would be most disastrous. For | all these reasons General Kuropatkin's | friende are convinced that the offen- | sive was taken with open eyes and |'Manchuria, in the eyes of the Chinese, | with a full appreciation of its difficul- ties and a firm belief that victory would be achieved. On the other hand some of his enemies are unkind enough to intimate that General Kuropatkin has rashly risked his army, knowing that victory now will insure his selec- tion as commander-in-chief of both Manchurian armies. 10 ASK RUSSIA 10 EXPLAIN GTON, Oct. 12.—The State expects to dispatch to-| he papers relating to the seiz- ! f the mails on the Calchas to the | y at St. Petersburg. | assador McCormick is now en to the United States the matter dez with at the embassy Eddy, the secretary, who muj submit the papers to the Rus- Foreign Office, with a request for | lanation as to why the Russian vessels have interfered with the ns of the universal postal union | hassy alt by re is little in the way of prece- it to guide the negotiators on either de in this matter, which probably will the end come before The Hague bunal when it is reconvened.

It was well acted and caused con- siderable laughter, but on the Wwhole had & rather doubtful reception. —_——— TO CARRY MAILS BETWEEN SEATTLE AND VANCOUVER Contract Awarded by the Government | to the Pacific Coast Steam- f ship Company. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The con- iract has been awarded to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company for carry- ing the malis between Seattle and Van- couver, B.

MAKES A FORT OF HIS HOME LONDON, Oect, 1 At Fellsport, near Cork, an attempt to-day to evict a ten- ant, Edwin Murphy, for unpaid rent of | six years, led to serious fighting. Fifty | policemen, arriving early in the morn-! ing, found the place barricaded. . crowd assembled and assisted Murphy, | assailing the police with red-hot irons, ; boiling water and stones, comeplling | them to desist. The conflict continued all day. With the arrival of reinforcements the police charged the mob with fixed | bayonets, and many on both sides were injured. Late in the evening, through the mediation of the parish priest, Mur- phy was induced to surrender. Alto- gether thirty arrests were made. NEW RAILWATS | FOR ECUADOR GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Oct. 12— Congress has been convoked in extra session to discuss the budget. During | the recent sessions Congress authorized the executive to contract for the con- struction of three railroads, the first | from Guayaquil to Santa Helena; the second from Pitajaya, in the Gulf of Guayaquil to Zuarum, in the gold min- ing region, and the third from Ambalo, to the Amazon region now in dispute with Peru. It was also decided to reform the law referring to civil marriages by de- termining upon causes for divorce. A law was adopted restricting the prerog- atives of religious orders. The bound- ary treaty between Brazil and Ecuador, recently signed at Rio Janeiro, was ap- proved. e STORM SWEEPS THREE CANAL BOATS THROUGH HELL GATE Each Has a Family on Board and Elements Prevent Any Attempt at Rescue. NEW YORK, Oct. 12—While the heavy storm which broke during the night was at its height three coal laden canal boats, each with a family on board, tore loose from their moorings in East River and swept down through Hell Gate past Blackwell's Island and into the wider stretch of river, where all trace of them was lost. Their pro- 8ress to this point was traced by cries for help from those on board the little craft, but the swift current in the river soon carried them far out toward the storm swept bay. The police, after vainly trying to secure some tugboat or other craft to go to the rescue of the imperiled boats, notified the vari- ous ferry lines and fireboats and rall- AVAL MATTERS ARE DISCESSED WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—An infor- mal conference was held at the White House to-day at which the President, Sir William E. White, R. N. (retired) and formerly chief constructor of the British navy; Secretary Morton, Ad- miral Dewey, Rear Admiral Converse and Rear Admirals Capps, Evans and Rodgers discussed naval architecture, with special reference to the American navy. The conference was called by the President, to whom Secretary Mor- ton had presented Sir William earlier in the day, and lasted from 2:30 until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The President and Sir William, who is a world-famous naval architect, had a brief talk this morning about ships, and the President then decided to in- vite a number of officials of the Navy Department to meet Sir William later in the day, when the discussion could be continued. Sir Willlam was surprised at the technical knowledge displayed by the President regarding naval matters. The President asked many questions about our own navy, and the early part of the discussion concerned the effect of the Far Eastern war upon naval ar- chitecture: Sir Willlam was free to say with fighting on the sea there had been demonstrated beyond the .shadow of a doubt the overwhelming superiority of | the modern formidable battleships. Sir William, in reply to questions of the President, gave his views of the American navy, comparing our new ships with those of France, Germany and Great Britain. He expressed the opinion that the battleships now build- ing in this country stood at the front of the best types of modern battleships. ——— DESTITUTION FOLLOWS IN WAKE OF THE FLOOD Hundreds in New Mexico in Need of Immediate Aid to Prevent Star- vation. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Oct. 12.— Seventy -dwelllngs in San Marcial, eighty miles south of Albuquerque, have been wrecked by the floods of the past week and there is great suffering and destitution there. The plight of the people in the surrounding valley is terrible and hundreds must starve un- less immediate help is furnished from the outside. Not only the crops and stores, but their lands have been ruined. 5 The Santa Fe announced to-night that it will require two weeks to re- store train querque and El Paso. The road is still tied up north of Watrous, but the line between Las Vegas and Albuquerque was opened to-day. Trains are com- pelled to run slowly on account of the poor condition of the roadbed. —_———— Has Litde to Pay Big Debts. service . between Albu- | AWAITING CRUISER ON | DEFEAT OF | HHIS CASP 9B SLAYS Holds Up the Russian Ship Glenard Off the Golden Gate. After Examination Warship Allows Merchantman to Proceed. :Slay Sailing Vessel Reaches Tacoma and Reports the Thrilling Encounter. — Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Oct. 12.—Captain Enlund of the Russian ship Glenard, which reached port last night, s congratulat- ing himself on his lucky escape from a Jupanese warship. The Glenard left | San Francisco September 26 and soon after passing the Golden Gate the Jap- anese vessel was signted. An effort was made by the Russians to keep away from the warship, but owing to the swiftness of the latter this was found impossible. The Japanese cruiser succeeded in getting alongside the Glenard. A care- ful inspection of the poat was made, but there was no effort to molest. her. Finding the ship in ballast the Japan- ese saluted the Russian and steamed away down the coast. Captain Enlund said to-day: “When I saw the Japanese vessel heading to- ward the Glenard I would not have given a dollar for my ship. We ex- pected to be taken on board the man- of-war and carried to Japan and to see our ship destroyed.” What reason the Japanese had in not confiscating the Glenard Captain En- lund is-unable to state. According to international law the Japanese would have been justified in doing so. Cap- tain Enlund thinks that such a course might have interfered with the plans the Japanese had come mere to execute and so it was deeméd best to allow the harmless ship to proceed. — CAPTURES BLOCKADE RUNNER. Japanese Fleet Overhauls the Steamer Fuping Port Arthur. TOKIO. Oct. 12.—The British steamer Fuping, belonging to the Chinese En- gineering and Mining Company, car- rying munitions of war, was captured by the Japanese off Part Arthur to- day. : Admiral Hosoya, commanding the third squadron of the Japanese fleet, reports that at 11 a. m. to-day a wire- less telegram was recerved from the guard ship Otowa reporting that the Fuping was captured by the torpedo- boat destroyer Shirataka. The Fu- ping, which was carrying a great quantity of munitions of war, the tel- egram from Otowa said, was attempt- ing to viclate the blockade of Port Ar- thur. SHANGHAI, Oct. 12.—The British steamer, Fuping, which was capturcd by the Japanese off Fort Arthur to- day, was purchased with seven other vessels by Russian agents here for the purpose of running the blockade with contraband of war for the fortress. Two of these vessels, the Sishan and the Fuping, have now been captured. Another steamship, the Canton, left here last week on this mission and has not since been heard of. It was reported from Shanghai Oc- tober 7 that the British steamer Sishan had been seized by the Japanese off Yinkow. She carried a cargo of cat- tle and flour intended for Port Arthur. The Canton is an iron screw steamer of 1737 tons. She is registered as own- ed by the Indo-China Steam Naviga- tion Company. R UPSET KUROPATKIN’S PLANS. Nodzu Forced Russians to Retire at the Battle of Linoyang. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 12.—~The story cabled from Shanghai to the London Telegraph by Bennett Bur- leigh, that Oyama will be recalled and that General Nodzu will be made com- mander in chief of the Japanese forces, attracts lively interest in military cir- cles here. It is now known that Gen- eral Nodzu's action in the battle of Liaoyang in pressing a portion of his army across the Taitse River to co- operate with General Kuroki, thus in- creasing the strength of the Japanese flanking force and threatening Kuro- patkin's communications, made it im- possible for the Russian commander to risk continuing his original plan of striking the Japanese right, which forced the Russian retirement. According to a Russian general who has just returned here from Liaoyang, the Japanese had 140,000 men, six double divisions and four brigades, across the river when Kuropatkin or- dered a retreaf prrece - H Fire Destroys Clothing for Troops. STRETENSK, Russia, Oct. 12.—The Russian Dragoons Capture a Message From Emperor of Japan. Mikado Writes That He Is Expecting Good News From Front. Daily Engagements Taking Place Along the Line of the Railroad. HEADQUARTERS OF THE RUS- SIAN WESTERN ARMY, MUKDEN, Oct. 11, VIA PEKING, Qct 12.—Rus- sian dragoons have captured a copy of a message from the Emperor of Japan to his troops in which the Mi- kado says he is still awaiting the de- cisive defeat of the Russians. It is ap- parent from this intelligence that the Japanese are equally prepared for im- portant events. There have been daily engagements between the advance guards along the entire line of thirty miles. The Japanese appear to be apprehen- sive of a cutting-off movement owing to the fact that Russian cavalry are south of the Taitse River and also owing to the presence of Russian forces yesterday in the old positions and fortifications at Hensihu. They have, therefore, fallen Back. The strong position at the Yentai coal mines, which has been the cause of apprehension to the Russians, was vacated by the Japanese October 9, though they are throwing up earth- works toward the west, where the su- pwr?ruy of the Russian cavalry will reqiire superior defenses. It is believed that the Japanese have about one hundred guns at the rail- way bridge across the Taitse River, rendering hazardous a Russian attack there. The preliminary line of battle, after the two armies have reinforced and refortified for a . month past, as deter~ mined by the Japanese stronghold of the railway bridge and the Liaoyang defenses, to-day runs southeast to northwest from the hills opposite Ben- sthu to Yentai and thence to Tousan- pu, ten miles west of the railway, where for three days the battle line has been wavering. The correspondent of the Associated Press witnessed the Russians take and retake Tousanpu and saw the Japan- ese burping their bridge over ‘the Shake. River on their last retirement October 9. The Japanese were rein- forced and renewed the attack October 16 witly two battalions and two guns, forcing the line back on the Russian right, without, however, achieving any important result. x The Japanese cannconading yesterday was for the purpose of disclosing the Russian position, but it was apparent- ly without result, except as showing that the Japanese are disposed freely to make battle within ten miles of the railway. The heaviness and regularity of the cannonading since 5 o'clock this morn- ing in the foothills and also west of the raflway indicate that greater fighting is in progress. . The condition of four Japanese wounded from along the railway, who were sent by the Red Cross to Muk- den, and of other prisoners taken shows that part of the Japanese troops are inadequately clothed for the pres- ent cold weather. 3 Along the battle line some of the Chinese have built bombproofs, from the protection of which they are gath- ering crops between the cannonadings. Other Chinese are moving their ef- fects here and there amidst the ruth- less waste of their grain and other property by the contending armies. Rgac ity RUSSIA TO USE CAVALRY. -~ To Be Employed for First Time in Present War. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 12.—Regular Russian cavalry is about to be used for the first time in tme present Far Eastepn campaign during Kuropatkin's efforts to overwhelm Oyama’s forces. Hitherto the only mounted Russian troops employed have been Cossacks. They are best suited' for scouting, guerrilla fighting and courier service. Kuropatkin has thrown them against the enemy repeatedly since the battle of the Yalu, but has carefully pre- served the regular cavalry, the hus- sars, dragoons and uhlans, for the for- ward movement. These men are reputed to be the best mounted, most skiliful and most dar- ing horsemen in the world. Whole reg- iments ride horses of a single color, so that units are readily distinguishable when masses are moving. The Rus- sian commander In chief has 25,000 of this cavalry at the front for immediate active service. He recently received 800 field guns.~ The general staff says that he has in the field a force of 300,- 000 men. _— JAPANESE ARE SATISFIED. Believe That Capture of Port Arthur Is Certain to Be CHEFU, Oct. 12.—Japanese who ar- rived here to-day from Port Dalny re- port that additional heavy guns are shells into the harbor of shell recently MN FROM FUSHUN Field Marshal Oyama Announces Intention of Assuming Offensive ends Réinforcements to the Garrison at Bensihu When He Lears of Russian Advance. TOKIO, Oct. 12, 4 p. m.—General ac- tivity has been resumed in the theater of war. It-is believed here that a gen- eral engagement Is progressing be- tween Liaoyang and Mukden. Field Marshal Oyama has met Gen- eral Kuropatkin's advance with a gen- eral advance of the main strength of his forces along the broad front. The opposing forces were in touch yesterday and it is believed that a great battle south of the Hun River is inevitable. Besides their direct movement the Russians are attempting to strike the Japanese right at two points widely ; separated. A considerable force of Russians which was sent across the Taitde River thirty-five miles east of Liaoyang has apparently been isolated by the Japan- | ese cutting its rear and the report of | its defeat or capture is expected. The following report from the head- quarters of General Kuroki's right army was received to-day: —~ “On the morning of October 9 a body | of the enemy crossed the Taitse River from the north at Weiningying toward CLiaotao and entrenched between Chi- | aotao and Bensihu. Its strength was one brigade of infantry and 2000 cav- alry, with two guns. East of Bensihu, on the right bank of the Taitse, the enemy’s strength was increased to one brigade of infantry and 1500 cavalry, with eight guns. The enemy in the| direction of Ta Pass consists of a mix- | ed brigade. There is one regiment of | infantry at Menchuapo and another at Pachiatsu, buth of which are advanc- ing south. Their rear seems to be sup- ported by forces of some strength.” ADVANCING ALONG RAILROAD. General Nodzu's center army tele- graphs as follows: “On the morning of October § the enemy, one division strong, held a line stretching from Chenhuaghatien to Panchiapo and Luitunkow. On the aft- ernoon of October 9 a column of the enemy advanced southward from Luit- unkow along the railroad. His advance | hag reached to the south of Wulichiah. | Also from Luitunkow there has ad- | vanced a body of Russian infantry, | consisting of three battalions, which seem to be strongly supported. “The line of the enemy advancing along the railroad is five miles long | and its rear is not visible. “A body of the enemy is posted in the hills east of Panchiapao. “At 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the | 9th two regiments of Russians entered | Upper Luihotsu and a regiment of Rus- sian cavalry entered Lower Luihotsu. They advanced to Shaotakou. The enemy's whole strength, one division, s advancing toward our front.” The headquarters of General - Oku's | left army, telegraphing on October 9, | says: | “The enemy does not show much ac- | tivity. His main strength appears to | be posted near Luitunkow and Sun- chiataf.” OYAMA REPORTS FIGHTING. Field Marshal Oyama, telegraphing on October 9, says: “Our right has dispatched a detach- ment to reinforce the garrison at Chi- aotao. “Since October 7 we have been at- | tacked at Sienchuang. To meet the | forces of the enemy that have ap- | peared at Bensihu, the garrison there has been reinforced. “A battle is progressing, but no par- ticulars regarding it have been re-| ceived. The center and left are still | fighting. U “It is my purpose to assume the of- fensive on the 10th before the enemy succeeds in concentrating his force on the left bank of the Hun River and to | thus attack the ememy’s main| strength.” 1 Reporting on October 10, General | Kuroki says: “Communication has been establish- | ed with our detachment at Bensihu. | Our detachment fought against supe- | rior strength for twelve hours. The | most severe engagement was near Ben- | sthu. All our positions were success- | fully held. At Weiningying the Rus- sians have ope brigade. A large col- | umn of the enemy reached Ta Pass on | the 9th. The Russian strength at Tu-.‘ mentsu is one_brigade. “Last night the Russians attempted a close attack against our position and we replied with a portion of our force. | “Reinforcements from our army reached Huolinchia at 4 o’clock on the afternoon of the 9th. A portion reached Bengihu at night and another portion occupled Tumentsu. “The Russians are assembling at Pin- shankou and Tayupo.” OPINIONS OF EXPERTS. Believe That General Kuropatkin Is Running .a Tremendous Risk. LONDON; Oct. 13.—The battle raging south of Mukden has revived to the full public interest in the war. Piece- meal reports from both sides are dis- cussed and analyzed in the fullest de- tails, in the belief that this will prove to be the greatest engagement of the | sent campaign and the news so far received inclines the military experts | to the opinion that General Kuropatkin | is running a tremendous risk by his bold initiative. | There is no confirmation of the re- At the same time the dispatches do not yet point to a success on the Russian | at in the Mayflower early in the new year and assume command of the fleet at Guantanamo. B EPIn S et Duel on Russian Left. AT THE RUSSIAN FRONT, Mon- day, Oct. 10, by Messenger to Mukden, Tuesday, Oct. 11 (delayed in transmis- sion).—The artillery duel is progressing on the Russian left, twenty-seven miles southeast of Mukden, while the fighting | at Yentai rages with terrible bitterness. The Japanese are essaying a counter attack. The result is in the balance. Russian reinforcements are coming up rapidly. PRSP L Desperate Fighting Near Yental. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 12.—General Sakharoff, telegraphing yesterday ening, confirms the report of desper- ate fighting north of Yental, where the heights were alternately held by the Russians and Japanese. General Dan- feloff, who succeeded Geuerals Trous- seff and Roumanoff in command of the Sixth Siberian rifles division, was wounded in the leg, but did not relin- quish his command. AL 5« ST Sortie of Russian Fleet Frustrated. SHANGHAIL Oect. 2.—A refugee from Port Arthur, who has arrived here, says that a sortie of the Russian fleet was contemplated, but that it was frustrated by a Japanese bom- bardment from the batteries overlook- ing the East Basin. ITALIAN RESERVES RESPOND TO THE OCALL Over Fifty Thousand Men Present Themselves to Theig Various Commanders. ROME, Oct. 12.—The reserves, which have been recalled to service with the army, presented themselves to-day to their several commanders. The number thus reporting exceeds |1 50,000, who show discipline and en- thusiasm. The few thousand lacking of the full number recalled is the nor- mal percentage due to death, illness and emigration. The number of troops the disposal of the Government amounts to .000. —_———— LOCAL MEXICAN CONSUL TRANSFERRED TO NEW YORK NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—The Mexican Consulate in this city has been ad- vised of the appointment of Cayetano Romero as Consul General of Mexico in this city to succeed the late Dr. Juan N.
