was repulsed, being driven from his posi-
tons on the left. The japanese poured a
terrific shrapnel fire, one shell annihiat-
ing two Russian companies. In the even

KUROPATKIN's HOPES DASHED

According. TO the military authorities
ali kuropatkin's hopes and plans for vic
tory were dashed by the wonderful
CELEBRITY with which Oyama's right
pushed northward after crossing the
Taitse river Here Kuropatkin's in
formation evidently was faulty in beliey
ing that he had before him the whole of
the japanese forces which had crossed
over to the right bank. He had already
completed a preliminary t9mbardment Of
knroki's force Friday and was about to
strike him when he discovered that an
| other japanese column had crossed the
! river further up stream, and he worked
around still further northward The lat
ter column was marching with great
rapidly westward to cut the railroad and
close the door ON the Russian retreat to
Mukden. just at this point there is y
hyatus in the reports. Whether Kuro-
patkin actually attempted to deliver =
blow against kuroki is not clear At all
events IT he did he was comnellad to
desist upon the discovery of the nortbar,
| ly japanese column. The latter took him
! by surprise.
Gen. Orloff's division, which suffered
so severely. had just arrived from Euro.
pean Russia. Although this division was
thrown into confusion and lost a fright
iul number OF men, the temporary check
it was able to give the japanese probably
saved the railroad for Kuropatkin.
KUR0KI TOO LATE.
In the meantime Kuroki, freed from
lAuropatkln, marched hastily westward
to intercept Gen. Stakelberg, who was
crossing the river from the left bank. II
was then that Kuropatkin thought
Stakelberg's corps was lost and so re-
ported to the war office. But Kuroki
was too late. Stal;elberg not only sue
| ceeded in getting his corps across. but
marched at high speed thirty miles to
entail, actually arriving in time to come
TO the support Of the hard pressed Orloff.
1he war office processes ignorance of
the losses of guns and men sustained by
the Russians, but there is no doubt that
many thousands have fallen.
CONFUSION REIGNS.
The retreat of Kuropatkin has evil
IDENTITY thrown everything into confusion
at the front and the reports are meacer
and incomplete.
The military expert of the Noyoe Vre
mya says the chief question of the mo-
ment IS whether Kuropatkin will sue
coed in collecting all his forces from
Lao Yang and effecting a retirement to
Mnkden in view of the hanking position
taken up by the japanese

The Emperor has undergone a great
strain during the past week. His main
fear during the last few days has been
that Kuropatkin would be cut off. Like
his subjects, the Emperor has taken
kuropatkin's defeat greatly to heart. but
the preservation of the army organiza-
ton has been q great relief and his an
swer to the battle Of Lao Yang will be
the mobilization Of two more army corps.
So far as can be learned the Emperor
shows no disposition to blame Kuropat-
kin.
STORY OF CAMPAIGN.
Yentai, Sunday, Sept. 5.-[Delayed in
Transmission. THE Russians evacuated
their positions around Lao Yang during
the night of September 3. crossing the
Taitse river and burning the bridges be-
hind them. In the meantime a strong
force was holding Gen. kuroki back
from Ientai
The combined attack on Liao Yang be-
gan August 80. On August 81 the Shell
ing commenced at daylight from all
sides, but tho Russian infantry pressed
forward. Late that afternoon the news
came that kuroki was threatening the
railroad at 1entai and the Russians COM
menced to retire, enabling the japanese
to bring up two batteries and enflade the
Russian force along the railroad. Dur
ing the night the transport moved into
Lao Yang.
The RUSSIANS RETREAT.
On September l the Russians retreated
from their main positions, which formed
circle around the city, while the trans
port crossed the river. At = o'clock the
japanese succeeded in placing two guns
in position and shelled the railroad sta
ton, resulting in many casualties. At
the same time the japanese infantry at
tackled the Russian position but were re-
pulsed. In the evening the japanese
brought up heavy guns and used shimose
powder to shell the Russian town. The
Russians shelled the position till the
night of September 3, when they retired
across the river
