BATTLE OF KA|CA0u
JAPANESE UNDER GENERAL okU
DEFEAT RUsslaHs AFTER
HARD FIGHTING.
LARGE ARMIES IN STRUGGLE
RUSSIANS HAD OVER THIRTY
THOUSAND MEN OPPOSING
THE JAPANESE.
LARGE ARMIES IN STRUGGLE

Toxic, July 11.-After three days
severe fighting, characterized by the
desperate attacks of the japanese and
the stubborn resistance of the Rus.
SLAMS, General Oku's army occupied
Kaiping (Kaichou) last Friday, driv.
ing the Russians northwaN in the di.
,rection of Haicheng. The Russians
had strongly fortified the hills situat-
ed in a semi-circle south of Kaiping.
Their forces consisted of over 10000
men. In his report of the engagement
General Oku does not give any details,
but shows the difficulties of the strug-
gle.
The operations began last Wednes-
day by the Japanese driving 1000 Rus
SLAMS from the heights south of Kai-
ping, constituting the first line of de-
tense. The Japanese occupied the po-
sitions and Tie russians retreated
northward.
On the same day the right wing Of
the Japanese army southeast of Kai-
ping defeated a small force of Rus
SLAMS and the left wing occupied the
heights to the southeast. NJ
On Thursday the entire Japanese
army forced it's way close to Kaiping,
overcoming the stubborn resistance
of the Russian infantry, cavalry and
artillery located in the narrow defiles.
The Russians held many strong posi-
tons in the mountainous country, but
despite their desperate resistance they
were forced to abandon them n by
one. During the night the Russians
were greatly reinforced by the troops
brought from the north by train, in
preparation for a big battle Friday.
Opened the Battle With Artillery Fire.
The Japanese began the last days
fighting at daylight with an artillery
fire from guns placed or the heights
previously captured from the Rus
SLAMS.
At s o'clock in the morning they
drove the Russians from their posi-
tions and forced them into their last
line Of defenses around the town. The
Russians evidently saw the town was
doomed, as General Oku reports that
many troops were withdrawn during
the morning. The Russians finally
took position on the tops of the high
precipices and again offered a stub
born resistance. About noon they
were forced to again withdraw, the
Japanese occupying the last line Of
defenses and the Japanese pursued
the enemy despite a severe artillery
fire from the Russian batteries on the
high bills to the north.
The Japanese artillery finally oc-
cupied new positions and silenced
these batteries. =
In the afternoon the Japanese oc-
cupied the town without further re-
%sistance.
While the particulars of the fighting
are not known it is evident that the
Russians made "a determined fight.
The losses and the number of those
engaged have not been reported.
Further details are awaited.

THOMAS TAecARr ENDORSED.
But He Is Not Vet Elected Chairman
Of Democratic Committee.

ct Democratic Committee.
st. Louis, July 1.-THE national
committee, now in its makeup, met at
2:3O O'Clock a. m. and again at 4
O'Clock p. m. with the avowed inten.
ton on behalf of the supporters Of
Taggert Of Indiana Of organizing by
electing him chairman.
The early morning meeting was not
fully attended, and the object aimed
at was not accomplished. 1t was
pointed out by Mr.. Mack of New York
that it would be discourteous to take
any action until Mr.. Parker, as the
candidate, was consulted.
The Taggart men, while not having
enough to elect, still suggested that
Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Sheehan and MI. Bel
mont, the candidates friends, were
still here and adopted a resolution
that they be invited to meet the COM
mittee in the afternoon. WhsN after
moor came there were three new COM
plications in the way of electing.
Chairman Jones of the old committee
boldly asserted that such action as
contemplated would be unprecedented
and in fact, illegal. 1t also turned
out that at a late hour the convention
adopted a resolution authorizing Chair
man Jones OF the Old committee, to
call the new committee together in
New York city at such time as he
might suggest. W.
Then the other thing was that Sena-
tor Hill and Mr.. Sheehan left for New
York at noon and could not therefore,
attend the meeting.
At the afternoon session Colonel
Guffey insisted on delay and Senator
Bailey requested an immediate settle
ment of the matter.
After nearly two hours of debate
Senator Bailey offered to compromise
If the committee adopt a resolution
endorsing the candidacy of Thomas
Taggart for chairman of the commit
tee. Mr.. Mack agreed to this and the
resolution was adopted. The commit
tee will therefore meet in New York
or the call Of Former Chairman Jones.

st. Petersburg, July 11.-Lieutenant
General Sakaroff in a dispatch to the
general staff, confirms the report of
the Japanese occupation of Kiachou.
He says that the Russian loss did not
exceed $50 killed or wounded. Cen
eral SakarOff adds that the Japanese
are on the Yinkow road.
RUSSIANS USED THE BAYoNET.
Claim They inflicted Heavy Loss Upon
the Japs.
Liaoyang. July 1.-THE recent rec
onnaissance in force made by General
Keller beyond Hoiyan was carried out
with swiftness and decision. The
Russians twice caught the Japanese
mapping and demonstrated the effec-
~tiveness of Russian bayonet work
once the troops get to close quarters.
Count Keller personally accompanied
the force to Hoiyan and from there
sent Colonel Garnetsi, with three COM
panies, to the right toward Tcha-
kumenza, and Colonel Letschitsky,
with two battalions in the direction OF
xaKallnZe.
Colonel Garnetsi's column arrived
at the Japanese camp at midnight July
A. A Japanese picket was surprised
and wiped out after fighting bravely,
one Japanese killing a Russian officer
In a sword duel.
The Russians, without pausing,
swept into the camp, carrying the half
awakened Japanese over the brow of
the hill at the point of the bayonet.
The few who escaped carried the news.
as the result of which on the next day
the Japanese brought up two regiments
and forced a Russian retreat.
Colonel Letschitsky had a very
similar experience. He caught the
Japanese camp asleep at 2 o'clock in
the morning and carried it with the
bayonet after terrible slaughter and
without firing a shot.
The Russians lost heavily on the re-
treat next day, but the reconnaissance
was satisfactory. as it developed the
strength and position of the Japanese
forces.
Colonel Ietschitsky's force marched
over sixteen miles in a single night
carrying the wounded back over q
mountainous road.
Count. Keller is holding the gate
way to Liaoyang.
