THE CAPTURE OF KIN-cHoU.

BY their latest victory the japanese have
established their superiority to the Rus
slams on land as we'll as on the sea. and
their claim to a place among the best SOL
diers in the world. The battle of Kin-Chou.
as it will be known in history, will rank as
one of the greatest on record, and the
capture Of the place as one OF the most
brilliant exploits OF any war. London
dispatch says: at was. In a way, Water
loo, Gravelotte and Sadowa over again"
Russian engineers are among the most
skillful, and no person questions the stub
born courage of Russian soldiers. To meet
the expected attack OF the japanese po-
sition exceptionally strong by nature had
been strengthened by all kinds OF fortifca-
tons and defenses known to military AIT
The almost unscalable walls of the hills
were surmounted by lines upon lines of for
tihcations. with guns bearing on every
point, and barbed wire fences and mines
obstructing every approach The Russians
considered the place impregnable.
This formidable position. held by large
force of Russians, was first surrounded
by the japanese by series of skillful
slams had every possible advantage of posi-
ton and defenses. The japanese do not
seem to have used siege approaches. rifle
pits or anything of the kind They simply
fought in the open. The battle began 1T $50

sixteen hours. While the darkness lasted
every foot of ground occupied by the Japa-
nese was swept by Russian searchlights.
by which the gunners could fire with the
accuracy of daylight. The Japanese made
until it must have begun to appear to them
that the place was indeed impregnable. BY
final and browning effort they stormed the
place, routed the Russians and drove them
to their next line of defenses. OF course.
all the heavy guns in the Notifications
fell into the hands of the Japanese. The
latter are reported to have lost 1900 men,
but probably this is an exaggerated es-
innate. For obvious reasons the Russian
losses could not have been as great
1t was costly victory to the Japanese
but very important one. 1t places them
within few miles of Port Arthur. prac-
tically completes the investiture Of the
lower part of the peninsula by land as
well as by sea. and apparently insures the
capture of Port Arthur. This, however,
will not be effected without more hard
fighting. Port Arthur is probably more
strongly fortified than was Kin-Chou. and
the Russians Will make a last-ditch de-
ferse. In the siege of Sebastopol, in 1S54-5
they held out for whole year against the
allied forces Of the British and French
infiictng heavy losses on them by repeated
sorties. One might doubt the ability of the
Japanese to capture Port Arthur if they

policy since the capture of Kin-Chou prob
