MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.
Fight at Tatcheklao Almost Wholly an
Artillery Duel.

st. Petersburg, Aug. IA special
dispatch from Liaoyang, giving D
graphic picture of the fight at Tatche
kiao, explains that the Russian i'm
munity from damage by the furious
Japanese bombardment was due to the
fact that the Russian guns were most
ly behind range of steep hills and
were concealed cleverly by high grass
and trees and that the Chinese were
therefore, unable to heliograph the
position of the guns, as they formerly
had done, to the Japanese artillery
men
The Japanese had many large calibre
guns and used chiefly shrapnel They
used also high explosive shells The
fight was almost wholly an artillery
duel and was a magnificent spectacle
The crest of the hills held by the Rus
slams was converted into a raging vol
cano and earth was thrown up In
geysers by the continuous
Rain of Bursting Shells
until sand and dust hung in a cloud
overhead and fire among the trees and
grass, started by the shells. added a
sitting smoke and heat TO the awful
glare of the tropical sun The shrap
mel, like great. white winged birds
sailed overhead. Th2 moan and drone
of their coming could be heard plainly
and the Russians threw themselves
behind rocks and other shelters as
the missiles burst.
The Japanese shifted the position
of their guns, both to escape the Rus
sian fire and to try and locate the
masked batteries of their opponents
Late in the afternoon they got in a
position that enabled them to sweep
the plain behind the. hills occupied by
the Russians and came dangerously
near locating, though they did not
quite find the Russian batteries
Everyone, except the commanders
was surprised and disgusted at the
order TO retreat The Russians burned
everything valuable at Tatchekiao be-
