RUSSIAN AG ,?? General Oyama Kuropatkin Liao BATTLE BREAKS V After Seven Days of the Hardes Has Been Forced to Quit Liai Bank of the River?Russiar a Part of Planned Actioniety?Losses on Both Awful?Japanese Bui Field and Ship Tokio, Japan.?The Russians were driven from the heights south of LiaoYang at dawn by the forces of General Oku and General Xodzu, which occupy the left and the centre, respec tiveiy, or xne Japanese iiue. The Russians were in full retreat, with the Japanese pursuing. General Kuroki's army, on the Japanese right, crossed the Tai-Tse River to attack General Kuropatkin's forces in the rear. The Jiji announces that the assault on Liao-Yang began simultaneously on all sides. The town was occupied after continuous and severe fighting since the previous morning. The whole Japanese army began pursuing the Russians. There is a universal belief that General Kuropatkin suffered an overwhelming defeat in giving tbe Japanese possession of Liao-Yang. The Government will not confirm this. It has issued nothing later than the report of the successful rush at dawn .whereby the Japanese left pierced tbe Russian line on the heights four miles south of Liao-Yang and west of Shoushan, compelling the enemy to withdraw from the right and centre positions with the victors in pursuit. It is known that tbe success to which several days' fighting led has boon gained at an enormous sacrifice of life, but tlio various guesses as to the number of casualties are wortnles*. Field Marshal Oyama. tho Japanese commander-in-chief, telegraphs that ho lost heavily in assaulting LiaoYang, but gives no figures. General Kuroki admits that his losses were 2223 between August 24 and August 28. The other commanders have made no report of their losses. An estimate of 25,000 casualties on both sides is not regarded as excessive. ST. PETERSBURG ANXIOUS. Sr. Petersburg. Russia.?General Sakharoff, in a dispatch to the Czar, reports that a portion of Kuroki's army, which has occupied the extreme right , of the Japanese line on the south bauk of the Tai-Tse River, crossed the river at Sakan Kankwantum, where there is a loop. A division of infantry, with cavalry and artillery, crossed lirst and covered tho advance of the rest of Kuroki's troops.

Hopefulness Las given place to anxiety. The General Staff announces that General Kuropatkin has abandoned Liao-Yang ami withdrawn his forces to the north bank of the Tal-Tse River, but it encourages confidence in his ability to hold the railway, for the defence of which elaborate fortifications of great strength were constructed. Nevertheless, these non-officials who hare an intelligent interest in the war, are gravely apprehensive that the Japanese are across the railway line and that Liao-Yang is surrounded. The briefness of General Sakharoffs mention of the crossing of the Tai-Tse Rirer is regarded as of unpleasant significance in view of the obvious importance of such a movement. The report that the Russians captured forty-six gnus from the Japanese in the previous fighting has not been confirmed officially. The Russian losses in the fighting during the day of retreat are now stated to have been 5000. It i? reported that General Linievitch, the commander of the Vladivostok district, is now within two days march of Mukden with 30,000 men. In the last four hours of the day the Japanese fired an immense number of projectiles, and the Russian positions were searched by the Japanese shrapnel. The Russians maintained a stubborn defence the whole day. They were exposed to a hail of shrapnel, but defended the positions intrusted to them with desperate bravery. After preparing for the assault wKh artillery the Japanese repeatedly attacked the Russian positions. Some of the advanced fortifications passed Into the Japanese hands after a stubJudge Gray to Arbitrate. Judge George Gray, of Wilmington.

N I1' The news of the evacuation of LiaoYang and the withdrawal of the Rus- i sian army to the right bank of the Tai- 1 I" Tse River reached only a small section i of the people of St. Petersburg at a "j late hour and caused intense excite- s* ment and disappointment. 'r The majority of the inhabitants rctired to rest, believing that Russian P' arms had again been successful, and ^ that the Japanese tittacks had been ^ repelled. Ugly suspicions, liowevtr, had been rife during the day. owing to the ab- P1 sence of press telegrams from Liao- *1 Yang, leading to the belief that the communications had been cut by Gen- " eral Kuroki. The following statement was ob- j ,M tained bj The Associated Press from i n the War Ohiee at 10 o'clock at night, j "General Kuroki's army crossed in i force to the right bank of the Tai-Tse ; River, and it therefore became neces- !(,( sary for the Russians to be in a posi- ! ^ tion to repel a blow in this direction, j ct ' In view of this development in the operations. General Kuropatkin dec id- j ed to abandon his positions on the left bank and to concentrate his whole ! army 011 the other side of the river. \ SI This position is the strongest, both iu \ character and site. "By withdrawing to this position the I Russian army avoids the danger of | ^ being divided by the river, and enjoys ! the advantage of compactness. j G "General Kuropatkin's move, there- ! fore, is not to be considered as a re- ; treat, but rather as the carrying out !

Hi lu. ;i nvii-ut-uui'iL mt'il. j v* The determined pursuit by the Jap- 1 anese of the Russian outposts when ( General Ivtiropatkin gave the first or- I der to withdraw* was probably due to 1 ti( their anxiety to keep the Russians ! "( south of Liao-Yang until General Ku- j ^ roki should be able to strike from the j ? northeast. General Kuropatkin, how- i } ever, saw the trap and cleverly avoid- | 1,1 ed it. A correspondent of The Associated i Press at Vladivostok telegraphed that the Japanese are relying on the aid of D a gunboat flotilla for future operations against Liao-Yang and Mukden. The gunboats, the correspondent says, have not yet materialized, but in any case , they would be in no position to vender j aid to a force on the risht bank in ! P' time of need because they would be unable to run the gauntlet of the forts ! at Liao-Yang. The strongest forts are I situated on the right bank, where the p' Russian army is now concentrated. C1 BATLE HAS BEATEN RECORDS. Ct The fighting at Liao-Yang has beaten V( all records for the desperate valor of I jj the assailants and the stubbornness of | the defenders. The whole history of i jj( warfare tells of no such bombard- | ments, no such carnage, and no sue* j ?( persistency. Day after day the fight ' c] has been resumed at daybreak and kept up with scarce a moment's inter- mission until after nightfall. War-scarred veterans scarcely believe ! ? the stories which come from the seat ! of war, and declare that it is beyond human endurance for an nrmv fn i without respite for a whole week, each i C1 day of which. has exceeded its prede- i ^ cessor in the intensity of struggle and : 13 greatness of slaughter. Day after day i j, the thousands of dead bestrewing the j S] battle field have to be removed. The Japanese have invented new methods 1 to incinerate the heaps of dead, com- i S! rades taking charge of the ashes for I g] the honors of burial in Japan. The j ^ wounded present a most serious prob- 1 ji lem, as they tax the transport capacity 1 j( on either side to the uttermost. Prince Urges Annexation.
