Kuropat kln has been decisively whipped and severely punished. I Kuropatkln Caught Napping. The Russian commander was evi dently caught while making his dispo sitions with his forces scattered and he was beaten before he could recover.

One telegram from Llao Yang says that the Russians havo 200,000 men, with 1000 guns. The Japa nese force exceeds the number engaged at the battle of Llao Yang. Japs Rushing Victory.

The Center army captured two guns and eight ammunition Wagons at Sank walshlBhan this morning. What Prisoners Say. "According to statements mndo by prisoners, Gen. Kuropatkln, with three divisions, was In the rear of the force confronting our right army.

LONDON. Oct 13. A dispatch' from , Mukden dated today, says: "The bat tie south of this place continued throughout Wednesday, with ever- increasing fury.

Tide Favors Japan. x ; While containing no positive Infor matlon regarding specific results, to- : day's dispatches from both Russian 1 and Japanese sources seem to Indicate that the tide of the general engage ment now In progress between tho Hun and Taltse rivers, Is favorable to Marshal Oyama. A Toklo dispatch ' filed at -I o'clock this afternoon says L the latest reports from the front tell f I of continued Japanese successes. I Without Advices. , St. Petersburg confesses that no re- i jH ports of today's developments have been received, but admits that in the previous fighting "the Russians had not been entirely successful in defend- ing their positions. The atmosphere IH at the War ofllce," adds the dispatch. 'jH "is by no means cheerful." The lack ' jH of advices from tho Russian front Is regarded as significant. Anxiety at Legation. jH News of the battle between the Bus- , IH slans an'd Japaneso was eagerly await- ed hero throughout the day at the Ja- ' 'H panese Legation. Many Inquiries were ( iH made by British ofllpluls, but the Ja- IH panese authorities were even less in formed than the newspapers.
