Member of International Congress
Military Surgeons Lifts the Veil
From Off the Russian Gar
risons in the Far East.
of
St Louis, Oct. 12. The entire day's
session of the International Congress
of Military Surgeons was devoted to
the nresentaton of papers and ad
dresses. The first address was by
Major Lewis Livingston Seaman, Unit
ed S'tates attache, who has just re
turned from the scene of the Russo
Japanese war.
Major Seaman's paper gives high
praise to the Japanese -hospitals and
to tlie medical officers.
Major Seaman pointed out the small
percentage of deaths from wounds
among the Japanese, and said that the
loss from preventative disease in tho
conflict would be but a fraction of
1 per cent. This, too, be added, in a
country notoriously unsanitary.
In contrast to this condition of pre
paredness, Major Seaman described
the conditions which, he said, existed
in the Russiin service in Manchuria
prior to the outbreak of the war.
"Arriving trains," he declared, "that
should have been crowded with men
and munitions of war brought each a
full complement of tho demi-monde
and vorta. Wine, women and song
were certainly the undoing of Russia,
where a beauty and a bottle were the
highest ambition of its officers, from
general to corporal. Sodom and Go
morrah, the current synonyms of Port
Arthur and Vladivostok in the Orient,
were temples of virtue in comparison
to the debauchery, licentiousness and
'openly flanked vice practiced in these
unhappy cities.

Rumor That Port Arthur Fleet Had
Contemplated Flight, But Were

ing the Basin,
Chec Foo, Oct. 12 7 p. in. Japanese
who arrived here to-day from Port
Dal.iy report that additional heavy
guns are now dropping shells Into the
hnrhor of Port Arthur. One shell se
verely damaged the Russian I'lllle
shlp Rctvlzan.
The repulse from High Hill, the
Japanese say, was the only reverse
which the Japanese have suffered be
fore Port Arthur. On tho other hand,
tho Japanese have destroyed two re
doubts, which gave the Russians a
flanking fire from Rihilung mountain
against their assailants, and the Jap
anese remain in six other captured
fortifications south of Shulshlying,
which were mentioned In these dis
patches Sept. 23.
The Japanese consider that the
progress they have made is satisfac
tory, and believe that the capture of
the fortress, although slow, Is certain
to be accomplished.
Sortie Failed.
Shanghai, Oct. 12. A refugee from
Port Arthur who has arrived here says
that a sortie of the Russian fleet was
contemplated, but that It was frus-
rated by a Japanese bombardment
from the batteries overlooking the
east basin.
BOATS FOR THE JAPS.
Knocked Down Torpedo Boats on

Washington, Oct. 12. A report

knocked down torpedo boats which
were being shipped in twenty-throe
carloads over the Great Northern to
Seattle and partially wrecked near
Townsend, were built at the yards of
the Fore river shipbuilding Company,
Quincy, Mass., on the order of agents
of the Japanese government.
They were to have been shipped
from Seattle to Japan.
Just how badly they have been dam
aged Is not known.
KUROPATKIN AN ENIGMA.
English War Experts Fail to See What
He Did It For.
London, Oct. 13. The great battle
raging south of Mukden has revived to
the full public Interest In the Russo
Japanese war. Piecemeal reports
from both sides are discussed and
analyzed in the fullest detail in tho
belief that this wil prove to be the
greatest engagement of the campaign,
and news so far received Inclined mil
itary experts to the belief that Gen.
Kuropatkln is running tremendous
risks by his bold initiative.
There Is yet no confirmation that
Gen. Mistchenko's force Is cut off, and
the fact that Field Marshal Oyama's
report does not mention him Is re
garded here as pointing to his escape.
At the same time the dispatches do
not yet point to a success on tho Rus
sian side, and the motives underlying
Gen. Kuropatkin's decision to assume
the offensive are considered as diffi
cult to understand.

Fear Is Expressed In St. Petersburg
That the Russian Army May
Not be Able to Carry Out the
Big Operations Undt
taken.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 13, 3:i) a. ni.
No official news of tho esu,t oi to
day's battle south of Muk.lei is avail
able at thLs hour.
Geiurul Kuropatkln doubtless has
cominuncated bis regular report to
Emperor Nicholas at Tsarkoe Selo, but
the ilespiitch wus not sent back to the
general staff tonight. So tho lat
tH word from Russian sources Is
contained in the Associated Press de
spatch lrom Mukden. As is natural
the absence of official news is pessi
mistically Interpreted In many quar
ters, but the general staff, though re
ticent, counsel uu'.ienee, pointing out
that the offensive movement was
planned upon a large scale and has
not yet reched a stago where a de
cisive re-ult could have been attain
ed. Yentai May be a Blind.
The Iron tn I attack on the Yentai
mines developed a desperate battit
in which probably 100,000 are eu
gagd; but though the despatches so
lar deal almost exclusively with this
feature of the battle it Is pointed out
that there is much wider Held In
volved. A light on the Russian left
Hank has not yet developed and pos
sible here Gen. Kuropalkin intends
to deliver his main blow. What force
is pushing forward in this direction
behnd the screen containing tho col
umn at Shan Tin Tai Tze Is unknown,
but the appearance tonight of a Rus
sian column at Tsyanchlan 30 miles
.loutheast of Mukden striking at Field
Marshal Oyama's communication with
the Ynlu and the knowledge that an
ther column Is already across the
Tallse river gives evidence of the
'vide nature of the turning movement.
!t is possible that the attack on the
Yenlal mines may simply be intend
d to hold the main Japanese force
stationary and that the outcome o
the Yenlui fight may have little bear
ing on the general engagement.
Operations Too Large.
While It is now asserted that Gen.
Kuropatkln enjoys a considerable nu
merical superiority the main fear ex
iressed is that his superiority Is in
sufficient to enable ihlm to carry out
he big operations he has undertaken.
Amirehenslon Is caused by lh
l'okio despatch saying that Field
Marshal Oyama reports that ho Is
ainini: ground and has cut off a
tussian column between the Tallse
river. It I-- only natural, alter the ro
H'ated reverses already suffered that
Russians fully realize how much Gen.
Kitropatkln has stakd uikjii the a
