Lao Yang. Aug. . delayed in trans

the effect that, despite the extreme
Japanese measures of the past fort
night to perfect a blockade of Port

near that place, the Russians outside
Port Arthur are considerably under

er Of the fortress, which is likely to
hold out for two months and possibly
until January. even under such d
strength Of assault as the japanese are
using.
Contrary to the belief here that the
japanese had taken the outer forts at
Port Arthur. it is now understood that

ONCE
AGAIN RETIRE
Driven Out of Anshanshan After
Fight.
BATTLE DAY AND NIGHT
JAPANESE ADVANCE BEING
RAPIDLY PUSHED.

4 lao Yang, Aug. 2S.-The Russians
retired from Anshanshan yester-
day. after a fight which com
menced on the morning Of Aug. IS and
continued in a desultory fashion all
day and night
Arrangements for battle had been
completed BY night time when the or
der to retire was given on account OF
the situation to the east.
The order was received with disap-
pointment by the troops. The retire
ment was made in an orderly manner.
The plain between Anshansban and
HaichenE was covered with japanese
troops who burned the bridge and
shelled the railway station after the
Russian retirement
The Russian losses amount to 800.
The Japanese are advancing with great
rapidly.
Advance Being Pushed.
The advance from the south is ap-
parently being pushed home. Sounds
Of artillery from that direction are
palmer than they were yesterday.

advance.
The Russians had sustained a hot ar
tillery fight all Of Aug IS on the east
ern front, but held their positions.
At > o'clock In the evening the AssO-
ciated Press correspondent crossed
over TO the left flank The understands
ing was that the Russians would con-
centTate heavily in the morning for an
attack Of the japanese in that direc-
ton and the surprise was greater there
fore at the order to retire.
Superior Jap Force.
The explanation is given that the
tenth corps, especially General
Herschelmann's division on the eK-
IRENE left. was confronted by a greatly
superior force of japanese. Though
the Russians fought bravely and held
all their positions they had lost an
immense number Of officers
Most probably the retirement from
the Anshanshau position arose from
the same reason that the whole noun
tain division as well as the eastern
troops retired apparently not because
Of the pressure Of the Japanese but for
strategic reasons.
The rains had made a thick and
binding mud which almost paralyzed
wagon transportation and made the
movement of guns even more difficult.
Though the japanese witnessed the
slow retirement Of the eastern division
they made no attempt to follow the
Russians, being apparently exhausted
by the duel OF Aug y and >, and the
desperate and unsuccessful all day at
tark OF Aug IS
Today the sound Of cannouading Is
heard plainly in Lao Yang. 1t Is
more to the south than 10 the south
east
The japanese seem to be advancing
along the entire front. particularly
moving with a large force up the val
ley OF tie Lao river.
