Russian Report Of Battle.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 2, 4:05 n. H.
A report from an apparently reliable
source last night was to the effect that
General kunopatkin's main force had
been rapidly moving north for several
days.
According to this report, no troops
proceeding to the front from Russia
had gone past Harbin in the past three
days. They will be detained there,
and every available piece Of rolling
stock will be rushed south empty for
the removing Of troops at Lila Yang
and other points to the northward.
leaving a skeleton force to contest the
Japanese advance on vital positions.
II 1t is true as pointed out in the
foregoing, 1t leaves the Russian forces
in an exceedingly serious position.
General Kuropatkin's reports of yes
terday only carried the fighting up to
SSunday night, when the Russians had
been driven in from the left flank OF
the Simoucheng position. The Rus.
SLAMS had repealed several attacks and
one bayonet charge, in which there
was n desperate hand.to.hand fight at
Kangwa heights. Elsewhere the Rus.
slams are reported to be holding their
own.
There was the greatest hope of fur
ther news tnom Russian sources re-
garding the progress Of to.day's battle.
Crowds hung around the bulletin
boards until a. M, and finally dis.
persed disappointed.

Desperate Battle In Progress.

St Petersburg. Aug. AT last tho
decisive battle Of the campaign seems
to be In progress. Having completed
his cnvcioping movement Of the Rus
sian position. General Kuroki has Or
dcrcd simultaneously an advance from
nil points against Hal Chcng and Lao
Yang. Fighting is raging on both
fronts and still continues.
According to Kuropatkin's official
dispatch to the Emperor. the battle be-
gan for the possession OF the import
ant position Mt Simoucheng. which In
located Mt the juncturc OF the FenS
Wang Chcns and Siuyen roads. Two
separate armies were launched from
the east above tho two roads. while
n third. under General Oku, moved up
east of the railroad from Ta Tchc Kiao
to try to cut OF the Russian force there
from Hal Chcng.
A portion OF General Kuroki's army
at the same time advanced against
General Count kcllcr's position at
1khavuen. east Of Lao Yang. trying
the favorite japanese plan Of out
1anking him on the right. still fur
thcr north. on the Saimatsza-Lino
Yang road. the Japanese moved for
ward against Houtsintse. twenty-five
miles from Lao Yang. At all points
the japanese employed artillery to the
best advantage.
General Kuropatkin's situation Will
be desperate in the event Of his de-
feat. The keenest anxiety Is fek at
the war oflce for news Of the progross
Of the battle.
The general stan seems utterly
dumbfounded at che number OF men
the Japanese possess and consequently
Kuropatkin's statement that they arc
landing another heavy force at the
port Of New Chwang adds to the solici-
tude,

ents with General Kuroki In the field,
in brief dispatches dated July 81, con.
cur in the statement that the Japanese
have carried certain positions, leav.
ing only one defensible position be.
tween them and Lao Yang.
There is still no reliable news from
Port Arthur. but the Daily Malls To.
kio correspondent asserts that the fall
of this fortress is imminent. Similar
reports emanate from Shanghai and
elsewhere.
The Standard says: "The attack on
the positions beyond Molten pass was
fully justified by its success. Every
advantage was in favor OF the Rus.
SLAMS, whose position was strong and
force superior, but again they showed
inferiority in tactics and in power of
resistance. While they made vigor.

able to resist our right"
