Latest War News.
Tokio, Oct. 12.-A batch of reports
covering the lighting of Oct. 10, pub
lished this evening, records serious
coudicts at various points along the
Japanese front. There was a desper
at? struggle in the neighborhood of
Kensihu, where the Russians crossed
the Taitso river and where the Jap
anese endeavored to entrap the inva
ders
The Hsien Chuang garrison vigor
ously attacked and repulsed the Rus
sians, possibly relieving the pressure
on the Japanese lino of communica
tion.
Tokio, Oct. 151-An extended report
received from the headquarters of the
Manchurian armies, a brief summary
of which is published this afternoon,
indicates that tho Japanese were gen
erally successful in the fighting of yes
terday and that all three of the Japa
nese armies gained decided advan
tages.
The operations designed to isolate
and surround the Russians at Rensibu
are progressing favorably.
The numbers engaged in the strug
Ele exceed the forces which fought at
lao Yang,
In some places the fighting surpassed
in desperation anything shown since
tuc war began.
The losses are not indicated, but
they unquestionably are heavy.
The victory of the Japanese let army
to-day waa a deoisivo one. The Rus
sians fought bravely and several times
attempted counter attacks. The Jap
anese repulsed them every time and
continued their steady advance. The
left wing of the lett army threatened
to envelop the Russian right, compell
ing the Russians to retreat. The Jap
anese artillery, including the batteries
captured from the Russians, did their
usual splendid work in shelling the
trenches and the retreating Russsians.
Mukden, Oct. 14.-The fighting has
raged today with the carno bitterness
as on the previous days of the engage
ment and the result-is still in the bal
ance. The losses on both sides are
enormous, that el the Russians being
15,000. Wounded soldiers are being
brought in from all directions. The
roads are crowded with long trains of
wagons, baggage and transport wag
ons, as well as ambulances, being press
ed into service, even Chinese two
wheeled cars filling the mandate of
the military. Men afoot are limping,
uaing their guns as crutches, the less
covertly wounded supporting their
comrades after a first aid dressing on
the firing line. Even acrosB the fields
you meet them, taking the shortest and
straightest road for help and shelter.
It is the most pitiful feature of the
bloody drama oeing enacted at the
front, when, stiffening with wounds,
pain racked bodies sink to the road
side after the support of the danger
and glory of the active fight have been
withdrawn.
Tokio. Oot. 15.-AB a result of the
bloody battle of October 14 the Rus
sians left 2,000 dead on the field which
they lost. Field Marshal Oy ama
estimates the Kues i an losses at over
30,000.
The fighting continued all along the
entire line to-day and the end is not
near.
It seems to be impossible for the
RusaianB to rally, and they probably
will he pressed hack across the Hun
river.
Tokio, Oct. 16.-In the reports of
the great battle which continue to
arrive from the front the most strik
ing feature is the terrible record of the
Russian dead. Before the severe fight
ing on October 14, Gen. Oku'a army
alone recovered and buried 2,000, mak
ing the total number of Russians buried
by the Japanese, with Nodzu'a army
still to hear fi om, 6,500. Applying the
usual calculation and making reason
able allowance for the fighting of the
14th and 15th the Russian losses will
exceed 40,000.
Fragmentary reports of Japanese
casualties are coming in. Gen. Oku,
up to and including October 14tli, lost
8,500 men. Estimates of the total
Japanese losses are not possible, but
they are small in comparison with the
frightful losses of the Russians.
