Special CaoIe Despatch to TIRE SUN.
TOXIC, Sept. 5.-Tokio and Yok ohama
celebrated the Liaoyang victory last night
with flags and illuminations. The displays
OF the electric light and street car COM
panies and the Mitsui Bank were especially
brilliant.
The Asdhi publishes an interview with a
staff officer who says that the chief cause
Of the Russian defeat at Laoyang was
Gen. Kuroki's detour around the Russian
left which menaced the Russian line OF re-
treat to the north. This foiled Gen. Kuro-
patkn's plan for decisive action at Anshan-
chan and caused division OF his forces. a
sudden retreat and general confusion.
The Japan Mol, commenting upon the
Japanese assault upon the Russian posi-
tons, says that IL was marked by rare per-
sistenoe. The armies of the left and centre
we're engaged increasingly for five days
and nights, and the army Of the right was
engaged even longer than that.
The Nichi Nichi expresses itself satisfied
with the effect of the operations at Laoyang
on friends and enemies. They have in
creased Japan's international importance.
The public appreciates the bravery of
the Russians in the night assaults at Lao
yang, their determined defence and their
skilful retreat.
A despatch from Shanghai reports that
the Liaoyang-Mukden railway has been
badly damaged by rains in various places
1t has been repaired temporarily.
1t is reported that steamer the Russians
sank to block the dock at Dalny has been
relocated and can be used again. The
Japanese are already using sixteen launches
that were sunk near the pier.

fighting at Liaoyang on Aug. 81. The
Japanese kept up an unceasing artillery
fire from daybreak until 10 o'clock, when
their infantry, in dense columns, attacked
the Russian Entertainments, oh arging with
astonishing intrepidity almost up to the
batteries.
They fired volley after volley until they
were within $50 PAGES Of the Russian in
trenchments.
In preparation for a hand to-hand en-
counter, the Russian officers drew their
swords and revolvers, when the timely ar
rival Of reserves rendered it impossible for
the Japanese force to drive the attack
home.
In some places the railway embankment
alone separated the adversaries, and the
Russians could see distinctly the faces oil
the Japanese soldiers and hear the COM
mands OF their officers.
Hidden pits, dug by the Russians, were
filed with Japanese dead. The opposing
troops were so close that they hurled stones
at one another. A continuous artillery fire
WAS kept up during the engagement
Gen. Kuropatkin watched the operations
in the evening from the position occupied
by the First Army Corps. The final stages
o! the battle were fought in terrific storm
of thunder and lightning, amid which the
shrapnel rent the air.
Liaoyang was enveloped in mingled storm
clouds and smoke. The lower slopes Of
the surrounding hills were seething with
slaughter. 1t seemed impossible that any
one could escape from the shambles. But
no one wished to escape.
When command to retire was given to
a battery which had lost forty OF its gunners

At O'Clock in the evening a torrential
rain stopped the firing, but the moment
the rain ceased the firing was recommended,
