Holding Main Position.

St Petersburg. Aug 3.-Alowing for the in
evitahle conflict in names, the japanese and
Russian reports seem 10 agree the main
points Of the military developments up to
August l. but both stop short at the interest
ing point. namely, what happened on August ,,
when it is possible that a decisive struggle
was going on east and south of Lao Yang.
The usual crowds were assembled around the
bulletin boards outside the Office of the general
staff until long after midnight, awaiting further
official details, but nothing given out be
yond General Kuropatkin's official dispatches.
These dispatches and the japanese reports show
that the Russians abandoned Yang-Tse Pass,
falling back On Iain-D Dian-Sian, strong defen-
eve position In the hills. twenty-four miles
southeast of IIao-Yang.
General Kuropatkin admits that there were
heavy losses along the Samaja and LAO Yang
road on July 81 The general evidently
pected heavy fighting along this line probably
about An-Ping. The text of the commander in
chiefs report. which is dated August l. fol
