Four of those guns already have been mentioned In tlieRO dis patches us being lu action.

Tho Third Russian corps repulsed a hot Japanese assault, the Japanese being hurled hack by bayonet charges, firstly, by the Twen-ty-thlrd, and then by tho Twenty fourth regiments, which repulsed tho enemy r.o less than six times. Two Japanese companies which succeeded In occupying a Russian position, wero mistaken for Russians and annihilated by Japanese artillery fire. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon tho Japaneso concentrated their fire on a Russian southern detachment and also tried to outflank the detachment from tho right under tho protection of tho bat teries. One company after another was noticed running swiftly to tho westward in an attempt to outflank the positions, but a Russian regiment and a battery were ordered to advance and succeeded In forcing tho enemy to retreat in disorder, evacutlng posi tions they previously had gained. There has been an Immense expedi ture of ammunition throughout tho day, especially on the southern front against the Russian Third corps. It is believed that the Russian losses so far have not been very heavy, except to the regiments which sustained bay onet charges. All tho men serving one Russian gun, except one, wero killed by shrapnel. It seems that General Knrokl's force did r.ot fartlc Ipate In the engagement."
