Views of Military Experts.

London. May General Kuroki's
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 8
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
of 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
10000 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 mis- head above the works with
out being shot and every Russian off.
Ger who showed himself in order to
encourage his men being picked off.
Meanwhile the fire was being thus
kept under. The Japanese army in
increasing numbers crossing on the
doomeu ''impregnable defenses." IN
particular they were creeping round to
the north so as to be able to seize the
commanding ground of the present ar
tiliery. from whence to enfilade the
defenses and throw their terrible
shells into the masses of crowded Rus
slams.
The anal report from General Kur-
oki gives the rapid end on Sunday. At
daybreak on Sunday morning the ar
tiliery opened on Chiu Tien Cheng. and
apout a. m. the guns were able to get
within decisive range OF the place
from the high ground on the north.
The Elbert County tribune., 1904-05-05

With no guns OF the enemy any longer
able 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 ulme 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 e-ents. but eventually
the victory was as complete and decis-
i've as. for the number engaged, 1t
could be.
