The Russians are now using powder evi

ground, the Japanese have found at severe
cost,, prevents a successful Issue. ItsshariTT
however,' will, It Is said, be engaged by ar
tillery from - Louisa bay and Shushtyem,
for th purpose of attracting the fire of
Itsshan away from the main attack. The
Informant of the, Associated Press quotes
an Argentine colonel, who is with the Jap
anese, as saying that th Russian de
fense facing the Japanese have been made
with a perfection undreamed of. The in
ner .sides of the fort, however, are not 'so
well - constructed and are supposedly far
weaker.
With Rlhlungshan and Klkwanshan cap
tured the Japanese will practically control
an entrance along the railway, and they
contemplate assaulting other forts from
their weaker sides. The Japanese say they
are prepared to lose heavily in taking Rlh
lungnhan and Klkwanshan. These forts.
like a majority of the fifty-four forts sur
rounding Port Arthur, have six-Inch steel
shields loopholed with rapid-fire guns at
intervals. These, guns, according to the
Associated Press Informant, not land mines,
have , proved most disastrous to the Jap
anese. The shields are Impervious to field
artillery. Nothing but siege guns will make
an Impression upon them. Th Russians
also send strong electrlo currents through
th .wire entanglements . surrounding the
forts. ., . . . , -..:

TIB PASS, Manchuria, Sept. 16. The
breakdown of Qeneral 1 Xouropatkin's
strategy, when he had withdrawn his main
aimy to the right bank of the Taltse river,
after General Kurokl had crossed the
stream above Liao Yang, Is explained as
follows: -
The movement was beautifully planned.
Kouropatkln Intended to engage' Kurokl,
push a column up the right bank and com
pletely Isolate him from. Generals Oku and
Nodtu.'on yie other' side of the river. Only
an accident upset his plan. Oeneral Stakel
berg's 'corps, which was still on the left
bank, at the. extreme right, failed to stand
up against the superior force of the Japa
nese. . When Stakelberg reported that he
waa retreating It seemed to Kouropatkln
that a portion of his army, which he had
faced eastward, with the right resting1 oi
the river and the left unprotected, might
be envelopud . by tb Japanese in pursuing
Stakelberg. He therefore drew off and re
formed, his front, and the retreat from Yen

September 8.
LIAO TANG. Sept. 4. (Via Tien Tsln,
Sept. 10.) The Japanese at S o'clock- yester
day .evening discovered that the Russian's
had evacuated Mao Yang and at 11 o'clock
they sent scouting parties .to the southern
and western walls of the city. At 1
o'clpck this morning the troops of the vie
torlous army quietly entered and occupied
Llao Yang, General Kouropatkln's former
base And stronghold. This success was
achieved after five days of glorious fight
Ing. ,
After General Kurokl had noted the march
of the Tenth Russian army corps, which
he had driven In from the Anplng road to
the plain,, on Its way to join the Russlun
center wmcn uenerai rtocxu naa lorceu in
from Kaofengshl, be divided his forces sta
tioned in Anplng and on the Fengwang
Cheng roads. He took care to have a
sufficiently strong force on the Fangwang
cheng road, on General Nodsu's extreme
right, ancVsent to General Nodxu, who was
pushing -with the Japanese center slong the
Mengchlafeng and south roads, one brigade
to Mengchlafang, three reglmonta to Chlao
fantun and two regiments to the south
road. General Kurokl In the meantime
waited quietly with two divisions on the
south bank of th Taltsa river.
ltodaa's Batteries at Work.
On August 2t the artillery under General
Nodsu bombarded fiercely the three hills
at Chlafantun. On the same day Generul
Oku, in command of the Japanese left
army, working his way with ride Are and
artillery, slowly advanced along the rail
road In spite of the Russian opposition
from neighboring elevations arid fortifica
tions. ' Th left army thus moved toward
Shussean. The Russian cavalry was not
able to locate the Japanese trenches on this
advance.
The character of the Japanese advance
apparently had served as a warning to
General Kouropatkln to make sure of his
retreat, and his transport was at once seen
moving rapidly out of LJao Yang over th
railroad bridge.
On August M the Japanese closed in on
the Russians in their mountain position at
Chlsofantun. Here the guns were so close
to each other that tt was almost possible
for the batt-y commanders to see each
other's spectacles.
At 10 o'clock on the morning of August
30 General Kouropatkln's stall moved out
of Llao Yang. At the same time rifle fire
was heard drawing nearer to th railroad
station and this was an Indication of -the
sure advance of the Japanese left army.
The fences around all the houses at Llao
Yang had been removed In order to facili
tate the movement of wagons and troops.
Wounded men, of whom none were seen
on August 29, wers trailing along the roads
from the south and southwest Into Llao
Yang on August SO. The Russians, made
use of a field balloon all day long on the
JOth and by means of It they got the range
of one Japanese battery, which they suc
ceeded in putting out of action.
As a general thing, however, they failed
to find either the enemy's batteries or Its
troops, while the JaDanese continued to
silence Russian battery after battery.
At S o'clock In the afternoon of the 30th
the Japanese shelled a Russian battery
posted on, a hill three miles of Llao Yang,
out snortiy after, this hour It became ap-
rarent that the, Russians had begun to
old their own. By 4 o'cloqk In the after
noon- the Japaneae ahrapne,! fire waa con
fined to" the position at Chlaofantun, where"
the Russians were disputing every hlllbck
with the enemy. The Japanese made re
peated, but unsuccessful, assaults Upon this
position. The fighting of the SOth came to
close at 7 o'clock in. the evenina-: The
Russian casualties for the 29th and SOth
totalled more than 6.000 men. '
Th Japanese, from a low range of hill
to the southeast and south of Shushan,
began shelling the northern end of the
Russian line at Shushan at 9:45 on the
morning of the Slat.
Infantry Rashes Follow.
This artillery nre was preceded and ac
companied by Infantry rushes over the
valley and the lower hills south of the
road. They began before dawn and were
continued until evening, the Japanese offi
oera urging their worn-out and fainting
men with the points of their swords. There
was very hard fighting at a round-toppea
hill in the Russian line opposite the point

Rasalaaa Ready ta Pall Back.
At nightfall General Stakelberg. with the
First corps, was still firing at General Oku
on th left. Thla Russian corps had lost
1,000 men. .
During the night of th 31st the Russian.
deemed the position of the enemy to be
so threatening that they made preparations
to fall back.
General JvanofT and his command were
stationed on General Btakelberg'a right
and facing Oeneral Nodsu and the Japa
nese center army. General Ivanoft had suc
ceeded the late Lleutensnt General Count
Keller to th oomniand of th Russian east
ern army. He had removed his headquar
ters from the village of Tashl, in the mid
dle of the southern plain, to a point within
the ahelter of the city walla and on the
road which leads to Yental by a pontoon
bridge across the Taltse river. During the
night of the Slst the Tenth corps, which
had assisted In holding the Peng Wang
Cheng road against the Japanese, began
moving Its transports out of the city to
th north.
The Seventeenth corps, which had not as
yet been In action, and which was being
held on th north bank of the Taltse river,
was deployed Jn the hills and had been
partly moved to tbe northward. Part of
the Fifth oorpa, which arrived her a short
lime before the fighting began, .had been
sent at one to the front, while . the re
mainder , had reported with the Second
corps and was being held in reserve.
Tbe correspondent .noticed on this morn
Inr an unbroken line of ammunition wag
ons, batteries pf artillery and Russian
troops using'' the railroad bridge to get out
of Llao Yang to the north.
Karaat's Past March.
It became known that General Kurokl
was making a dash around ths Russian left
for tb railroad at a joint Afta miles
north of here. Ifa crossed th Talta river
the night of August SO and took th splen-
did Russian defenses at Penlshu with very
little effort He continued to advance stead-
lly and turned the Russian left. His army
covered fifteen miles in quick time. The ef-
fect of his presence and movements wss to
force the Russlsns to leave Lino Tang and
retire In the direction of the coal mines east
of Yental. He threatened to eut General
KouroDatkln's army of seven corps In two.
n Metreat Besrlas.
The Russians filled all the trenches, rifle
pltg and forts to the west and south ot
Llao Yang with fresh troops at noon Sep-
tember 1. They kept up a continual shrap-
nel fire upon the Japanese approaches wun-
o,. h.i ...r. of the extra movements of
the enemv. Durlna this time the main body
of the Russian army was In actlvs retreat.
At o'clock in the evening the shells were
falling Just outside the western walls and
on the Russian heliograph station st the
northwest corner of the city. From this
station the Japanese could now be seen.
They were advancing splendidly over ths
southern hills. Their formation was regu
lar snd open. Th ranges of the Jspanese
positions were known to the Russian gun
ners, who poured In a terrible and destruc
tive fire. In th meantime a Japanese bat
tery and two companies of Infantry were
seen skirting th main soutb road. They
wer moving toward the city and finally
disappeared behind Kow Liang.
The fighting around Llao Yang was re
sumed at daybreak September S, when
shells wer thrown In from lbs entire
Japanese Una. '
General Kurokl severed his connection
with the Japanese center army and left
the Anplng road unprotected. This army
was In front af the last Russian position
In th coal mlnlrlg district to the east of
Yental. The Importance and effect 01
Kurokl's dash to the rear of the Russian
army was particularly noticed this morn

Yang was prevented by tbe retaking of
this hill, which lies to the east of Yental.
The Russians? however, could not hold the
hill, and the Japanese were again soon In
possession. General Kurokl's attack at
Yental waa soon relaxed, however, and
General Mistchenko and his command was
withdrawn from the Russian defenders of
Yental and sent over to the west side of
the railroad to make a demonstration snd
to aid In covering the retreat of the main
army. At I o clock In the afternoon of
September 2 two Russian regiments who
had been beaten to the east of Yental re
treated toward Yental.
The . cannonading came to an end when
the sun went down. Throughout the night
of September t It broke out again fitfully.
but the periods were of short duration.
The morning of September B showed that
General Kurokl had not attained his ob
ject, but the victory of the Japanese ap-
peered to be complete. Russian troops and
reiugees rrom uiao Tang in rickshaws
were pouring north along the railroad, and
along the main highway on their way to
Mukden.
The Russian press censors who were sta-
tloned at Llao Yang, Yental and Mukden,
had fled to Harbin. Newspaper correspond-
ents were Instructed to send their tele-
grams to Harbin. Port Harbin Is about
S40 miles up the railroad ' from Llao Yang.
The Japanese are preparing to make Llao
Yang the headquarters of their Manchurian
armies. . t -
