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.
