BATTLE LASTS ALL DAY.
Artillery Fire Heary-Rumor of a
Russian Victory.

Kantzertun (seven miles southeast of Lao
Yang. Aug. 26.-Contrary TO the expectation OF
the Russians the Japanese are beginning to
advance along the whole line of the Russian
eastern front. On the morning of August II
there was rifle skirmish. and the next day the
Japanese artillery opened fire. On both days
the firing ceased dusk, and the small energy
displayed by the Japanese might have been
taken to indicate that it was merely demon
stration or a reconnaissance in force. On the
morning of August 20. however. the rife and
artillery fire was renewed with energy that
left no doubt that severe battle was intended
The japanese pushed their attack against the
Russian right flank and centre. concentrating
their fire upon the 1st Battery of the Third
Brigade Three officers and several men were
wounded early in the day. but the battery held
it's position and replied to the Japasese fire with
such marked effect that General Ivanon sent
congra tulatory message to its commander.
The Japanese several times attempted to cross
the Tankcho d.lank Rivera. but only few suc-
ceeded and these we're forced to hide in the
fields of Chinese corn
At = o'clock in the afternoon the artillery fire
became as hot it was Wafang-Kao, hut il
fuctuated considerably and occasionally the
Russian fire almost siIenced that of the Japan
ese. Rain fell in torrents at o'clock, but il
did not stop the lighting, and late in the evening
several Russian companies moved forward to
the attack
1t is not yet possible TO give the result of the
battle but it is alleged that the Russians were
successful.
There is a prospect of more lighting to-mor-
row.
