from Port Dalny today, report that the

Japanese agents here are sending to Port
Dalny 10000 gunny sacks and are endeav-

that these sacks are to be filed with sand

fighting occurred September 8. The Jap

east and west flanks and the RUSSIANS al
lowed them to approach within short dis

compelled the japanese to retreat after
three hours fighting. An incident of the
engagement was a clash between Japanese
and Russian regiments of cavalry, result
