No cause can be assigned for the

JAP VICTORY DUE TO CHARGES
Carried Nanshan Hill After Nine Des-

perate Rushes.
Toxic, May 30.-The brilliant Wis
tory achieved by the japanese army
at Kin Chou was due to the desperate
charging of the infantry who showed
wonderful bravery in storming Nan
shan Hill.
Nine successive times the japanese
charged the fortified heights in the face
Of stOrmof death dealing missiles, and
in their last effort they carried the forts
and trenches only after a bayonet to
bayonet conflict with the Russians. who
made desperate, despairing struggle |
to beat back the Oncoming hOrdes
At critical moment the ammunition |
of the artillery ran low, and it was de- !
cided to cast the remaining ammuni- !
tion into one final desperate assault. |
Fortunately, however, at the moment |
| this decision was reached the Japanese
squadron in Kinchou Bay, which had
ceased bombarding when the infantry
had first moved forward, suddenly re-
sumed the shelling Of Nanshan Hill
Then it was that the issues of the
day were determined at a moment when
the outcome was futtering between
success and defeat for Japan-at that
moment was an almost certain repulse
converted into victory SC successful
that the forces of the czar were swept
into confusion and disorderly retreat.
With every Japanese gun centering its
fire upon the Nanshan forts and
trenches, the Japanese infantry sprang
over the bodies of the dead comrades
who had sacrificed their lives in the
previous fruitless charges. The entire
line rushed forward toward the Russian
left where the fire Of the Japanese
squadron had proved most deadly and
which was the first to weaken under
the deathdealing bombardment. And
it was there that the first breach was
made in the human ston2 wall that all
