speech thanking the Burgomaster for the well
come accorded him on his arrival here to-day. re-
called his visit in October. 1899 and the speech
he then made appealing for the creation of q
great navy. The success Of that appeal. he said.
was to be seen In the flower OF the German navy,
which was now lying at anchor at the mouth OF
the Elbe. The German people. the Emperor
said. were entitled to keep the fleet where Ii was
needed to protect their interests. and nobody
would prevent II being intrusted 10 the people
according 10 their will and pleasure.
Emperor William then referred, in compIi-
mentary terms. to the work OF the army his
grandfather trained in welding the empire. and
said that since the German people had been one
and the Fatherland fully equipped there had
been peace. In order TO emphasize the military
character OF the day, he said. he had given or
ders that the regiments now garrsOned in
Hanse towns should in future bear the names OF
those cities. and concluded by expressing the
conviction that God would give him strength to
preserve the German people in peace with the
aid OF his gallant regiments.

tachulent sent to relieve the skirmishers who
had been covering the battery commanded oy
Pokotiloff. one of the heroes OF Kulien-Chens.
The japanese, according TO custom, were smell
ing places where they believed the Russian re-
serves were located. Before the correspondent
could reach the battery he had to cross danger
zone Of 150 yards. projectiles falling and burst
with wrath.
There was touching scene when the skirrnish-
ers were reached. Russian soldier met
brother whom he had last seen in their native
village. There were joyous greetings and a
quick exchange Of news from home Then eacn
went his way and settled down to the work of
firing, coolly and deliberately.
The japanese fire was spasmodc. Their bull
let's sang like birds as they sped overhead ana
the Russians cracked jokes about them
Two hours later the correspondent reached the
battery, and found that Pokotiloff and another
officer, Costroff had been killed. Out OF sixty
gunners forty were killed wounded. Captain
Tarasof was in charge or the battery. His
quiet courtesy recalled the hero of one OF Count
Tolstoy's novels.
Fifty yards away was splendid looking gum
ner. whose duty IL was TO record the success or
failure Of each shot with deadly messengers
hurting all around him. But the Russian gun
ner stood erect and utterly without needing the
danger to which he was exposed.
The Russian officers had not eaten anything
since the previous day. and the correspondent
shared with them what provisions he had. The
taste of food caused them to realize the intensity
OF their hunger. Prudence urged the corre-
spendent TO leave the spot, but he was fasci-
mated.
Here the message ended. The officer who sent
forward NJ. Kiriloffs last dispatch added:
NJ. Kirilorf. who was enthusiast I'm his work,

was shot through the right lung while standing
by our battery, and fell back suffering intense
agony. the blood squirting from his mouth Yet
his devotion TO duty enabled him TO overcome his
suferings. He insisted upon being placed on a
horse so that he could get 10 Liao-Yang and
file his dispatch. II took him five hours to cover

OYAMA'S REPORT PUBLIC.
Operations Up to September +
Kuroki Meets Stubborn Resistance.

Toxic, Sept. 6.-An extended report from Field
Marshal Oyama. the Japanese commander in
chief in the field, received in Toxic to-day
and made public tonight. 1t is largely devoted
TO a review of the fighting which took place
between August a and September 4.
The announcement that the Russians will at
tempt to retain possession of the Yentai col
lieries indicates strong possibility of battle
there. Yentai is the only colliery in Northern
Manchuria, and its possession is of vital i'm
portance TO the Russians for the operation of
the railroad.
Field Marshal Oyama reported that a part OF
the Russian troops held Yingshussu. south OF
Yentai and that General Kurokfs right in
close touch with the Russians He announced
also that the left and centre japanese armies,
under the command OF Generals Oku and Nodzu
had halted on the left bank OF the Tai-Tse
River and that 1t was his intention to dispatch
a portion OF them to occupy the heights north
OF Mu-Chang and along the railroad.
General Kuropatkin burned all the railroad
bridges over the Tai-Tse River.
The report says that the exact number OF Jap
anese losses since August IS is not known at
present but that the casualty lists being
compiled. The field marshal predicts that the
losses viii prove heavy.
The dispatch does not mention the number OF
guns taken. but it is known that sixteen guns
were captured at An-Ping and An-Shan-C Chan,
and earlier reports mentioned the capture and
against the railroad station at Liao-Yang
OF certain 10-centimetre Canet guns. Field
Marshal Oyama says also that, in spite of con-
tinuous attacks for ten days against an>enemy
occupying semi-perrnanent Notifications. and
the heavy resultant sacrifice the spirit of de-
votion and determination OF the Japanese
troops is excellent.
General Kuropatkin. according 10 the report.
continued to receive reinforcements until Au-
gust l3. and his final strength consisted of at
least twelve fun divisions
The losses sustained by the Russians not
known TO the Japanese field force
General KurokI encountered desperate oppo-
sition In The hattie on the heights 10 the east of
Hei-Ying- Tai, where he fought continuously and
hercely for four days before he succeeded In dis
lodging the Russians
IL seems manifest that the stubbornness OF
the Russian defence at Hei-Ying-Tai saved the
Russian line Of retreat and ayerted an over
whelning disaster.
