Sodden Ground Is R . slraining Fighting - Spiritof Soldiers, 9 i ST. PETERSBURG, Oct The rival armies of Russia and Japan, | entrenched a short distance from each other south of the Shakhe river, are forced to continued inactivity until the | fine weather now prevailing dries the | sodden ground and the tired warriors are sufficiently rested to resume opera- tions. A dispatch from Mukden to the Asso- ciated Press reports that the Russians yesterday confined themselves to a | bombardment of Shakhe Station and the adjoining village of Lamatung, the apanese feebly responding. This news shows that Shakhe Station is not held by the Russians. Russian correspondents report that some regiments of the Fifth Siberian Corps have been engaged in slight skirmishes on the advance line the past few days. a. m.— berian Corps are the only corps hitherto unmentioned in reports of the fighting on October 19 shows that ‘General Kuropatkin has sent the reserves to the trenches, giving other much tried corps a thorough rest. Meanwhile the Cos- sacks are raiding the Japanese lines. It developes that after the Lone Tree Hill rout the Japanese were unable to remove a number of cannon in addition mained midway between the Russian and the Japanese trenches. As they lay, these guns were so exposed to fire from both sides that it was impossible for either side to get them during day- light and repeated attempts have been made by both to secure the guns at dark. Up to the present Cossacks have | got three of the cannon. The dexterity of the Cossacks in this sort of work was repeatedly {llustrated during the Russian army maneuvres. On -one oe- casion they abstracted the artillery harness, disabling all the batteries of their rival combatants. L TRIBUTES TO RUSSIANS. | Correspondent Gives Details of Fight on the Shakhe. LONDON, Oct. 22.—The.Standard’s Yentai correspondent, telegraphing on October 15, describes in detail the final stages of the Shakhe River battle, and incidentally refers to the danger which temporarily threatened Field Marshal Oyama’s right near Bensihu, where the Russians, in overwhelming force, near- Iy succeeded in turning the Japanese right and isolating the men sent to protect Oyama’s right wing. He says it was the indomitable courage and en- ergy of the Japanese infantry that saved the situation. Detailing the struggle of October 13, south of the Shakhe River, the corre- spondent pays a tribute to the desper- ate courage of the Russians, who de- fended their positions with the great- est gallantry. The Japanese infantry, he says, again had the task of carrying a formidable position by supreme effort and self-sacrifice. The slope up which they crept was swept by a storm of bullets. The thin, dark line wavered under the blast, and broke and scat- tered back down the hill, but a handful of heroes rallied and rushed headlong up the slope, halted, re-formed "and dashed on again, their niumbers being lessened with every foot they advanced, and once again they were swept back in confusion down the hillside. But they had shown the way to others. (Another company pushed forward with its left well thrown back. Again vol- leys crashed out, but this time un- availingly against the desperate head- long rush, and the indomitable little men gained the summit. The Russians rose to -their feet, the ranks closed and rifle and bayonet were at work In one wild melee, It was only for a moment and, shaken by the courage of the Japanese, the Russians broke and fled to their com- rades below, already in retreat. The assault and defense alike were a bril- | liant feat of arms in which the gal- fantry of the Russians was surpassed only by the devoted courage of the Japanese infantry. The Russians fell back to a range of low hills bordering the Shakhe River, whence on the 14th, the artillery fail- ing to dislodge them, the Japanese drove them in the afternoon by a magnificent spectacle of disciplined war involving terrible carnage, pursuing them down to the very banks of the Shakhe River. < P The same correspondent, under date of October 17, says: “General Kuropatkin dppéars to be preparing to hold the plain in front of Mukden. He is concentrating troops and strengthening his defense works in three lines, the outer along the Shakhe River, the second along the Hun River and the innermost close to Mukden.” ——ps 'WANTS OUR SYMPATHY.

The greater significance of an attempt to revive waning American sympathy for Japan is attributed to his coming. The gallant and determined conduct of the Russian forces in Manchuria has caused the traditional friendship for Russia to reassert itself and pub- lic feeling is now estimated as being almost perfectly neutral. Japan has keenly felt the subsidence of enthusiasm. All indications strongly point to a herolc effort to revive it by bringing Prince Fushimi to the United States. He will arrive in San Fran- cisco on November 11 Togoro Takahira, the Japanese Min- ister here, originally planned to meet him at San Francisco, but now has di- rected Eki Hioki, first secretary of the legation, to do so. The itinerary of the Prince s being arranged with great care, but nothing more concerning it is obtainable at the legation than that he will proceed to Bt. Louis, will come to Washington and will visit most of the large cities of the country. g TR SHELL A VILLAGE. MUKDEN, Oct. 21, 5:20 a.' m.—The Russians on Thursday opened an ar- tillery fire on Shakhe station, where there seemed to be a Japanese outpost watching the Russian movements. The guns were then trained on the village of Lamatung, a little east of the sta- tion. The Japanese replied languid- ly. The, weather to-day is fine and sunny, with a cold, biting wind.

TRADE REPORTS |Russian Studen - Forhidden s May Wear Colors on Caps Sl I s ING BAN AGAL RUSSIAN MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR WHOSE S IR P PR er § RECENT ORDER REMOV- NST COLORS FOR STUDENTS' CAPS 1S CONSIDERED AS FURTHER EVIDENCE OF THE CONCILIATORY POLICY OF RUSSIA. S8T. PETERSBURG, Oct. 21, 3:32 p. m.—Permission has been accorded to the students of Dorpat (Livonia) Uni- versity to resume wearing caps of the colors which were forbidden to such corporations under Alexander III, in pursuance of the policy of the Russifi- cation of the Baltic provinces. This step Is considéred to constitute an- other evidence of thé conciliatory pol- icy of the whole Government, which has marked the inauguration of the regime of Prince Sviatopolk-Mirski, Min{ster of the Interlor. Dispatches from Dorpat say the announcement was greeted with the greatest rejoicing among the students. Prince Mirsky, following out the promises he made upon assuming the Ministry of the Interior regarding the imperial manifesto of 1903, has invited ARG eration of all classes, zemstvos, in this important work, one | of the purposes of which is to gecure additional privileges for the peasants, especially with the view to giving them | an opportunity of divorcing themselves from the village communes. M. von | Plehwe treated this portion of the | manifesto as a dead letter, imposing | the duty of choosing representatives upon the provincial Governors, who | were practically his own appointees, or | at least always under his immediate control.

On arriving at the pier the Unadilla was made fast alongside the south end of the big wharf. The marines were sent ashore and formed in company front with the band at the extreme right. 5 A TIRESOME WAIT. Then followed a tiresome wait, dur- ing which frequent efforts were made, with some success, to locate the posi- tion of the on-coming train and gauge the time’ of its arrival at the depot. A Southern Pacific official announced at 10:15 o'clock that the train was at the Sixteenth-street station and would soon be in. A large delegation of Mex- fcan citizens had gathered at the de- pot and there was immediately a scur- rying among them for a point of van- tage from which to have a look at the man whom they have learned to ad- mire. Vice President Corral looked tired, but pleased, when he stepped fromn his private car into the open air. Before leaving the car he had been formally introduced to the Mayor, Colonel Pippy and Colonel Beck. As It was getting late, no time was spent on other than an exchange of simple formalities. Benor Corral's three children, with Mr, and Mrs. Valasco of this city and ‘W. Loiza, had met the visitors at Val- lejo Junction. They started from the special train for the ferry, but finally all of the ladies of the train party decided to cross the bay on the Una- dilla. < b The marine guard was drawn up at attention when Senor Corral and Gen- eral Luis Torres, chief of the northern military zone of Mexico, passed toward the tug’s gangway. They were fol- lowed by Admiral McCalia, Senor May- er Cuellar, aid to the Vice President, Colonel Pippy and Colonel Beck. Senor G. Reyes, In charge of the Vice Presi- dential party, was with the ladies, as FREE —— FREE — FREE ——— WITH ——— SUNDAY CALL —— WANT ADS. - Your Choice of Two Premiums, Either a ~—LIGHTNING BREAD and— CAKE KNIFZ —— The | — were also a number of gentlemen who assisted Consul Romero to care for the Buests. Senor Corral seemed to enjoy the trip across the bay. He asked frequent questions about the harbor and pointed | out places of interest that were by no means new to him, for he visited San Francisco about two years ago, before he was elected to the office he now holds. When passing the battleship Ohio Senor Corral noticed that the searchlight of the ship was turned toward the Mexican colors at the fore- top and he gave vent to an expression of gratitude and said nice things about the good feeling that now exists be- tween this country and his. WON'T TALK POLITICS. * The Vice President did not care to speak of political affairs in his coun- try or go into details of the plans of the administration. He excused him- self from being interviewed at length on any very serious subject, saying that his long trip had worn him out and he was not prepared to talk at length. He was highly grateful to the people of San Francisco and 'Callfornia for the reception they had accorded him and wished to express his sincere thanks to the citizens of the city and to the army and navy officers for cour- tesies extended. When the tug came alongside the army transport dock carriages were at hand to convey the visitors to the | St. Francis Hotel. Three battalions of | coast artillerymen were there also to | act as escorts with the Third Artillery Band and a mounted patrol of police. | The procession proceedsd up Market | street to Powell and thence to the St. Francis. The Vice President’s secretary reg- istered the following names as those ‘who were of the party: Senor Ramon | Ccrral and wife, General Luis E.

To-night a banquet at the St. Fran- cis ‘will be tendered the Vice Presi- dent and party by the citizens’' com- mittee. The visitors will remain in San Francisco one week. —_———— Baldwin Planos Get Two Grand Prizes (Special Dispatch to The Call.) ST.
