KUROPATKIN TRICKED.
Kurohi's MOUcment a Feint to CODer
Attack ON West.

Moukden March 7.--At the beginning Of the
operations westward the Russians. after sue
cession of fights. occupied five advanced posi-
tions. Their front extended along the Hun
River, resting on the villages Of Chian-Tsan-
He-Tan, where the Liao-Yang and Hsin- Min
Tun road crosses the Hun River. and Chandetai,
further west, where the First Corps was sta
toned.
The energetic advance Of the Japanese on
Tsinkhetchen caused General Kuropatkin to
send reinforcements eastward. The First Corps
was withdrawn and its place was occupied by
regiments of rifemen. The japanese, informed
of this weakening of the Russian line, threw
nine divisions against this advanced force. The
attacks the first day were repulsed. but news
coming In that the Japanese had four columns
moving up the Lao Valley and turning the
Russian right, the rihemen were ordered TO
retire along the east bank Of the river.
The Japanese on March were reinforced and
attacked syao-Tin-Puzi. taking the rifiemen and
the adjoining corps northward in the flank and
routing them with the heaviest losses.s At this
juncture General Kaulbars ordered the divisions
under the command of General Olembatoffsky to
attack and take at any cost the villages Of
Peithousi and Sathaizi, the Schach River.

ing the positions until the retirement was ef-
fected. The evacuation of the positions took
place in the night
At this time the Japanese were attacking Gen.
eraI Birega on the Tatchekiao and Hsin-Min-
Tun road and desperate fights were In progress
at San-Lin-Pou and San-Chin-Pu. As the Jap
anese were moving more northward 1t became
evident that further change Of front was
necessary. particularly the position at Sudu-
Dya-Pu was uncovered by the retirement OF
General Ivanoff from Tata-Yan. The japanese
directed series of heavy attacks in that direc-
tion and the village changed hands several
times, but finally remained IN the possession OF
the japanese.
The change OF front was conducted with
speed. In the course OF this operation It was
found necessary to burn the large commissariat
warehouses at Suhu-Dya-Pu, Chang-Tan and
Sfontai (Su-Fang-TaD.
On March three Japanese divisions began
heavy attack on the triangle formed by Aan-
Sfn-Tun Ou-Lin-Pu and Ma-Dya-Pu' sinul-
taneously advancing over a wide rront at
Shanza Han-Zin-Toun, San-Tat-Tze and POD

also continued on Zar-Sn-Toun and Ma-Dya-
