CLOSE AT LlAU-YANG
Narrative of the Last Fight aud
the Retreat

LIAU-YANG, Sept 4, via Tien Tsin,
Sept. 10.-The Japanese at 8 o'clock
yesterday evening discovered that the
at IL o'clock they sent scouting parties
to the southern and western walls of
the city. At o'clock this morning the
troops Of the victorious army quietly
entered and occupied Liau-yang, Gen.
Kuropatkin's former base and strong
hold. This success was achieved after
five days of glorious fighting.
After Gen. Kuroki had noted the
march of the Tenth Russian army
corps, which he had driven in from
the Anping road to the plain, on it's
way to join the Russian center, which
Gen. Nodzu had forced in from Kae-
fengshi, he divided his forces stationed
in the Anping and Fengwangcheng
roads. He took care to have a suffi-
GENTLY strong force on the Fengwang-
cheng road in Gen. Nodzu's extreme
right and sent to Gen. Nodzu, who was
pushing with the Japanese center army
along the Mengchiafang and South
roads, one brigade to Mengchiafang,
three regiments to Chiaofantun and
Il
Kuroki in the meantime waited with
two divisions ON the south bank of the
TaitSe river. ~ 1913,
On Aug. 90 the artillery under Gen.
Nodzu bombarded fiercely the three
hills of Chiaofantun. On the same day
Gen. Oku. in command of the Japanese
left army, working his way with rifle
fire and artillery slowly advanced
along the railroad in spite of the Rus
moi cri, I,<,r-i -ap1fs
vations and Notifications. The left
army thus moved toward Shusan. The
Russian cavalry was not able to locate
the Japanese trenches on this advance.
Guns Close to Each Other
The character of the Japanese adj
vance apparently had served as a
warning to Gen. Kuropatkin to make
sure of his retreat and his transport
was at once seen moving rapidly out
OF L1au-yang over the railroad bridge
On Aug. 80 the Japanese closed in on
the Russians in their mountain posi-
ton at Chiafantun. Here the guns
were SO close to each other that it was
almost possible for the battery COM
manders to see each others spectacles.
tacles.
AT 10 O'Clock the morning of the Goth
Gen. kuropatkln's staff moved out of
Llau-yang- At the same time rifle fire
was heard drawing nearer to the rail-
road station and this was an indication
of the sure advance of the Japanese left
army. The fences around all the house
at Liau-yang had been removed in
order to facilitate the movement of
wagons and troops. Wounded men, of
whom none were seen on the 29th.
We're trailing along the roads from the
south and southwest into Liau-yans

who were in Liau-yang were taken
north under escort. The correspondent
noticed on this morning an unbrolSen
line of ammunition wagons and bat

using the railroad- bridge to get out of
Liau-yang to the north.
kuroLi Makes a Dash
1t became known that Gen. KurolSi
was making dash around the Rus
sian left for the railroad at point fif-
teen miles north of here. He crossed
the Taitse river the night of Aug. 80
and took the splendid Russian defenses
at Penaihu with very little effort. He
continued to advance steadily and
turned the Russian left. His army
covered fifteen miles in quick time.
The effect of its presence and move
ments was to force the Russians to
leave Liau-yang and retire in the di-
rection of the coal mines east of Y en-
tai. He threatened to cut Gen. Kuro-
patk1n'S army OF seven corps in two.
