Mukden, Oot 10. The tide In the
Russo-Japanese oonteat has to all ap
pearances turned. Where up to a few
days ago the Japanese were on tho ad
van oe and apparently harassing and
pushing tho enemy ahead of them, now
all seems changed, and tho doughty lit
tle soldier of tbo mikado, deepito his
fatallstlo tendencies in on the retreat,
with the supporters of tho little white
father in close pursuit The first
change in tho positions of tho two con
testants was the capture of Bentslaputse
by tho Russians.! This waa effeoted wltb
only a small lose. This wan a strongly
fortified position and all preparations
had been made by tho Japanese to make
It almost Impregnable, and It is rumored
that Oeneral Kurokl personally com
manded the forces during the battle.
With all their precaution at this point
tho Japanese had left one weak position.
They omitted to fortify one hill, and
tho Russians advancing by a wide de
tour were able to seise the hill, and the
Japaneeo were thus placed In n position
where It was Impossible for them to
withstand the heavy fire from the Rus
sians. The Japanesa outposts had been
constantly haraeeed by Cossacks for
several days and oonpeled to retreat
with loss.
The Russian forward movement began
on October 4, and has been one succes
sion of skirmishes wherever tho Japan
ese have been encountered, all en ding in
favor of the Russians.
Tho equipment of tho Russian soldier
welghe about 100 pounds, and through
mud and slush ha plods along oheerfuily

It Is reported that the Japanese are
concentrating ss rapidly aa possible with
a view of arresting ths present rapid ad

he killed several cats with oxy- e
