m i Gen. Nogi's Port Arthur Veterans Almost at the Walls of Mukden. TERniFIC FICrHTING. The St. Petersburg correspondent of The London Timus lablps;â€" "The latest news from the soat of war in- dicates that G^'ueral Kouropatkius right has been rolled up and that his army is preparing to retreat, if it has not already withdrawn north- ward, after sustaining an<i inflicting terrilic losses, of which the total to both .sides is estiuiiited at 100,000 men. It is feared that the Russians have abandonLtl their heavy guns on the Shaho. Reineiuljcring tlie mas- terly retreat from l.iaoyang, when General Kouropatkins 'ell, though rolletl up, yet .scrcene'J the orderly retirement of the whole army, one may doubt if the present reVL>rso wiU assume the proportions of a disaster. PUISONERS TAKKN. A heavy engagement has been in progress for several days on the Rus- sian west flank. The divisions have fought tineeasingly for six days, un- til compi'llefl by the enveloping I movement to withdraw north, leav- ing the Japanese masters of the whole H;mho south of Sukhuiahu, which is fourteen miles below Muk- den. The Russian right, which for- merly s'tretched southwest to Chang- tan, is now extending north to Suk- hudiapu and guarding the line of the fsa.vs retreat against desperate assaults. At Sinmintin a force of .Japanese is pre.ss-ing the centre. Tlicrc are per- sistent reports here that they have stormed Shahaupu ainl taken man.y thousand [)ri .'corners. KUSH OP J'\rANESR. On the other hand, the Russian left has withstood all the attacks. Thf first intimation of the imm:n- enct^ of uccisive events on thi- Shaho wa."5 reported in the loss of the hcig-hts of lOrtakan. which arc only a couple of niilft tast of Sachetun, until recently General Kuropatkin's h'oadquart^^rs. The Russian corrt^ spondents express the greatest wan- der at the irresistible, frcniZied rush- es of the Japanese in'antry. Rus- sian critics are sutprised at the boldness and skill of tl-e Japanese strategy in timing the onslaught to a suitable .season, when winter w.is over, but the rivers v;i^ca still ice- bound. There is the greatest sur- prise at the sudden development of operations in the Lau Valley, where the Itussian cavalry were recen'lv so prominent. Uneasim^s prevails for General Kuropat!<in"s coutmimica- tions. on the most reliable telegrams, is that Gen. Ivouropatkin is still occu- pying with the greater portion of his troops his original positions, and that thus fur he has shown no sign oi falling back across the Hun River. The Hussians are clearly defending their ccnti-e with traditional stub- bornness, and they still hold the famous Putiloff Hill, despite the pounding of the terrible Howitzers from Port Arthur. N'overthelcas the i danger to the Russian flanks is not lost sight of. It is remarked that the Japanese are adopting tactics that the Briti.sh often had to oppose in their conflicts with the Zulus in South Africa, who advanced in the form of a crescent ^^ hen they at- tempted to envelope their enemy. The danger to the Kussians is, of course, lest the horns of the crescent imeet either at Mukden or between Mukden and Tieling. Doubtless the Japanese have achieved considerable success on the wings, but military- experts here do not yet .see sufficient ground for the inevitable, over- whelming debacle predicted in anti- Russian (]uarters. WILL be: forced TO rti;treat. A despatch from St. Petersburg BLOODY KIGHTING. A despatch from Tokio says: Field Mnr.shal Oyaina is ron*^ inning his great drives around both flanks of the Russian army. His front is !>ow a huge bow, the base on the Shakhe River, the rig+it arm reaching a point cast of Fu.shun and the left arm extending to a po'nt west of Muktlen. (!en. Kurrv'iatkin is striv- ing <iesperately to check the Japan- ese advances, contesting the flank encroai'hnn-nts and hammering the Japanese centre. The Japam-se are making hvavy gains cf ground west of the railway and have raptured great quantities of stores and other spoils. There has already been bloody fighting and heavy lo.sses, and this will be v.-istty increased when the masses of infantry meet. RETREAT CUT OFF? despatch from Tokio says:- In r\ long despatch from Gen Kouropatkin, which was received here on Thursda.v, the Commander- in-Chief of the army in Manchuria gives details of various attacks b.v the Japanese the past few days, and a Mukden despatch received at mid- night indicates a continuation of the artillery duel, but neither re- port throws any light upon the runi- c-red intention of l^en. Kouropatkin to withdraw northward, which has been the gos.'sip of St. Petersburg for the last two days. A special de- si'atch received Thursday aight con- cludes with this aigniiicant .sentence: "Within two weeks you may expect great events." The Siljerian Rail:'oart is a! out to have a further burden imposed upon it. namely, th.it of feeding the resident con-combata.it papulation. The stocks oi provision.s in Irkutsk and other towns in Siberia were not as large as usual at the beginning of the winter, and aie now running low. The Government has been informed that provision's niu.M be imported b.v the railroad or towns will be face to face with famine within a fort- night. This will necessitate soiiie delay in the forwarding of military .supplies, which are sorely neetled at the present moment. The position of Gen Konropatkiii's army is logartted as beint; mere or less critical. The real turning move- ment which Gen. Kuroki is operat- ing in the mountains 40 miles ea.st- ward of XTukden seems to be making progress. and at *l\s same time Field Marshal Oyama Is also rolling back the liu.'-sian !eft while pound- ing away at the Ru.ssian centre with heavy high-power guns. Poutiloii and Novgorod Hills have he^-n sub- jected to a continvious thvce-ciay bombardment followed b.v an infan- try attack, the main Itussian lines being forced to retire two miles to their shelter trenches .Soine of the Russian newspaper eo'Tcsp<indents anticipate an attempt to lake the hills by storm. no matter what the lesult of the re- mainder of the action, the Japanes<! have again been too slow, and that i Kouropatkin has made sure of his line of retreat. Except the moral ef- fect of another i-etirement the War Office officials declare that the aban- donment of the present winter quar- Iters eliminates a great danger to the health of the army so soon as the warm weather sets in. JAPS PRF^SS FORWARD. A despatch from Tokio says: Ad- vices from the headquarters of the Japanese armies in ifanchuria show that the Japanese activity on the extreme right continues. That wing is pressing forward and is dislodging the Russians. A despatch from headquarters says: â€" "Our forces in the Singking (Ven- dcn) direction, after occupying TsinghochLng (Tsiuket'hen) is now- pursuing the enemy r.oithward. We captured largo quantities of provis- ions at Tsiughocheng. "Our force at Ilanshu is gradually dislodging the enemy from hi.s posi- tion 1.3 miles north-east of licntzia- putze and from another position sev- en miles north-west. The lirst posi- tion is four miles west of the second. Our force has pre.ssed the enemy northward oi the .Sha River and has occupied .Suiuaupaet/.u, Lia- oehinhutim. and Suidiupoattz. three miles north cf Waito Mountain.

A despatch from Ru.ssian Army Head.iuarters. IIu:in ilountain, says: After an all-night battle, the Russian I'orces which seized the rail- road bridge across the -Sha River retired, after having destroyed the Japanese fortiiications at the fur- ther end of the bridge, and thrown the Japanese forces tiiero into con- sternation. The Japanese losses Were heavy. The attack on the bridge began at 8 o'clock Tuesda.v evening. Under cover of a heavy bombardment by lield, siege and mortar batteries, Russian chasseurs ua.shed forward, .ind crossing the bridge, which was illuminated by the Japanese seaich- lights, drove back tlio defenders and occupied the further end of the bridgi-. There the chasseurs thiew up hastv entrenchments, and soon drove the Japanese from their de- fences at Ihe end of the bridge. An hour later other chasseurs rushetl acro.ss the bridge and seized and for- tified a thicket oppo.sile Lamuteng, overcoming u number of wolf holes and, wire entanglements, and blew up the .Japanese redoubts. The ar- tillery Kept up the bombardment, and succwded by midnight in de- molishing the .lapanese .<si:archlight.s. Then a stubborn <jgat in the dark- ness began. the gloom being but slightly alleviated by the pale light of the stiirs and fhe reflection from Ores kindled by the explosion of shells. The Jap.-xnese brought up their quick-lire guns and forced the Itiissians to ahnn.ii.n the thicket, froim which positioii the -Japanese procet?ded lo bomlianl the regiments holding the head of tlie bridge. The light was desperate anff at close quarters. The Japanese rushed up heavy columns of reini'orceirients and charged lepeatedly acro.ss th.' river. strewing the ice with the bo<lies of their d. ud. At dawn the Russians r.-tired acro.ss the liver, carrying their woimdod. but leading 100 dea'I behind. The Russians wore cMilta-it over the lo.s.ses inflicted upon the .Japan- ese in th's i-iilty. a'ld are eager to renew the light. BREADSTL'FFS.
