A junk which reached this port to- @ay from Port Dalny was allowed to leave only on condition that she take no coolles, whom the Japanese are using in large numbers in construct- ing warehouses and removing the dead and wounded. The wounded are tak- en to the railroad and thence are transported to Dalny, from which port they are shipped to Japan. The Jap- anese have practically completed im- mense warehouses between Port Dalny and Port Arthur and have therein sup- plies sufficient to last them until spring. Similar preparations have been made at Newchwang and the Japanese expect the release of sixty transports next month. A junk which left Liaoti Promontory yesterday was driven by a gale and ar- rived here to-night, bringing one hun- éred coolies who left Port Arthur be- cause they feared injury from the Jap- anese shells. These coolies say that on October 13 there was fierce fighting for several hours on the slopes of Rih- jung Mountain between comparatively small forces, during which the Japan- ese Jost 300 killed or wounded. The coolies were unable to give details of the fighting, but apparently it was the made by the Rusians against the Jap- enese, who were attempting to ad- wance from their trenches. —— Baltic Fleet’s Destination. SKAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 20.—The wessels of the Russian Baltic Sea fleet grrived here this morning and an- chored in the bay. It is learned the ‘Baltic fleet intends to proceed to Viad- tvostok, which it will reach in eighty- five days. 1in the place.

TOKIO, Oct | ceived from 20.—Rellable reports re- private sources estimate the losses of the Japanese left army ! (General Oku’s) during the recent battle at about 5000. ! The number of Russian dead is large- ly increased by the further discovery of bodies, notwithstanding the nightly re { movals by lantern light. The Russian forces have been rein forced by about 30,000 men of the Sev- enteenth Corps, a large portion of the Tenth Corps and portions of the Fifth and Sixth Siberian Corps, which re- cently arrived, In all six dlivisions of the Russian '‘army now confront the Japanese left army. It is announced at headquarters here that the Japanese left army captured, near Langtouchieh, six ammunition carts, 5354 rifles, 4920 rounds of field gun ammunition, 78,000 rounds of rifle ammunition and tents, clothing, sabers and implements. Manchurian headquarters, telegraph- ing yesterday, reviews the situation at the front as follows: “Yesterday the center column of the right army attacked and dislodged the enemy’s cavalry holding Tunchiafen, but a small body of the enemy’s in- fantry has returned to that eminence. The enemy continues to hold Waitao Mountain. “There has been no change in front of the center army, except that there are occasional exchanges of shells. “It is quiet in front of the left army, though the enemy occasionally sends, shells toward our positions. On the night of October 18 the enemy attacked front of the left column, but was repulsed.” THEI R JAPANE ATTACK FAILS. Russians Hold to the Lone Tree Hill Fortifications. MUKDEN, Oct. 20.—A Russlan cor- respondent sends the following account of an attempt of the Japanese to retake | Lone that sians: ““On the night of October 18 the Jap- anese brought their rapid fire guns to the front and we felt through the dark- ness, though we could scarcely see, a Tree Hill after the capture of important position by the Rus- desperate attack launched against the | whole line. Some say the object w: to retake the fifteen guns that we had wrested from them, while others are of the opinion that a general attack had been planned of which this move was a mere diversion, the main object being to recapture the vital position of Poutiloff, formerly Lone Tree Hill. In any event the enemy found Kuropatkin at home and they were not kept long | knocking at his front door. | “The first warning of their coming | was the rattle of quick firing guns con- | centrated on the Nineteenth Regiment. We lay silent while thought it was paving the way for the Japanese attack. fantry and we opened with the favorite Russian volley firing. It was black, but as the darkness was lit up with the glare of our volleys we could faintly see the shadowy waves of the enemy’s infantry breaking and sink- ing as they tried to breast our trenches. | The first fierceness of their attack spent itself. Then came an unaccount- able panic that sometimes grips even brave men in darkness. They seemed to think we were advancing to attack, for they turned and fled in confusion. Now we have quiet nights. The troops are resting. Japanese reports of their victories are baseless. “I have just met an officer of the eastern column, who was with General Mistchenko during the operation of Oc- | tober 13. It seems the Japanese were | harrying his left flank while he was | trying simultaneously to keep in touch with our eastern and with our central | forces. General Mistchenko appealed | for aid, and a squadron of dragoons was sent to his support. ron occupied a hill southwest of Ya- | nientun, a village seven miles north- west of Bentsiaputze and on the Muk- | den road. It turned out® that the Jap- anese held a neighboring hill with a| | force of infantry concealed in the woods at the foot of the hill, we sent another squadron to turn the Japenese position. The country is in- tersected with ravines, and our caval- rymen were forced to go afoot. Cap- tain Sherubovich captured the hill, his | dragoons routing out the Japanese from the woods at the foot of the hill and fighting their way to the top. The | Japanese, seeing another squadron as- | cending the opposite side, while a rifle | regiment was turning their flank, feared we had cut them off from the west road, which was the only line of retreat they had, and began to retire in disorder. We caught and cut down groups as they tried vainly to gain the westerp road. The dragoons used their sabers with deadly effect, both in at- | tacking the hill and during the retreat. {Some of the Japanese scorned to give | or take quarter, and died fighting, bay- ! onets against sabers, in the trenches, { while their companions fled.” In an account of the Russian cap- | ture of Lone Tree Hili the correspon- | dent says: “The gunners, refusing to surren- | der, died to a man among their smok- !ing guns, and the regiment swept on, routing the Japanese from behind a stone wall, whence they fled in con- fusion. Meantime the Third Battalion | surrounded a native village, which | threatened the rear attacking col- Jumn. There was a hand-to-hand | fight in the streets before the village | was cleared of Japanese, and the bat- | talion surrounded and burned a sec- {ond village, taking a number of pris- | oners, where there was again an ex- {ample of Japanese bravery. An of- ficer, his revolver empty, stood alone, sword in hand, to receive the rush of our column and went down fighting. “Prisoners whom we captured early in the fight were kept in the trenches, but begged to be sent to the rear, fearing to be recognized by their comrades as having sur- rendered.” their artiilery | Then came the In- | pitcn | and so ' Japanese Left Army Inlicts Crushing Blow Belated Advices ' From General Oku’s Camp. jThousandsofRus- sian Dead Are Interred. |\ WITH GENERAL OKU'S LEFT | ARMY, Sunday, Oct. 16.—The seven | days’ battle north of Yentai was the | heaviest blow yet struck the Russians | by the Japanese, so far as loss of life | is concerned. The left Japanese army | during the week buried 4100 Russian ead left in front of its lines. A vil- age In front of the left wing contains many Russian dead, but the shell fire of the retreating Russians prevents the Japanese reaching them. Con- servative estimates place the Russian casualties at not less than 25,000. Probably many more dead are on the field, in places not yet searched. The Japanese report their total cas- | ualties at a little more than 3000 killed and wounded. | The principal Russian casualties oc« | curred in determined counter attacks against each village captured by the Japanese. The Russian attacking par- ties were in many cases entirely an- I nihilated. For the first time the Rus- sians have met the Japanese on an | equal footing, not having strong de- fensive positions to depend upon, and |for the first time they attacked the | Japanese in the latter’s own trenches. The Russians everywhere fought bravely, but they were unable to drive the Japanese out or to hold their own positions against fierce charges. Al- | most in everv case the Russians re- tired from their positions at the first charge, then made repeated attempts to recapture them. The Japanese left army, with a front of nearly ten miles, moved for- ward about five miles, fighting over every inch of ground. The final re- treat of the Russians was almost a rout this morning. The Japanese ex- treme left advanced, driving the rem- nant of Russians ahead. The Russians covered their retreat well with artil- [lery and carried away much baggage and manv wounded. At 7:30 o’clock this morning the Russians made a determined counter attack at Lamuting with two regi- ments of infantry and two batteries of artillery They were repulsed after a half hour’s fighting, with heavy loss. The Japanese left army during the ven days’ fighting has captured four guns, a large number of rifles and overcoats and 100 prisoners. The strength of the Russians opposed to the left army was three corps and thirty companies of artillery. All but a very small part were newly arrived troops. The Japanese soldiers were practically the same that fought be- fore Liaoyang. Chinese report that heavy works are ready for the Russlans along the Hun River. The Japanese are undecided where the next stand will be made. PR o | WOUNDED FIGHT WITH TEETH. | Ferocity of the Combat on the Crest of Lone Tree Hill, ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20.—Ad- ditional details of the capture of Lone Tree Hill bestow much credit on Col- onel Baskoff of the Thirty-sixth Rifles Regiment, who was leading one of the storming parties. Finding that his men were giving way he seized the regimental colors and dashed for- ward toward the Japanese trenches, shouting: “Brothers, save the flag!” The regiment, although terribly pun- ished, responded gallantly. The wounded in the trenches fought with | their teeth. The Wilmanstrand regiment, while storming the front of the hill, fired by mistake on some of their comrades, | who were circling the Japanese flank. The warm clothing on the Japanese | gorpses was promptly appropriated by the Russians. More than 600 Japan- ese were buried on the hill e e ED AS A DISGUISE. NoT Soldiers to Keep Warm. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—As indi- cated in the Tokio dispatches, the Jap- anese Government has entered a for- mal protest against the use by certain bedies of Russian troops of Chinese clothing. The State Department has transmitted the Japanese complaint to the American Embassy in St. Peters- ! burg for presentation to the Russian | Government. | It is understood here that the Chin- | ese clothing was not used by the Rus- | s‘an troops to deceive the enemy, but | simply to make good the failure of | the Russlan quartermaster department to supply much-needed warm cloth- {ing upon the sudden advent of cold weather in Manchuria. Nevertheless, it is believed here that the wearing | of this Chinese clothing constitutes a technical violation of the rules of war. | IR e AWAITS DRYING OF ROADS. | | Kuropatkin Will Resume Battle as | Soon as Weather Permits. | ST. PETERSBURG, Oct, 21, 2:30 a. | m.—Apart from skirmishes and ex- i most a complete suspension of opera- | tions in Manchuria. Rain, impassable | roads, and exhausted armies are fac- the cessation of hostilities, and these : conditions are aggravated by a dense fog overspreading the whole of the the- ater of war. As to the stories of General Kuro- patkin's intention of retreating it is suflicient to refer to the energetic | scouting behind the Japanese lines to show that the Russian commander is determined to engage the enemy as soon as the weather permits.

They light a series of enormous camp fires at false bivouacs and then stealthily creep upon the Russian sentinels, who, peering into the darkness and blinded by the glare, cannot see the Japanese approaching. Or they take advantage of a rainstorm and try to surprise the Russians. un Tuesday night they adopted both ruses, but ran into a hornet’s nest. The night was inky black, rain was falling and a cold wind was blowing. “A fine night for the Japanese,” every one sald, and the Russians huddled in the trenches had strict orders that if the expected but uninvited guests ap- peared they should not fire, but meet them with the bayonet. It was so dark that a person could not see his hand before his face, except vaguely. Through the rain, in the direction of the false campfires, all eyes were strained and ears listened intently. The wind, which was as cold as ice and cut | to the bone, was suddenly freighted with ominous sounds, an unmistakable squash in the mire and squirting of water under the tramp of hurrying feet, accompanied by the metallic rattle of arms. The Russians stooped lower. The officers passed along another cau- tion—under no circumstances to fire, but to meet the Japanese with the bayonet. On they came. The Russians could aiready see the silhouettes of the Jap- anese and watched the approach of their victims with grim satisfaction, their only anxiety being iest some nervous soldier might fire and thus spoil the game. The Japanese came on, straining their eyes in the darkness, evidently believing that the Russians were not so close. When they were right under their feet, the Russians arpse as if out of the ground and, with a hurrah, wildly fell upon them with the bayonet. The front ranks of the Japanese broke, turned and smashed into the second line, throwing the whole force into dis- order. Like a rabble they tried to es- cape, but the Russians gave them no mercy, bayoneting them as they pur- sued. For a mile the work of slaughter proceeded and few of the Japanese lived to carry back the tale. In the morning the ground was strewn with corpses. Sinchinpu still remains half in Rus- sian hands and half in the hands of the Japanese. The former have not been able to dislodge the latter from the Buddhist temple which they so thor- oughly fortified when the village was occupied by their forces. o= ECHO OF LIAOYANG BATTLE. Private Letter Reveals the Extent of * General Orloff’s Blunder. MUKDEN, Oct. 15.—There are now available for the first time two inter- esting technical statements. One is General Kuropatkin's order of battle at Liaoyang, issued between the evacua- tion of the advanced positions on the southern front and the desperate Jap- anese assaults on August 30 and 31 on the main positions around the town. The other is a detailed description of the military defenses of Liaoyang, ‘written by an expert Russian officer on the ground. This shows clearly that, though Liaoyang was fortified to the limit of military engineering skill, Ku- ropatkin had made all preparations in | advance for the withdrawal of the Rus- | sian army in case a decisive victory was not achieved. The statement also shows that this withdrawal of the com- missariat and supplies had begun early in July, and it was only the reserve | stock of supplies, which had been re- | tained in case of a Russian victory, | that was removed on August 31. | It is also significant that even early {in July the bulk of the supplies that were removed were transported to Tie Pass, indicating no intention at that date of making a decisive stand at Mukden. It is made clear that the only danger threatening the defense of and withdrawal from Liaoyang was the possibility that Japanese, traversing the hills to the eastward, would make a descent on the railroad about Yentai. This was provided against and actually occurred. It was here, if at all, that Kuropatkin hoped to catch the Japan- ese in their own trap and defeat them in detail. How nearly this came to pass is told in a private letter from an officer par- ticipating in the Liaoyang fight on the Russian right flank. The letter, how- ever, gives even a worse picture than hitherto drawn of the terrible miscar- riage of plans in connection with Or- loff’s division. Orloff was directed to take and hold at all costs a naturally strong position dominating the Russian eastern flank. The hill in question was unoccupied, and Orloff had three regi- ments to throw upon it in abundant time to head off Kuroki. But, through a bungling of directions, the force was actually lost in the fields of Chinese corn, and entirely missed Its objective, meeting the Japanese before either had occupied the position. Orloff lost many of his best officers, while his force was crumpled up and in aimless retreat through the dense carn fields, when Stakelberg came to his rescue. Stakel- berg retrieved what otherwise would have been a disastrous defeat, but the rescue was too late to give Kuropatkin -+ any chance of the victory for which he had hoped, and it was only by the ut- most exertion and skill that the Rus- sian army was safely withdrawn north- ward. IS Ol haie JAPANESE BATTALION TAKEN. Surprised by Russians and Compelled to Lay Down Its Arms. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20.—A dispatch to the Bourse Gazette from Mukden, dated October 19, says that on October 18 a detachment of the Russian vanguard on the west front surrounded a Japanese battalion and compelled it to lay down its arms. The Bourse Gazette's correspondent at Mukden adheres to the story that the Japanese are slowly retiring. LRI RO America Not to Interfere. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20.—The Russian authorities have been unoffi- cially assured that the report that the United States contemplated ten- dering its good offices in the interest ‘of the restoration of peace in the Far Iast is untrue. The assurance was received with satisfaction, although the report had not been given credence in Government circles. STOLEN VALUABLES SENT BACK TO HER BY MAIL Miss L.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20.—Suf- fering from acute nervous disorders, Dr. George H. Purviande of Wash- ington, D. C., , assistant surgeon general of the Marine Hospital Ser- vice, jumped from a fourth story window of the Orthopedic Hospital in this city to-night and was instantly killed. He was 63 years old. GAINS GROUND Dense Fog Settles Over Battlefield MUKDEN, Oct. 20. — The hostile armies have to-day been concealed from view of each other by a dense fog, in which it has been impossible to make out objects at a distance of 100 paces. Under such conditions only un- important operations are possible, such as surprises and ambushes. Possibly, were the roads in better condition, the fog might favor movements of troops and concentrations at unexpected points, but without question operations on a large scale would be too danger- ous, and so everything has been quiet on the front to-day. Neither cannon- ading nor musketry firing has been audible. An exchange of artillery fire con- tinued on October 18 and 19, the Russian center advancing slightly each day under a heavy shell fire. On the left the Russians are in a good position, on a high hill overlook- ing the Shakhe River, which they have held since October 18, despite an almost continuous bombardment and frequent infantry attacks. On the right the Russians are using mortars in an endeavor to dislodge the Japanese from a small hill in the plain. WITH THE RUSSIAN POSITION AT THE VILLAGE OF HUANSIAN, TEN MILES SOUTH OF MUKDEN, Oct. 20.—All has been quiet to-day om the western front. There were isolated discharges .of artillery in the early hours of the day, but later complete silence prevailed. There was a sudden attack by the Japanese at 3:25 o'clock yesterday afternoon on the Russian advanced po- sitions southwest of Mukden, held by the Thirty-fifth Rifles, belonging to General Kondratovich's division. Col- onel Mustnitsky promptly sent out three companies to make a counter attack and the Japanese quickly fell | back, having sustained severe losses. The Russian casualties were three | killed and eleven wounded. The Jap- anese were pressed so hard that they were obliged to abandon a gun bearing the number 363, but before abandoning the gun the breech block was removed. The limber contained forty-four rounds of ammunition. Thanks to the dense | fog prevailing at the time, the Rus- slans. were able to remove the gun | without the loss of a single man. A few scouts belo.ging to the same | regiment that night raided the Japan- ese trenches and brought away a num- ber of entrenching tools. COMPROMISE OV DIVORCE QUESTION BOSTON, Oct. 20.—By an overwhelm- ing majority a compromise canon on the remarriage of divorced persons was adopted by the House of Deputies of the Episcopal General Convention to- day, and if it is concurred in by the House of Bishops the most important issue that has come before the present convention will be disposed of for at least three years. The compromise measure, like the old law, permits the remarriage of the in- nocent person in a divorce for the cause of infidelity, but further provides that no remarriage shall be allowed within one year after a decree has been issued by a civil court. Satisfactory proof of the innocence of the applicant for re- marriage must be furnished in the shape of court records, and after the consent of the Bishop is obtained a clergyman may refuse to perform such | a ceremony without subjecting himself to censure or discipline. In the opinion of Francis A. Lewis of Philadelphia, a member of the commit- tee on canons, who favored no re- marriage of any divorced persons, but who accepted the compromise, canon adopted to-day, if indorsed by the Bishops, will practically put the church, as he expressed it, out of the divorce business. Others, however, claimed that they saw “loopholes” in it. The vote on the passage stood: Cleri cals—52 dioceses for, 7 against, 2 divid- ed; lay vote—46 dioceses for, § against and 2 divided. The House of Bishops to-day nomi- nated Henry D. Aves of Houston, Texas, for missionary Bishop of Mex- ico, to have supervision over English speaking congregations in that coun try. A two days’ session of the National Council of the Clerical Union for the Maintenance and Defense of Catholic Principles, a high church 8rganization, was opened with solemn vespers at the Church of the Advent to-night. Bishop Isaac Lee Nicholson of Milwaukee, president of the union, officlated. The House of Deputies and the Bish- ops, sitting jointly as the board of mis- sions, heard reports from the mission fields this afternoon. To-morrow the the |« HUSBAND NOW [NDER.ARREST Spectal Dispatch to The Call. BRIDGEPORT, N. J,, Oct. 20.—Frank Rasinger, whose handsome wife was murdered Tuesday, with her babe on her breast, was arrested this afternoon and taken to the county jail. As no di- | rect proot had been obtained against | him he was not charged with the mur- der, but was held as a witness. The prosecuting attorney and the | Coroner spent the greater part of the day at the Rasinger farm, questioning separately each member of the house- | hold. They found that the exact dis- | tance between the kitchen, where Mrs. | Rasinger was killed, and the spot in | the carriage house, where Rasinger says he was sorting potatoes, is sixty- one feet. The kitchen windows were open and as the outbuilding is a mere shed, with cracks showing everywhere, | there should have been no difficulty in | hearing the shots, which the husband | protests he did not hear. | Rasinger's explanation was that he | thought the door had slammed, but his | hired boy, Everett Shepherd, who was a quarter of a mile away, heard the shots distinctly.
