tcontlnue4 from First Paoe)

(contlnue- from First Paae) ------~------4--~----~- --~-~-~----~~~~-~-----~-- the length of the hill. As soon as the Japanese were in possession of this trench the Russian turned the fire of scores of guns against them In an effort to dis lodge them. This heavy fire was main tained until nightfall but did not drive the Japanese out.
 Fight kept Up All Night.
 Both sides kept up an artillery fire all through the night of August 3l and at s o'clock in the morning of September l the Japanese attacked the center Rus sian position. This was hill defended by three lines of entrenchment. The bot tom of the hill was defended by wire en- tanglements, pits and ditches Japanese engineers cut the entanglements after terrible slaughter, one detachment losing seventy-seven out of eighty men.
 The men of Nagoya, the flower of the second army, were assigned to charge this hill. They took the first trenches with a rush. In the second trench they met the enemy in a hand-to-hand fight, and went on to the top of the hill, tread ing on their own dead. The trench at the crest of the hill was taken after an other hand-to-hand fight, the Russians ] being driven out at the point of the bayonet, and with clubbed guns.
 Thousands Killed in Charge.
 Thousands were killed in this charge, and the trenches were filled with the mangled bodies of Japanese and Russians. In many cases attackers and defenders were found dead, clutched in each others arms. No more desperate charge was ever made. The position apparently was unassailable, and 1t should have been held by one man against twenty. The taking of this hill, ended the defense of this line of positions, the Russian right evacuating after slight resistance.
 At daylight of September l the Japanese l flag 1oated over all the hilis and the Rus sians had retired in good order toward i Liao Yang.
 l At sunset on September 2 the Japanese center and right had moved forward. and general charge was ordered. The Japa- nese guns bombarded the Russian de 1 lenses for one hour before the sun went down, and then the infantry charged. The left was successful in driving the Rus slams out of their position, but the right and center did not achieve as favorable a result. They forced the Russians to retire to the defenses close to the walls of Liao Yang. Here another desperate stand was made, the Japanese pouring shell and l shrapnel Into the Russians all day of Sep tember 3. The Russian artillery was To- cated in exceedingly well built emplace- ments. which afforded them complete pro- l tection
 Shortly after noon of September 1t was seen that the Russians had begun to burn the city. Great piles of stores near the railroad were set on fire, and many buildings were destroyed. During the night of September the last of the Rus sian forces withdrew from Liao Yang, and early in the morning of the 4th the Japa- nese coupled the town.

San Antonio, Tex, September 13.- A special to the Express from Maria, Tex, says;
 The latest news from Presidio is to the effect that nothing remains except the Catholic church, which is located about a mile or more from the river.
 The people are herded together on hillisde, and many of them are in need of the necessaries of life. Two hundred and eighty-six are without homes and unable to provide for the present demands. Local subscriptions have been started and help has been rendered by those not afflicted. It is sad that an effort will be made to re- build the town at a point below it's former location, on ground not sub- ject to overflow.
