One of the fugitives is injured, but not so as to prevent his flight.
 In parties of about twenty the prlr- suing men are scattered out over the entire boundary of the laurel thicket and swamp, which is twelve miles long and eleven miles wide.
 Shortly after eleven o'clock a. m, about six miles to the south of Port age, the three men were fired upon by a posse and one of the fugitives fell. His companions lifted him to his feet and the three hurried into the swamp, lowed for about fifty yards. but the men escaped. The search will be con tinued all night and pickets are out watching every road and cOwpath lead ing from the swamps. Hundreds of others are forcing their way through the interior of the dense undergrowth. The country is so rough that it is inn possible to get a horse to travel into the swamp. There are a few men who know the trails and they are to act as guides.

A JAPANESE REPORT.
A Story of the Battle of Mo Tien
 Pass.

Gen. KurOkis Headquarters, near Mo Tien Pass, July 22, via Seoul, Aug. A. From the brief official reports arriv- ing it appears that the fighting of July 19 was severe. On July r, the Ja- panese attacked a superior force of the enemy occupying the strongest de- lenslVe works. The attack resulted in forcing the Russians to retreat along the roads northward and westward, in bringing the right Japanese line ahead some miles and in clearing the way for the Japanese advance. The Japanese again ouSmaneuvered the Russians, who held the trenches. The Japanese fianked them on both sides. spreading comparatively small force into long lines.
 The Japanese loss was one officer and fiftyth three men killed and fifteen officers and $50 men wounded. One company lost all its officers.
 Two Russian officers and forty-fiva men were taken prisoners by the Ja- panese. According to the officers ac- counts the Russian loss was several hundred. The bodies of more than 200 Russians killed on July r were buried or burned. Many of the dead were hidden in the woods two days be- fore being discovered. The Chinese assert that many more were buried m the Russian lines. It is the consen- sus of opinion that the European regi- ments made a poorer showing against General Kurokrs troops than the Si oerian regiments did. lIae condition Of the Siberian troops is bad Hun. dreds are without boots and are wear ing Chinese shoes. Russian deserters frequently enter the Japanese lines.
