SIX GUNS ABANDoNED.

At $40 D. m. I received a report that regi-
ment posted at the extreme right flank had re-
tired from it's position in the mountains having
had its flank turned. Six disabled guns were
, abandoned. Two officers were killed and TWO
wounded and the commander Of a battery was
injured.
Before this had happened the Japanese had
placed two more batteries on the le1t OF IhoSo
which had previously taken up their posltoh
there and with their batteries on the extreme
left they began to lombard our battery as well
as to enflade the right flank Of our formation
This was the cause of the destruction Of our
battery and the serious loss of troops on our
right flank. The battery was completely shat
tered but at the beginning of the action we sue
ceeded in saving four guns, while four others
were left on the field completely disabled. or
the four saved. however. two had to be spiked
and abandoned owing to lack Of horses.
RUSSIANS TAKE THE OFFENSIVE.
With the view Of distracting the attention OF
the Japanese from our right flank. 1 directed
Colonel Lepovatz at o'clock when the heat had
diminished to order the soldiers to take off their
equipment and assume the offensive. To sup
port this offensive movement ordered our bat
teries to open hot fire the ridges held by the
japanese. The fire OF our guns, which had pro-
viously bombarded this point. was murderous.
and the japanese again sustained many killed
or wounded.
Our attack in open order astonished all be-
holders. Our men in this formation advanced
swiftly across the principal mountain range
rushing on both sides with fixed bayonets on the
Japanese, who were unable to sustain the shock
and quickly evacuated the three crests they had
occupied I am informed by Major Lordkipa-
nitze that those who remained were bayoneted.
After this brilliant affair I ordered Colonel
Lepovatz TO stop and push no further. At
o'clock I received an order to'retre in the direc-
tlon OF Hai-Cheng.
According 10 the report Of the commander OF
a Cossack regiment which reconnoitred the val
ley OF Dapoutzza during the battle, we'll as
organized the delivery of ammunition and the
removal Of wounded. three divisions of japanese
were observed moving through the town OF
Haputzza.
our losses on July 80 and July 81 have been
up to the present estimated at twenty nine off,
GERS and slightly over a thousand men killed
or wounded.

 REPLY.
Ireland's $ Grievance
 Related at Length
The Irish Question is Not Shelved Yet Even if Concessions Were Made to Leaders of Party Last Year.

London, Feb 8. or the Irish party there is no such thing as an alterna4l tive policy to home rule," declared John Redmond, the leader of the Irisil' parliamentary party, in the house of commons to-day, as he resumed the debate on the address and in reply to- the speech from the throne. MT Reds mond proceeded, in speech of great length, to detail the various griev- ances of Ireland, incidentally inform ing the Liberals that 1t was delusion to suppose they could count on Irish support by promising an alternative policy to home rule. Because the Irish obtained a valuable act last year remedying some of the evils of past government some persons seemed to think that the Irish question was shelved, but no concession could weak en the demand for government. On the contrary, every concession they had obtained or might obtain would be used for the furtherance of the con- test for home rule.

Chamberlain Advocates As- sociatiOn of Liberal
 UniOniSts.

London, Feb 3.--Ine liberal union ists, at a meeting of their executive council held here to-day. decided to maintain organization. The meeting was called to discuss the situation aris- ing from the publication, January Il, of the correspondence between Joseph Chamberlain and the Duke of Devon shire, former president of the councl. MT Chamberlain presided and made a speech setting forth the necessity of the existence of the association. He said nothing had happened to in any way interfere with its future useful ness, and added that the danger which the association was formed to combat could only disappear by declaration Of the Irish party that they had aban- doned all hope of their intention Of converting Great Britain to home rule.
 Only two members voted against the resolution providing for the main tenance of the association.
 Another resolution instructed the council to assist the liberal unionist candidates without regard to their opinions on the fiscal question, the only qualification necessary being their readiness to support Premier BaIfour.

IS SURELY
 GOING OUT.
Prosecutor Durant
 Gets Deposition.
Messrs Fruin and Sullivan Say He Never Got Rake Off Board Of Safety May Take Hand in Gambling Game.

It is evident that the strained rela- tions which have existed between the office of prosecuting attorney and the police department, occasionally for some years have at last reached a eli max, and in consequence, one of the next measures which the board of safety may take up is the final sup pression of gambling houses, policy games, and poker playing. A depo- sition made by John H. Fruin and John T. Sullivan has been for some days in possession of certain officials, and, it is said, copy of it has been given to the board of safety.
 Regarding the existence of gamb- ling houses and such Illegal ventures in the city there has been for years considerable friction between the po- lice department and the prosecutor, each blaming the other for theiz pres- ence here While the good people of the city were clamOring for their SUD- pression, the police and the prosecutor were wrangling oyer the question of responsibility for their existence.
 Not very long ago this condition of affairs reached the attention of Judge Burpee. One morning case for keep ing gambling house or playing policy was before Judge Burpee and the dis position of it was far from pleasing to the police. The police claimed the prosecutor had in his possession evi- dence that could not fail to bring about the decision which they had worked for. There was the greatest uneasiness In both the police depart ment and the office of the prosecutor for a day or so.
 However, that was not, the last of this state of things between the police and the prosecutor, and the latter some time ago made up his mind to retire, and his resignation is now in the hands of Attorney Burpee, 'tis said. MT Durant would first convince all with whom he had official rela- tions. that his skirts were as clean as the day he took office and that If mis- takes were made they were not the result of indifference or neglect on his part.
 Accordingly, one day last week MT Durant, accompanied John H. Fruin and John T. Sullivan to the office of John F. Kellogg, chairman of the re publican city committee and assistant states attorney. The result of that visit was that MT Fruin and MT Sulli- van declared on oath that they never paid MT Durant or to anybody else for
 him, any money for protecting them in
 games of chance or any Illegal ven
 lures. In fact, they never paid hin
 hush" money in any form.

 req, wit complete Japanese charts of

 Tn consequence of the narrow and
 dangerous entrance at low water it
 took the warships three days to get out of the harbor. The accomplish
 ment of this task is regarded as spec tally important, owing to the danger
 of the ships being immured by an ac-
 cident in the channel.
 Te cruiser Digit. the torpedo gum boat Caidamak, the sloop-of-war Zab- fyaka, four gunboats and the torpedo fiotilla remain inside.
 Simultaneously the third brigade of Siberian rifles and two batteries of ar tilfery started far an unannounced destination from Liao- Yang, south of Mukden.

 The telegraph company declines to accept any more press or private mes sages, so they will have to be routed via Che-Foo.
 Forty eight hours quarantine has been ordered against Che Foo on ac- count of smallpox The authorities declare the naval and military dispositions should be re- garded as precautionary. not as offen- siye.
