THE EASTERN WAR.

Toxic, Aug 2.-It is reported
here that after three days of des
perate fighting the Japanese have
captured Shan Tai Kow, one OF
the important defences of Port
Arthur
Toxic, Aug 2-Noon.-Aft
two days fighting Gen Kuroki hat
defeated the Russian forces in two
separate actions, fought at Yangze
pass.
st. Petersburg, Aug 2, l:52 ?
m.-The feeling at the war office
here was distinctly gloomy this
morning. No official teiegrams
had been received by tie general
staff, from Gen. Kuropatkin, who
was communicating direct with
the Emperor, but fIom private
sources at the front it already WIS
apparent that Simoucheng, had
been lost, Gen Stalkenburg's for
ces having fallen back TO Hal
cheng
An interesting detail evidences
the heroeuess of the artillery duel
south of Haicheng July q, is the
fact that the Russian batteries of
the left flank fired 1872 shots at
the enemy in four hours.
st. Petersburg, Aug 2.-All the
military critics this morning take
the view that the decisive moment
of the campaign has arrived. The
srmy organ says that Gen Kuroki
prepared for his advance by draw.
ing in his forces, which were scat.
tered over front of forty miles.
The paper says it is evident that
large Japanese force IS working
along the Lao.
The Russ says:
"The decisive moment has ar
rived, but judging from latest re-
ports the Russians have retained
their positions and this time it
will not be the order to retreat" -.
All the newspapers were late in
publication this morning, the edi-
tions evidently having been held
back in hope of receipt of later
advices from the front.
