London, May 2S.-A Toxic dispatcb
dated May 81, says: The Japanese
army swept the Russians from Kin.
Chow yesterday morning, and in a des.
perate night attack stormed the almost
impregnable position of the Russians
on Nanshan hill, west Of Talienwan
The battlemgedi in the hills all through
the night. The Russians had made
elaborate preparations to check the
Japanese movement south on the Limo.
lung peninsula toward Port Arthur.
They had fortified the high ground
on the south shore of Talienwan bay,
their works extending to the east and
the west. The extreme Russian right
was Mt Hnshangtao and the extreme
left at Nanshan hill. This hill was the
strongest part of the line; series of
batteries, strongly emplaced, crowded
its crest, while rifle pits extended
around its sides. Mineshad been placed
lower down on this hill, and around
the base on the northern and eastern
sides were stretched well-made wire
entnnglements.
Another line of defenscs, also pro-
tected with wire entanglements, ex-
tended from Yen-Chia-Tung near the
head of Talienwan bay, duo north of
Liu-Chia-Tien. which lies south of Kin
Chow. The Russians apparently at
tempted to draw the japanese attack
last Saturday. forthc batteries opened
fire slowly on the enemy on that day.
The Japanese, however, refused to be
drawn until the positions of the Rus
slams, their guns and their strength
had been fully developed.
