The division car- ried many machine guns The Russians attacked with great spirit and fought until they were within three hundred yards of the Japanese, when they were forced to retire with heavy casualties.
 On the next night a company of Rus sians climbed the slopes of Ken noun tain and came close to the permanent works which had been erected at the top of the mountain by the Japanese after it's capture, and but for meeting with an unexpected obstruction the Russians would have captured the works. A desperate fight followed al close quarters, and there were several fierce bayonet charges before the Rus sians were repulsed and driven down the slope of the mountain. $
 On the following day the Russians again attacked the whole line of the Japanese left and on the same night made another attempt to surprise the Japanese. Both of the attacks were re- pulsed.
 The Russian casualties during the three days fighting were 800 and those of the Japanese 300. By the middle of July the Japanese navy had cleared Talien bay of Russian mines and Dalny was made the depot and base of the third army. At the same time the force
