THREE DAYS FIGHTING.
The Japanese Capture of One Posi
 tion After Another.

Tokio, Sept. Additional details of fighting at Liao Yang which are ar irving here clearly indicate it's desper- ate character. The Japanese have changed the method of numbering their armies since their union, calling Gen eral Kuroki's army, the right, General Nodzu's, the center and General Oku's, the left. A portion of the left column or the right wing, after dislcdging the Russians occupying an eminence north of Hsuchiakou toward the evening on August 20 was exposed to a violent at- tack by endorsements of Russians and retired during the night to a ridge south of Hsuchiakou, where they held teir position. The Russians prepared to follow up their attack, but resisted.
 The right and center of the right wing with its main strength commence ed a movement at II o'clock on the night of August 30, crossing the Taiste river near Lientaowan and advanced toward Huangkufen. It is anticipated that it occupied a line extending from Hanjalazui to Tsu2tuo. but details of the movement have not been reported. The Russian artillery fire against the right column of the Japanese center lessened somewhat yesterday. The in fantry fight continued unabated. The Japanese held their position. The left column of the center was vigorously engaged from Wednesday morning throughout the day, but its efforts to dislodge the Russians failed.
 The right column of the left wing resumed the attack on Wednesday morning. Several assaults proved fu tile and the Japanese troops were driv- en back finally. Being reinforced, they again advanced and secured a posi- tion at noon on an eminence south west of Hsinlintun. This ground prov ed to be a vantage point from which a final and effective charge was de- livered at dawn on Thursday, bringing the first victory.
 The center column after repulsing the Russians in a night attack, press ed the Russians against the railway with a portion of the left column and succeeded in repulsirg a series of as saults. The Russians continued to hold eminence west of Shoushanpao and de- fled all efforts to dislodge them. The eminence was finally taken by storm on Thursday morning.
 The entire left wing with all its force, continued against the Russian line throughout Wednesday. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon. a force of Russians appeared five miles northwest of Shou- shampoo Japanese reserves attacked it. Late Wednesday night q telegram was dispatched to the general staff at Tolxio saying that the left wing with all it's guns would renew the attack and afterward charge against the enemy's position.

RUSSIAN EXPLANATION.
Why kuropatkin Decided to Abandon
 Liao Yang.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 2.-2 a. m.-The news of the evacuation of Liao Yang and the withdrawal of the Russian army to the right bank of the Taitse river reached only a small sec tion of the people of St Petersburg at a late hour and caused intense excite ment and disappointment. A major- ity of inhabitants had retired to rest, believing that the Russian arms had again been successful and that the Japanese attacks had been repelled Ugly suspicious, however, had been rife during the day, owing to the absense of press dispatches from Liao Yang leading to the belief that communica- tions had been cut by General kuroki.
 The following statement was obtain ed by the Associated Press from the war office at 10 o'clock Thursday night: General Kuroki's army cross ed in force to the right bank of the Taitse river and it, therefore, became necessary for the Russians to be in a position to repel blow in this direc- tion. In view of this development in the operations, General Kuropatkin de- cided to abandon his positions on the left bank an to concentrate his whole army on the other side of the river. This position is the strongest both ir character and in site. The great issue will be finally decided there.
 By withdrawing to this position, the Russian army avoids the danger of be- ing divided by the river and enjoys the advantage of compactness. General Kuropatkin's move, therefore, is not to be considered as a retreat, but rath- CT as the carrying out of well defin- ed idea
 The withdrawal of the Russians to the right bank involved an abandon ment of Liao Yang, which is situated on the left flank. The Japanese took advantage of this to occupy the city, but the sternest part of the fighting is still before them, unless General Kuro- patkin decides at the last hour to again fall back to the nOrthward. It is more than likely, however, that he will de- eide to fight to finish. The cards are all in his favor, it is believed. now that he has the Japanese divided by the river, thus turning the tables upon his foe.
 Determined purusit by the Japanese of the Russian outposts when General Kuropatkin gave the first order to withdraw was probably due to their anxiety to keep the Russians south of Liao Yang until General Kuroki should be able to strike from the northeast. General Kuropatkin, however, saw the trap and cleverly avoided it.

around the staff offices, souting Ban zai.'
 The details of todays fighting are scanty. It is cniy known that at dawn today General Oku's army was hurled against the Russian right center on the southern line and that the Russians were forced to abandon their line and positions and retreat. Their pursuit is now in progress. The result of thi5 pursuit and the result of the fierce bat tie waged on the eastern line, where General Kuroki is assailinS the force which had long screened Liao Yang to- gether, with the abandonment of the Russian right center on the southern line exposes the Russian left. But here the Russian force is so heavy that it may possibly be able to protect and eXtricate itself.
 The question of occupation of Liao Yang by the Japanese is in doubt. Of ficial dispatches do not make mention of such occupation, but it is assured that the Russians are withdrawing through Liao Yang and that the Jap anese possibly occupied it late today. Tonight no estimates are obtainable Of the losses on either sIGe. Field Mar shal Oyama describes his losses in the morning assault as heavy. The early success of the attack was somewhat | unexpected on account of strength of | the Russians and the nature of the Russian defenses. It is confidently 1 believed that Field Marshal Oyama will press the pursuit with desperate vigor and inflict on General Kuropatkin the most crushing blow possible.
 It is the opinion here that the Rus | sians were not able to carry many | guns with them and that they were l forced to abandon a vast quantity of l stores.

Thursdays news from the seat of war closed with the receipt of two dis patches giving information of a most significant character as bearing on the domination of Manchuria at the close of the present campaign.
 The first came from the Associated Press correspondent at St Petersburg filed there at 10:15 D. m. and said that General Kuropatkin had withdrawn his whole army to the right bank of the Taitse river so as to meet Gen eral Kurokis flanking movement. The second dispatch stated that Liao Yang had been evacuated, that city lying on the left bank of the river.
 Nothing to confirm this was re- ceived until several hours later, when q dispatch from the Associated Press correspondent at St. Petersburg, dated September and timed at 1:26 Friday morning, said that the news of the evacuation of Liao Yang and the with drawal of the Russian army to the right bank of the Taitse river had caused intense excitement"
 Late Thursday night the St. Peters burg correspondent of the Associated Press obtained an opinion from the war office that the withdrawal to the right bank of the Taitse river became necessary so that the Russians would be able to repel 8 blow in that direc- tion and that General Kuropatkin's s movement was the carrying out of a well defined idea rather than a re- treat. The same dispatch points out with a notable lack of comment that the Japanese took advantage of Gen eTal Kuropatkins withdrawal to oc- cupy the city of Liao Yang.
 Another dispatch which may have a significant bearing on the campaign is that filed at Mukden at 9.27 p. m. Thursday. stating that the train ser vice between Mukden and Liao Yang was interrupted, and it may mean the cutting of railroad communication, which may deprive General Kuropat- kin of an opportunity to retreat to his more northerly base at MukGen. As pointed out in the St. Petersburg dis patch, the Mukden correspondent does not mention whether telegraph com munications are open.
 A dispatch from Tokio filed there at p. m. Thursday, says that popular estimates of the date of the fall of Port Arthur inclined to the last week in September.

RUSSIANS DRAW BACK.
An Anticipation of the Fanking Move.
 ment.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-According to official advices from the front the battle of Liao Yang was not resumed up to 6 o'clock this morning. The battle yesterday was desperate. It ragged continuously from dawn until midnight and the slaughter must have been immense. At o'clock in the evening, after holding outer positions all day the Russians were forced to retire upon the main works of the city.
 Nothing approaching the severity of the artillery and infantry fire has been heretofore experienced in the present war. Bayonet charges succeeded each other in rapid succession and the ar tillery duel never ceased. Kuropatkin' s order to fall back on the Notifications was probably due to Kuroki crossing the Taitse river and turning his left flank.

THE JAPANESE POINT OF VIEW
The Capture of Liao Yang Expected
 Within a Few Hours.

Tokio. Sept. 1@-At daybreak today the Japanese army on the left delivered fierce and successful assault against the heights south of Liao Yang. It pierced the Russian lines and probab- ly later forced the retirement of the Russian troops from their positions on the right and center. Marquis OyaHa telegraphs that his losses in these as- saults were heavy. It is believed here that Kuropatkin has been sweepingly defeated and that the possession of Liao Yang is a matter of a few hours.
