A despatch from Mukden says The be battle has practically worn itself out, leavin the two armies facing cach other, with the Sha River as the dividing line. On the left the Russians are in a good position on a high hill over- looking the Sha River, which they have held since Oct. 16th, despite an almost continuous bombardinent and frequent infantry attacks On the right the Russians are us- ing mortars in an endeavor to dis- lodge the Japancse from a small hill in the last plain. Owing to the floods, it would be necessary to u pontoons in crossing the Sha River, which has not been bridged.
