KUROKI DRIVING
RUSSIANS BACK
Kuropatkin Is Badly Defeated Near
Liao Yang.
BIS FORCES RETREATING NORTH

Toxic. Aug. 4.-General Kuroki has
administered n severe defeat to the
Russian forces which defended the
Russian east flank at Lao Yang. win
ming separate actions at YushulikZu
and Yangse Pass. These two places
are 26 miles apart. but the two actions
were fought at the same time. The
Russians held strong positions. The
thermometer registered over 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit. and the soldiers suf-
fered cruelty from heat exhaustion.
At Yushulikzu the Russians had two
divisions of infantry and some artil-
lery. and they resisted the Japanese
assaults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn
on Sunday. July 81. At YushulikZu
the Japanese carried the Russian right
and left wings. but on account of the
| strength of the main Russian position
they were unable to press the attack.
The two armies rested Sunday night.
| facing each other At dawn on Mon
day the Japanese resumed the attack.
and by noon they had dislodgcd the
enemy and driven him four miles to
Laoholing.
Their artillery opened on the enemy
and the infantry moved from Maku-
meZa The attack on this place was
made at l o'clock on Sunday. and by
nightfall the Japanese were in posses
sion of a majority of Russian positions,
although the enemy had resisted with
| determination. The Japanese forces
passed the night in battle formation
and another assault was made on Mon
day at dawn. BY s o'clock Monday
morning Yangse Pass and the sur
rounding heights had been captured.
General Kuroki explains the slowness
OF these actions by saying that the
difficult topography of the battle fileds
made it impossible to secure good ar
tillery positions. and that the great
heat fatigued his troops.
The Russian force at Yangse Pass
was estimated at two and one-half di-
visions and four batteries of artillery.
The enemy retreated toward Tang
hoyen.
General Kuroki reports the capture
of some field guns. but the number is
not given. The Japanese casualties
are being Investigated.

JAPS CAPTURE HAICHENG
Defeated Russians Retire to Lao Yang
In Perfect Order

St Petersburg. Aug Am a dis
patch to the emperor, dated August 2,
General Kuropatkin says:
"Our troops have retired from Hal
cheng along the road toward Anshan-
shan. The movement was accomplish
sd in perfect order. and the enemy
did not disturb u.s."
There has been complete and omi-
nous silence regarding events at the
frcnt since the receipt of General Ku-
ropatkin's brief dispatch of August 2.
Even this meagre official information
was anticipated By earlier adviccs to
the Associated Press.
There are neither official nor press
dispatches to indicate the progress of
iSi.tine around Lao Yang. where it is
felt that n most serious situation must
exist. II is thought possible that there

THESE three points form ring of
ciosclyfrii Ge:Cnses around Lao Yang
and enable General Kuropatkin to risk
a general engagement. The only cause
for anxiety is Anping. and General
Kuropatkin's words that he hoped the
troops would hold that place indicate
a misgiving. The jar @nesc evidently
realized the advantage of attacking
this point and directed their strongest
advance along the Saisatzi-Liao Yang
line
From the best information obtain
able as to General Kuropatkin's dis
positions his forces were located this
morning as follows:
General Zaroubaieff's and General
Stakelberg's corps formed the right
wing at Anshanshan. The First Siber-
ian and the Tenth European carps
were on the left The recently arrived
Seventeenth corps and the portion of
