LONDON, Aug. 1.-The correspond
ent of the Times with General Kuroki,
in the field. in d dispatch dated July
81 says:
This army began a general attack
at daylight to-day, which lasted until
sunset The Japanese center took
Toawan, capturing the enemy's north
eastern positions. The left then ad-
vanced and occupied a position Jeop-
ardizlng the Russian right.
THE japanese right carried the
enemys position against superior num-
bers.
I. There was tremendous artillery
firing throughout the day and the in
fantry finished with a brilliant march
under the efemy's shrapneL I believe
that the Russian position will be UNI
tenable tomorrow"
Other British correspondents with
General Kuroki in the field, in brief
dispatches dated July 81, concur In the
statement that the Japanese have car
ried certain positions, leaving only one
defensible position between them and
Liaoyang. The Standard correspondent
says:
1.-THE attack on the position beyond
Molten Pass was fully justified by it's
success. Every. advantage was in favor
of the Russians, whose position was
strong and force superior, but they
showed inferiority in tactics and. in
power of resistance. While they made
a vigorous stand on our left, they were
unable to resist our right"
The Morning Posts correspondent
says:
1.-The Russian force consisted Of three
divisions. The Japanese shelled the. de-
fensive works until 6 o'clock in the
evening. The infantry in the center
then captured Tawan and the enemy's
position. behind and the other positions
on the left and right were afterward
carried by a brilliant assault on the
strongly defended heights"
