Il suffered for q number Of years with
kidney complaint. There was q dull
aching across the small Of my back
that was worse at night and
made me feel miserable all the time.
The kidney secretlons were dark and
full Of sediment, and lack Of control

Enemy Driven From The Stronghold By
General 0ku.
the PLAN WAS A SUCCESS.
II Is Almost Impossible To Trans.
port Trains Through The Country,
And It Is Becoming Question How
To Provision Troops.

Toxic, July 29.-In a daring night
attack against a Russian force esti-
mated at five divisions with one hun.
dred guns, General Oku succeeded In
driving the enemy from their strong
line of defenses south Of Ia Tche
Kiao. Advancing, General Oku found
q superior force confronting him and
I THAT heavy artillery fire from the en-.
emy was checking his men. He
\thereupon decided to hold the posi-.
Hions he then held and attempt a
night surprise. This was successful,
the Japanese troops hustling the Rus
SLAMS into retreat to Ia Tche Kiao.
The Japanese had only 800 casual
ties. No estimate Of the Russian losses
Is given.
The Takushan army did not partici-
pate In this fight 1t being located to
the east Of Ia Tche Kiao. Moving
to the northward this Takushan force
fought and won a separate action on
Friday, July %, at Panling, losing 81
men. The commander of the Takush.
an army charged that the Russians
violated the Japanese flag, which they
hoisted in an attempt to deceive the
Japanese, after which they fired a
volley into the Japanese ranks. The
Russians left IA dead at Panling.
The Japanese began the advance
against the Russian positions south
Of Ia Tche Kiao on July 20. On this
date the vanguard occupied positions

southeast Of Ia Tche Kiao, develop.

point was at Tai Ping mountain, to
the southeast Of Ia Tche Ktao, (and

RUSSIANS ARE CARELESS.
Much Sickness Due To Neglect OF
Sanitary Precautions.

General Kuroki's Headquarters in
the Field, via Fusan, July 29.-Re.
ports from the Russian lines agree
that much fever and dysentary exist
among the soldiers. It Is the opinion
that much Of the sickness Is caused
from neglect Of sanitary precautions
in the Chinese towns occupied.
The first work Of the Japanese upon
entering towns which the Russians
have abandoned is thoroughly to clean
the streets and houses, Many of the
houses are found in most filthy con.
dition, and are infested with swarms
Of flies. The report that a number Of
Russian guns were captured on July
10 is untrue.

ously with the advance from the south
the Japanese from the north have
pressed forward toward the west, as
If to strike the railroad south Of
Mukden. But the move is not made
by heavy force, so far as is known,
and 1t is thought scarcely possible
that the japanese would dare to ex.
tend such line, leaving the troops
on the Russian left in a position to
flank them.
Notwithstanding the prophecies Of
some of the Manchurian weather ex-
perts, there is only a light rainy sea-
son this year. Rain is falling every
where, however, and several Of the
rivers are overfowing. The question
Of provisioning the troops will soon
have to be faced by the Japanese, as
the movement Of transport trains
through the country is already al.
most impossible.
