HOSTILITIES, BUT WOULD NOT DECLINE CHALLENGE.
MUKDEN, Wednesday, Sept 7.—
t News of a fight at some point between
Shakhe (11 miles northwest of Liao
Yang) and Mukden, 1s hourly expected.
Among the reports current here is one
to the effect that General Kuroki has
been killed and that two Japanese
generals have been made prisoners;
hut, no one seems to know where the
report originated and no confirmation
is obtainable.
Kuropatkin Would Fight.
MUKDEN, Sept. 7. (Delayed In
transmission.)—The fighting has ceas
ed and the Russian transport and army
ore moving without interruption. There
is much uncertainty concerning the
movements and purposes of the Jap
anese. It is impossible to say definite
ly yet whether there will be another
battle here or further north. General
Kuropatkin evidently is not seeking to
renew the battle but if challenged he
will not decline an engagement.
Russians Hold Mukden.
BERLIN, Se^t. 8.—Col. Gaedke, war
correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt,
telegraphs that Mukden was still held
by the Russians this morning.
Japanese Retreated.

chines© who left Port Arthur on Mon
day arrived here today. They report
that severe fighting occurred Septem
ber 3. The Japanese attacked certain
positions on the East and West flanks
and the Russians allowed them to ap
proach within a short distance, when
they opened a heavy fire and compelled
the Japanese to retreat after three
hours’ fighting. An Incident of tho
engagement was a clash between Jap
nnese and Russian regiments of cav
airy, resulting in the retreat of the
former.

treat, relieved the public anxiety and
put an end to the many alarming re
ports which had been current here.
From the general’s report it seems evi
dent that Kuropatkin is tentatively
preparing to meet the Japanese again
should Field Marshal Oyama continue
to press northward. Nothing more im
portant than rear guard actions marked
the march to Mukden. The region south
of that city is now clear of Russians.
It is evident, however, that Kuropatkin
taking precaution to prevent the
Japanese from creeping around his
flanks. The Japanese are reported to
be moving up about thirty miles on
either side of the railroad with the
view to surrounding Mukden.
Rains Hinder Operations.
MUKDEN. Sept. 8.—The terrible
nlns hinder the movements of both
miles, but there is an Interesting
movement towards Tiellng, north of
Mukden.
CHE FOO, Sept. 8. 4 p. m.—Appar
ently well Informed Japanese who +
reached Che Foo from Port Arthur
today report that the Japanese army
before Port Arthur is preparing to make
another assault on the fortress.
Japanese agents here are sending to
Port Dalny seventy thousand gunny-
sacks and are endeavoring to secure
sixty thousand more. It is reported
that these sacks are to be filled with
sand and used to fill up portions of the
moat protecting the Russians’ right
flank.
The Chinese report that the Russians
are paying fifty cents each for unex
ploded shells manufactured for usi
during the Chinese-Japanese war. The
persistency of this report during the
past two weeks entitles It to consider
atlon. as Indicating a shortage of largo
ammunition nt Port Arthur.
Dispatch From 'Patkln.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 8.—A dis
patch from Gen. Kuropatkin, timed
6:30 yesterday evening, was received
today. He reported that Gen. Kuroki’s
army was about twenty-seven miles
eastward of tho railroad and that Gen.
Oku’s army was twenty miles west of
the railroad. The general staff ex
pects that a big battle will be fought.
Gen. Kuropatkin reports that he did
not lose a gun during the retreat. The
best Information of the war office in
dicates that Gen. Kuropatkin lost
about 17,000 men during the ten days’
battle at Liao Yang.
Heard Firing at Sea.
WEI-HAI-WEI. Sept. 8.—Firing at
. pea was heard here last night and boats
outside the harbor claim they saw
flashes distinctly. Vessels which went
out from hero to investigate tho firing
were unable to ascertain whether the
Japanese were firing upon Russian
ships which had escaped from Port
Arthur or upon Junks. The activity
of the Japanese in catching Junks
makes the latter supposition the more
probable. Eighteen Junks have been
captured by the Japanese during tho
last few days. A British ship reports
that seven ships were engaged In the
cannonade nnd that they steamed
aw*ay and disappeared ujxm the ap
pearance of the British vessels.
Another Trouble for Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 0. 2:30
n. m.—Persistent reports are Jn circu
lation of serious antl-JewIsh disturb
ances In several of the governments of
southwest Russia, but up to this hour
no particulars are obtainable.
The Fighting at Liao Yang.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 8.—A Rus
sian correspondent of the Associated
Pyess in a graphic description of the
fighting nt Liao Yang says:
Only the Russian soldiers’ tradition-
splendid qualities enabled them to
support the terrible conditions, of
which the lack of sleep was the most
unbearable. Tho .Japanese availed
themselves to the utmost of rain and
darkness and did not cease fighting,
their night attacks testing Russian en
durance severely. The Japanese suffer
ed terribly but made light of their
losses. They continually drafted fresh
reserves Into the ranks, replacing the
worn out men. Indeed, the numerical
superiority of the Japanese Is n^tound-
Ing and incomprehensible, for after los
ing enough men at Port Arthur nnd
elsewhere to form a perfect army, their
effective strength appears only to In
crease nnd they still are concentrating
fresh bodies of troops on the Liao river.
“The battle field was A perfect Infer
no. Gen. Stakelberg was wounded, but,
despising death, he remained Immova
ble at his post throughout the day, re
gardless of the rain of shot around him.
Several officers of his staff were killed
or wounded. In the evening Gen. Stak
elberg notified Gen. Kuropatkin thnt
he could hold the position or take the
offensive If necessary.
Among the incidets of the day was
the slaughter of two Jnpancso bat
talions * which were pursued through
the Chines corn and grass to Salt
and surounded by the Russians. They
resolutely refused to accept quarter,
preferring death. In onother part of
the field the Japanese shelled and cap
tured by assault one of the Russian
trenches, only to find too late that it
had been abandoned by the Russians
nnd occupied by their comrades. They
fell upon the prostrate bodies and
flooded them with tears. In one case
a party of Japanese found a body of
their men retiring In disorder and
drove them back to the field at the
point of swords.
“The Russians' frontier guards died
at their posts refusing to surrender. It
was tho anniversary of the creation of
their regiment, which they had cele
hrated tho previous night. They lost
a large portion of their officers,
many points the combatants stoned
each other.”
Of late tho Russians have learned to
make their batteries more effective and
thus have gained a sensible advantage
over the Japanese. The pits which the
Russians had dug in the Chinese corn
and grass were filled with Japanese
corpses which were trodden over by
their comrades. The ground was so
thickly strewn with bodies in one fight
that the Japanese raised a white flag
and sought permission to bury their
dead, but this was refused, and the air
became polluted with the stench.
“The Russian evacuation of the forta
and entrenchments was carried out
without loss. The troops crossed the
river on pontoon and railway bridges
in perfect order and safety, burning the
bridges behind them.
“Uao Yang la enveloped In flames
and clouds of smoke from the confla
gration are visible as far as Yental. The
country aide is swarming with Chtneso
fugitives.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 9, 2:15 a.
m.—Beside the formation of two fresh
army corps as the first answer to the
Japanese success nt Lino Yang, the
Russian army at the front will be re
organized. probably in the form of two
armies in command of Gen. Llnevltch
and Gen. Baron Kaulbara, respectively,
with Gen. Kuropatkin as commander-
in-chief. Gen. Kaulbars will go out
with tho two army corps now organiz
ing in the governments of Kazan,
Odessa, Vllna and Kleff. Oen. Line-
Itch has been ordered by telegrnph
from Vladivostok to Mukden. This de
cision Is duo in part, doubtless, to tho
growing unwleldlness of the big force
under Gen. Kuropatkin’* command and
which will be largely Increased by con
stant reinforcements.
General Kuropatkin heretofore hns
handled every detail of the vnst or
ganization. The work is too much for
man and he is now almost broken
n under the strain. It Ifjjmown.
that the erppcror is personally one of
Kuropntkln’s strongest supporters, nnd
it is thought tho general will In nil
probability retain chief command of
the two nrmtes.
Kuropatkin, however, has been se
riously criticised by some of the em
peror's close military ndvlsers, and it
la possible that he may oventually bo
superseded.

CHE FOO, Sept. 9. 1:30 a. m.—A
Japanese column, numbering approxi
mately 700 men, while marching along
at night on a road in the valley be
tween Long Hill and Division Hill met
a frightful disaster through the explo
sion of an electric land mine Septem
ber 1. The mine was carefully laid
by the Russians three weeks ngo. It
covered nearly a mile of available
marching apace. Tho explosive was
placed at the bottom. Rocks were
placed next, and on top of these clay
was packed so carefully that the
ground gave the Impression of not hav
lng been disturbed.
The indications of Japanese activity
in this vicinity put the Russians on
guard. Near midnight tho outpost
rushed in nnd reported that tho Jap
anese were approaching. Tho Rus
sians withheld their fire for somo time.
Suddenly they threw a searchlight up
tho valley. The Japanese opened ’
a rifle fire. The Russians waited un
til apparently the whole column was In
the danger zone, then tho mine
exploded. .The force of the explosion

commander of the garrison of Korsa
kovsk on the visit of Japanese vessels
to that place Tuesday, as follows:
“At 6 a. m. Tuesday the amoke of
steamers was observed at sea and the
troops were prepared for action. Two
Japanese transports of 6,000 tons each
anchored eight versts out and two
launches were lowered and proceeded
to the Novik. At 10.45 the order was
given to Are volleys at the Japanere on
Y)oard the Novik and In the launches.
This firing was so successful that the
deck of the Novik was cleared and the
launches returned to the transports.
The er.emy returned the Russian fire,
but no damage was done. At 12:45 p. m.
the transports put to sea. The comman
