From Kuropatkin.
(By the Associated Press,)

st. Petersburg, August 1.-(3:50 p.
m. AT last the decisive battle of the
campaign seems to be in progress.
Having completed his enveloping
movement of the Russian position.
General Kuroki has ordered simultan-
eously an advance from all points
against Hal ChenG and Liao Yang.
The fighting is raging on both fronts
and still continues.
The latest reports contain nothing
yet confirmatory of the rumors that
General Kuropatkin has been defeat
ed
According to Kuropatkins official
dispatches to the Emperor, the battle
began for the possession of the inn
portant position at Simoucheng, which
is located at the junction of the Feng
Wang Cheng and Siucen roads. Two
separate armies were launched from
the east above the two roads, while
a third, under General Oku, moved up
east of the railroad from Tatchi and
Kiao, to cut off the Russian force
there from Hal Cheng.
If the latter move is successful this
force will be crushed. A portion of
General Kurolxi's army at the same
time advanced against General Count
Keller's position at Ikhavuen, east Of
Liao Yang. trying the favorite Japa-
nese plan of putIlanking him on the
right. Still further north, on the
Saimateza-I.iao Yang road, the Japa-
nese moved forward against Hout-
siatze, twenty-five miles from Lao
Yang At all points the Japanese en-
ployed artillery to the best advantage.
General Kuropatkin's situation will
be desperate in the event of his de-
feat The keenest anxiety is felt at
the war for news of the profress of
the battle.
The general staff seems utterly
dumbfounded at the number OF men
the japanese possess and consequently
Iuropatkin's statement that they are
landing another heavy force at the
port of New Chwang adds to the solic-
itude.
