Victory for Kuroh.
Toxic, July 23.-Gen. Kuroki, after
q severe fight, occupied Kiaotung only
July 10. The place had been fortified
by the Russians, who defended it stout
ly. In the fighting Gen. Kuroki's troops
drove the Russians from their strongly
fortified position on the Chi river,
which is northwest Of Molten pass and
east of Anping, inflicting upon the en-
envy more serious losses than they sus-
tanned themselves. The fight began on
the 18th and ended on the 18th. The
Japanese lost 424 men in killed and
wounded. The Russian losses are esti-
mated at 1000.

Sunday morning, heavy fog yelling
their movements, two divisions of Rus
slams, commanded by Lieut. Gen. KEEL
Ter, made an assault on the Japanese
positions at Molten pass. Gen. Kureki
adds that the Russians assailed all the
Japanese positions at Molten pass and in
its vicinity desperately. The japanese
resisted stubbornly, repulsed the Rus
slams and pursued them for consider
able distance westward. Kuroki In his
report praises the valor Of his men. )
Fixes Loss at 1900.
Gen. Kuroki's Headquarters In
the Field (via Fusan), July 20.-More
Russian troops were engaged In Sun
days battle at Molten pass than In
previous engagements. There were
probably double the number of those
which took part in the fight at Yalu
river, while opposed to them were only
one brigade and one battalion of the
japanese forces. The Russian loss is
estimated at 1000. The burial Of the
dead continues. The Japanese casual
ties aggregated 300. The engagement
has conspicuously demonstrated the
wonderful efficiency of the japanese in
fantry. They proved incomparably the
better marksmen, more initiative and
they outfought and outgeqeraled the
Russians on every point.
