Corner Sixteenth and Douglas St treat loss on the Japanese, completely die mantling several batteries which attempted to bombard the main position (it Llandlan slan. The Russian losses altogether were l,4BO killed or wounded. A long official telegram has boon received at the War office, but It docs nut give a hint of whnt In transpiring today. It Is more tlian probable, however, that the Jap anese have rimumcil their attempt to roach Llao Yang. The silence on this point of the special dispatches lllej at Liao Yang this morning ruther confirm this view. The hottest fighting occurred In the v.'il ley of the Llan, a small tributary ofthe Taltse, around Tacgow, a place between Anplng and Llondlaiislun. Ueneral Kuro kl's first ulm apparently was to separate the two principal Russian positions, as fore casted In these dispatches August 2ti. The Russians In the- valley of thu I. Ian lost 1,41 men. General Kurokr"army ndvanoed . In three strong columns, one northward along the valley of Sindahlu, a tributary of the Tultse, as far us Lluodinta, whence a portion of these forces marched westward to Mlao pass, threatening Anshanshan, the .other portion pushing up the stream to Tunslnpu, four miles southwest of Llan dlunslan, where It waa stopped by General Konropatkln's Cossacks. The second column marched along the high road and occupied Krdahe, whence the Japanese batteries shelled Llandlanslan, a couple of miles northwest, until the tire of the Kusslan guns silenced them. Sev- ' . Japanese batterlej were completely tled and were abandoned by their jTS. jrtie fighting at Tsegow was of the most desperate description. The Japanese had the advuntuge of the mountainous country, advancing along a ridge extending from Tantslaputzy to Slnlnlndsy. The latter place Is situated on the high road, ten miles southeast of Lluo Yang. Possession of this point would render Llandlanslan and Anplng untenable. It Is nof Improb able that General Ktirokl will therefore repeat his attack In this direction. Tho Japanese, advance was characterized by the greatest stubbornness and arouses the belief Irt military circles that General Kurokl hns1 received considerable reinforce ments or (General Kouropntkln has sent the greaterportion of his nriny north, leaving only acouple of corps at Llao Yang. TkA n V. n . . . . .. T l iw awiciivc .ri in-v we ti .Japanese move ment along tho Tnltse river.

It Is pointed out that If tho rumor Is true It would sig nify the rapture of the fortress, which trould be unable to hold out against the s jperlor numbers of the besiegers If any portion of the permanent defenses Is lost. Towards the southeast the battls was especially severe. Bayonets were used and there the Russians lost 1.C00 men. A dispatch from General Kouropatkln to Emperor Nicholas, dated August 2tl, and referring to the fighting of August T5, says tho Japanese took the ofTenslvo only gainst the troops on the Russian left. The strength of the Japanese was estimated at two divisions of infantry with numerous guns. The Russian losses in killed or wounded were about 100. The dispatch con cludes: "At dawn August 2(1 the Japanese as sumed the offensive along the entire front Of our army. Kurokl Joins Oku, stAO YANG, Aug. 27. General Kurokl fias Joined forces with General Oku In an attempt to cut the Russian line between Anshanshan and Llandlanslan. The battle of August 25 raged along the eastern front. A strong Japanese force at tacked the Russian positions at Mlao puss eleven milea ea3t of Anshanshan, and ut Bnndiatzl and Tfegow, twelve miles south east. Nine batteries of six guns each bom barded the Rusriun outpoats. At thee points the combat repeatedly developed Into hand-to-hand fighting.. The Ru.slans itubbornly held the outpesta tho whole day, falling back on their main position at night. Tho chief artillery engagement was In front of Llandlanslan. the Japanese concentrating the fire of ten butteries and simultaneously advancing on Torlntspu, four miles south west of Llamllansian, but they were ar rested by Cossacks, who were afterward relnforcod by Infantry and artillery.

Special Sale of fall Corsets i The Japsnese resumed U e bombardment early August 28, devoting most of their at tention to Llandlanslan. The Russian field guns were very effective. They dismantled tblrty-two Japanese guns, mostly mountain pieces. The casualties have not been ascer tained. ' Toklo lias Little Sews. TOKJ.O, Aug. 27.-9 p. m It Is reported here that General Oku commenced the at tack upon the Russians at Anshanshan yesteiday at the same lime that General Kurokl commenced to attack them at Anplng. Anshanshan Is midway between Hal Cheng and Llao Yang, and Anplng Is thir teen miles southeast of Llao Yang. No tidings of a definite character from Port Arthur or Llao Yang have reached the public today. It Is understood that a lull followed the desperate fighting of the earlier half of the week nt Part Arthur. The lull was fo.- the purpose of allowing the tired men to rest, arranging certain things In the plan of attack and for completing prepara tions for pressing the attack home. The Japanese guns continue to shell the fortress, but the majority of the forces are not engaged. Port Arthur Is proving harder to reduce and capture than the gen eral public of Japan expected. The pub lic which has been confidently awaiting the fall of ths fortress dally for the last month, Is disappointed at the delay. Much regret Is expressed at the heavy losses, but the nation Is unwavering In Its grim determination to hammer and harrass Port Arthur until It falls, and Is prepared to pay the cost, however heavy It may be. ' Buttle Mar De Derisive. The belief Is growing here that a great and decisive battle will be fought at Llao Yang. General Kouroratkln, who had an opportunity to abandon Llao Yang and to remove the bulk of his stores and the ma jority of his army from that place, evi dently has chosen to remain and give bat tle. He has concentrated his forces and entrenched them carefully. The country is drying up speedily after the torrential rains, and so soon as It Is possible to re sume operations the Japanese may be counted upon to act vigorously and aggres sively wherever the conditions permit. Confidence is felt here by the Japanese that the commander-in-chief In the field, Marshal Oyama, with his splendid united armies, will outgeneral General Kouropat kln and force him to give battle on at least two of his fronts, nnd eventually suc ceed In defeating him decisively. Juns Tuke Another Fort. CHE FUO, Aug. 27. Noon The latest re ports received from Port Arthur are to the effect that the Japanese, In the attack during the night of August 22, captured Poyodo, a fort midway between Takushan und the eastern defenses and reduced an other fort immediately east of thu rail way. Poyodo mounted only two small guns when the Russians were in possession of it. The assault was preceded by heavy artillery fire from Takushan, where tho Japanese have big naval guns. The Rus sians ,lost considerably before they were compelled to retire. The fort was not occupied by the Japanese, as It is behind a moat, which the Japanese in no instance have been able to cross. Recent arrivals here who were In Port Arthur as lato as AuguBt 24 believe that the Russian resistance will prove success ful for some time yet. They explain that the Japanese are un able to occupy Etseshan fort. The Jap anese feinted constantly In attempting to do so, and In tho meanwhile, by tremend ous labor, raised the summit of a smaller hill behind It to the level of Etseshan hill by means of sandbags, and ther they mounted guns which assisted materially in the reduction of the fort east of the railway. This fort is the northernmost of the eastern defenses, and without its positions reduced or occupied renders the Japanese position In the vicinity of the railroad threatening to the Russian hopes. It '.s obvious that the Japanese expect to enter Port Arthur from the north. Confirmation has been obtained of the announcement made in these dispatches August 18 to the effect that the Japanese drove the Russians from their positions at Louisa bay nnd Pigeon bay, the Japanese vanguard, numbering W0 to 800 men, pene trating Into the fort situated on the highest hill of the Llaotl mountain, the southern most mountain of the Kwang-Tung penin sula, incidentally capturing an Incompleted battery on the west shore of the Llaotl promontory and then retired. The Japa nese fleet during the attack made a demon stration against the main Llaotl fort. It Is also confirmed that the Japanese silenced a small fort near Golden hill. The J.iranese line on the west Is ap proximately, according to the advices re ceived here, three nnd a hnlf miles from the European, or new town, where there has been no conflagration, although nu merous Individual fires have occurred. When the last arrivals left Port Arthur there was little firing. The strength of the garrison Is now estimated to be 1&.0O0 efficient men. On August 23 the Russians arrested four Japanese spks within the fortress and shot them. No Chinese, except outbound ser vants, are allowed In the European town, the Russians being afraid of spies. 6ince August 21 the Russian ships have not been firing shells. On August 22 a Japanese shell fell In the dockyard, causing some damage. Only the Chinese shops of Port Arthur j are doing business. The lack of vegetables is severely felt. Rnaslana to Send Xevr Arm. BERLIN, Aug. S7.-A dispatch to the Tageblatt from St. Petersburg says the Russian government if determined to as semble a second great inrmy in Manchur.a, consisting of thrje or four corps, under the command of General Raron Kaulbars or General Soukhomllnoff. Its headquarters will be at Mukden. The object of this step Is to meet the situation that will arise should Port Arthur fall, thus releasing the besieging army for operations northward. The Tageb'af. correspondent names the various commands out of which the new army will be formed and says he beileves that more rapid transportation of troops will be possible owing to approaching com pletion of the raiiioad around Lake Baikal. Ulana linn .o Instructions. SAIGON, French Indo-Chlna, Aug. 27. The Russian cruiser Dluna, which anlved hervAugust 20 with a shell hole below Its water line, received In the naval battle off Port Arthur August 10, has not received Instructions from the government at St. Petersburg to disarm or repair Its damages, which are slight. Another Japanese shell killed an officer of the Diana and three men and wounded twenty-three others. The cruiser tried to reach Shanghai, but encoun tered some Japanese torpe'do boats. The latter discharged nine torpedoes without effect at the Diana. The officers of the cruiser declare that General Ftoessel will never surrender Port Arthur. When the Diana left the harbor General 8toefscl had 40,000 men. Hn.ialnn Anxious to Fight. ML'KDEN, Aug (Undated.) The Associ ated Press correspondent here made the rounds of the Russian positions in front of Llao Yang Just before the Japanese began their advance. The Russians, the correspondent says, have a semi-circle of splendid positions from Anshanshan to Mukden. Fresh troops and guns are ar riving continuously and the Russian force is stronger than it has been at any pre vious time since the commencement of the war. Tho arrival of fresh European troop3 has increased the enthusiasm of the men who are tired of retreating. The road and the railway between Liao Yang and Muk den are crowded with transports of all sorts. It Is said that Chinese regular troops assisted the bandits In the fight which occurred north of Mukden August 23. It is rumrrod that Marqulj Oyama, commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces In Manchuria arrived at Halcheng August 23. JA PAItr SK.MIS 1SOTE TO T1IK POWERS Russian Warships at HlianKhat Must Be Disarmed Forthwith. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Japan has ad dressed a note to the powers Informing them that unless Russia forthwith dis arms Its warships In Shanghai, Japan will be forced to take whatever steps It deems necessary to protect Its Interests. Mr. Takahlra, the Japanese minister, called at the State department today and left with Mr. Adee, the acting secretary of state, the communication of the Toklo govern ment. To a correspondent of the Associated Press Mr. Takahlra said tonight: "While Japan sincerely hopes that the reported Intention of Russia to disarm tho Arkold and Grosevol at- Shanghai will promptly be executed, my government has felt that It was advisable to Inform the powers what must necessarily be its at titude in the event that the disarmament of the Russian ships Is delayed. The con ditions at Shanghai are peculiar because of the International Interests there and my government Is desirous of giving these Interests every consideration." In State department circles the opinion la expressed that the Russian ships will soon be. disarmed and both at the State and Navy departments Information has been, received that the Incident Is regarded In Shanghai as practically closed. It was suggested tonight that the effect of the Japanese note probably would be to strengthen the determination of the Chi nese officials to maintain the neutrality of the Peking government, not only at Shang hai, but at other points where an attempt .nay be made to violate it. WILL BROOK SO MEDIATION Caar Is Determined toFlwht Despite Possible Reverses and Losses. LONDON, Aug. 27. The Associated Press learns In connection with the revival of the rumors of mediation that Emperor Nicholas only recently announced in the most positive terms that he would permit peace negotiations should Port Arthur fall and General Kouropatkln be driven back to Harbin. This fact, well undersf-.o'. In official circles, ha prevented the British government from taking any steps in the direction of mediation. It Is known here that Germany understands this attitude as well as Great Britain and other powers. Therefore the reports from P-ls that Em peror William Is prepared to suggest peace Is dismissed as'groundless, for the present at least. If General Kouropatkln, how ever, should win a decisive victory at Liao Yank, which in a measure would rjstott Russian prestige, it is believed here tint the restoration of peace would undoubtedly be materially facilitated. Beyond the acknowledgement of the re ceipt of orders to search for the Russian volunteer fleet steamers Smolensk and St. Petersburg the admiralty here has not heard from Rear Admiral Durnford, in command of the Cape of Good Hopo sta tion. The admiralty denies the statement published here that Admiral Durnford has been ordered to shadow the Smolensk nnd St. Petersburg and see that they do not violate the Instructions of their govern ment. It Is pointed out that such an act would show suspicion of the good faith of Rusi-la, which Great Britain does not care to doubt after the delivery of the orders the British cruisers which are searching for the volunteer fleet stfamera, will re turn to port and cable to London the fact that they have executed their commission.
