This may be regarded as good evidence of a large concentration " ff troupe at Mukden.' The same correspondent, describing the cranes at the Tin Pin notes ox traordlnary . ant mat I an there. .

London, Sept, 19c Tho Times correspondent with' General Kuroki, to a disjialch dated Liao Yang, September 17, at tbe conclusion of a long account of the battle, says: General Kuroki's flank movement failed owing to the tactics of General Kuropatirla. wbo trusted that half of bis army weidd suffice to bold the Japanese south of the Tsii.se river. Ills forces were so strongly posted, and he secured auch a secure Hue of retreat the soundness of the course adopted must appeal to the tacticians, ln any case, it upset the calculation! of the Japanese, who counted upon comparatively feeble resistance to their flanking movement. There are indications to show that while the Russians coat emulated a determined effort at check, they feared throwing down the gauntlet and fighting a pitched battle. They had very smell reserve sappltes at Liao Yang, inieting to the railway for supplies. The proof of this ia that they left practically nothing for the Japanese, who captured sufficient to supply their army only for one day. After the Russian ' retirement to the east bank of the river their position presented a scent of carnage unparalleled la civilised warfare. A remarkable feature of the fighting on the left flank was the evidence that the Japanese proved tbe value of thin line as compared with heavy continental formations. The Russians lack of dash Indicates prudence agafnst jeopardising their retirement.

At I oclock tbe attacking forces set in motion four columns, which crossed the bed of ths river, entering the water ln a storm of long range rifle fire. The men. In extended order, dashed into tbe water and soon were immersed to their waists and afterward to their shoulder, holding their rifles - aloft. Some were swept off thdr feet by tbe rapid current Few were wounded, as fortunately the Russian guns did not command the crossing.
