Out at Lao Yang.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 31.-Lieu-
tenant General Sakharoff reports on
Yesterdays battle as follows:
From in the morning until in
the evening the Japanese attacked our
front positions before Lao Yang and
on the left bank of the TaitshO river.
Both their artillery and their rifle fir
ing were intense. Their main efforts
were directed against our center posi-
tions and the right flank. But enor-
nous attacks were repulsed along the
entire line. Our troops made several
counter attacks. Bayonet fighting en-
sued and some of our positions were
taken by the Japanese, but at the end
of the battle they were reoccupied by
our troops. During the artillery battle
our batteries did some effective work.
At in the afternoon the enemy was
observed attempting to turn our right
flank with a considerable force, but
several battalions of our reserve went
forward and after a fierce engagement
compelled them to retire. The battle
continued after darkness set in and
only ended at o'clock.
THE spirit of our troops is excellent.
They received the news of the heroic
bravery Of the Port Arthur garrison
joyfully. Our casualties today were
considerable. According to the number
of wounds dressed they reach about
5000. The Japanese losses must be
