London. May General Kurokis
official dispatches. specially tele-
graphed in full from Toxic. give a
clear picture of the sequence of events
though the decisive. result was not
reached till Sunday morning. about
a. m.
The fighting appears to have been
carried on with only short intermis-
sion ever since Tuesday. On the lat
ter day the guards division made a
successful attack on one of the islands
in the Yalu in order to enable the
bridge to be constructed from the
mainland on the left or Japanese bank
so as to shorten the passage to the fur
ther bank Part of the second division
was also placed on this island to be
ready to reinforce guards as soon as
the further bank had been taken.
A long preliminary artillery duel. ac-
cording to a British generals reading
nf the dispatches. now seems to have
taken place. during which the Rus'
slams, firing at great range. did con
siderable mischief both to the works
which were being carried on on the
island and on the mainland.
The Russians appear to have been
densely massed, for we are told that
&c. 900 of the men were concentrated
on four miles of ground. This. then,
was doubtless the situation.
On Sunday morning at dawn the
Russian artillery fire completely sub
dued every point of vantage and
| found the Russian works occupied by
well trained skirmishing forces OF the
Japanese, SO that no Russian could
show his head above the works with
| out being shot. and every Russian ofii
| Ger who showed himself in order to
encourage his men being picked off

With no guns of the enemy any longer
abe to reply to them. this smashing
bombardment was designed to prepare
the way for an infantry assault by
shattering the nerves and breaking
down the defenses of the helpless re-
cipients of this mass of ,lead.
BY quarter past s.. when the gen.
eral artillery bombardment had lasted
Tor about five hours. and as the twen-
ty-five minutes the guns had been
pouring in shells from close range to
which there was and could be no re-
ply, the Japanese infantry closed and
severe fighting took place for just
three quarters of an hour. That was
the time required for the japanese to
storm the works and position and to
occupy the whole line from end TO end.
We know little as yet of the losses
or captures on either side during
these historic events, but eventually
the victory was as complete and decis-
i've as, for the number engaged, it
could be.
