The center column, after repulsing

The Russians continued to hold an
eminence west of ShoushanpaO and de-

eminence was finally taken by storm
ON Thursday morning.
The entire left wing. with all. its
force, continued against the Russian
line throughout Wednesday. At 8
O'Clock in the afternoon force OF Rus

CHEFU, Wednesday. Aug. 31.-SeVere
lighting occurred at Port Arthur on
August 27, when the Japanese, moving
from Shuishiying. attempted to capture
Palungshan, which is south OF Shul-
shiying and west of the railroad. Inc
Japanese made two assaults between
4 and s O'Clock in the morning. They
were repuIsed both times. A prisoner
subsequently taken. places their loss
at 1O45 killed and wounded. For one
hour afterward shells were thrown
from Shuishiying into Port Arthur.
The foregoing information was
brought here tonight by a Chinese VINO
speaks excellent Russian and VINO was
employed at the police station In Port
Arthur which place he left in the
evening of August 20. He adds tnat
UP to his departure no further attack
had been made by the japanese on
PaIungshan. He confirms previous re-
ports that the Russians had reoccupieo
Etzshan, where there has been put
little fighting recently.
At 4:30 o'clock on the morning of
August 2S the Japanese attacked Fort
Number s, on the northeast portion OF
the right flank. This fort is new and
strong one. After three hours fierce
firing, during which the Japanese en-
dured a crossfire from Fort No 2. the
Japanese succeeded in entering the
fort.
When the Russians were safely away
from Fort s and the japanese nag
waved over it several forts concen-
trated their fire on it and the japanese
were compelled to retire.
Heavy firing was heard by the Chi
nese on the night of August %.

LIAOYANG, Wednesday, Aug. 81
A Russian correspondent sends the
following from the, southeast front:
After midday the Japanese con-
centrated the strength of all their ar
tillery fire agaist hill No. 9S and. the
village of Maetum, endeavoring to
break into our left. At.the same time
they viciously attacked our west line,
to the right of the hill.
Attack followed attack for three
hours. Between and o'clock in the
afternoon We repulsed three headlong
charges against our line. After this
the japanese, with the strength of all
their batteries, opened fire along the
whole southern front; but this attack,
too, was driven back with what
seemed tremendous loss, although it
was impossible to tell clearly what oc-
Cured amid the shell fire and fighting.
The roar of siege guns, mortar bat
teries and mixed volley firing went on
until darkness set in.
ITO the north a storm accompanied
by thunder and lightning broke. while
along the front thousands of shells
were bursting constantly. 1t seemed
Ike magnificent display of fireworks.
"As result of the exhausting ef-
forts on the part of the Japanese our
position on the eastern front is. be-
coming stronger"

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1.-The
battle yesterday was of the most des-
perate character. 1t ragged continu-
ously from dawn until midnight and
the slaughter must have been immense.
At s o'clock in the evening, after hold
ing his outer positions all day in the
face Of the most desperate charges,
General Kuropatkin gave the order to
retire upon the main works about the
city. The Japanese assaults during the
day had been directed principally
against the Russian center, little east
of Mactung Hill, near the railroad, and
three miles southwest of Liaoyang.
Nothing approaching the severity of
the infantry and artillery fire here had
been heretofore experienced in this
war. General Kondratsvitch' division
bore the brunt and suffered the most.
Bayonet charges succeeded one an
other in rapid succession, while the ar
tillery duel never ceased for a moment.
No attempt was made in the official
advices to estimate the number of guns
the japanese used, except that they
had many hundreds. Each gun carried
$50 charges and these must have been
expended many times, as several hum
dred thousand shells were fired between
sunrise and sunset.
General Kuropatkin's order to fall
back on the fortifications probably was
due to the receipt of information that
the Japanese had succeeded in crossing
the Taitse River northeast of Liao-'
yang, although Generals Rennen-.
kampf's and Mandarileff's divisions
had been especially placed in position

CLAIMS RUSSIAN VICTORY.
Sakhuroff;s Official Report of the
Battle of Wednesday.


ST. PETERSBURG, Sept General
Sakharoff, in dispatch to the general
staff, dated to-day, on yesterdays
fighting, says:
"A portion of General Kuroki's force
has crossed to the right bank of the
Taitse River at Sakankankwantun. A
division of infantry, with cavalry and
artillery, crossed first and covered the
advance of another detachment. After
fording the river the Japanese adj
vanced toward Liaoyang in two bodies.
one due west and the other by way of
the Yontai mines.
There. was fighting between the two
armies all day long, especially between
o'clock and midnight, after which the
fire slackened. AS on the previous day
the fighting ended with complete sue
cess for us. The Russians maintained
all their positions. General Kondrat-
enko's detachment specially distin-
gushing itself.
During the last few hours of the
day the Japanese fired an immense
number of projectiles and the Russian
positions were searched by the jap
anese shrapnel. The Russians main
tanned a stubborn defense the whole
day. Our troops all Oay lOHS were eA-
posed to a hail Of shrapnel but defend
ed the positions entrusted to them with
desperate bravery.
After preparing for the assault
with artillery the Japanese repeatedly
attacked our positions. Some of our
advanced Notifications passed into
their hands after a stubborn defense.
They were, however, each time recap
tured by us at the point of the bayo-
net.
THE Japanese left a number of
dead. After each bayonet engagement
our troops found time to dig pits in the
fields of Chinese corn in front of some
of our positions. These in some cases
were completely filled with japanese
corpses. The. enemy's losses must have
been enormous. Ours have not yet
beenseven approximately computed, but
they are large. A considerable number
of Japanese arms fell into our hands.

the Japanese occupied Liaoyang on

latest official dispatch to the Japanese

BATTLE ENDS AT MIDNIGHT.

The rattle of musketry and the boom
of cannon continued until midnight,
when at last silence brooded over the
bloody battlefield and the tired soldiers
lay down where they had fought, while
the worn-out surgeons and angels of
mercy ministered to the wounded all
night and the Chinese coolies worked
at carrying them into Liaoyang.
General Sakharoff, in reporting the
battle, says the Japanese suffered
enormous losses-much larger than
those of the Russians, who also lost
heavily. -

wounded still remains in command Of
his army corps, although he is no
