EN-DETAiL OF FOUR

Chefoo. Sept 1T is now apparent
that the heavy fighting reported by
numerous Chinese refugees as having
occurred before Port Arthur between
August 9th and 31st occurred chiefs
, on the first two days mentioned. the
Japanese thereafter directing their ef.
forts almost entirely to holding the
positions they had obtained. That
these positions were OF considerable
Importance Is evidenced by the fact
that the Russians risked the lives of
valuable men in open fighting In their
efforts to dislodge the japanese from
them.
As has been previously reported In
these dispatches. the japanese troop I
retired from nearly all points on the
morning Of August 3lst. The Noyi.

the Russians captured some trencn.

Another accommodating party found
the japanese vanguard trenches al
Shushiyen to be- unoccupied. The
Russians remained In the trenches
awhile, and presently discovered 4
company of japanese troops. There
was an exchange OF rife fire. during
which a number OF the Japanese, WIN
had been surprised. were killed. The
remainder retired.
A copy OF the Port Arthur Noyikrai
dated August 3lst. publishes detached
incidents of the fighting of August Goth
and 3Oth. on the Russian east flank. On
the evening OF the Goth the Japancs,
opened a heavy fire from Fort No 3
and other points. directing their larg
err guns chiefly at the Russian posi-.
tions on hill called the Small Eagles
Nest At Shushiyen the Japanese re
moved the roofs from Number OF
Chinese houses. strongly constructed
OF mud and stone. and converted them
into excellent redoubts. At . O'Clock
on the evening OF the Goth a Russian
regiment made sudden onslaught on
the japanese trenches, and at the
point OF the bayonet the Japanese were
forced back to Redoubt No. 2. The
Russians were unable to proceed far
ther than this redoubt, because OF tho
fierce fire poured In upon them by the
Japanese. According to comment
made bythe Novikrai this redoubt had
evidently been greatly strengthened
during the previous night.

The EXPECTED VICTORY

st. Petersburg, Sept. Although
General Kuropatkin has had the best
of the first two days battle at Lao
yang, the suspense here Is intense
over the final issue of the Titanic
struggle. In view of the number ol
men and guns engaged, the carnage
doubtless will be great on both sides
The figures now are that half mil
lion men with about 1900 guns are
fighting for the mastery. The crisis 4,
expected today. The public Is so hun
cry for news from official sources that
the failure to give out advices last
night is interpreted ominously In
some quarters, but is explainable by
the theory that General Kuropatkin Is
too busy In the midst of the giganti,
battle to prepare reports for publica
ton, his reports to the Emperor con
tanning strategic Information which
cannot be published.
The meager advlces received make
II plain that the Japanese are trying 10

After opening with shrapnel. the
japanese infantry advanced in arc
shaped formation. Massing at every
convenient point of shelter, they sooil
reached the foot Of the mountain
though the angle OF the slope afforded
protection. From a hill opposite

forward, now by twos and threes. now
In long lines, as the japanese crept
from point to point. Then q heavy
fusillade began. The Japanese tore
off their coats In order to facilitate
their movements, thus presenting
splendid white marks to the enemy
THE gunners experienced difficulty
at first in getting the range. Soon,
however, smoke and flames showed
where the opposing batteries wee

tain guns daringly advanced on the

oealing themselves in the corn. Their
fire in the midst Of the Russian
trenches caused the Russian fire mo-
mentarlly to waver. Then II was rc

1t was ..e beginning OF the end.
Some Japanese crept around and,
wrissling through the corn, burst I'M.

was bloody light. Then. as though

Interesting History of a Man Who Has
Been Near Death Many Times-Made
Prisoner at Battle of Cedar Creek.
While operating buzz-saw in NAL.
leable iron foundry ut Troy, Henry
Simons, a member Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, was suddenly stricken
with vertigo and fell almost upon the
the swiftly revolving saw. But the same
good fortune that carried him unwounded
through four years Of active service du-
ring the Civil war again preserved his
life. While serving in Co. H, Twelfth
Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, during
the campaign in the Shenandoah Valley
made famous by Sheridan's ride, he had
been captured by the Confederates at
the battle Of Cedar Greek, and confined
in Libby prison for months before he
wns finally exchanged The sudden ILL
ness which brought him SO near an
awful death was the direct result of his
war experience, as Mr. Simons stated to
n reporter who called at his comfortable
home Mt No. Linden avenue, Troy, N Y.
Ever since the campaign OF New Or
leans in 1861" he said, II have been af.
flicted with malaria and frequent attacks
of acute gastritis, brought on by constant
exposure and the malarial atmosphere of
the bayou country. At times l was sub

seizure of this kind that nearly ended
