ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 19—The despatch from a correspondent of ‘The Associated Press at Mukden filed this morning, saying that there was no fighting yesterday and no firing during the night, indicates that the| Japanese are retiring, as the light of fires was seen against the heavens, Possibly showing that they were burning their stores, The correspon- dent also reports that a resumption of the battle is probable so soon as the | \ i Toads permit, the Russians being everywhere in close touch with the Japanese ‘ RUSSIAN LINES EXTENDED. 5 The despatch from Gen, Sakharoff dated noon to-day confirms the pre- vious Mukden advices saying there was no fighting last night. The General reports that the Japanese are ntrating at Sinchinpu, but the most im-| Portant information is the faé that the Russian right is being extended westward, the centre of the right now facing Sinchinpu. This may have been necessary in order to protect Kuropatkin’s right, or, if the often- sive is, imminent, for the purpose of, In conjunction with an advance of the centre, crumpling up both Gen. Oku's flanks and driving him toward ), /Bhakhe River, Other signs of the offensive are noticed. There has been a slight forward movement of the left upon Bentsiaputze roads from Mukden and Fushun, Details of how a detachment of mounted Cossacks accomplished a dar- ing exploit last night, raiding south from Shakhe, actually penetrating the Japanese lines and dragging back two Japanese field guns, have not deen given out. ¢ WACK TO THE YVENTAI LINE, Other Russian correspondents mention a report that the Japanese are falling barx toward their Yentat line. One correspondent says it is per- sistently reported that three Japanese battalions are surrounded on a hill by Gen. Rennenkampff, and that they are momentarily expected to sur- render, Another correspondent reports that during the advance of the left early last week forty Japanese with five officers were surrounJed in a Chinese village, but only five of them surrendered, the remainder committing sui- velde. The village of Malatung is reported to have been destroyed by the fire ot o@ Russian mortar battery posted in the Shakhe Valley, JAPS SLAIN IN ASSAULT, Gen, Kuropath*n telegraphs the Emperor under the date of Oct. 18: ‘“During the night the Japanese attacked our advanced positions at Lone “Tree Hilt, but they were repulsed. No reports have been received of any ‘other engagements. Everything was quiet at all our positions up to 10 ‘o'clock this morning.

The river running ut its foot Increased the difficulty of the task, but it was scaled and carried successfully against the opposition of a Japanese division, 14,000 men, with many guns. The Russian losees were terrible, The fight- ing on she erest of the hills was altogether with cold steel. The Russian Gificers, with swords aloft, leading the scaling column, were literally lifted in the air by the Japaner? bayonets, and the Japanese then bayonoted the| first of the Ruseian soldtere who piled in the trenches, All the dead in tho trenches were vayoreted.” | SLAUGHTER WORSE THAN PLEVNA. r Nemirovich Danchenko, the well-known Rus i war correspondent, telegraphs this doscfiption of the battle: “The sun was already declining when Kuropatkin gave the order to storm.
