SLOWLY on the enemy on tnaJ Gay.
The japanese, however, refused to
be drawn into an attack until the po-
sition of the Russians, their guns and
their strength had been fully devel-
oped.
To this end the japanese began Sc
ries of careful manoeuvres, their Off
GERS working their way close enough
to the Russian position to draw the
enemy's fire. They, thus secured frag-
ments of shells for the purpose of
ascertaining the calibre of the Russian
guns. They discovered that the bate
ries on Nanshan Hill included four
howitzers of about 15-centimeters cali
bre, ten old style cannon of between
9 and 15-centimeters calibre, and two
quick firing guns of 12-centimeters.
The japanese discovered also
a number Of large emplacements, but
they did not learn the number of guns
contained therein. These emplace-
ments faced to tie north and to the
east.
The guns fired by the Russians de-
veloped range of $500 metres. Eight
heavy guns, posted on the Russian
right in the vicinity of Husanftao,
also were discovered and another
these reconnoissances was On another
strong Russian position developed by
hill southwest of Nanshan Hill, where
the Russians had a series of shelter
trenches. On the shore of Talien
Wan Bay, close to the head of the bay,
the Russians had established a series
of positions. Here were set up the
searchlights which nightly played over
the japanese angle, in the hills to the
northwest.
Further reconnoissances developed
the fact that west of Liu CHA Tien
the Russians had no defences. Extend
ing to the northward from, Yen CHA
Tien, to the vest coast Of the Liao
Tung Peninsula, there we're no de-
fecces whatsoever. except the force
posted at Kin Chou. This gap in the
defence was a fatal defect in the Rus
sian position. and when it was per-
ceived the Japanese extended their
right to the north and east, envelop-
ing Kin Chou, and the Russian ex-
treme right The japanese left was
also extended to Yang CHA Tung, on
the shore of Talien Wan Bay, and the
centre moved forward:
Wednesday morning at half-past
FIVE, the japanese attacked Kin Chou,
and for three hours they had an artil-
lery duel with the batteries on Nan
shan Hill. The Russian gunners
searched the japanese lines with their
fire bus failed to inaict much damage.
The battle was resumed at dawn on
Thursday.
Three japanese gunboats then en-
tered Kin Chou Bay, and, in co-ope-
ration with the artillery on shore,
shelled the Russian positions on Nam
shan Hill.
A Russian gunboat in Talien Wan
Bay steamed close to the shore and
shelled the Japanese feet.
From dawn the batteries on both
sides hammered away at each other.
At an early hour the japanese in
fantry moved forward and at twenty
minutes past five on Thursday morn
ing they entered Kin Chou, the Rus
SLAMS retiring to the south
The fighting continued into Thurs
day night, the Japanese pressing to
the south and storming Narshan Hill.
They followed the retreating Russians
through the southern hills.
The reports received here fail to
cover the events on the Russian right.
1t is probable, however, that the Rus
SLAMS have abandoned these positions.

Frenchman, who left Dalny on the
night of the 22nd and arrived here TO-
night. He says that eight large war
ships circled before the entrance of
Port Arthur harbor for one hour,
firing broadsides at intervals of ten
minutes:
Up to the time this Frenchman left
Dalny everything was quiet there, but
an attack on the part of the japanese
was expected hourly. The military
and civil officials Of Dalny are ready
to leave. Only few civilians remaiQ
there.
The attempt made about fortnight
ago to destroy the docks and piers
at Dalny was not successful and after
the receipt of the news OF the loss of
the japanese battieship Hatsuse,
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel, commander of
the military forces at Port Arthur,
ordered that the docks and pier be not
destroyed.
The japanese are in force at Pitsewo
and Kin Chou and are ready to march
down either SIDE Of the peninsula
toward Port Arthur.

HARD FIGHTING IN PROGRESS

ST.. Petersburg, May 26, $40 p: m.-
While no news has been received from
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel, commander of
the Russian troops at Port Arthur, the
war Office is inclined to believe that
severe fighting is in progress in the
southern part of Liao Tung peninsula
above the narrowest point of the
peninsula but no credence is attached
to the reports of the japanese having
entered the Kwang Tung peninsula,
outh of and connected with the Lao
Tung peninsula. This is considered
impossible before the capture of Kin
Chou. which it is believed here would
involve long and difficult siege opera
tions.
The general staff denies the rumors
of the final evacuation of New Chwang
and says the heavy guns were not
taken back when the town was reoc-
cupied.
No changes of Importance in the
positions of Gen. Kuroki or Gen. Ku-
ropatkin are reported.

NEW CHWANG ISOLATED.

ST. Petersburg, May 25.-Telegraphic
communication with New Cwaug is
interrupted and private messages for
points south of Liao Yang are refused
here at the telegraph Office. The na-
ture of the Interruption with New
Chwang is not known but the cause
;or refusing messages south of Lao
Yang is the complete absorption Of
the lines for military purposes.

LOOKS MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS.

St. Petersburg, May 25. 225 p. m.
There are indications that Gen. ku
ropatkin is preparing to make a very
important move against the enemy.
One of the reasons for this belief is
the suddenly increased restrictions
upon The war correspondents at the
front. The prevailing belief here is
that Gen. Kuroki's army is IN diff
culties.
