1:30 p. m. An extended report received
from the headquarters of the MancKurian
armies, a brief summary ef which Is pub
lished thla afternoon, Indicates that the
Japanese were generally successful In the
fighting of yesterday and. that all three of
the Japanese armies gained decided ad
vantages. The Japanese captured a total
of ten guns. The operations designed to
Isolate and surround the Russian at Ben
slhu are progressing favorably The num
bers engoged In the struggle exceed the
forces which fought at Uao Yang.
In some places the fighting surpasses In
desperation anything--known llnce the war
began. The losses .are- nqt Indicated, but
they unquestionably ' are heavy. A tele

which arrived here today, says:
Wednesday's Operations.
' In the direction of Bennihu the enemy's
attacks have been repulsed at all points.
Communications with Chtaotao has been
firmly established.
The pursuit of the enemy undertaken by
the force ,of the right and center armies
has progressed remarkably.
A fine from Maerhshan to Manchuafan
Das been reached.. There a body of the
enemy, possessing guns, was enveloped by

left columns of this army, after driving
a strong force of the enemy before them,
took the Russian positions at Langtou

the afternoon and captured eight guns.
The enemy fled In a disorderly manner to
the north and our forces pursuing him
Immediately advanced toward Llnhanchl
atm. The right column, after encountering
fierce resistance, successfully dislodged th
enemy, who was holding poltlona north
of Yendonullu. The enemy retired in con
fusion. Our force was engaged In pursuing the
enemy toward rmgwangmiao, south of

the results' of the tremendous struggle
which .has been waged for the last three
days . south of Mukden, but all reports

The Japanese yesterday began a deeper
ate effort to turn the Russian right and
If this effort should be successful it will
carry disaster to the Russian arms.
The struggle around Benslhu Is being
followed with Interest here. The Russian
force there la estimated at 6,000 and Its
Isolation or loss would be a severe blow.
Estimates of the total forces engaged

the latter to give ground. But, along the
center, stretching from Yental station east
ward, where General- Nodsu also sttempted
a desperate counter attack, and where the
fighting was the hottest,, the Russians held
their own. The result at nightfall was a
draw. This Is the latest word received
by the War office from Kouropatkln, but
according to the dispatch of the Associated
Press from Mukden, the Japanese resumed
the offensive again this morning.
No word has come regarding the opera
tions of the Russian turning movement on
Oyama's right, on which the success of
Kouropatkln's plan of battle seems to de
pend, the War office explaining that re
ports from this point had not, reached
Kouropatkln when he sent his dispatch
and, consequently, Information in lacking
of the' operations at the Very point where
all eyes center and where the heavy blow
was evidently aimed.
netlcence Regarding News.
The strength of the force with which
Kouropatkln has undertaken this turning
movement has not yet developed. The
mixed column which crossed the Tatse
river Sunday is now believed to be Gen
eral Rennenkampf's force, probably Joined
to other mixed columns "under either Gen
eral Mlstchenko or General Kashtaltnsky.
The Infantry and artillery engaged In
desperate fighting In the neighborhood ' of
the Bonsihu fords, the Japanese having
fortified a short line from Benslhu to Llu
dladla, to protect their right flank. Thcpe
columns evidently marched down from
Fushun, separated at Bentzlaputse, a por
tion taking the direct Benslhu road, and
the others the road to Utzy and Koutiatsze,
whfch cross's the river at Slanttlatzl, fif
teen miles above.
The War office Is reticent regarding the
movements of the (tying column on the ex
treme Russian left, which was striking at
the line of Japanese communications with
the Ynlu river, but It is reported to have
been checked at Dzlantchan, equivalent to
the. Japanese Hslenchwang, (otherwise
Slanchan.)
The Japanese narrow gauge railroad from
Fengwangcheng to Blamatsze, connects
with the roads and depots at Dzlantchan
and Siaodr.
Altogether the news this morning Is not
completely reassuring. The Novoe Vremya
voices the prevailing sentiment, saying:
Kouropatkln Is a cautions leader and It
Is taken for granted that he Weighed well
the risks before undertaking the wide turn
ing movement. We prohshly shall' have
to wait long and weary hours before
knowing the results of toe all-Important
battle now begun. -
Doubt at .Mukden.
I A dispatch from a correspondent of the
Associated Presss, dated Mukden, October
12, morning, said: .
The fight opened today before ' tiunrlse,
when the sound of guns was heard from
the southward. I am leaving now for the
front. The Russian troops on Tuesday oc
cupied Tentai station, but the Japanese
continue to hold the Yental mines, though
a furious fight had been in progreess there
all day long. The Russians also captured
Benslhu after severe fighting and thus
found themselves in an Important position
on the flank.
There are many contradictory reports of
the general results of Tuesday's engage
ment afloat In Mukden, and It is hard to
arrive at an actual conclusion. It Is not
even known on the whole, whether the
Japanese or the Russians are gaining the
most ground.
The War office up to this hour declares
that no additional reports have arrived
from the front. '.
. General Sakharoff's report given out only
brings the story or the battle up to the
evening of October 11, when no decisive re
sults had been obtained by either side,
although he makes it plain that the Jap
anese had assumed the offensive and the
Russians had not been entirely successful
In defending their positions. The atmos
phere at the War .office is by no means
cheerful. The failure to receive news of
the Russian left wing might possibly be
Interpreted as tending to confirm the Toklo
report that the Russians operating against
the Japanese right had been enveloped.
SakharosT Reports.
General Sakharoff, in a dispatch to the
general staff dated October U, gives tome
details of the operations of Monday and
Tuesday. He saysj '.''''
The Manchurlan : army October It
strengthened Its hold on the positions taken
the previous evening, five miles south of
Bhakhe river. On Ckjober 11 the Japanese
attacked the Russians on both sides of the
railroad and north of the Yental mines. A
fierce tight rsged all day long and by night
the greater portion of the position occupied
by the Japanese In Khona Pass had fallen
Into the hands of the Russians) who, how
ever, at 6 in the evening, had not yet suc
ceeded in capturing a wooded hill consti
tuting the key to the position.
Throughout October 11 the Russians
maintained the offensive alone the entire
front against the Japanese advanced posi
tions, except at soma- points where they
were obliged to retire to their main posi
tions. At about 3 In the afternoon, October 10,
the enemy took the offensive between the
Mandarin road .and .the village of Tou
mytsa, north of Venial, with about a di
vision of infantry and several batteries of
artillery. The enemy's attack was checked
by the nre of our advtince guards. They

NEW YORK, Oct. 13. Judge Parker to
day made his first visit to the headquarters
of the democratic national committee. Ho
surprised his political managers, who had
received no Intimation of his intention to
visit them. Judge Parker had left, his
apartments at the hotel with the purpose
of taking a little morning recreation and,
finding himself near the headquarters, he
decided to make an - inspection of the

their desks except William -V. Sheehan,
chairman of the executive committee.
Judge Parker pasj'ed through all the rooms
and spent some time conversing with
Colonel John I. Martin, sergeant-at-arms;
Delancey Nicoll, vice president of the na

with Mr. Taggart. - Mr. Sheehan came In

turned to the hotel he found several per
sons waiting for him. The conferences of
the day will be hurried In order to permit

executive committee after Judge Parker
had left was for the purpose of consider

the executive committee for the purpose
of discussing conditions and reports.
During his visit to the headquarters
Judge Parker pleasantly remarked:

hard at work so early In the morning.
It looks good and is very encouraging."
"Oh," said Chairman Taggart, "you can
always find us hard at work, Judge. We
are interested In doing everything pos
sible to secure your election." '
