but to impede and harass the Japanese as
much as possible. He stationed 10000
men, under General Zassalitch, on the
heights of Kulien Cheng and when. the
Japanese reached that position May 1 a
battle was fought. The Russians were de-
feated and withdrew to eng-Wang-Cheng
losing 1887 men, according to their official
reports, while the Japanese put their loss
at 800. $50
1t was supposed that the Russians would
make another stand at ng-Wang-Cheng,
but they soon abandoned that place also,
disclosing the fact that General Kuropat-
kin's real plan was to withdraw into Man
churfa and avoid giving battle in force
until large reinforcements could reach him
from Russia. The present Japanese force
in southern Manchuria is estimated at
10000 men, while the Russians probably
have not more than 100000.
The Russian retreat from Feng Wang
Cheng was in the direction of Lao Yang,
strong natural position on the Siberian
railroad. General Kuroki has continued
his advance, until he is now close to Lao
Yeng. besides having thrown out a force
on his left wing toward Sin Yen and Hal
Cheng, while his right wing is threatening
Mukden. 1t is reported that battle at or
near Lao Yang Is imminent, but from other
quarters come statements that General Ku-
ropatkin's real design is to retreat north
Of Mukden, waiting until late in the sum-
mer, by which time he will have received
heavy reinforcements. and then taking the
offensive.
The most striking sign Of Russian weak
ness has been the evacuation of Niuchwang
which Is just completed. That important
city will serve as an additional base for the
invaders. A Japanese army of about 10000
men has been landed at Kai Chow, twenty
miles south OF Yin Kow, the port of Niu-
chwang, and will march northward.
The campaign of the Japanese on the
Liaotung peninsula began with the landing
of large forces at Pttsewo and Port Adams.
