The battle raged in the hills all through the night, and fragmentary telegrams from the Japanese headquarters report that the engagement is still in progress, and that the Japanese are still pursuing the Russians south from Nanshan and the head of Talienwan bay. The Russians had made elaborate preparations to check the Japanese movement south on the Liao Tung peninsula, toward Port Ar thur. They had fortified the high ground on the shore of Talienwan bay, their works extending to the east and the west. The extreme Russian right was at Hushangtao, and the extreme left at Nanshan Hill. The hill was the strongest part of the line; a series of batteries, strongly emplaced, crowded its crest, while rifle pits extended around its sides. Mines had been placed lower down on this hill, and around the base on the northern and eastern sides weTe stretched wellmade wire entanglements. Another line of defenses, also protecter with wire entanglements, extended from Yen Chia Tung, near the head of Talienwan bay, due north of Liuchia Tien, which lies south of Kin Chou. A strong Russian force was posted at Kin Chou. It consisted of infantry and artillery. The Japanese first occupied the line of hills to the east of Kin Chou. Their position formed an almost perfect right angle, showing its southern front to Talien Wan, and its western front to Kin Chou. Chiu Li Chan village was the apex of this angle; the extreme right of the Japanese line rested at Chen Cha Tien, which is almost due north of Chiu Li Chan, while the extreme left was ati Chaitsuho, a vil- J lage due east of Chiu Li Cban. Back of this angle the attacking force as- | sembled in complete security. The Russians apparently attempted ; to draw Japanese attack last Saturday j for their batteries opened fire slowly on the enemy on that day. The Japanese, however, refused to be drawn into an attack until the positions of the Russians, their guns and their strength had been fully developed. To this end the Japanese began a series of careful manoeuvres, their officers working their way close enough to the Russian position to draw the enemy's fire. They thus secured fragments of shells for the purpose of ascertaining the calibre of the Russian guns. They discovered that the bat-. teries on Nansban hill included four ' howitzers of about fifteen centimes j calibre, ten old-style cannon of be- j tween nine and fifteen centimes ca!- j ibre, and two quick-firing guns of twelve centimes calibre. The Japan- j ese also discovered a number of large ; emplacements, but they did not learn ; the number of guns contained therein, j These emplacements faced to the I north and east. Cost Many Lives.
