Japanese Lost Three Thousand.

Toxic. May 28.-Japan paid heavily
for her victories at Kin-Chou, Nashan
and Talienwan. losing 5000 men in
killed and wounded in the repeated
assaults against these positions, but
she scored a sweeping and valuable
victory over the Russians, capturing
so guns, clearing the way to Port Ar

to total two thousand men. 1t is
doubted if the Russians will stand
again north of Port Arthur. They re-
tired from the field beaten and they

stand would be made.

ST Petersburg, May 2S.-G:06 p. m.
-EmperCt Nicholas received the news
of the result of the fighting at Kin
Chou, and in it's vicinity at the palace
of TSarskoe Seloe. He at once sent
for War Minister Sakharoff, with
whom His Majesty and the members
of his military cabinet went over the
dispatches. The Emperor received
the report that the Russians were
compelled to retire before the heavy
artillery fire of the cnemy's batteries
in front and of his warshiDs on their
flank with cOmpoSure, as being the
fortune of war. but he was considera-
bly, agitated by the latter reports that
General Fock had not succeeded In
saving the Russian guns The men,
bers of the military cabinet pointed
out that this later report was not Off
cial and besides they expressed COM
plete confidence that Port Arthur it
self could not be reduced except at an
immense cost of time and men, and
with the aid of the heaviest kind Of
siege guns.

The Breech Blocks Again.

A high officer of the general staff
declared to the correspondent of the
Associated Press that the loss of guns
reported captured was unavoidable, if
confined to those mounted in the
works on the hills below Kin Chou,
as they could not be carried away
when the Russians retired. but the
breech blocks, he added, probably had
been romved. Besides, before the
enemy could use tho guns against
Port Arthur they would have to manu-
facture cartridges. Therefore the loss
was not so serious a matter. The i'm
portant thing to ascertain was whether
the Japanese had captured any field
guns.
The same officer said the works at
Kin Chou had been hastily construct
cd, and were no criterion of the works
at Port Arthur, which could not be
hanked-where the forts were scien-
tifically erected and connected to sup
port each other.
eff the Japanese lost 5000 men in
taking Kin Chou the officer added,
"they will lose 10000 mon at least if
they try to take Port Arthur. Even
with such a sacrifice l consider the
capture of the fortress to be impossi-
BILE. Port Arthur, in my opinion, is
impregnable SO long as it's food and
ammunition holds out.
