JlPs make BRAVE
BAY0NET CHARGE
Capture Nanshan Hill After
Repeated Attacks Under
Deadly Fire.
ALL NIGHT, ALL DAY BATTLE
Estimates Of the Losses Put as
High as $4,000.

Tokio.-1n a battle lasting two days
the Japanese second army, under COM
mand Of General Oku, captured all the
heights south of Kin Chow and also
the so-called impregnable Nanshan hill
the fortified gateway at the neck of
Port Arthur, commanding not only the
entrance to that fortress, but dominat-
ing Talienwan Bay and the land forts
on the heights of Port Dalny.
The story of the battle sent to Toxic,
in rather complete form, while disclOs-
ing the tremendous fighting ability of
the japanese against a we'll intrenched
army, is first of all important in the
fact that its result now closes in Port
Arthur absolutely from the land and
gives to the Japanese the chain of hills
running twenty miles north, which they
can proceed to fortify, preventing any
relief from coming to the invested
fortress.
The most severe fighting was shortly
before dark, the Japanese ascending
terrace after terrace against barbed
wire entanglements, hidden mines,
rapid-firing guns and other obstacles.
Their loss must have been exceedingly
heavy up to the time they got into
hand-to-hand conflict with the Russian
infantry; but after that period the Rus
clans were moved down, so Admiral
Togo's report says, and sent in great
disorder against the southerly slope.
Of almost as much interest is the
admission of General Kuropatkin in a
message to the Emperor that General
Kurok1's forces have been suddenly
advancing and that at every point
reconnoitred by the Cossack scouts
the Japanese have been found in in.

Thrilling Account of the Battle.

Tokio.-After what was probably the
severest land fighting Of the campaign,
the second japanese army, under CON-
mand of General Oku, drove the Rus
slams cut of Kin Chow and followed up
its victory by driving the enemy back
upon Port Arthur.
All the reports indicate that the fight
Ing was of the most desperate charac-
ter. The Russian resistance was as
logged and desperate as was the Jap
anese attack.
The Russians had devoted great eff
forts to preparing to check the advance
of the Japanese southwark. Mines
were laid on the lower slopes and
barbed wire entanglements were placed
around the northern and eastern hill
bases. Another line of defense, SINH
larly protected by barbed wire. ex-
tended from Yenchiatun, near the
head of Talienwan Bay, northward to
Tinchiatien, which is south of Kin
Chow. A strong force of Russian in
infantry and artillery held Kin Chow.
They had fortified the heights on the
south shore of Talienwan Bay, both
to the east and west. Their extreme
right rested On Hushangtao, and their
extreme left on Nanshan hill. the latter
being the strongest point of the whole
fne. A series of batteries strongly m
place crowned the crest Of the hill,
and there were rife pits extending
around the sides.
The Japanese first occupied the line
Of bills east of Chin Chow. This posi-
ton formed almost an exact right
angle, it's southern front facing Talien-
wan, it's western Kin Chow. and its
apex at the village of Chiulichan. Its
extreme right was at C~henshiatien,
which is almost due north of Chiuli-
chan, and its extreme left at CHAT
zuho, which is due east of Chiulichan.
The attacking army assembled in
complete security back of this angle.
The Russians apparently tried to draw
the Japanese attack. Their batteries
slowly opened fire, but the Japanese re-
fused to be drawn until the exact
strength of the Russian positions and
their artillery was revealed.
The japanese then began a series of
careful reconnoissances, working their
way close enough to the Russian po-
s1tion to draw the fire of their artil-
lery, thus securing fragments of shells,
which enabled them to ascertain the
calibre of the Russian guns.
They found that the Nanshan Hill
batteries included four howitzers of
about fifteen centimetres, ten old
patterned cannon of between nineteen
and fifteen centimetres, and two quick
firing guns of twelve centimetres.
They also discovered a number Of en-
placements facing the northeast, but
We're unable to learn the number of
guns in them. These guns developed
q range of $500 metres.
Eight heavy guns near Hushantao,
on the Russian right, were also dis
covered. There was another strong
position on a hill to the south of Nan
shan Hill, with a series of shelter
trenches.
On the shores of falienwan Bay.
near it's head, the Russians had estab-
lished a series of positions with search
lights, which played nightly upon the
angle of the Japanese position.
Further reconnoissances showed a
line of defense west of Liuchiatien. ex-

bles. There was some little uncer-
tainty as to the extent of the damage
done to the early crops by the severe
frosts during April, but that uncer-
tainty seems to be wearing away. In
dications throughout this section are
favorable for good crops. The outlook
for the pea crop is excellent, and the
quality will no doubt equal that of
hny previous season. Reports from
the pineapple crop are not all one way,
but it all depends on the weather.
Some splendid fruit has been arriv-
ing, and the receipts will increase each
week. The Baltimore packers try to
make each season excel the previous
n in point of high quality for which
the demand is increasing. Not enough
strawberries have arrived yet to enable
one to judge the quality, but the re-
ports are encouraging. The chief de-
mand so far appears to be for heavy
syruped goods. The spring crop of
spinach is always a light n compared
with the fall crop, and it is no excep-
ton this time. G~Ooseberries and cher
II are reported to be doing well.
From all sections of Maryland the re-
ports concerning the peach crop are
most encouraging. For the first time
III i've or six years we will have a large
crop, with practically bare floors of
the canned article to start with. Low
prices are looked for on all grades.

rdeaI instance of Heroism.

Heroes at wholesale will ruin the
hero business. There is something In
the air of our blessed country that
causes men to do brave deeds without
looking for a money consideration.
Ninety-nine soldiers in 100 will walk

heroism. 1t is esprit de corps. That

it to save his own life. Where else was

to the west coast Of the peninsula.
These positions were not defended ex.
cept by the force posted at Kin Chau.
This gap was the fatal defect in the
Russian position. AS soon as the ia
panese perceived it, they extended
their right nOrthward and eastward,
enveloping Kin Chau and the extreme
Russian right. The Japanese also ex-
tended their left tc the shores of Tai
ienwan Bay, and their centre moved
forward.
The attack on Kin Chau began at
$50 o'clock a. m. The Russian bat
teries on Nanshan Hill opened the ar
tillery duel which lasted three hours.
The Russian gunners searched the ia
panese lines with their fire, but did
not infiict much damage.
The battle was resumed the follow
ing day, three Japanese gunboats join
ing in the attack from Kin Chau Bay.
A Russian gunboat in Talienwan Bay
steamed close in shore and shelled the
Japanese for four hours.
The details received of the engage
ment from this point on are fragment
ary. The Japanese infantry entered
Kin Chau early in the morning of the
second day of the battle, the Russians
retiring southwark.
The Japanese attack on the Russian
position on the Nanshan Hill seems to
have been the bloodiest incident of the
whole series Of engagements. The
positions were almost impregnable.
The fighting continued throughout the
day and ragged among the hills all
night. The Japanese artillery and
gunbOats centred their fire on the
Russian batteries and silenced many
guns.
The Japanese infantry made many
rushes, but were repeatedly checked
by a deadly rife and cannon fire from
the Russian trenches. After many re-
pulses they finally reformed and
stormed the crest of the hill.
The Russians held their ground with
obstinate valor, but were compelled at
last slowly to give way and retired
toward Nankueling. The Japanese
did not gain full possession of the ridge
until Z o'clock in the evening.

Estimates of Losses Put High.

LOndOn.-The only accounts of the
Japanese victory on the Kin Chau
isthmuS comes from Toxic. There is
no official reference to the fighting
from the Russian side. but various
rumors are circulated in st. Peters
burg. The NOvoe Vremya states that
the. Japanese suffered terribly from
the cross fire of the Russian batteries.
losing $4,000 killed or wounded. 1t
adds that the Russian losses did not
exceed 1000.
1t is also reported that the Japanese
asked for an armistice in order that
they might bury their dead. Another
report states that the Japanese lost
$1,000 killed.
The capture Of the walled town of
Kin Chau itself does not seem to have
been very costly, and the position is of
little value. 1t was the capture Of
the heights beyond, especially Nan
shan Hill, which involved desperate
sacrifices, and which constitutes the
value of the victory.
The nature of the Russian defeat is
equally impossible to state with any
confidence. The reports received thus
TAR do not indicate that they were
routed. All show that the Russians
hung on with their traditional stub
born bravery.
1t is pointed out here that the alb
sence of any official mention of the
Japanese capturing artillery may in
dictate that the retreat was orderly,
as only the abandonment of their guns
would show that the defenders were
demoralized. One correspondent alone
refers vaguely to this; the Toxic rep
resentative of the Telegraph, saying
that the Japanese took guns and other
material, and also a few prisoners.
The same correspondent reports
that, in the final rush on the Russian
position on Nanshan Hill, the Japan
csc drove the defenders out at the
point of the bayonet. The Russians
retreated down the hill toward Port
Arthur, pursued by the yictors.
