IS.—Adrlce* fro® ToItro Hit 3' that In the re porta of the it rent battle which continue to arrive from the front the moat striking feature Is the terrible record of the Husslan dead. Before the severe fighting on Oct. 14 General Okn‘s army slone recovered and buried 2.000. making the total number of Russians buried by the Japanese 8.8S0. Applying the usual calculation and making reasonable allowance for the fighting of the 14tb and 15th. the Uuaalau losses will exceed 40,000. Fragmentary reports of Jnpatii casualties are couilug In. General Oku up to and including Oct. 14 lost 3.500 men. Ksilmnles of the totnl Japam losses are not possible, but they are timatec; at about 20.000. The latest advices from Tokyo are that the Itusslans left 4^VK) dead In front of General Kurokl's army alone. The Russian losses there are estimated at 20.000 men. Field Marshal Oyama estimates the Russian losses, killed ami wounded, at more than 30.000 men and the dead at 10.000. Forty-five hundred Russian dead, he reports, were left on the field after Friday's battle. Field Marshal Oyama'a triumphant troo|is have driven the Russians north to a line extending along the Bbakhs river. They are vigorously pressing the pursuit with their whole force. All the wounded are being carried to Harbin. It Is understood that the correspondents also have been ordered to Harbin, which Indicates that the retreat will not even stop at Tal pass. All hopes of the world heralded adranee to Port Arthur have been a ban doned. General Koropatkln personally took command of the Petroff regiment at Shakhe. It was in the midst of an awful war of man and elements, the Petroff regiment leading, that the Russians for the last time charged Ij into Bhakbe and took the town In the face of the hottest Japanese bombardment. The Russians ware finally driven out making fire tinea that Bhakbe bad changed lianas in the course of the battle. The Russians than retired to a new position north of Bhakbe. A Tokyo report says there is a strong appeal for peace In the appalling tragedy which is now under enactment In Manchuria. Both armies hare fought ferociously for a week, and desperate fighting still <ontlnues. The preliminary reports Indicate that about (Vi.oOO men of both aides have been either killed or wounded, the larger portion of them being Russians, since the armies of the two belligerents closed In combat. Even the Japanese, to whom the great victory la of paramount importance. seem to be Shocked by the slaughter of their enemies. A dispatch from the Russian army of the center via Mukden says that after ten days of the hantoat kind of fighting this section of the Russian army has fallen back on the Bhakbe river and U now bolding a poeitlon on the north side of that stream. The whlA commenced shortly after Oct 0, baa been ously ever akicc. In sa Informal talk which a correspondent had with General Kuropatkla In the field Just before the fighOng

A Tokyo report says that fteconHng to statements made by Russian prisoners. General Knropatkln waa ordered by Emperor Nicholas to mgke a stand it Mukden and to assume On aggressive as speedily as possible far onto to relieve the Port Arthgr gaslean. This seder, the prisoners say. reached Mofcdea on Bept 21, sad Qtnpral Kuiaprt kin in obedience to It began Us dlsas-

LateofBdal sdrlcea received from St I say that the

news from the front Is more reassuring from the Russian standpoint, the situation la still regarded as bring critical, but General Knropatkln Is apparently bolding the Japanese firmly on his center and right wings, even baring recrossed the Bhakbe river, and while there are rumors of an extsurive Japspsee flanking movement both on tha east and on the west there ls.no evidence that they are actaally occurring. General Knropatkln baa slightly advanced hls center.'reoccupylag Bhakbe south of tha Bhakbe river. Directly behind him at a distance of nine miles Bea tha Hun river, end serosa th« bridges spanning this stream the Rus slass must retire la esse they ret real on Mukden. General Kuropatkln must continue to firmly bold hls center end right flank In order to prevent the Jap aneee getting possession of the Hui river bridges. Thus be will cover withdrawal of bis apparently beater, west wing. General Bacharoff telegraphs to 8t Petersburg that the HumIiius have re captured Lonely Tree' hill, south Bhakbe. and captured eleven Japan* guns and one quick flrer. “The fighting did not resae until th« morning." General Bacharoff continues “The Japanese defended,the hill with great stubbornness and accepted a bay onet attack. In which many of them perished. Our troops fought valiantly The losses have not yet been ascertained. At the present moment. 8 o'clock this morning, a desultory can Dofuide Is proceeding along the whole of oar position. The troops are very tired, bat they are in splendid spirits. A Mukden report says that thifRua sjan forces have penetrated the Japa ness center and. it la reported, captured eleven or thirteen guns, and 150 prisoners east of the railway. At anotbei point daring the day the glhertan regi menu took twenty-four guns.
