YANG BATTLE.

Toxic, Sept. 12.-An approximation
of the Japanese casualties in the bat
tie Of Liaoyang, based upon reports of
the chiefs of the medical corps, of the
three Japanese armies, was concluded
Sunday 1t covers the fighting from

killed and wounded amount to 1859
men, divided as follows:
In the Right army, under the COM
mand of General Kuroki, 1856 men;
in the Center army, under the COM
mand of General Nodzu, 1892 men,
and in the left army, under the COM
mand of General Oku, 1851 men.
These casualties include 1876 officers
killed and 464 officers wounded. The
fact that the army under General Oku
sustained the heaviest losses is ac-
counted for by its assaults upon the
Russian defenses to the south Of Lao

EVENTS AT PORT ARTHUR.
Russian Artillery Destroys Some Jap.
anese Trenches.

Chefoo, Sept. 12.-According to the
latest news received here from Port
Arthur the Russians on Sept.
shelled the Japanese covered trenches
in front of Palichuang and destroyed
them. One small Russian scouting
party succeeded in creeping close to
the Japanese intrenchments on Corner
mountain but the barking of dogs
gave the alarm and prevented further
advance. Japanese reserves poured
into the intrenchments and opened
fire on the Russians, but shell from
a Russian battery landed in the trench
and killed many of the Japanese sol.
diers, and the remainder retired.
The Port Arthur Novi Krai, in re-
cent issue. declared that Japanese
colonel has been executed because he
failed to occupy certain position on
Corner hill within a specified time. In
it's issue of Sept 2, the same paper
says that Japanese torpedo boat
struck a m ne fourteen miles south
east of the harbor and sank, and that
on the day after this occurrence the
Japanese cruiser Tsukushima also was
damaged by floating mine.
