Tokio, Oct. 13.—It ii eemi-ofs
hcially announced that after
fierce fighting Tuesday and yes
terday in the neighborhood of
Yen Tai the Russians at nine
o’clock yielded to the
strenuous attack made by the
Japanese and began retiring
along the entire line The whole
Japanese army is pursuing them.
The Russians had 203,000 thous
and men and about 1,000 guns
engaged in the battle.^ The en
gagement was the fiercest that
has taken place since the war
opened and the Russian loss was
[)ktremely heavy. Oyama tele
graphed yesterday that the oper
ations were progressing favor
ably between Tai Tai and the Hun
river, and that the armies, center
and right, of the Japanese line,
had made substantial gains,
while the left w'as still striving
desperately to rout the Russians
out.
spect the battle is a desperate
one. The bravery, desperation
and bloodshed fur exceeds even
the battle of L'ao Yang. To
wards evening the Japanese fre
quently assumed the offensive.
The fight continues today. Up
to this time the battle has lasted
continuously for four days.
Che Foo, Oct. 18—Persons
who' have just arrived from Corea
say that the si'u ition there is of
the gravest kiud. Four tbous
and well mounted Cossacks are
riding in the north from Kiju to
Genson. Communications be
tween Seoul and Geusin have
been \interrupted. It is stated
that the railroad for many miles
has been destroyed. The Rus
sians are reported withiD seventy
miles of Ping Yang.
Steamers arriving at Ohinnam-
pho are warned not to go further.
Many vessels are already dis
charging their cargoes of rail
road material. The Russian raid
is being conducted on a scale un
precedented. All the houses and
food supplies on the line of
march are being destroyed.
The theatrical manager* of a
decade ago use to believe that
when a play had been estub'i-lied
in public favor Ibu' an/ kind of
a cast could be employed to ex
ploit it before the public, and for
til .t rea-on and uu other can a
greiu inSiiy.nf iheni ascribe their
ultima n f .il'ure. Not so with
tV. E. Rank-ville, mu ager of
“Uttmiiii Hm r s,'” which comes
to us on Monday next.
Mr. Naukevtlie has always
maintained that (lie best is none
too good for the public, and it by
aiiv possible ehauce he tan bet
Ur his companies, lie never fails
to do so. It is to this policy he
attributes the wonderful saccess
of "Human Hearts” with the
theatre going public.
