This Sounds Fishy.

Lao Yang, July 29.-Further de
tails of the fighting below Ia Tche
Kiao on July % and "a indicate that
the Japanese losses may reach five
thousand men. The Russian losses
are officially given as seven hundred.
The Japanese assaults were repeat
edly repulsed. The Russians made
several brilliant bayonet charges. For
the first time the Russian artillery
was used in high angle fire from be-
hind the hill, the fire being directed
by telephone from an eminence and
attaining great precision. The Rus
slams did not retire until it was es-
tabfished that the Japanese had sew
eral divisions.
The Russian forces are now con-
centrated at Hal Cheng and probably
will not retire farther. 1t is now ex-
pected that the Japanese will ad-
vance against the left flank of the
Russian southern army.
