Commissibn Emphasizes ItsHealthfulness for Canteen rt of the National Commissibn mphasizes Its Healthfulness for Canteen Story Printed at London Arouses Much Interest at St Petersburg ST PIrr BRISBURO Oct 12 The story cabled from Shanghai to the London Daily Telegraph by Bennett Buricigh that Oyarna will be recalled and that Gen Nodzu will be made Commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces attracts lively Interest in military circles here It is now known that Gen Nodzu's action at the battle of Liao Yang In pressing a portion of his army across the Talise river to co-operate with Gen ICuroki thus increasing the 'strength of the Japanese flanking force and threatening Kuropatkin's communlcations made it impossible for the Russian commander to risk continuing his original plan of striking the Japanese right which forced the Russian retirement According to a Russian General who has just returned here from Liao Yang the Japanese had 1401)00 men six double divisions and four brigades across the river when Kuropstkin ordered the retreat fihe MACHS 215 Sommer St enese line of communication with the Yalu River 1114 not come as a surprise as it was knolhn although not revealed for

confirms the reports of desperate fighting north of Yenta where the heights were alternately held by the Masiins and Japanese Gen Dancitoft who succeeded Gens Trouseff and Romanoff in command of the Sixth Siberian Rifles Division wag wounded in the log but did not relinquish the command The losses are not stated According to Cem Kuropatkin's ad-vibes sent last night after the fighting of the day had elided the Japanese were stubbornly holding their own offering a desperate resistance and had even advanced their positions After an all day tight above Yenta' where the RDIStalle sustained their first cheek the Japanese still held that position ARTILLERY BEARS BRUNT The infantry practleally waa not engaged the artillery bearing the brunt of the fighting The Japanese stuck to their guns and the Russian butteriee were unable to dislodge them Aceording to the advice received by the War Office here the Japanese hold entrenched lines extending' in a circle north of the Yentai Railroad station erroneously reported to have been captured by the Russians Thence they have a series of arca covering the Yen-tat branch railroad including the mines whence their lines sweep southeastward toward the Taitse River thus enclosing I he Inounta in region forming a triangle of their main positions Gen Kuropatain's right seemingly is carrying out a strong flanking movement eestward as reported by the correspondent of the Associated Frees at Shan Pintaldse but whether it is intended to push it home or whether it is only a feint to cover an ultimate attack egainst Field Marshal Oyama's left has not yet developed The latter view is held by many officers here who believe that Kuropatithes purpose is to crumple up the Japanese left push them off eastward from the railroad end then if he can carry the Japanese triangle compel them to retire in the direction of the Yalu River thus clearing the way through Liao Yang for possession of the railroad southward and possibly enabling Kuropatkin to relieve Port Arthur which as announced in the Russian General's order of the day is his main objective Still the ikst informed members of the General Staff are inclined to think that the strategy of the battle must depend on the manner in which the engagement develops IN fVENT OF DEFEAT It is pointed out that in the event of defeat whieh Kuropatkin must conetantly bear in mind since the Japanese then will doubtless try to push through straight to Tie Pass it will be necessary for him to keep his heaviest battalions east The latest reports indicate that the fighting there is of much larger proportions titan was supposed yesterday The battle has ow raged uninterruptedly for three days and nights and the Russians have been unable to make further headway since the check which they tained Oct 10 owing to the ed resistance of the Japanese The latest War Office information says the fighting is of a most deeperate character The positions are constantly changing hands The Russians inflicting and sustaining heavy losses A mention of the Tomsk Regiment as being the worst sufferer indicates that the Second Siberian division Gen Gav noff's corps 13 engaged An official report from Gen Denieloft commanding the Sixth Siberian stile division who is wounded shows that Gen Stakelberg's corps is also in the tight If the full two corps are involved about L0000 Russians are engaged The late news also confirms the As soriated Press dispatches indicating that Kuropatkin is transferring ths NN eight of his blow to the Japanese right The extreme Russian left extends to the Taltse River where it bends northward to forty miles above Liao Yang The line includes the lages of Ultsy and Tantsiaputsy three miles south of Dentslaputze and then bends northward to

HEADQUARTERS OF THE RUSSIAN "WESTERN ARMY MUKDEN Oct 11 Via Pekin Oct Dragoons have captured a copy of a message from the Emperor of Japan to his troops in which the Mikado says he is ittII awaiting the decisive defeat of the Ruse tans It le apparent from this intelligence that the Japanette are equally preparing for important events There have been daily engagements between the advance guards Hong the entire line of thirty miles The Japanese appear to be apprehensive of a cutting off movement owing to the fact that Russian cavalry are south of the Tease River and also owing to the presence of Russian forces 'yesterday In the old positions and fortitication at Itentsihte They have therefore fallen back The strong position at the Yentat coal mines which has been the cause of apprehension to the Runs tans was vacated by the Japanese Oct 9 though they are throwing up earth works toward the west where the superiority of the Russiaa cavalry will require superior defenses It is believed that the Japanese have about 100 guns at the bridge across the Te list River rendering hazardous a attack there The preliminary line of battle after the two armies have been reinforced and refortilled
