Russians Defeated in Two En-
gagements -Sybet Pass and
Kiao-tung.

Iiao-yang, July 23.-The Japanese
have left only two divisions at Kai-
chau. These are strongly entrenched
and on the defensive.
Other Japanese troops formerly at
Kai-chau were embarked on trans
ports for the vicinity Of Port Arthur.
The capture of that stronghold has
become Il vital question for the Jap
anesc. They have been able hitherto
to adopt the offensive, but they realize
that General KuropatlSin himself will
be prepared soon to take the offensive
and forsee that they must have a
strong naval base. Port Arthur is the
key to all Japanese operations.
