GREAT BATTLE AND JAP

Win, May 10.--via Seoul May s.
When the early mist drifted from the
Yalu river this morning the Japanese
infantry was disclosed lined up for
battle on the low, sandy island OF Kin

and towers of the city on the hill
were crowded with Japanese and Co.

attack.

Firing Commenced Across River.
Four field batteries were behind
the infantry on its extreme TANKS,
concealed by shrubbery. Two bat,
teries began action by throwing
shells to the Manchuran side of the
river for half an hour. while the sun
was rising They sprinkled with
shells the entertainments whence the
Russian guns had been firing for the
past week. but no response to their
fire was forthcoming and it looked
as if the Russians had removed their
batteries during the night. It
seemed as if the enemy had with
drawn entirely, as no signs of life
could be seen on their works.
Russians Fire and Retreat
Sooa after o'clock the Japanese
began to advance The Japanese
troops spread out in extended forma,

few hundred yards from the hills on
the Manchurian side they threw
themselves on the ground and began
volleying. Meantime the Japanese
batteries searched the hills with
shrapnel The Russians now could
be seen at intervals where the road
was exposed, hurrying in small
squads along the hills. These OK.

A fierce fire was concentrated on

the earth and scattered quantities OF

until the first japanese line was
within a few hundred yards OF the
river bank. Then sharp voIleys
burst almost simultaneously from
several trenches. and the attacking
Japanese founa themselves under
heavy and continuous fire. at easy
