Severe cold Is being experienced In General Oyama’a Position River Waa too Btroog fo alana-lntanasly Cold Weather Pre vailed—General Grippenberg Pnt St. Petersburg, Jan. 81. — General Kuropatkin’s attempt to break through the Japanese left wing and outer «lank of Marshal Uyama's position on the 8hkahe river seems to have failed en tirely. Field Marshal Oyama, as at the bat tle of Shakhe river, appears to have an swered the Russian advance with ,a counter offensive movement, but no great dispoeitlon was shown t oarry the warfare into the territory held by the Russians. At the war office there is an inclina tion to lay the ohief blame for the fail ure of the movement to a sudden ohange o f the weather to intense oold (20 degree* below zero), with a high wind, whioh drifted the snow rad ren dered it hazardous to expose the troops to cdinping in the open plain rad also impeded the transportation of guns, supplies rad the wounded. The operation entrusted to the seo- ond army, under General Grippenberg, was the capture of Sradepaa, whioh proved too hard a nut to crack, and the Japanese, taking advantage of the oheoka of the Russians, hurried up their reinforcements rad assumed the offensive on the Hun river ss well ss along the railroad rad the Great Man- dorian road. The Russians, however, appear to have been completely suc cessful on the defensive, repnlsing all the Japanese attacks. Under the oir- oomstraoes. General Grippenberg de cided not to press the attempt to storm Sradepaa, whioh is situated in a flat country and therefore more difficult to take by assault than in a hillyaoonntry. Ownig to the flat trajeotory'rad the enormous penetration o f modern pro- jeotiles, the capture of the outer line trenohee on Thursday entailed heavy oaauatllee. - There is no official esti mate of the losses, but it is expeoted that some thousands on both sides were killed or wounded. The news o f this defeat, ooming at this time, is especially hard fbr the government The popular idea oontinues to be that the advance was undertaken in order to divert the attention o f the peo ple from the events in European Rus sia.

LATEST F Z 0 K BATTLE FIELD SUMlans Lori 40,000 Men and Japaa- aneac 7000 During January. Mukden, Feb. 1,—There is apparent connection between the starting of the battle o f January 26 rad the domestio exoitment at 8k Petersburg, nor orders just issued to abandon the planned ad vance against the .Japanese positions. The effect oi the trouble In Russia is as yet imperceptible here. The facts ly known. Offloe« in information of ooour- renoes at borne say that the disaffected are probably using the present war as a pretext for their periodical demon strations whioh, when known, are re garded no more serious than formerly. The oommrader in chief's orders to abandon the advraoe are reported to state two reasons for stopping the ad vraoe—first, the losses sustained; sec ond, the failure of a quick attaok, up on whioh the advraoe depended. The precise meaning of the above is not ap parent Notwithstanding the order to oease, a tenacious conflict oontinues in the vicinity o f Sanohiapu, a fortified out post on the Japanese left, where it is reported the Russians have taken the outer works. Berlin. Feb. 1.—The Russian offen sive movement, aooording to the re ports reoeived by the general staff at Mukden, has not been oompleted, but oontinues to devtlope, rad the result ora not be forecasted. These reports, whioh deal hugely, with teohnioal in formation without generalizations or descriptions, affirm that the Russians have not attaoked the Japanese left wing in force, but that only skirmishes have taken plaoe on that wing rad the greater part o f four out of General Kuropatkin’s six army oorps have so far taken part in the demonstration Mukden—There is another lull in the fighting, but it is impossible to tell how long it will last The Russian losses the last few days were about 10,000.

London — The Daily Telegraph’s Tokio correspondent says the Russian casualties in the engagements from January 1 to January 80 are now esti mated at between 86,000 and 42,000, rad those o f the Japaneee at 7000. The Japanese advance against the Russian left turns out to have been merely a demonstartidh. The Japan*, ese fell back as soon as the Russians brought up reinforcements.
