st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The decis-
i've battle of the campaign seems to
be in progress. Having completed the
enveloping movement of the Russian
position, General Kuroki has ordered
a simultaneous advance from all
points against Hal Cheng and Lao
Yang. Fighting is raging at both
fronts. The latest reports contain no
thing confirmatory of the rumors that
General KuroDatkin has been defeat
ed According to General Kuropat
kin's report to the Emperor. the bat
tie began for the possession of an
important position at Simou Cheng,
located at the junction of the Feng
Wang Cheng and Su Yen roads. Two
separate armies were launched from
the east above the two roads while
third army under General Oku mov-
ed up east of the railroad from Tia
Tche Kiao to try to cut off the Rus
sian force there from Hal Cheng. If
the latter move is successful this
force will be crushed portion of
General Kuroki's army at the same
time advanced against General Count
Keller's position at Dahavuen east
of Lao Yang, trying the favorite ia
panese plan of Outfianking him On
the right Still further north on the
SaimatZka and Lao Yang road the
Japanese moved forward against
Houtsitze, 25 miles from Liao Yang
At all points the Japanese employed
artillery to the best advantage.
General Kuropatkin's position will
be desperate in the event of his de-
feat The general staff seems utterly
dumbfounded at the number of men
the Japanese possess. The latest re-.
ports from the scene of battle are
that up to last night the Russians
had successfully repulsed the attacks
against Simou Cheng.
ST. Petersburg. Aug. IA remark

from the pen of the well known wri-
ter NJ. Menchikoff, the substance of
which is that Russia has been utiliz-

tured to the American people as
menace to them, thereby emphasiz-
ing the necessity of having bellig-

anese armies have renewed offensive
operations on our southern front. Our
rear guard made an obstinate defense
until the appearance of considerably
superior forces of the enemy, and
then gradually retired in the direc
ton of Hal Cheng. A detachment
near Simou Cheng, fifteen miles south
east of Hal Cheng, successfully with
stood the enemy until three in the
afternoon. The attack was directed
against our right flank, which from
it's position at Khankau pass inflicted
great losses on the Japanese. The
efforts of the Taku Shan army and
of Okus army today are being mainly
directed to cutting off our communi-
cations between Simou Cheng and
Hal Cheng. On our eastern front the
Japanese began the offensive this
morning against our Ikhavuen posi-
ton, the enemys main concentration
being against it's right flank which
was turned The enemy is also acting
on the offensive between Liao Yang

The suggestion of NJ. Souvenir ed
itor of NOvoe Vremya, for the estab
lishment of a responsible cabinet, is
creating much popular comment. Sig
nificance attaches to the freedom with
which the newspapers are discussing
The matter. Souvenir says that the
rivalry between the ministers under
the present system is causing chaos
in the public service.
A further dispatch from General
;<uropatkin dated today says: "All
our positions were retained at Simou
Cheng. when the fighting ceased at
6:45 p. M, July 81, but l have not

aimed all the positions held by our

II Count Keller commanding. having
chosen this as the point from which
% watch the fight. The battery near
aim was exposed 20 heavier fire than
my other, and he was mertally woun-
led at three O'Clock this afternoon.
He died twenty minutes later"
General Keller is the first high Rus
sian military commander to lose his
life in this war. He resigned the high
and lucrative post of governor of Eka-
terinoslaff to go to the front and ex-
changed with General Zassalitch,
who may now resume command of
the first Siberian corps.

derous degree by the attitude she han
taken on the labor situation in Colorado
