General Count Keller was killed In
the attack on his force near Lao
Yong just as the Siberian infantry
commanded by him had repulsed a
savage assault. Mortally wounded by
a Japanese shell, General Keller lived
long enough to realize that his defense
had been successful and that the
enemy had fallen back.
A cable despatch reports the terrific
onslaught to which General Mistchen-
ko was subjected at Hai-Cheng, and
under which he was obliged to retire.
The Japanese artillery fire in this
battle was remarkably effective but
owing to the ineficiency of their cav
airy they were unable to follow up the
advantage gained for them by their
gunnerS.
