THE WAR.
KUROPATKIN’S REINFORCEMENTS. Twelve military trains, conveying 1700 fully equipped men, daily reinforce General Kuropatkin. The Russians at the front are without warm clothing, and are wearing Chinese padded dressing gowns. Field-Marshal Oyama has issued a proclamation calling on the army to make a supreme effort. RECENT FIGHTING. A Japanese official telegram claims that the Japanese defeated the Russians on the 20th Inst., taking Santungku, 60 miles north-easf of Liaoyangt and driving them northward. It is also claimed that they repulsed a strong reconnaissance on the 18th inst. thirty miles north-east of Liaoyang, and that that the Russians lost heaving owing to their retreating in close formation. MILITARY RIOTS. Anti-military riots have occurred at Odessa, the residents refusing to start for the front. A detachment of troops sent to suppress the disturbance, refused to obey orders. The Times’ military Critic urges the Japanese cavalry to emulate the Boers in train-wrecking tactics.
