Washington, d. c., Aug. 2.-The
Japanese legation has received the
following telegram from the foreign
Office at Toxic, dated today: "Gener-
al Kuroki reports that at day-break
on July 31st our army commenced OPP
erations for attacking the enemy, ap-
preaching Yushulintzu, flour miles
west of Hal Hoyf) and Yangtzulong,
(six miles west of Tien Ling) both
from Lao Yang The enemy at Yu-
4 shulintzu consisted of two divisions
with corresponding artillery. By sun
set we defeated both: wings of the
enemy, but owing to their large force
and strong position we were unable
to dislodge them entirely. AT day
break August 1st, we resumed the
attack and succeeded in expelling the
enemy at noon pursuing them four
miles in westward direction.
The enemy at Yangtseuling consis-
ted of two and half divisions and
xyfour batteries of artillery. The attack
ing operations were also successful
there. and by sunsef~we carried the
enemys principal positions. At day
break, August 1st. we resumed the
attack. and at eight o'clock all the
heights fell into our hands. The en-
emy fed toward Tang Hoyen. The
casualties are under Investigation"
st. Petersburg, Aug 2.-AH the mil
= itary critics here this morning take
the view that the decisive moment
of the campaign has arrived. The ar
my organ says that General Kuroki
has prepared for his advance by the
drawing of all his forces closer. They
we're scattered over front OF forty
miles. The paper says that it is evi-
dent a large Japanese force is work
along the Saimatza Lao Lang line.
IL expresses doubt, however, which
advance the enemy will push home
and whether it is Kuroki's intention

Lao Yang
Rossia says: The decisives NOM
.ent has arrived. but Judging from the
latest reports, the Russians have re-
tanned their positions and this time
it will not be an order to retreat.
The feeling at the war Office was
distinctly gloomy this morning. No
official kilograms were received by
the general stan from General Kuro-
patkin but from private sources from
the front it was apparent that Simou
Cheng, fifteen miles southeast OF Hal
Cheng, had been lost, the Russian
outpost having fallen back to Hal
Cheng. In view OF the inability of the
Russians to hold Simou Cheng it is
considered unlikely fi1af Generals

Vladivostock, Aug. 2.-The Vladi-

yesterday afternoon in perfect condi-
ton. They captured in their cruise
the steamer Arabia and destroyed
some schooners, a small Japanese
steamer, one German steamer and
one British steamer. The last two
mentioned were carrying contraband
material and had nearly reached
their destination, Yokohama, but
they were almost without coal, so it
was impossible to send them to Via
livestock. This is the first intimation
of any foreign steamer other than
the Knight Commander being sunk.
