Genera] Kuroki to now endeavoring to cot off the entire Russian army from Ita base of operations at Mukden and has sent a large force to outflank them and cut the railway near that city. The battle of Uaoyang will probably rank as one of the giuut aangifmary battles of history. Five time* the Japanese hurled themselves against the Russian line, but each time they were repulsed at the point of the hayoneC It to estimated by the general staff that the Japanese urniles engaged number seventeen divisions of 15,000 men each. or. allowing for In efficients, about 240,000 men. Each division has thirty-six guns, and there are two Independent artillery brigade* of a hundred guns each, making a total of about 800 guna. The estimates range at from 600 to L000 guns per side General Kuropatkln. under pressure of a Japanese general advance, abandoned his position on the left hank ol the Taltae river, thus throwing the city of Liaoyaug open to the Japanese, who have entered and taken poMtesslon ol

It.

By withdrawing to this position the Buialan army baa avoided the danger of being divided by the river. General Kuroki's army croaaed In force to the right bank of the Taltae river, and It therefore became' oeceasaqr for the Russians to be In a position to repel a blow In that dlrectlon. Tbe opinion that the Russian casual ties In the recent fighting will reach *0,000 to confidently expected In high quarters.

A late Mukden report says that preparations for the evacuation of that city are proceeding. A dispatch from Slnmlntln says that General Kuropatkln * retreat has been cuf off. The Russian troops have advanced In stnmg’force to tbe southeast of Mukden as far as Neptng hill to oppose any possible attack In th* direction of their advance. A Chinese official who has arrived from Mukden says that the Russian troops are leaving for the north, that there are l&JWC men ten miles to the east of the city, that the officers and men have become dispirited and that much sickness prevails. Tbe Japanese have thrown a strong flanking column across the Taitse river at Bcnltzu, about thirty miles north east of Llaoyang. which to hurrying to the northeast and endeavoring to get in .’between the Russian army and Mukden. It to against this movement that Kuropatkln has dispatched Lieutenant General Renuenk&mpf with a strong Cossack division, which. It to believed, to already blocking the eastern highroad. Kuropatkln has fchree roads over which he to marching toward Mukden besides the double tracked railway. General Kuropatkln In a telegram to the general staff from north of Yen tal says the Japanese on Sunday engaged his rear guard south of YentaL the fight continuing until Monday. Kuropatkln estimates bis losses up to and Including Sept. 4 at IfljOOO. This to considered to be a very conservative figure. ’The loss to the Japanese probably will be doable this number owing to their position as attackers.
