Beyond this.\nthe despatches relate entirely to the\ndevelopments of yesterday and Wednesday. They make it plain thai\nthe battle is of the most desperate\ncharacter thc lighting exceeding in\nfierceness that at Liao Yang. The\nlosses on both sides arc undoubtedly\nheavy, but the figures have not as\nbeen received.\nKuropatkin officially confirms the\nloss of a large number of guns on\nhis right flank, which was (orccd\nfrom its position by a night attack\nof the Japanese. He was also compelled to.withdraw some distance on\nhis loll as the position was lound to\nhe loo far advanced. The despatch\nshows that the operations of Wednesday and Thursday were unfavor-,\nable for the Russians. The Russian\nlosses are reported as especially heavy on their left and centre, where it\nappears that the hottest lighting occurred.\nLOSING HEART.\nSt. Petersburg, Oct. 14.\u2014(8 p.m.)\n\u2014Nothing official regarding to-day's\nlight is ybt obtainable, hut the prevailing impression in St. Petersburg\nis thai the day has gone against Kuropatkin. The city is even filled\nWilli rumors of his disastrous defeat.\nVICTORIOUS ADVANCE.\nTokio, Oct. 11.\u2014(t p.m.)\u2014 Field\nMarshal Oyama rcporta that fighting\nis in progress along alomst the en-,\ntire front and that thc Japanese arc\nmaking satisfactory progress.\nRUSSIANS RETIRE.\nSt. Petersburg, Oct. If .\u2014(3.35 p.\nnt.)\u2014Gen. Kuropatkin's official report given at 1.30 p.m., definitely\nconfirming the loss of artillery attached to the brigade on his right\nflank as the result of Gen. Oku's attack on Wednesday night only increases public apprehension. The\nnumber of guns lost is not specifically stated. Each division is. comprised of two brigades with a brigade of artillery of forty-eight guns.\nIt seems1 that the Russians lost 24\nguns which would correspond with\nthe Tokio report. The Admiralty\nsays it has no confirmation, in regard to the report from St. Petersburg by way of Paris of the appearance, ol five Japanese cruisers off\nVladivostock and discredits it. The\nAdmiralty yesterday received important news from Port Arthur simultaneously with the arrival of Gen-\nStoesscl's despatch. II is evident\nthat the new s relates to the Port\nArthur squadron and il would not\nhe surprising if Rear Admiral Wirin\nmade an attempt lo escape at any\nmoment.\nGen.

In spile ol the fact\nthat the Japanese attacks were chiefly directed against these troops they\nheld the ground to which they retired. On the left wing after a\nobstinate struggle the Russians\ncupied the rocky hills south ol Bon:\ntsiiipiiUc and near Bensihu, about 8\nmiles north of Yen Tai, but thc arrival of the Japanese reinforcements\npreventing them from profiling by\nthis success and this body was separated from the rest of the troops,\nKuropatkin ordered it retire. Thc\ndcupatch reiterates that the Russians suffered heavy losses hut no\ndetails have yet been given out.\nGETTING READY\nNew York, Oct.. 14.\u2014 A despatch\nfrom Paris to the Times says St.\nvery\nthough most .of these were recaptured. The Japanese subsequently captured several other guns. The number taken,, however, is not stated.\nCAPTURES BY JAPANESE.\nLondon, Oct. 14.\u2014Advices received\nat the Japanese. Legation say that\nthe report of Marquis Oyama, giving\ndetails ol tlie operations below Mukden on Tuesday and Wednesday which\nwere previously described in tlie Associated Press despatches from Tokio, seems to make -the total of Russian guns captured 38, and ammunition wagons 24. General Oku's army\nwas credited with having taken 23\ngun?. The report regarding capture^\nby General Nodzu is not quite clear.\nIt says he took \"two field guns and\neight\/ammunition wagons on a height\na few miles east of Yen Tai, and\nwhile pursuing' the enemy captured\nalio field guns with ammunition wagons numbering eleven at San-Kaush-\n\u25a0n-Moiilain, besides 1511 prisoners.'j\nThe Japanese Legation is not sure\nwhether this means eleven guns and\neleven wagons or whether the guns\nand wagons together total eleven.\nOYAMA VICTOR.\nLondon, Oct. 14.\u2014The London papers have to rely principally on official reports for news from thc Far\nEast, hut regard the Japanese victory assured. The Daily Telegraph\nsays Gen. Kuropatkin has shot his\nholt. He seemed to be speeding well\ntoward the mark, yet has missed it\nbadly.

It was\nan immense, creature, the crew ol the\nship state, probably weighing more\nthan any whale captured in the\nNorth in many years. That it got\naway from the men eventually was\ndue to its immense sizci and\nstrength.\nThere was a crew of twenty-five\nmen on board the 'Hcrnstcr, and\nwhen the ship moored to thc , dock\nthey wore the happiest bunch of sailors that have struck the port 'for\nmany a day.

While thc captain\nconsiders the trip a successful , one,\nit has been no belter than the average for thc year, he states, the other\nwhalers each succeeding in landing\nfrom three to five whales.
