Russians to check their onward move

The present position of the Japanese
is dominating one and they may force
the abandonment of the fortiications
erected by the Russians at Antung and
other points lower down the river.
General Kuroki began the movement
on Tuesday by ordering detachment
OF the Imperial Guards division 10 seize

Japanese battery on a hill above Wiju
dominated the position, which the Rus
SLAMS eventually were forced to relin>

The desperate character Of the struggle
there may have been due to the neces-

below. The entire force on the Yalu,
which extended along the front over
thirty miles, with reserve supports fif-
teen miles back according to the best
