Belated dispatches arriving in London descriptive of the weeks fighting, to some extent bear out this view.

Acting under this command General Kuropatkln advanced with his whole strength to the souih of Mukden, dividing his regiments into three columns, the center, the right and the left. The center column, composed of the First, Fourth and Fifth corps under the command of General Solo-leTungshankon advanced toward and Llnhua mountain. The left column which was composed of two corps unadvanced der General Stakellterg, right against the Japanese right, 'me column, which was composed of three corps, advanced against the Japanese left. Besides these, there was one folcorps held in reserve which waa lowing the center column. General Linevllch, commanding ths field fighting force in the Oswurt district was taking a devious road from the east and advancing toward the southeast of Liao Yang for the purpose of threatening the line of a possible Japanese retreat. General commanding six regiments of on Linevitch a dragoons, operated right. The center column was disposed as follows: The First corps on the right, the Fourth corps on the left and the Fifth corps In rear of the center. Ths Fourth corps consisted of tbe First and Fourth Siberian reserve division. iprick-frlnguns Four batteries were sttsched to each division. Tbe prisoners declared tbat the war would continue for a long time because the Russian had decided toi attain a fingl victory regardless of tbe losses which might be Involved, as otherwise a defeat would mean a general revolution and the disintegration of Russian territory. During one engagement the Thlrty-ssvent- h division, especially the First sustained extraordinary brigade, losses. Tbe first company of the on 145tb regiment was anlhllaied a Sankualhsl mountain and many were killed, wounded or captured. The Third Siberian division sustained the greatest loss. At the beginning, of the war, the Russian regiments numbered, 4,000 men each. After the battle of Liao Yang each of the regiments waa reduced to a strength of about 2,500 with the exception of tbe 12th regiment, which as a result of this battle was reduced to 800.
