shrill cheers as they hurried forward,
Their formation was closer than that
kept by British or American troops
and 1t looked as though their losses
must be great. They waded the river
and ran across the sands and climbed
up the steep, rocky hillsides like a.
swarm OF ants, their red and yellow
cap bands cleaning In the sun. One
Japanese soldier In one OF these regi-
ments carried something white with
him. This was seen and It caused a
shout TO go up that the Russians had
surrendered. But upon reaching the
top OF the first Russian trench, a hun

started into a saloon midway in the

The soldiers were spread out in their
black lines three miles long, from a
point on the island opposite tho ex-

parallel to the south bank. The Japa.

force present, was now on the sands

Four field batteries were behind the
infantry on It's extreme TANKS. con.
cealed by the shrubbery.
Two batteries began the action by
throwing shells 10 the Manchurian side
OF the river for half an hour while
the sun was rising. They sprinkled
with shells the entertainments whence
the Russian guns had been firing for
the last week. but no response TO their
fire was forthcoming. and IL looked as
II the Russians had removed their bat
teties during the night.
II seemed as II the enemy had with
drawn entirely, as no signs OF life
could be seen on their works.
Soon after o'clock the Japanese
began to advance. The distance from
the Korean 10 the Manchurian bank
OF the Yalu Is about two miles. The
japanese troops spread out in extend
ed formation as they went forward.
When they were a few hundred yards
from the hills on the Manchurian side
they threw themselves prone on the
ground and began volleying.
In the meantime the Japanese bat
teries searched the hills with shrapnel.
The Russians now could be seen at
intervals where the road was exposed,
hurrying in small squads along the
hills. These exposed stretches OF the
road made fine targets for the Japan
csc gunners. fierce fire was CON
centrated on one open space, half the
shrapnel thrown bursting over n small
area with wonderful precision. There
was a perfect shower OF puffs OF white
smoke at this place. and the observers
could see the work OF an occasional
shell as II dug great hole in the
earth and scattered quantities OF rock.
Still the Russians remained silent.
There was no answering fire from
them until the first Japanese line was
within few hundred yards OF the
river bank. Then sharp volleys burst
almost simultaneously from several
trenches, and the attacking Japanese
found themselves under n heavy and
continuous fire. at easy range, from
covered positions high above them.
They lay behind the sand hillicks, re.
plying bravely and holly to the fire,
while their own batteries pumped
shells over their heads.
The Japanese officers sat on their
horses or walked along the lines. They
were In no way sheltered nor pro-
tected.
A few stretcher bearers coming
back to the field hospital indicated
that men were being wounded.

by Russian General.
Chefoo, May 10.-Passengers arriv-
Ing from Newchwang say that the
Russian force probably evacuated
that place during the night. Many
had already departed yesterday and
those remaining made no secret of
their intention to leave. There is no
activity whatever at the forts, where
there are still guns in operation.
Three thousand bandits are camped
outside OF the walls OF Newchwang

st. Petersburg. May 10-The car
will send 100000 troops to reinforce
Kouropatkin's shattered armies in
Manchuria.
Red placards all over Moscow and
Kharkon provinces summon the re-
serves of the Tenth and Seventeenth
army corps to the colors, and these
two corps will be dispatched to the
far East as quickly as possible, thus
adding 100000 men TO Kouropatkin's
forces.
The war department has given pre-
liminary orders for the mobilization
OF the four army corps along the Vol.
ga. These corps will add 100000
moro to Kouropatkin's fighting
strength, but. they cannot be mobil-
lied before the latter part OF July or
early In August.
It is officially announced that the
report OF Gen. Kouropatkin's with
drawal to Hardin Is baseless. He does
not intend to retire from Liaoyang, at
any rate not for the present. Some
military authorities assert that Gen.
KouropatlSin would gain enormously
by retiring to Hardin and thus draw.
ing the Japanese inland, but they be-
lieve he is convinced OF the necessity
of hindering the Japanese from get.
ting command OF the railway and that
he will do his utmost 10 prevent
them. He will also. II is thought, at
tempt to relieve Port Arthur.
Others assert that Kouropatltin has
not sufficient force to hold southern
Manchuria. as he has not more than
100000 troops south OF Hardin
Though he may retain Liaoyang for
the present. he would be compelled TO
abandon that town IL the enemy
brings a superior force along the
northern road to Mukden.
Tho increasingly threatening atti-
tude OF the Chinese also is a serious
factor in the situation which may con.
tribute TO induce Gen. Kouropatkin
to evacuate Liaoyang.
The overwhelming advance OF Gen.
Kuroki's army, after it's victorious
passage of the Yalu, compelled the
Russians 10 give up Fengwangcheng
without striking blow in its de
Tense. Newchwang has been evacu-
ated and the Russians admit that they
cannot hope TO hold Haicheng. Thus
Russia's first line OF defense has been
shattered almost without the firing
OF a gun.
There seems TO be nothing left but
Liaoyang-and then Mukden, and af.
tor that Hardin.

thur is sealed.
Pitsewo is village on the east
coast OF the Liaotung peninsula, north
OF Elliot islands.
IL the landing is accomplished there
IL is assumed the invaders will imme-
diately throw up intrenchments across
the peninsula, which is narrow there
abouts. thus shutting in Port Arthur
on the land side, as Admiral Togo is
doing on the sea side.
II is stated that Russia has can
celed contracts for coal that had been
ordered to await the Baltic feet at
Zizerta. Jibutil, and Saigon. This is
taken to mean that the Baltic fleet
will not go to the far east.
