London. May 27.--A Toxic dispatch
to the Associated Press and the Jap
anese legation accounts are the only
detailed descriptions that have reachd
London OF the japanese victory al
Kinchou. The victory 10 hailed by the
London press as establishing more GER
tainly than did the operations on the
Yalu, the superiority OF the Japanese
on land as well as by sea, since In the
case Of Kinchou, IL not at Yalu. the
Russians had ample time to carefully
prepare their positions 1t appears
that conclusive victory was immedI-
ately followed up. for the Posts Toxic
correspondent asserts that the Jap
anese have swept the Russians from
their defenses west OF Tallenwan.

Informed correspondent is correct and
the Japanese are already nearing Port
Arthur, the Russians must have suf-
fered complete route. That the Rus
SLAMS were not only defeated but
routed, would also appear by the num-
erous captures of Russian artillery.

legation has received the following de-
tails concerning the attack on Kin
chou:
"The enemy built several covered
trenches around the fort and on Nan
hill. After several attempts the Jap
anese finally succeeded In taking the
enemy's position by storm and in driv-
Ing them toward Nan Kuling. The
fighting lasted 16 hours. Admiral Togo
telegraphs a report sent to him from
the captain commanding a detached
squadron, consisting Of four gunboats
and a torpedo boat fiotilla, to the effect
that the squadron reached Kinchou
bay, and cooperating with the army,
bombarded Nan Hill on May rs. and,
on witnessing our army occupying the
forts on the hill, the squadron with
