Thursdays news from the seat Of
war closed with the receipt Of two dis
patches giving information of a most
significant character as bearing on the
domination of Manchuria at the close
Ut the present campaign.
The first came from the Associated
Press correspondent at st. Petersburg,
filed there at 1915 p. m, and said that
General Kuropatkin had withdrawn his
whole army to the right bank Of the
Taitse river so as to meet General
Kuroki's flanking movement. The in
ference from this dispatch was that
Lao Yang had been evacuated, that
city lying on the left bank OF the
river.
Nothing to confirm this was received
until several hours later, when dis
patch from the Associated Press cor
respondent at st. Petersburg dated Sep
tember 2, and timed at 1:26 Friday
morning. said: The news Of the
evacuation Of Liao Yang and the with
drawal of the Russian army to the
right bank Of the Taitse river" had
caused intense excitement and tisap-
pointment.
The same dispatch points out with
notable lack Of comment that the jap
anese took advantage Of General Kuro-
patkin's withdrawal to occupy the city
Of Lao Yang.
The second dispatch, which may have
significant bearing on the campaign,
is that filed at Mukden at 9:27 p. m,
Thursday, stating that the train ser
vice between Mukden and Lao Yang
was interrupted. This may mean the
cutting Of railroad communication,
which would deprive General Kuropat-
kin of an opportunity to retreat to his
r:ore northern base at Mukden. AS
pointed out in the st. Petersburg dis
ratch, the Mukden correspondent does
rot mention whether telegraphic COM
munications are open.
S. Petersburg, BY Cable.-The news
of the evacuation Of Liao Yang and the
withdrawal of the Russian army to the
right bank OF the Taitse river, reached
only q small section of the people Of
St. Petersburg at late hour, and
caused intense excitement and disap-
pointment. The majority Of the in
habitants retired to rest believing that
the Russian arms had again been sue
cessful and that the Japanese attacks
had been repelled. Ugly suspicious,
however, had been rife during the day,
owing to the absence Of press kilograms
from Lao Yang, leading to the belief
that the communications had been cut
by General Kuroki.
The following statement was obtain
ed by the Associated Press from the
War Office at 10 o'clock Thursday
night.
General Kurokis army crossed in
force to the right bank Of the Taitse
river. and 1t therefore became neces-
sary for the Russians to be in posi-
tion to repel blow in this direction.
I'm view Of this development in the
operations, General Kuropatkin decided
to abandon his positions on the left
bank and to concentrate his whole
army on the other side OF the river.
This position is the strongest both IN
character and in site. The great issue
will be finally decided there.
MOTIVE FOR WITHDRAWAL.
by withdrawing to this position the
Russian army avoids the danger OF be-
ing divided by the river. and enjoys
the advantages Of compactness.
General Kuropatkin's move, there
fore, is not to be considered as re-
treat. but rather as the carrying out Of
a well defined idea.

THE SECOND DAYS FIGHTING
Graphic Description of Conflict. Be.
tween Large Forces.

Lao Yang, By Cable.-The second
days battle commenced at dawn. The
Russians made repeated bayonet ad-
vances on the road directly south OF
Lao Yang where the Japanese ap-
preached from Sanquaiship and Tao,
shelling the position in the Russian
lines until 4 in the afternoon, when
the engagement, which was general
throughout the south and southeast,
narrowed to the main line. The Japa-
nese advance on the southeast was by
way Of the Feng-Wang-Cheng road.
Immediately in front Of Chlaofantun
the Japanese stubbornly attempted to
occupy a round-topped hill. which was
literally shaved by Russian shells,
making repeated attempts the entire
day where apparently it was impossible
.or anything to live. The cannonading
continued from this point to the Vicin-
ity Of Wanspaotai until this evening,
without apparent advantage to either
side. The Japanese dropped shells with
in two or three miles of the railroad
station and in the plain OF Wentshu
Mountain, which is the most important
eminence around Lao Yang. but the
japanese abandoned aggression there
on account of the resistance they met.
There was cannon fire last night, and
this is expected nightly. The varied
casualties here included one Russian
war correspondent wounded and also
:5 Chinese women from Chiafon. The
days developments show that the Rus
slams are prepared for all emergencies.
Slow rain began to fall at noon. grad
ually Transforming the plain into will
derness through which the wounded, In
carts and walking, are tonight max
ing their way to the hospitals. Con-
sidering the scale Of the days opera
tions, the number Of Russian wounded
is apparently small, while the Japanese
losses are believed to be great, espe-
cially where they were repulsed on the
south road. Chinese graves with trees
are being levelled about Liao Yang IN
order not to interfere with the defence.
Developments are expected west ana
northeast.
The japanese are using balloons to
locate the Russian guns. One OF the
Russian correspondents Of the Asso-
cjated Press points out that the Japa-
rese sent up a balloon shortly after
daylight to the southeast of Lao Yang.
The Japanese are reported to be US
ing mortars to drop shells in the Rus
sian positions. These are probably the
high-angle-fre howitzers which were
reported in action earlier in the week.
It is said, however, that the japanese
are no longer enjoying the superiority
IN artillery, which stood them in such
good stead in the earlier months OF the
war. It was then hill fighting. and the
japanese mountain batteries, in which
arms the Russians were deficient. told
with deadly effect. Now the contest Is
IN comparatively open country, where
both the Russian field guns and the
Russian cavalry can come into more
effective use.
