The Duke of Connaught,

LONDON, 14th October.

The recent accident to the Duke of Con naught was due to a collision. The Duke, who was accompanied by Major Murray, was thrown out of the car. It is officially stated the Duke, is suffering from a scalp wound, and an injury to the left car but no serious consequences are anticipated.

LATER.

The Duke of Connaught is progreasing favourably.

Signal Hill Recaptured. General Stoessel reports that the Russians, on the rst instant, recaptured Signal Hill. The Japanese were bombarding the interior of the fortress from new batteries; and the bombardment was becoming more and more

violent,

Worse than Liaoyang. The

capture of fifteen guns by the Japan cse is officially admitted in St. Petersburg, Russian correspondents agree that the fight. ing has been of a more desperate character than at Linoyang, and that the combatants have a complete disregard for life. Posi- tions were taken and retaken six and eight times daily at a terrible cost. Frequent hand-to-hand encounters occurred, in which both sides threw hand grenades with murder ous effect. Cannonades continued nightly.

Gloom in St. Petersburg.

15th October. Keyler's St. Petersburg correspondent wires that the news from Manchuria has

caused a profound gloom, in striking con- trast to the elation provoked by the procla- mation.

General Kuropatkin wires that the Russian losses are understood to be about 8,000.

Tzar's Message to Port Arthur.

Peking, Oct. 6.

The Trat has sent a message to the Russians at Port Arthur, praising and encouraging them, and ordering them to hold out until reinforce ments arrive. General Kuropatkin has reported to the Tzar that he succeeded in delivering the message to the besieged by means of a balloon on a dark night. The Tzir was very glad to learn that his message had been delivered,— Mainichi,
