RUSSIANS DRIVEN FROM TWO PO
siTIoNs AFTER PROLONGED
ENGAGEMENT.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The Japanese
legation has received the following
official cablegram from the foreign
Office at Toxic:
General kuroki reports that at day
break OF July 81 our army commenced
operations for attacking the enemy
occupying Yushulintzu -four miles
west of Hsihoyen) and Yangtsuling
(six miles west of Motienling), both
places situated about twenty-five miles
from Liaoyang. The enemy at Yushu-
itsu consisted of two divisions, with
corresponding artillery. The attack
ing operations were carried out as pre-
arranged and by sunset we defeated
both wings OF the enemy, but owing 10
their large force and strong POSITIONS
we were unable to dislOdge them en-
tirely. At uaybreak OF Aug. l we re
sumed the attack and succeeded in
expelling the enemy at noon and pur
sued them four miles in the westward
direction. The enemy fled toward
Anping. The enemy at YangtzulinS
consisted OF two and half divisions,
with four batteries of artillery. The
attacking operations there also pro-
crossed successfully and by sunset we
carried the enemy's principal posi-
tons, but a portion OF them offered
the stoutest resistance and we had to
bivouack the night in battle formation.
At daybreak of Aug. we resumed the
attack and at a. m. all heights fell
into our hands. The enemy fed to-
ward Tanghoyen. The casualties are
under investigation. We captured
some field guns, but details unknown
In this engagement the attacking
forces were at disadvantage, firstly
on account of the steepness of the
ground; secondly, on account of the
lack of suitable positions for our artil,
lery, while the heat was over 100 de.
grees Fahrenheit"

Serious Disorders Anticipated at Port

Port au Prince, Hayti, Aug. 3.-The
most serious disorders are anticipated
here. The population is very much
excited by the continued rise in the
prices of all merchandise and q band
of soldiers made an attempt to pillage
the central market and the shops in
that vicinity. Other troops and police
Immediately interviewed and re-estab.
lished order. All the stores in Port au
Prince, however, are now closed.
During the day number of Syrians
were stoned in the streets and their
stalls surrounding the central market
were destroyed by soldiers.
Mr.. Powell, the United States minis
ter, has informed President Nord that
all engagements entered into with
American citizens must be respected
and that the railroad from Port au
Prince to the interior, being an Amer
lean enterprise, must be protected by
the Haytian government and enabled
to continue in operation.

Vladivostok,1 Aug, 3.-The Vladfvos-
tok cruiser division has returned to
port. The cruisers were in perfect
condition. They captured during their
cruise the steamer Arabia and de-:
stroyed some schooners, small Jap
anese steamer, one German steamer
and one British steamer. The last
mentioned, two were carrying contra
band material and had nearly reached
their destination-Yokoha but were
almost without coal and it was there
fore impossible to send them to Vladi-
vostok. The cruisers steamed up and
down in front of the Japanese capital,
but saw nothing Of the enemy's war
ships. Although the Russian vessels
had only three doors through which to
get home-the straits of Korea, La
Perouse strait and Tsugaru strait
which apparently could easily have
been barred by Vice Admiral Kami-
mura's vessels, bad luck pursued the
Japanese admiral and the Russian
cruisers had no difficulty in GLIDING
