Mukden Sept. 8. News of a fi(ht at
some point between Shakhe and Mukden

here is one to the effect that General Kuro-

is out of danger no word from him has been
given out for 36 hours and not a single
newspaper dispatch later than Sept. 6 has

to Mukden from which it is easy to
imagine a horrible picture of army and bag-

General Kuropatkin timed at o:0 yesterday
evening was received later in the day.
He reported Kuroki's army about 2?
