Details of Fighting.

Tolxio, September 12--7 D. m.)-Details of the fighting by the troops under com mand of General Kurolxi from August 2S to September were received here this morning and the stories of desperate and continued engagements show the fighting to have been the supreme test of endurance.
 On September ? and 3Stne Japanese sol diers were without anything to drink for twenty-four hours, and during that time they had no food save dry rice. During the night, fighting at Hsuchakou on August S0 the Russi ms made use of their field searchlights to ypose the Japanese positions to a dealy fire. On the night of September 2 a Japanese column, after repulsing a Russian atatack. occupied | line from point in the vicinity of the Yentai mines to the ridges to the west of Tayao.
 On the afternoon of the 3rd the Rus sians were again engaged. The enemy had received strong endorsements, and had sixty guns. A Japanese column was detached and advanced from Pensihu to Pingtaitse, where a guard was left while the column swung to the westward.
 On the afternoon of September 4 the Japanese occupied Yumentsuhan.
