GANGRENE IS FEARED
Mukden Jan. 30 delayed in transmission.—Constant streams ot
wounded men are arriving here from the right flank including Lieu-
tenant General Mistchenke who is in excellent soirits and receiving
the visitors.
According to the official army organ the wounded number 3500.
The cold is intense and the condition of the wounded causes the
greatest anxiety because exposure of their wounds to the frost in-
duces gangrene. Preventative precautions have been taken but the
wounded are suffering the greatest pain
JAPS SPREAD NEWS OF
RIOTS AMONG RUSSIAN
SOLDIERS AT MUKDEN
Mukden. Jan. 31.—The Japanese are taking good care to see that
the Russian rank and file is not left uninformed regarding the dis-
turbances in Russia. They are carrying on a regular campaign to
spread sedition and discouragement among the troops. Letters are
daily thrown within the Russian lines declaring that all Russia is
aflame with riot and revolt arguing that the soldiers are shedding
blood in vain and calling on them to surrender or desert. The sol-
diers eagerly read these communication especially the accounts of
events at St. Petersburg on January 22. Sincere hope is expressed
on all sides that the Russian nation will forego international differ-
ences and not play into the hands of the Japanese.
RUSSIAN LOSSES WERE
10000 IN THREE DAYS
St. Petersburg. Jan. 31. —A telegram from Schiatun dated Jan-
uary 29 states that the Russian losses from January 25 to 28 were
10.000. but the percentage of dead is small. The Japanese losses are
very heavy. Over 300 were made prisoners.
St. Petersburg Jan. 31. —General Kuropatkin in dispatches
dated January 28 and 30 reports the Japanese losses in the recent
fighting as very heavy many being bayonetted and sabered. The
total number of Japanese prisoners has not been ascertained but
they already exceed three hundred. Russian losses on Januarv 28
among the advance posts were five officers and fifty men.
General Kuropatkin says the Japanese offensive is indecisive
and that the Russians who are in excellent spirits continue to oc-
cupy the village on their right flank captured during the recent
fighting. The Russians continue successtully to bombard Sande-
pas. where many Japanese have been frozen to death.
Mukden Jan. 30 delayed in transmission. —This morning the
Japanese advanced on the Russian left drove in a cavalry screen
and bombarded the outlying hills. The Russians moved up with
reinforcements repulsed the Japanese and drove them out of the
village they occupied.
London Jan. 31 2 151 p. n.-—A dispatch to the Japanese lega-
tion dated today says Field Marshal Oyama reports that the Rus-
sians left 1200 dead on the field since January 25.
Capture of Heikoutai By Japs
Weakens the Russian Position
Tokio Jan. 31 it a. m.—lt is believed that the loss of Heikoutai
weakens the Russian position and will probably compel a material
change in the Russian front at that vicinity. Heikoutai will be
strongly defended by the Japanese who are now occupying the Rus-
sian works. As the ground is frozen it is practically impossible to
construct new works.
SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. TUESDAY. JANUARY 31 1905.
Cold Weather
Retards Movements
In Manchuria—Kurop&t>
Rin Criticized.
St. Petersburg. Jan. 31. —Associated
Press telegrams from Manchuria uo
not indicate d welopmeiits of Impor-
tance since General Grippcnberg's or-
der to abandon the advance. The Jap-
anese yesterday made a demonstration
in the eastern dle'xlct. bu apparently
ft was not serious. Operations on the
dusslan right will probably not octa
sion further heavy fighting at present
unless the Japanese determine to fol-
low up a counter offensive movement
which is not likely in view of the die-
pate hi* from Musden. Mytag ike cold
is mon 1 Intense thus rendering move-
ments of large bodies on either side
well nigh Impoteible.
One result of the bitter cold has
been to greatly increase mortality
among the wounded. Military critics
do no: express the approval of General
Kuropatkin's offensive the Nove
Vreraya declaring it a failure and the
Russ saying it Is neither a reeonuais-
ance in force not a dem'xistralion
hence It could only be undertaken to
capture a st nuegetlcal point and ’bi.i
object is not just I fled by the events.
