THE SECOND DAYS BATTLE.
Russians RcpuIscd Advances by Bayon.
ct Chargcs--Rain ut Night.

Liao-Yang, Aug. 31.-The Second days
battle commenced at dawn. The Rus
slams made repeated bayonet advances
on the road directly south of Liao-Yang,
where the japanese approached from San
quaiship and Tao, sheling the positions
in the Russian lines until four in the af-
tornoon, when the engagement which was
general throughout the south and south
cast. narrowed to the main line. The
japanese advance on the southeast was
by way of the Feng Wang Cheng road.
Immediately in front of Chiaofantum
the Japanese stubbornly attempted to oc-
cupy round-topped hill, which was lib
orally shaved by Russian shells, making
repeated attempts the entire day where
apparently it was impossible for any
thing to live. The cannonading contin-
ued from this point to the vicinity OF
Wangpaotai until this evening without
apparent advantage to either side.
The Japanese dropped shells wit hin two
or three miles of the railroad station and
in the plain of Wentshu mountain, which
is the most important emnence around
Lao-Yang, but the japanese abandoned
aggression there OH account Of the resist
ance they met.
There was considerable firing last night.
! The varied casualties here include one
/ Russian war correspondent wounded and
also - Chinese women from Chiofantun,
whom Dr. Wcstwater, the distinguished
missionary, is caring for in the Chinese
Red Cross refuge.
The days development show that tho
russians ar" prepared for all emergen-

TENSION AT ST. PETERSBURG
Believed Battle of LiaO-Yang Means the
Crushing Defeat of One Side
or the other.

St Petersburg. Sept. 1.-12:oo a. M
With the knowledge that the Russian
and japanese armies about Lao-Yang |
are locked in a death struggle. the ten
sion in st. Petersburg tonight Is |
strained to the utmost. 1t is believed |
here that the fight cannot stop short of |
the crushing defeat of one side or the |
other.
All reports so far are favorable to
the Russians, though the suspension OF |
all news for many hours has been eX-
ceedingly trying and has given rise to
several rumors. somewhat tempering
the earlier enthusiasm.
IT is stated officially. however, that
the report that the railway and the
telegraph have been cut north Of Lao
Yang is untrue. \ member of the
general staff said to the Associated
Press at midnight;
Il can assure you that up to this
hour communication with Lao Yang
has not been interrupted. General
Kuropatkin has taken particular pre-
cautions against any attempt to cut the
railway while it is always possible
that a small raiding party might slip
through the Russian patrols or that
hired Chinese bandits might cut the
telegraph. it is a fair supposition, in
view of all the facts that this has not
been done
The highest military authorities here
consider that the most critical stage OF
the battle has not yet been reached.
and they believe that the fight may
continue for some time before either
side acknowledges defeat. This is an
important consideration by the light
of which to interpret any Immediate
news.
1t is thought here that, in sview OF
the numbers engaged the desperateress
!, Ia.
line, about seven miles, the losses in
the two days lighting cannot fall short
of 10000 on each side.
Both sides are straininG every nerve.
| realizing that the fortunes of war for
a whole year are in the scale, ana
| neither side is inthe mood or position
| to spare men in the effort to achieve IL
| final victory.
MOST SANCTUARY BATTLE
The battle of Liao-Yang will probably
| rank as one of the great sanGuiutrN
| battles of history. 1t j. estimated ny
| the general staff that the japanese
! army engaged numbers !, divisions "i
| $1,000 men each, or, allowing Tor m
efficients, about 94O. 600 mon. Each dl-
| vision has 80 guns and there are two
independent artillery hrigad'S OF lPU
gums each, making a total OF about SUI
guns The estimates Of Russian cor
respondents range at from 500 to lV"V
guns per side.
In the preliminary hghtlng or NOM
| day, the Russians captured zoo prison.
ors, who have already arrived Al ilar-
bin. and report persists that theN cap

General Kuropatkin'S effective FORCES
are variously estimated as from 10000
to 100000 men
