DESPERATE FIGHTING
kAsHTALlNSkY'S TROOPS COM
PEELED TO USE BAYONETS
ON THE JAPS.

st. Petersburg, May 9.-The emperor
has received a dispatch from General
Kuropatkin, giving the report of Gen
the battle of Kieuliencheng. The re-
port states that General Kashtalinsky
was injured in the head by a stone.
The brunt of the fighting. General
Zassalitch says, was borne by the
Eleventh and Twelfth rifle regiments
and the TMenty-second regiment. The
fighting was so desperate that the Rus
sian regiments YER obliged to make
several counter attacks and to cut a
way for themselves with the bayonet
against the enemy, who was five times
stronger than the Russians and sup
ported by very artillery.
In this fight, so terrible, but glorious
for the Eleventh and Twelfth regi-
ments, the losses entailed were 4 Off
GERS, including the commander of the
Eleventh, and 4S1 noncommissioned
officers and men. The wounded were
l officer and sol noncommissioned Off
GERS and men and chaplain, while 700
others we're left on the field.
General Z~assalitch confirms the re-
ports of the enormous mortality
among the artillery positions, and con.
cludes the report as follows:
"Our losses on April 80 and May l
altogether amounted to 70 superior
and subaltern officers and 1924 killed,
wounded or taken prisoners. OF this
total 1851 were left on the battlefield,
but it is not known that they were
killed or wounded.
"In consequence of the heavy losses
in men and battery horses and the diff
flculties encountered in the roadless
country, it was absolutely impossible
to bring away the guns and machine
pins"

AI4EXIEFF GOT HURT
vICEROY OF THE FAR EAST WAS
WOUNDED BEFORE HE LEFT
PORT ARTHUR,
3

Newchwang, May 9.-There is
every indication that the Russians
have decided to evacuate Newchwang.
Troops have been leaving here stead
lily. Forts have been dismantled and
all artillery has been placed on board
trains. All the local transportation
has been Communicated by the Russian
authorities.
There is current here a native rumor
that Japanese troops are in Foochow
bay, on the west side of the Liaotung
peninsula, and about sixty miles north
of Port Arthur, but this reports lacks
confirmation.
The fear is held here that if the
Russians leave and the Japanese do
not at once take possession of New
chwang the brigands, who are now
across the river neal Yinkow, will pill
age the place. The foreign residents
are preparing to risist the brigands
should they come over. The British
consul has requested that a gunboat
be sent to Newchwang.
b Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving.
The vessel is at Newchwang.
Japanese troops fired on what prob
ably was the last train out of Port Ar
thur, as it passed near Port Adams.
They used artillery and small arms and
killed or wounded several Chinese.
1t is reported here that Viceroy
Alexief was slightly wounded prior to
his departure from Port Arthur. He
barely escaped from there before the
Japanese closed the lines Of commune
cation.
The Russian general staff have
moved from Liaoyang to Mukden.
Russians here will not talk of the
situation for fear they may impart
some information. They do not con-
slider that their forces here are sufi-
cient to hold this section of the coun-
try. It is probable that the Russian
troops will withdraw to Hardin.
The Russian civilians at New
chwang are leaving hurriedly and
many natives are fleeing the city in
fear that they will be subjected to NAL
treatment at the hands of the brigands.

London, May 9.-The Morning
Posts Shanghai correspondent reports
that Dalny was captured Friday, while
the Toxic correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, cabling under date of Sun
day, says:
"Dalny was invested yesterday"
Dalny is Russ1a's commercial sea-
port on the Yellow sea. It is about
twenty-five miles northeast Of Port Ar
thur, and at last accounts was gar
risoned by a small number OF troops.
Its capture must add to Port Arthur's
danger. Dalny was built almost In
a year, to be the eastern terminus Of
the transsiber1an railway.
The Daily Mails correspondent at
Newchwang, in a dispatch dated May
s, says:
Yesterday most OF the Russian
troops retired to Tashihchao and dur
ing the night most of the guns were
removed from the fort and sent to
Liaoyang, where all the Russian forces
are concentrating. A conference of
the civil and military authorities was
held this afternoon and it was decided
to prepare to leave at a moments no
tice."
Vague rumors of further fighting in
the vicinity Of Fenghuancheng are in
circulation.
A dispatch from Shanhaikwan says
1t is believed that Viceroy Alexieff
and Grand Duke Boris are still in Port
Arthur.

OFFICIAL DISPATCHES MERELY
ADD TO THE DEEP GLOOM IN
ST. PETERSBURG.
CAPTURED
JAPS OCCUPY THE PLACE AFTER
THE RUSSIANS HAD BEGUN
THEIR RETREAT.

st. Petersburg, May 9.-Two official
dispatches calculated to increase the
depression existing among all circles
in Russia were given out last night.
From the point Of view of the progress
OF the campaign the most 111portant is
that regarding the Capture by the
Japanese without opposition CT Feng-
huancheng on May 6. The second
gives details concerning the killed,
wounded and missing among the
troops under the command Of General
Zassalitch, as the result Of the fighting
on the Yalu, the number OF which to-
tails 1897 officers and men.
General kuropatkin forwarded a
message from General Zassalitch, who
had been left in command OF the col
umn retiring from Fenghuancheug,
which described the movements Of the
enemy in connection with the Occupa-
ton Of the town.
The information caused no surprise
10 the officials, who had already been
advised Of the decision that no at
tempt would be made to hold Feng-
huancheng, the superiority Of the Japa-
nese il all fighting arms ~insuring q
disaster similar to that at Kiulien-
cheng. Therefore General Zassalitch
was given strict orders that there
should be no fight of the "a guard.
The Russians left while General
kuroki was making dispositions for q
big battle
Plan Thoughtfu!iy Prepared.
The Japanese approached from two
directions along the main road and up
the valley, placing batteries so as to
command the town. This procedure
on the part of General Kuroh shows
that the entire Japanese plan OF opera
ton had been thoughtfully prepared
and that every division commander
knew exactly what he should do.
Now that General Kuroki is estab-l
lished at Fenghuancheng, the Russians
are puzzled Al to what nov he will
make next. The fact that he sent two
companies to Daliandiaputse, ten miles
northeast of Fenghuancheng, might
indicate his purpose to proceed along
this road to Ti~ngchangien, ninety miles
north, from where he would march due
west to Liaoyang.
This would permit an effective flank
ing movement, but it is considered
probable, the likelihood being that he
will move along the road by which the.
Russians retreated toward Liaoyang.
This road branches off at Chatschang,
twenty miles westward Of Fenghuan-
cheng, and continues almost directly
west of Haicheng, which vas captured
by the Japanese during the Chino
Japanese war. A march on this place
would compel the evacuation OF New
chWang, as the force there would be
in danger of destruction or of being
subjected to a sic-e by the armies
coverging from Haicheng and the
southern part of the Liaotung penin-
sula.

RUSSIAN TACTICS CRUDE.

While the Japs Are Strictly Alive to
Modern Methods.
London, May 9.-Under date Of May
3, the Times Antung correspondent
says:
"The Russian defeat on the Yalu
was due primarily to their p%erfunctory,
o~fd-fashioned methods, and the Japa-
nese success must be attributed to
their perfect acquaintance with mod
ern conditions, to their skill and intel
psychological moment on the weak
point in the Russian line. In morale
the Japanese soldiers are equal and
possible superior to European troops"
