tillery. The Russian lost 100 killed and
wounded. Including on officer killed and
Brigadier General Nadeln slightly wounded.
The Japaneae losses are not known,, but it
is believed they, were heavy. The enemy'
advance on Kin Chou was arrested.
The general staff Insist that this attack
oft the Russian troop was arranged, to
take place simultaneously with a landing.
of Japanesetroop In Kerr bay, which wa
unsuccessful owing to a number of Rus
sian mine there. The general staff ex.
peota ta hear of another stubborn fight at
Kin Chom. The landing of a Japaneae
force to flank Kin Chou will be exceedingly
difficult and the water of Tallenwan bay
are too shallow to permit a debarkation of
troop.
The general staff ay the whole region
northwest of Feng Wang Cheng Is clesr of
Japaneae and that reinforcements are (Tally
arriving at Llao Yang.
The statement from New Chwang that
there la telegraphic communication ' be

on high! authority that th order of Vice

(Copyright by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
PARIS, May 22.-r-(New. York Herald Ca
blegram Special Telegram to The Bee.)
The Herald s European edition publishes
the following from its military expert:
"Chance, which plays a great' role In
war, as In cards, has apparently ceased to
favor tha Japanese. The three armored
ships or cruisers which have been sunk
through mine are a loss they will feel
much, Inasmuch as their fleet is deprived
of several Important fighting units.
"But these three catastrophes following
on another as blow on blow will, above
all, have the appreciable result of making
their squadrons less venturesome and more
timid. They will compel tliem henoeforth
to venture near the coast only, after they
have assured themselves as well as they
can that some floating mines are not sown
there, when they ure going to bring their
broadside to bear for a bombardment
The contrary effect is immediately produced
among the Russians, and we have already
seen a whole flotilla ot torpedo boats dart'
Ing out of Port Arthur and throwing them
selves upon the big vessels of the Japanese
and profiting by the momentary confusion
which followed the sinking of the Hatsuso.
At the same time one or two bold officers
pass at a gallop with a weak escort ot
Cossacks across th slender cordon of
troop blocking the isthmus of Km Chau,
and thus making communication 'with the
Officer commanding the gallant defenders
of Port Arthur. The garrison has thus

, Check for tli Army.
"On the other side, to the north of Feng
Wang Cheng, the Russian have driven
back victoriously on their main army some
advanced guard of th Japanese, and a a
result there was, If not a retreat, at least
much hesitation in the march of the Japa
nese columns engaged.' That region, it
must not be forgotten, I covered with
numbers of Cossacks, and It Is certain that
It th invasion foreseen and described by
the Dally Mail Is a reality, General Kouro
patkln recognises its importance and direc
tion and that it Is In his power,' conse
quently, to oppose it there, employing for
the purposethe means which he Judges
best. '
'It ihas been seen also that his troop
know in their turn how to fall on the
enemy who are too daring.
"Wo have already had occasion to point
out that according to every probability
General Kouropatkin must have his army
poated parallel to the railroad and af
fronting the aoutheast of Mukden to Llao
Yang, with his right wing bent toward the
west, aq as to control In this way a broken
line In front of the defense of the last
named place.
Position of Japaneae. .
"A for the Japanese, the position of
their various columns are well marked. On
th west on part lies toward Kal Chow
In ' the center is General Oku's mighty
corps landing at Taku Shan, and marching
from Bin Yien toward Hal Cheng; further
to th east I a corps of General Kurokl'
army, whose left, after having passed Feng
Wang Cheng, has been halted and hurled
back near the mo Tien pass; ana, lastly.
the column of the right, who made thla
bold raid toward Mukden:
Newa from different source leads Us
to believe that the Russian general ha
been obliged to carry back from Mukden
towarda Thle Ling and Kal Yuen th
greater part of hi provisions, which wer
accummulated at Llao Yang, to supply his
army on the right bank of the Houng Ho,

upported by the railroad. In many villages

It will not be t seless on this subject to
call attention 'to the difficulty which the
Russians ar experiencing in protecting
this single line track In th neighborhood
of the Chines frontier. Twenty-flv to
30.0CO are employed In this arduous task,
which demands in thla hostile region a
