STRONG RUSSIAN POSITION JUST
ABOVE PORT ARTHUR TAKEN
AFTER HARD FIGHT.
DERIES OF RUSHES CHECKED BY
DEALY RIFLE AND CANNON
FIRE OF DEFENDERS.
JAP VICTORY IS COMPLETE, But
THEIR CASUALTIES NUMBER
Three THOUSAND.

Toxic, May 28.-The Japanese army
swept the Russians from Kinchou
Thursday morning and in a desperate
attack stormed the almost i'm
pregnable position of the Russians on
Nanshan hill, west of Talienwan.
Subsequent reports indicate that the
storming of Nanshan hill was bloody
affair. The Japanese first centered
their fire on the Russian batteries, in
which they were aided by four gun
boats from Kinchou bay. They sue
ceeded in silencing many of the en-
emy's guns.
The Russians had constructed a
series Of trenches around the hill on
q terrace protected by wire entangle-
ments and other such devices.
The Japanese made a series of
rushes, but they were in vain. The
deadly rife and cannon fire of the
enemy checked them repeatedly.
Finally, at O'Clock in the afternoon,
the Japanese reformed and stormed
the crest Of the hill The Russians
held to their position doggedly and it
was 7 O'Clock in the evening before
the Japanese finally gained possession
Of the ridge.
The Japanese troops fought bravely
for sixteen hours under an extremely
heavy fire before clearing the Russians
from the Southern heights after a
brave resistance. The Muscovites
made several attempts to retake the
hills, but after much loss of life re-
tired from the narfOWeSt Dart of the
peninsula, which had been held so
long.
Admiral Togo has established a
blockade around the southern end of
the Liaotung peninsula, completely
enveloping Port Arthur. This marks

election to the senate

date, it is said, from over drafts on

which he underwent.
Outdoor life in the Maine woods and

failed to renew the vitality of Mr..
Quay, and finally he came back here.

JAP CASUALTIES BIG
LOSE THREE THOUSAND KILLED
AND WOUNDED IN FIGHTING
AROUND kINCHOU.

Toxic, May 2S.-Japan paid heavily
for her victories at Kinchou, Nanshan
and Talienwan, losing 5000 men in
killed and wounded in the repeated
assaults against these positions, but
she scored sweeping and valuable
victory over the Russians, capturing
fifty guns, clearing the way to Port
Arthur and inflicting losses on the
Russians which In the end are expect
ed to total 1000 men.
1t is doubted if the Russians will
stand again north of Port Arthur
They retired from the field beaten and
they failed to rally at Nanquanling,
where it was anticipated that second
stand would be made.
The desperate Onslaughts of the
Japanese on the heights of Nanshan
were telling, for the Russians left 800
dead IN the trenches there A COM
plete search of this field is expected
to show greater number OF dead.
Jap Soldiers Greatly Fatiaued.
Nanquanling was occupied Friday
morning by a force of infantry, artil-
lery and engineers under the command
OF General Nakamura. The main JAP
anese force spent Friday night billet
ed in the villages around Nanshan.
The soldiers were greatly fatigued as
result of the constant fighting, but
they entered with much spirit upon
the new operations. A force of Rus
slams held Sanchilpu station, which is
northwest OF Dalny, but the Japanese
drove them ont
The Russians abandoned and burned
the station and retired in the direction
OF Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians en-
gagged in the defense of Kinchou, Nan
shan hill and the south shore of Ia
llenWan vary, but it is evident that
the Russians drew for men from the
forces at Port Arthur and offered all
the resistance possible 1t is under
stood here that Lieutenant General
Stoessel, commander of the military
forces at Port Arthur, was in personal
command Of the recent operations. AS
soon as the Japanese troops have rest
ed they will press on to the south.
