RUSSIANS LOSE HEAVILY—JAPANESE CAPTURE DALING PASS. Another Fierce Assault on Port Arthur—Slaughter Said to Be Indescribable. St. Petersburg, Sept. 24.—Daling pass, one of the most strategic spots in the siege of Mukden, has fallen to the Japanese, after repeated assaults. - The Russian Cossacks, who held the pass, were routed and fled in utter deffeat Friday. They left 280 dead on the field. This is'the repbrt which has just reached the war office here, and officials are plunged in the deepest gloom. The news, while official, has not been confirmed by messages from Kuropatkin, and until he reports to the czar it will pot be known how the Japanese were able to defeat the Russians at the pass. which has been considered impregnable. May Not Resist Advance. - St. Petershurg, Sept. 24.—The absence of detailed reports from the seat of war, despite the important character of events that are believed to be developing around Mukden, leads to the supposition that Gen. Kuropatkin may after all, not seriously contest the Japanese advance, and that the long expected battle at Mukden may turn out to be merely a rear guard action upon a large scale. Gen. Sakharoff reports that the Japanese army is moving from Bentsiaputze toward Fu Pass, a village six miles northeast of Mukden and near the right bank of the Hun river. The river at this point is shallow, and probably for this reason the locality has been selected by the Japanese for crossing. If the Japanese succeed in gaining a foothold at Fu Pass, Gen. Kuropatkin’s position at Mukden will be insecure as the Japanese will from thencesbe able to threaten the Russian line of communications. Fu Pass is only 20 miles north of Bentsiaputze; but at the present rate of progress the Japanese will' probably occupy four or five days in traversing it. The Russian force south of Mukden is believed to consist of only one army corps, which is acting as a rear guard and is not intended to offer a serious resistance to the Japanese advance. ' Japan Needs Mukden, i

St. Petersburg, Sept. 253.—The Japanese advance towards Mukden/continues slowly, according to inform%ion received by the authorities here. Both official reports ‘and press dispatches place Marquis Oyama’s advance guard 30 miles south of Mukden, while stories printed in the foreign press that a great battle at Mukden has already begun are disproved by the actual. development at the scene of operations. There is no question in the minds of the Russian authorities of the importance of Mukden to the Japanese as a winter base. It is believed the Japanese will exert every effort to push 6ut the Russians, but it is thought a serious struggle for the possession of the town is still some days distant. The Japanese probably will have to reckon first with a stubborn defense of the Fushun mines, where the next important fight is expected to take place. Storming Port Arthur. -

Paris, Sept. 24.—The Matin’s St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs as follows: “Telegrams of which the general staff have as yet no knowledge reached the emperor at four o’clock this morning. I can.affirm that they concern Port Arthur, regarding which place the greatest anxiety prevails at court.‘ The Japanese are now engaged in’a/‘general assault, which is more ffurious than its predecessors, attacking the town on three sides ‘simultaneously, and employing their whole forces, being determined to finish the

business. Russian mines blew up whole battalions. Gen. Fock especially distinguished himself, directing the fire from the wall, which the Japanese reached after indescribable massacre., The whole of Admiral Togo’s and Vice Admiral Kamimura’s squadrons are aiding the struggle, which “it is feared here will be final. The besieged forces are fighting as in a furnace. A perfec: storm of shell is falling on the town, port and fortress from the whole hill and roadstead. Gen. Stoessel is going from fort to fort encouraging the defenders in their desperate efforts. In St. Petersburg the facts concerning the tragic event which will perhaps terminate by a glorious fall of Port Arthur are wholly unknown. At court hope has not yet been entirely abandoned.” Russians Meet Loss. St. Petersburg, Sept. 23.—A detachment under Gen. Rennenkampff, while reconnoitering Wednesday lost two officers and nine men killed and had three officers and 23 men wounded. Wilql Make Determined Effort. Shanghiai,.

Woman Runs Blockade, Chefoo, Sept. 22.—Mrs. Anna‘ Kravtchenko, the English wife of a Russian army officer, who arrived here the night of September 17 with Lieut. Prince Radzivil from Port Arthur, is the first woman to run the blockade from the Russian stronghold since the Japanese increased their vigilance to prevent egress from the port. Her trip was rendered extremely perilous because she came out with the prince and his companion, Lieut. Christoforoff, who carried messages from Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, the commander at Port Arthur, to Gen. Kuropatkin. Both these officers were disguised, and had they been captured by the Japanese they certainly would have been executed. Czar’s Troops Routed, " Tokio, Sept. 24.—Two fierce fights have just occurred at Tieling and Sanlangku, ‘disclosing the strength of the Japanese army farther north than the Russians had suspected. It is unknown whether or not the men belonged to the command of Gen. Kuroki. Hope of remaining in Mukden has been abandoned by the Russians since the encounters farther north. ;

¢ Official confirmation of the battles I has been received here. The Japanese detachments, according to advices, advanced through Heiniuchyang on September 20, slipping past a stronger Rus- ‘ sian force. They then attacked the enemy, which was strongly fortified at Tieling. The spoils captured were val‘uable and the losses of the Japanese slight. One company of Russian infantry, a troop of Cossacks and a machine gun corps were routed at Tie pass. A whole battalion of infantry was attacked and put to flight at Sanlangku, which is eight miles north of, Tieling. The Russians were driven off to the northward and left 19 dead on the field. | Headquarters Transferred. - Rome, Sept. 24.—A telegram asserts that the Japanese headquarters have been transferred from Liaoyang to Yentai.
