TOKIO, Oct. 16, 9:30 a. m.—Suc- | ceeding reports increase the extent of | the Russian slaughter in the desperat: | battle that has raged for the past week. General Kuroki has reported that his army alone has buried 4500 Russian dead. The reports of Generals | Nodzu and Oku are incomplete, but everything indicates that Field Mar- shal Oyama’s estimate of the Russian loss at 30,000 men will fall far below the actual mark. A report dealing | | with the Russian losses received dur- | ing the night from the Japanese field dquarters says: he loss sustained by the enemy | opposing our right army so far as ascertained follows: Bodles left near Bensihu, on the left bank of the Tai- | tse River, 350; in front of our Bensihu detachment, 1500; at Talin, 300; near Tumentsu, 200; before the right column, 200; near Kouinkok and north of Tumentsu, 1200; near Chien- tao, 300; north of Panlassan and near Wumingsu, 150; before the left column near Shaotakou and north- ward, 300; total, 4500. The number left in other places has not been counted yet, but it is large. The enemy’s loss in this direction must exceed 20.000. “Among the trophies reported cap- | tured are 200 shells, six ammunition | wagons and much uncounted muni- tions. The enemy’s loss’in the direc- tion of the center and left armies is | under investigation | T { KUROPATKIN IN PERIL. | S | Japanese Train Batteries Upon the Russian Commander. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 15.—Ac- cording to special dispatches received here General Kuropatkin had a nar- row escape during the flerce fighting | of Wednesday night and Thursday for the possession of Tempgle Hill and the double-horned mountain east of the railroad. With his staff he was per- sonally directing the fighting at this point. Orderlies were constantly gal- loping up with reports from other parts of the field and carrying dis- j patches to and from the telephone and telegfaph stations, which were working behind the hills. This evi- dently attracted the attention of the Japanese, who cleverly unmasked 1 some batteries, the shells from which |burst all around the distinguished group, compelling General Kuropat- I kin to shift his position hastily ana 1 seek shelter. It is understood that General Kuro- | patkin, before the battle commenced again, designated Lieutenant Gerferal | Sakharoff and then Lieutenant Gen- ; eral Bilderling to succeed him in the j command in the event of his being disabled. s Oku’s Great Victory. | FIELD HEADQUARTERS OF THE | SECOND JAPANESE ARMY, Thurs- 4 day, Oct. 13.—Fullgr divisional re- ports give increased importance to the victory achieved yesterday by the left army. Twenty-four Russian guns were caotured when the retreat be- gan, together with many rifles. The Russians lost heavily in counter at- tacks, the Japanese loss being much smaller. The advance continued all day, the Russians retreating before it. Siith Day of he MUKDEN, Oct. 15.—A Russian cor- respondent in his story of the fighting below Mukden says: “The struggle was resumed to-day at NCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, daybreak, with every promise of an- other day of stubborn combat. It is now the sixth day of fighting \mpr«:e-1 dented in history for the stubbornness and tenacity shown by both sides. 1 “The fighting on Friday morning was | resumed at 6 o'clock. We again ad-| vanced from Shekhe, capturing the ad- | vanced positions held by the Japanese by brilllant attacks by the Epifaniev- s! and Yukhiovsky regiments. We' reached their second line positions, but here a flerce artillery fire compelled our troops to halt, and a desperate artillery duel was commenced. Twelve Japanese guns were silenced, every gunner being killed and their infantry suppoyt being driven back. The guns stood in plain view, but it was impossible for ‘us to take them. Two battalions which were | ordered to secure the Japanese guns advanced in the face of a terrible can- nonade and rifie fire from the Japanese rear positions. It was, however, an im- | | possible task, the shrapnel of the en-| decimating the advancing ranks, | whole companies withering under the rific fire, and our men were com- | d to abandon the attempt. | “Later in the day a similar fate be- | fell three of our batteries. They had advanced behind our Infantry to pave the way for an attack on the Japanese position, but the Infantry was forced back, the artillerymen were almost all | killed and the guns remained alone. ! The Japanese made a desperate ad- vance in the hope of securing the gun: but each time were driven off, and to- ward nightfall we removed the guns safely. } “Our artillery action was beyond praise. Throughout the day the services of the guns and the accuracy of the fire were splendid. An entire battalion of Japanese was mowed down while at- tempting to advance, the troops fight- ing b antly and blood literally flow- ing in streams. Everywhere death seems to be a secondary consideration. “Toward evening the fighting at| Shakhe abated and we and the Japan- ese retained our respective positions. “Excellent news was received from the Eastern division on Friday night, | but it is so sensational that it seems in- advisable to give it out until it shall ve been officially confirmed. We can 1ly counsel patience. Any hour may | decide the fate of the battle.” i —_— | Shipping Submarine Torpedo-Boats. | NEWPORT NEWS, Oct. 15.—Two | of the Lake submarine torpede-boats ' built at the shipyards here and be- | lieved to be destined for the Japanese | or Russian governments, were hoist- | ed on board the Kennebec to-day.| ccording to the foreman in charge f the 600 men engaged in loading| the craft, the Kennebec will sail for !

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, Oct. 15—What will probably be the most important meet- ing of the National Board for the Pro- motion of Rifle Practice since that'body was organized under an act of Con- gress several years ago will be held at the War Department on October 22. The national board is composed of twenty-one members, including five from the regular army and navy estab- lishments. The board was instructed to formulate a plan for & national marks- men reserve, which plan has been agreed upon and approved by the Sec- retary of War. At the coming meeting, it is expected, steps will be taken for the preparation of a bill to be submit- ted to Congress. It is not expected that Congress will act on all the suggestions of the board at one time, as the scheme for creating a marksmen’'s reserve is very compre- hensive and begins with the education of boys in military schools 3nd pro- vides for the encouragement of rifle practice for both civilians and members of the militia on a large and liberal scale. The board recommends the establish- ment of shooting gallerles and field ranges, the furnishing of arms and am- munition, supervision and instruction, inducements for practice, such as tro- phies, badges, etc., and publication and distribution of literature bearing on this subject. It is desired that the standard mili- tary sifle in use by the Government should be made available for civilian practice and it is probable some provi- sion to this end wiil be made in the bill which the board will recommend. Hundreds of inquiries have been re- ceived from rifie clubs, instructors at military schools and individuals as to how this arm can be procured and there seems to be little doubt that rifle practice will be stimulated, especially among civilians, by the distribution of the Krag rifie. The Krag carbines will soon be discarded by the cavalry arm of the regular establishment and the national board will seek to obtain pos- session of them for distribution to mil- ‘itary schools, at the rate of about ten | pleces to each school where army of- | cers are detailed as instructors. It also is proposed that one carbine for each twenty-five scholars should be REMARKABLE PLAY g Continued From Page 39, Column 5. and then California by judicious line bucking carried the pigskin to Stan- ford's seven-yard line and lost her chance to score again by ng an end run.

Stanford Students Haul Down the En- sign, but It Is Recovered. The Stanford students nearly avenged the loss of the famous red ax of years ago by the capture of the big 30-foot varsity flag yesterday from the Berkeley campus. The affair was well planned and the attemnt made when the attention of everybody was turned to the football game. The flag was hauled down and removed from the halyards and the three bold Stanford men were fast getting to cover when the armorer of the university noticedl that the big U. C. ensign no longer proudly waved from the flagpole. He | sounded an alarm and soon saw the triple cardinal captors making for the timber. Professor C. W. Woodworth and two small boys, Monroe Marliare and El- mer Varue, heard the alarm and im- mediately started in pursuit. The pro- fessor and the lads headed off the Stanford men, who had their prize rolled up in a bundle, and turned them into a small wooded creek. They disappeared in the bushes, but the trailers were on their track. They appeared presently with- out the bundle on the other side of the stream. Professor Woodworth knew that the closely pursued raiders had secretéd their prize in the bushes. After beating up the brush in the creek bottom for a short time he found the flag hidden in the thicket. The ensign was borne in triumph home and safely locked up by the armorer, $ecure from raiding squad- rons of the cardinal. —_——— Canada is to have a big tobacco fac- OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Changes Are Made in the Postal Serv- ice and Californians Are Given Appointments.
