In the battle, which began with heavy
cannonading of our right flank by
siege guns at Wiju and field batteries
In the distance.
After a lull the fighting was re-
sumed with extraordinary violence
against the left flank OF our main posi-
ton at Turenchen and our position at
Potietinsky. A fusillade was also be-
gun by small parties of Japanese across
the Al river. The situation of the de-
tenders position became increasingly
difficult, especially at Potietinsky,
which was bombarded on the front and
on both flanks.
Thirty Japanese guns were pitted
against our battery at Potietinsky.
which, after having silenced the en-
emy's mountain battery directed its
fire on the Japanese i-ss try and sus-
tanned few losses so long as il was not
obliged to take up another position ow-
ing to the withdrawal Of our infantry
from the bank.
The Japanese under our fire made
continual bayonet attacks on our
troops. Japanese bodies lay in heaps
at the river fords.
simultaneously with the attack at
Potietinsky an attack was being made
on our left flank at Turenchen, and the
Russian trenches had to be abandoned
under the Japanese enfilading fire Our
reserves several times mingled with the
first line. thus enabling it for long
time to maintain its position.
FINALLY all OF the supports we're
brought up into the firing line, but ow-
Ing TO the great distance from our main
reserves it was impossible for them to
reach the advanced force in time, and
our men retired from the principal po-
sition to another position in the rear
OF Iurenchen. followed by the concen-
trated fire of the Japanese, who could
not make up their minds to descend
from the crest they occupied and face
the fire of our batteries at Poulemetts.
They dug fresh trenches and opened a
heavy artillery fire on our new position
and began to turn our left flank toward
Chin Cow.
Two battalions of the 11th reei-
ment and the third battery of the third
brigade of artillery belonging to the
main reserve were ordered TO Lao-Fun-.
Hou. They occupied a position with a
double firing line, thus permitting or
advanced line, which had suffered heav-
lily, and our wounded to retire.

MURDER sTiRs MAHANoY CITY
Killing of Philadelphia Girl Remains a
Deep Mystery.

Nh'"'9 VI rtiidoStpHid Siri remains a
Deep Mystery.
Mahanoy City, Pa, May 4.-The mur-
der of Lillian Humes, the 11-year-old
Philadelphia girl, at the Mahanoy City
company's reservoir Monday evening,
has stirred this city and vicinity. Dep
uty Coroner DR.. George w. Reese, ac-
companied by several other physicians,
visited the scene of the tragedy, and
though they went over the ground in
detail and piled the family with Ques-
tions, little additional light was shed
on the mystery. The double -barreled
shot gun and the empty shells which
1t contained. Humes says, belonged to
him. He says he had no knowledge of
Ltllian's presence in the house until
he returned from work at o'clock and
found her dead upon the kitchen floor
with the top of her head blown away.
His wife and two children, he says,
were absent from the home also. Moth
Ing has been heard Of the bloody-faced
foreigner seen hurrying from the scene
shortly before the tragedy was discov-
cred.
The coroner's inquest will be held
on Friday.
