 BATTLE ALONG THE YALU

New York, April S.-Despite the strict censorship that is exercised at Lao Yang. the Associated Press has been enabled to get out from that point the following. the first press dispatch giving the Rus sian side of the story or the battle on the Yalu:
 Liao Yang May s-The first lot of wounded from Kiu Lien Cheng arrived here yesterday. They were on a sanitary train. General Kuropatkin was on the train. He distributed a number of medals for gallantry In action. Colonel Maister and Captain Filadelfoff, wno were among the wounded, were interviewed by the Associated Press correspondent, to whom they madeline following statement:
 Without fear of the enemys artillery on April 20 the Russians began to pre- pare for battle The second battery and the sixth brigade occupied the Kiu Lien Cheng position. On April 30 twelve of the enemy's three-incn guns appeared suddenly on an island opposite Kiu Lien Cheng, and then the battle begun. The enemy shot accurately, their shrapnel bursting over our heads Tn a few hours

London, May S.-The Morning Posts Shanghai correspondent reports that Dal- ny was captured Friday, while the To- kio correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. cabling under date of Sunday, says:
 "Dalney was invested yesterday"
 The Mails correspondent at New Chwang in dispatch dated May g. says:
 Yesterday most of the Russian troops retired to Tas Hip Chao, and during the night most of the guns were removed from the fort and sent to Llao Yang, where all the Russian forces are concep- trating A conference of the civil and military authorities was held this even ing. and 1t was decided to prepare to leave at a moments notice
 The Mail, in describing the occupation of Feng Wang Cheng, says:

We watched anx- icusly, anticipating that each rush would enter the zone of fire. The Japanese were working around the sides of Kiu Lien bay to their position, when the Rus sian trenches suddenly poured a hurri- cane of rife fire into them with deadly effect. For a moment the Japanese ad- vance weakened and recoiled. but for a moment only, for they rallied and went cn. The Russians not having guns. were unable to reply to the continuous fire of

TAPS PRACTICINC
 STRICT ECONOMY
Maintained by Some That They Arc Even Carrying Matters
 Too Far.

Richmond. Ind. May S-Guerny Bin ford, A Friends missionary in Japan. writing to relatives here. says of the war situation in Japan:
 "A remarkable thing Is the surprising economy which Is observed in every place. People are not spending more than Is absolutely necessary. Related families who have occupied two houses are clos ing one and two families enter one house. No one is putting money Into repairs, etc. To such an extent is economy practiced that 1t seems to threaten productive in- dustry and bring trouble upon the labor ing classes. l tell them it is foolish to do so, for while the general claim is made that this is done for economy. to save money for the war, in reality 1t Is extravaganza, because by the stopping of the regular channels of industry the necessary funds and provisions cannot be produced.
 Tt is claimed by many in the inner court that the emperor while dining eats from only one rice bowl"

 Two hours after the advance began an officer suddenly appeared at the top of the slope waving a large Japanese flag, sending an electric thrill through the beholders, all far and near shouting 'Banzai.
 According to the Standards correspond ent tho Russians put into action only two batteries. It Is reported that they had with them 120 guns, including eighty field guns and twenty quick firers.
 The Times Tokio correspondent under date of May 8. says:
 'The celerity and organization of the recent Japanese movements Is remarka- bIe. The second army, which began to embark a fortnight ago. evidently re- mained at it's base pending the result of the Yalu operations. If these had proved unsuccessful, 1t would have be- come an auxiliary of the first army. Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Togo is wait ing with his blockading steamers
 Under date of May 8 the Times Antung correspondent says:
 "The Russian defeat at Yalu was due primarily to their perfunctory, old-fash- toned methods, and the Japanese success must be attributed to their perfect ac- quaintance with modern conditions, to the skill and intelligence, and to their concentration at the psychological mo- ment on the weak point in the Russian line. In morale, the Japanese soldiers sare equal and possibly superior to European troops n

The duke looks much thinner than he did before he left for the scenes of hostili- ties in the far east.

 In an interview regarding his experi- ence at the time of the disaster to the Petropavlovsk, Grand Duke cyril said
 q was standing on the bridge beside Admiral Makaroff when I felt the shock. My first impression was that a 12-inch shell had entered the powder magazine and I leaped to the other side of the bridge Vice Admiral Makaroff did not move. In the twinkllng of an eye I dlved into the water On coming up l saw Makaroff still at the same place grip ping the rail, his face streaming with blood. I was weighted with heavy overcoat and could not keep up. I went down. but on rising caught the floating wreck of a boat Two seamen recognized me and helped me to support myself un- til a boat arrived"

General Zassacs Official Report States That Russian Losses in Battle of Mullen Chen Amounted to 2323 Men-0f
 This Total 108l Were Left on the Battlefield

St. Petersburg May s--The emperor has received dispatch from General Ku- ropatkin giving the report of Lieutenant General zassaltch of the Russian losses in the battle of Kiulien Chen, The report states that Major General KashtalinslSy was injured in the head by stone. The brunt of the fighting, General zassalitch says, was borne by the Eleventh and Twelfth rife regiments and the Twenty second regiment. The fighting was SD desperate that the Russian regiments were obliged to make several counter at taclks, and to cut a way for themselves with the bayonet against the enemy who was five times stronger than the Rus slams, and who were supported by numer- ous artillery.
 In this fight, so terrible but glorious was the action of the Eleventh and Twelfth regiments, the boss in killed was four officers. including the commander of the Eleventh, and 4s1 non-commlssion- ed officers and men. The wounded were one officer and S1 non-commissioned off, cers and men and a chaplain, while sev- eraI hundred others were left on the field.
 General Zassalitch confirms the reports of the enormous mortality among the ar tilery horses, and concludes his report as follows:
 Our losses of April 30 and May 1 alto gether amounted to seventy superior and subaltern officers and 2323 men killed, wounded or taken prisoners. Of this to- tai, 10S1 were left on the battlefield. but 1t Is not known whether they were killed or wounded. In consequence of the heavy losses In men, battery horses and the difficulties encountered in the roadless country, 1t was absolutely impossible to bring away the guns and machine guns"

Drove Russians Before Them.

Wjju, May 1.-Via overland courier to Seoul May S.-The army under General Kuroh crossed the Yalu river today. The Japanese soldiers drove the Russians be- fore them from strongly fortified moun- tain passes, which should have been held by q small army against greatly supe- rior force. The Russian forces are esti- mated officially to have numbered 10000 men, They removed the batteries during the night leaving the infantry to cover their retreat. The Japanese dislodged the Russians by a frontal attack, delivered opposite Wiju This attack might have involved the Japanese in enormous losses, because they were obliged to advance across an almost shelterless sand plain, where their dark uniforms made the best possible kind of targets.
 The retreating Russians were fanked by two Japanese regiments, which cap tured twenty-eight field guns, twenty off, cers and several hundred men. Japanese mountain batteries pursued the retreat ing Russians but they were outstripped by the infantry, who made the captures among the hills, some miles beyond the river.
 Two Russian regiments coming from Hioko to reinforce their comrades were badly cut to pieces.
 All the ammunition for the Russian ar tillery and large quantities of supplies were captured.

CORRESPONDENT TELLS
 OF HIS TRIP TO MUKDEN

correspondent has finally received permis- sion to proceed from New Chwang to Mukden by way of Liao Yang. He was given A special car on the main line after leaving New Chwang and received official courtesies on the journey.
 Observations from the car window were unique. The spectacle in many places of artillery parks among the spring wheat and Cossacks in multi-colored shirts ln- ing the road entirely changed the aspect of central Marchuria since the corre- spondents departure from headquarters at Port Arthur more than TWO months ago.
 Notwithstanding the extensive military
