JAP'S POSTS BEING' DRIVEN IN
General Staff Believes That Russian
Commander Has Found a Place
That Splits Easily and la
Pounding In the Wedge.
St. etersliurg, Oct. 1(1. A battle
upon tho fate of which this year3'
campaign In Manchuria dopciuU.
seems only a few days ahead. Ail
vices from the front are meagre. All
that is po ltively known officially in
that Gen. Kuropatkin has cast the die
at last, about faced his army and is
marching resolutely against the en
emy as if revolved to do or die.
According to unofficial reports Field
Marshal Oyatna at tho first sign of
Gen. Xuropatkln'g taking the offen
sive began drawing in his line anil
concentrating upon f tided positions
nortlh of Lao Yang. According to
the latest reports which are contained
in a dispatch to the Associated Pi-ess
from Mukden dated at C o'clock to
night the Japanese outposts are being
driven in all along the line.
The strategy of the forward move
ment will be concealed as wore the
preparations for the advance, so that
all surmises as to where Gen. Kuro
patkin intends to strike aro mere
guess work. It is not clear whether
Gen. Kuropatkin contemplates a blow
on the left, center or right of the Jap
anese army, but the fact that stress
is laid upon the capture of Rnntsia.

Found a Weak Spot.
Little Unlit has been thrown upon
tho considerations which led Gen.
Kuropatkin suddenly to assume the
offensive, but no word is heard at
tho war office intimating that, the
course savor-- of rashness. Officers
of the general staff while not under
estimating tho heavy task nnd severe
sacrifices that are involved in as
suming the offensive, never! holes" ex
press absolute confidence that. Gen.
Kuropatkin has found a weak point
in the Japanese armor. The ndvnneo
is attributed by minv to a realiza

making good their loses al Man

BUSY SENDING OUT WAR NEWS
Heavy Work Yet Ahead, and Victory
Will Only Be Certain When Rus
sian Troops Retake City
of Liao Yang,
Mukden, Oct. 10. 0 p. m. At last
tlie correspondents arc permitted to
telegraph the news that the Russian
army la moving upon the Japanese.
They have wailed a long time for this
moment the turning point In the cam
paign. Tho advance actually begun
November C, and the preparations
were enveloped In the greatest secrecy.
Last night a correspondent of the
Associated Press teicgrnphed the first
i.ews that the forward inarch had be
gun auspiciously for tho Russians, tho
Japanese having lost a most Important
fortified point, llentslapul.e, the llen-
suhu roads and fho forts on the Taitse
river, and having exposed their right
flank.
This morning came the news that
tho Japanese were being driven back
along the wholo front. But these ire
m:y advance guard successes. The
heavy work is still ahead, and a Rus-
i-tory will imly be certain when
the Russians re-enter Llao Yang. It
is necessary to study the Japanese
dispositions telegraphed last night In
order to appreciate General Kuropat
kln's task.
The Japanese armies are prepared
to meet the Russians, and tlie ad
vanco of the latter is expected to do
velop quickly. Tho decisive moment
of the campaign is close at. hand.
Officially Confirmed.
SI. Petersburg, Oct. 10. The capture
of Pcntsiaputze by tho Russians, a
place which was strongly fortified,
nnd where, it was reported, General
Kuropatkin commanded in person, Is
officially confl icd. The fighting,
however, was not severe, the Japanese
retiring on finding themselves out
flanked. The Russian' losses wire
only 25 killed and wounded, including
nn officer.
A high officer of the general staff
informed the Associated Press today
that General Kuropatkin -Js prepared
to advance with great care, but when
the main collision will occur will de
pend on circumstances, the movements
of ffeat bodies of men being slow.
Heavy fighting is hardly likely before a
week at the earliest.
Oyama Will Fortify.
It is evident that Field Marshal
Cyama, aware that Kuropatkin is pro
paring to strike. Instead or extending
himself for the big flanking movement
east so much talked of. has recognized
the necessity of meeting I lie Russi'i l
advance by fortlfy'ng ty. positions
i orth of Liao Yang.
