General Mistchenko, who had been reported to be raiding in Korea, played a conspicuous part in the fighting on the Russian left flank. According to the latest news of the fighting in the direction of Benshiu the Russians were striving for the posses- sion of a pass, but no news was re-| ceived from there yesterday.

While General Stoes- | sel's report of the condition .of affairs Port Arthur is no later than October it shows that the garrison at that time was in unimpaired spirits, mak- ing a heroic defense against a serles of the most bitter assaults in all the his- tory of sieges. The closeness of the fighting and the deadly character of the attacks and counter attacks are shown | by the fact that both sides are using | hand grenades, and that the Japanese, | after a bloody capture of the important Signal Station Hill, were unable to hold the position in the race of the fire from the fortress. The repeated failure of the Japanese to hold a footing once gaingd in the circle of inner forts is received here with much satisfaction, as indicating the skill with which the defenses of the port were constructed, the main line of forts supporting one another s0 as to render any one position almost | certainly untenable, evén if tempo- | rarily captured by an enemy. But the| reckless ferocity of the assaults by an overwhelming force of Japanese seems ! to make it certain that Port Arthur can be held only by an immense expenditure | of ammunition, and it is becoming a serious question with the authorities how long even the great supply known | to exist in the fortress can last in the} face cf the Japanese attack. The most serious feature of Gencral[ Stoessel's report, from a strategical point of view, is the fact that the Japanese have got a mortar battery in| position to bear on the inner fortress. | Emperor Nicholas held a council of war to-day, at which, it is believed, the | appointment of General Kuropatkin te | the post of commander in chief of the forces in Manchuria was decided upon.

An extended report received from the neadquarters of the Manchuriag ar- | published this afternoon, indicated that the Japanese were generally success- ful in the fighting of yesterday and that all three of the Japanese armies ! gained decided -advantages. The operations designed to isolate and surround the Russians at Benshiu were progressing favorably. The uumbers engaged in the strug- gle exceed the forces which fought at Liaoyang. In some places the fight- ing surpasses in desperation anything shown since the war began. The losses are not indicated, but they unquestion- ably are heavy. A telegram covering yesterday’s op- erations, which arrived here to-day, says: “In the direction of Benshiu the ene- my's attacks have been repulsed at all points. Communication with Chi- aotao has been firmly established. The pursuit of the enemy undertaken by the main force of the right and center armies has progressed remarkably. “A line from Maerhshan to Manchu- afan has been reached. There a body of the enemy, possessing guns, was en- veloped by us-and thrown into great confusion, while another portion of the enemy’'s forces appears to have fled northward, also in great confusion. SLAVS RETIRE IN CONFUSION. “The right army has sent a detach- ment toward Shihchiaotsu for the pur- pose of cutting off the retreat of the enemy posted at Benshiu. “The center army captured two guns and eight ammunition wagons at Sank- waishishan this morning. “According to statements made by prisoners General Kuropatkin, with three divisions, was in the rear*of the force confronting our right army. The center and left columns of this army, after driving & strong force of the ene- my before them, ook the Russian po- sitions at Langtouchich and its vicinity at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon and captured eight guns. Tmne enemy fled ir a disorderly manner to the north and our force, pursuing him, immedi- ately advanced toward Linhanchiatzu. “The right column, after encounter- ing fierce resistance, successfully dis- lodged the enmemy, who was holding positions north -of Yendonuilu. The ene- my retired in confusion. “Our force was engaged in pursuing the enemy toward Lungwangmiao, | south of Wulichiah, at 1:30 o’clock this | afternoon. “The left column is fiercely bombard- ing Peyentai, west of the railroad.” TELEGRAMS FROM OYAMA. ‘While the left army was desperately struggling to envelop the Russian right, Field Marshal Oyama dispatched two telegrams, the first of which said: heights of Pacheatzu. The left column of the right army occupied the north- ern heights of Shaotakou and continues to pursue the enemy’s central column. The right army succeeded in occupying Maerh Mountain. The central army, beginning operations from midnight, October 11, reached the heights ex- tending from Sanchiatzu to Sankaushih Mountain, on the northwest, and is probably pursuing the enemy. The left army continues to dttack ‘the enemy along the Schili River and at Lung- wangmiao and Wulichiah since last night, but has not yet attained its ob- ject. At present, aided with reinforce- ments, the left wing is trying to en- velop the enemy’s right flank by means of a rear engagement in the direction of Penhsuhu and the fighting con- tinues. Judging from the above state of affairs, the operations in those di- réctions are proceeding favorably to! ard the attair. .ent of our first objec The second message was as follows: “In an engagement at midnight on October 11 we captured two field guns and eight ammunition wagons. Major General Murui was wounded and one colonel was killed.” e gD Rt N 'BATTLING BEFORE SUNRISE. Artillery Resumes Engagement Before the Coming of Dawn. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 13.—A dis- patch from a press correspondent, dated Mukden, October 12, morning, says: “The fight opened to-day before sunrise, when the sound of guns was heard from the southward. I am leav- ing now for the front. The Russian troops on Tuesday occupied Yentai Station, but the Japanese continued to hold the Yentai mines, though a furi- ous fight had been in progress there all day lopg. The Russians also cap- tured Benshiu after severe fighting and thus found themselves in an important position on the Japanese flank. “There are many contradictory re- ports of the general results of Tues- day's engagement afloat in Mukden, and it is hard to arrive at an actual conclusion. It is not even known, on the whole, whether the Japanese or the Russians are gaining the most ground.” IS S HAVOC OF JAPANESE SHELLS. Commander of Russian Gunboat Giliak Killed at Port Arthur. CHEFU, Oct. 13.—JIocal Russians confirm the report that the Russian battleship Retvizan was recently hit by a shell from one of the new big Jap- anese guns, but they claim that the damage done was slight. Two sallors were killed. Another shell burst near | the Russian gunboat Giliak, killing her commander and injuring others. The Russians admit that the new Japanese guns furiously threaten the harbor, docks, etc. They believe, however, that the squadron at Port Arthur will remain inélde the harbor ‘until the arrival of the Baltic fleet. S s, BROWN INFANTRY ACTIVE. Russian 'Force Almost Annihiliated in a Counter Attack. FIELD HEADQUARTERS OF THE SECOND JAPANESE ARMY, Tues- day, Oct. 11.—During the night the Japanese occupied the hills, held by the Russians on the right and center of the line, the Russian falling back a digtance of three miles. The Japanese infantry advanced within 1500 yards of the Russian lines at noon and de- feated the Russians in a flerce counter attack, almost annthilating the attack- ing force, which made three charges. The Russian artillery was not silenced, despite a flerce shelling all day. 5 THE GENTER OF CONFLIT Kuropatkin’s Determined Attempt to Capture Key to the Japanese Position Proves Futile Thus Far ENORMOUS NUMBER OF MEN ENGAGED In Terrific Fighting and Ex- ‘tent of Losses Mukden Bat- tle is the Greatest in His- tory of Modern Warfare Ea e Continued From Page 1, Column 7. general staff dated October 11, glves some details of the op=rations of Mon- day and Tuesday.

Russian Agent Offers Rich Rewards to Blockade Runners. TSINGTAU, Oct. 13.—A high Russk officer’ who passed through Tsingtau yesterday on his way to Shanghai is making fabulous offers'to shippers to take cargoes to Port Arthur and this officer has admitted that the supplies there are alarmingly low, especially those of coal. The German steamship Emma, which cleared from here yesterday for San Prancisco with a cargo of coal, will at- tempt to reach Port Arthur. The for- eign crew of the Emma has been re- placed by Chinese. Many of the crew deserted upon learning the destination of the ship. It is said that the Russians paid the owners of the Emma $15 per ton, be- sides depositing the appraised value of the vessel, with a bonus of 25 per cent in bank before the cargo was loaded, and that the captain, should he suc- cessfully run the blockade, is to be awarded a prize of $1256. A dispatch from Tsingtau on Octo- ber 7 said that the British steamer Howick Hall was discharging a cargo of coal to the German steamship Em- ma and that the latter was expected tc make an attempt to reach Port Arthur within a few days from the time the dispatch was sent. ko it SLAV BRAVERY IS WASTED. Czar's Soldiers No Match for the Isl- and Infantry. LONDON, Oct. 14.—The Standard’s correspondent in the field with General Kuroki, telegraphing on October 11, says: “After two days’ heavy fighting the enemy’s resistance was broken this afternoon and the Russians aré now in full retreat.” Describing a fight for a rock sur- mounted by a picturesque temple, the correspondent says: “At times it was a hand-to-hand con- flict. The Russians fought -hard and @esperately, but were no match for the -Japanese infantry. On the other hand, we suffered a disadvantage. Our guns ‘were out of range and were constantly reduced to silence for the greater part ‘of the day. A timely mist enabled the Japanese to draw _near, comparatively .without damage, to the hills of the ‘Russian position and from which the Russians were forced to withdraw. Their retirement was very leisurely, and the- guns in particular remained on the ground longer than seemed safe.” The Daily Mall's Tokio correspondent asserts. that the pursuit, by the Japan- ese is working great havoc to the dis- spirited Russians, who left their dead and Wwounded on the field. The Rugs- sian forces are estimated at 200,000, with 1000 guns, and. the correspondent says the fighting was the most sevhre and terrible of the whole war. —— FREE —— FREE — FREE.

LONDON, Oct. 13.—News of the bat- tle between the Russians and Japanese was eagerly awaited here throughout the day at the Japanese legation. Many inquiries were made there by British | officials, but the Japanese authorities were even less informed than the newspapers. The suspense was not untinged with anxiety, which was more noticeable than during any pre- vious phase of the war. Baron Hay- ashi, the Japanese Minister, said: ““The reports of our success, welcome as they are, must not be construed as being a forerunner of any decisive blow. It is practically impossible for Marshal Oyama to envelop and utterly crush General Kuropatkin, just as it is practically impossible for Kuropatkin to envelop Oyama. A victory in the battle now raging means to us that Kuropatkin must confess defeat, which is important, but not decisive. He can put forward no strategical excuses, as at Liaoyang. Any retreat on the part of the Russian forces now is an open confession to the world that tHey have suffered a serious reverse. OYAMA’'S STRONG POSITION. ‘“Heretofore it has been an open ques- tion in some quarters whether Kuro- patkin's strategy was not more re- sponsible for the Russian retirement than Japanese aggression. Kuropat- kin' has chosen to brush aside all that doubt and make a plain issue. Let it be remembered that Oyama so far has only been fighting from his first line of defense. Retirement to Oyama merely means falling back upon his main de- fenses and base—namely, Liaoyang— where all preparations in the way of fortifications and ammunition have been made for a prolonged stand, in case of necessity. That Oyama has met Kuropatkin’s advance on Yantai with a counter advance indicates a greater state of preparedness on the part of our forces than I expected. But there is some doubt if Oyama could follow up any advantage gained In #hat {s comparatively an open fight. Dyama’s acceptance of a general en- gagement from his first and weaker lines implies strength, which makes the motive of Kuropatkin's attack ail the more puzzling. PEACE NOT IN SIGHT. “I understand that such attempts as Kuropatkin made to cut our lines of communication appear to have been confined to those connecting ‘us with Korea. Some other military ecritics seem to forget that our main lines of communication are now with New- chwang and not with the Yalu. This is an- infinitely cheaper and quicker method of transport. Our second army lines of communication over the Yalu to Korea were maintained only with great difficulty and because we had no other alternative. “Whatever the result .of the present /attle, whether Oyama retire to his po- sition at Liaoyang or whether he force Kuropatkin back ' toward Mukden, it will only have a small bearing upon the decision of the grim issues at stake.” “Until Port Arthur fals,” says the Baron, “a proposal looking to peace must be futile. Defeat or victory to the Russian Manchurian armies merely swells the daily death roll. Kuropat-| kin driven back and utterly defeated would simoly harden Russia’'s heart. Kuropatkin temporarily successful | would inspire new enthusiasm. In such a see-saw there is no hope of peace. TALKS OF INTERVENTION. “Port Arthur is different. Should it be captured those in Russia who are supposed to favor a reasonable settle- ment would have a sentimental, ma- terial factor in favor of their point of .view that no development of the Man- churian campaign could provide.

PETERSBURG, Oct. 13.—General Stoessel, commander of the Russian troops at Port Arthur, telegraphs that the Russians recently recaptured Signal Hill. He adds that the Japanese are bombarding the interior of the fortress with new batteries and that the bom- bardment is becoming more and more violent. General Stoessel’s report to is as follows: “The Japanese, having increased the number of their guns against the north front, commenced an approach against that section of the fortress on the night of October 1, but were stopped by vol- leys. The Japanese then directed their attack on the extreme right, assalling Signal Hill, which is situated near the | sea, and commenced an attack from Siaku Hill. Having repulsed our sharp- | shooters, the Japanese occupied Signal ‘ Hill. At daylight Signal Hill was shelled by Russian artillery, after | which our companies drove off the Jap- anese and reoccupied the position. “The Japanese are using explosives inclosed in Boxes and provided with Bickford fuses, which they throw like hand grenades. Our army is employing | similar weapons. “Our indefatigable hero, Kondra- tenko, is continually inventing fresh | means of striking the enemy. The| troops continue showing heroism, the wounded returning to the ranks with great ardor.” Under date of October 7, Stoessel reports as follows: “The Japanese have organized fresh batteries to bombard the inner fort One of these batteries is composed’ of eleven-inch mortars. The bombard- ment is becoming more violent every day. The enemy has received rein- forcements of several battalions. The weather is cold. The spirit of the troops is excellent and all, from the chiefs to the lowest soldier, are eager to fight the enemy.” ——ee——— PRESIDENT PREPARING TO REDEEM HIS PROMISE General Invitations Will Be Sent to Powers Asking for Meeting to Revise The Hague Convention. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—The Pres- ident is preparing to redeem his prom- ise to the delegates to the interpar- liamentary peace conference to secure another meeting of plenipotentiaries of the powers signatory to The Hague convention, with a view to revising and adding to that instr@ment. The State Department will address sepa- rate notes to every government repre- sented in the last conference, inviting suggestions as to the time and place of meeting, and without doubt in the spirit of caution that is always ex- hibited by diplomats many of these governments will. seek to secure an ironclad agreement as to the scope of the conference. Many limitations are expected to be proposed in this way and it is realized that much difficulty will be experienced in securing har- mony. Genius of Nippon’s Inventors Contributes Toward the Mikado’s Sueeess in the Grim Conflict With Russia SHIMOSE POWDER DEADLY EXPLOSIVE {Quickfiring Guns, Submarine Mines and Superior Fuses Carry Destruction to the Foe’s Armies and Warships The present war has developed much ingenuity on both sides, both in making new engines of destraction and in applying forces and means al- ready well known to the same end. With their electrical field mines, electrically charged, barbed wire en- tanglements at Port Arthur, the Russians make the work of their assailants most difficult and deadly; while, on the other hand, the Japanese have availed themselves with equally telling effect of new arms and devices of their own contriving and manufac- ture, the secrets of which are sedug lously concealed. Of these new engines of war made use of by the Mikado's men four may be mentioned as having been wonder- fully efficient—have made the names of their inventors honored at home and famous abroad. These are the Arisaka quick-firing gun for fleld ar- tillery and the infantry rifle, the Iguin fuse, the Oda submarine mine and the Shimose powder. To the last two is due most of the destruction wrought upon the Russian war vessels at Port Arthur and in the Korean Straits, as well as at Chem- ulpo. The Shimose powder is not used as a propellant in guns, but as an explo- sive in shells, and is said to be infe- rior only to blasting gelatine in fts deadly effects. It was first used in action by the Asama in the destruction of the Variag at Chemulpo. The Oda mine, a type of which is sald to have blown up the Petro- polavsk is a wonderful invention, which automatically adjusts itself to any depth of water and carries an enormous charge of explosive, fnsur- ing destruction to any vessel so un- fortunate as to touch it. The Arisaka gun is a three-inch piece, firing either common shell or shrapnel, the latter weighing thirteen pounds and carrying 230 balls. In aec- tion it fires four or five shots per min- ute. The breech is closed by a screw lock. The gun weighs 1900 pounds and with the carriage complete only 3500 pounds, giving it great mobility. The Arisaka rifle for infantry ‘is a modification of the Mauser, withh a very small caliber, .06 of an inch less than the Lee-Enfleld rifle. It has proved very efficient in “stopping” men in action. ‘The Iguin fuse, invented by Vice Ad- miral Iguin, second in command of the general staff of the Japanese navy. Its merit lles in its simplicity and its cer- tainty of action at the proper time. It is said to exceed anything in use by other nations, as far as is known. —_———————— Golfers Remain to Play.
