It is possible that the fortune of the.day hinged upon these mines. If the Russians had been able to ex- plode them at the right time the losses among the Japanese troops would have been tremendous, and it is possible also that .the Russians would have been able to hold the hill. Nanshan Splendidly Dofended. Nanshan was splendidly defended. Nearly fifty guns of‘various sizes Were mounted on the various emâ€" placements and there were also num- bers of two batteries of quick-firing pieces. This artillery was sheltered behind loopholes trenched on the terâ€" races of the hill. The infantry man- ning the field pieces ran with them around the hill, thus using these guns for the protection of most imâ€" portant points. The Japanese began the fight by bringing all their field guns into action and concentrating their fire on the cmplaccmcnts on the hill. By 11 o’clock in the morning the principal Russian batteries had been silenced. The two Russian field batteries then withdrew to Nanquan- ling Hill, and from there continued the fire on the Japanese until night- fall. Bushing the Line. After the Russian batteries had been silenced the Japanese artillery opened on the enemy’s trenches, the Japanese infantry advancing mean- while to within rifle range. The Ja- panese gradually worked to within 400 metres of the Russian lines, where they encountered wire and oth- er entanglements. They succeeded in discovering an opening in these obâ€" stacles, and getting finallyto within 200 metres of the Russian trenches they rushed for the line. Swept Up the Bill. Several successiVe charges were made, but every officer and man in the attacking parties was shot dowu, 20 or 30 metres from the line. The charges were then stopped and the Japanese artillery renewed its pro- paratory fire on the enemy’s posi- tion. Towards evening a detachment of Japanese carried a. section of the Russian trenches, breaking through the enemy’s line. Hundreds of comâ€" rades ofthese men, inspired by their success, sprang forward and then the entire Japanese line swept up the hill, driving the Russians from their positions. It was in the desperate in- fantry charges that the Japanese sustained the bulk of their losses. Russians Lost '78 Guns. Washington, May 30.â€"-The follow- ing cablegram has been received at the Japanese legation: “Tokio, May 29.â€"Gen. Oku, com- manding the army attacking Kinâ€" chou, reports that, in the attack on Nanshan Hill, the fourth division formed the right wing, the third division the left wing, and the first division the centre. The enemy conâ€" sisted of one division of the field army and two batteries of field arâ€" tillery, besides fortress, artillery and advantage of the enemy’s left wing, which was weakened by the bom- marincs. The third division, taking. bardmont from our fleet at Kinchou Johannesburg. mass meeting address-r ed by Mr. Wyatt enthusiastically enw dorsed the principle of colonial co- operation in the support. of the navy. Lord Milner said the colonies- were vitally interested in the welfare of the navy and , all ought to contribute to ‘1 its maintenance and expense. The navy should be more than English, and should be as much Canadian, Alf}. rican and Australian. Colonial con‘_-' ' tributions towards the maintenance of the navy Wore steps in the diréc~ tion of Imperial Federation. 'IvIe did not care whether the Federal Council of the Empire, sat. at 1 Qt.â€" tawa, Sydney or South Alrica,l,pjro~_ vided in the future the British.peo- plc held together. Should Have Representation. ' Sir George Farrar claimed that the Transvaal in return for its naval .contribution should have representaâ€" tion on the Defence Committee. The Standard declares that Lord Milner’s speech was at. the psycholoâ€" gical moment. Following on the startling report of the Royal Com-â€" mission that something must be done towards giving all the inhabitants of the King’s dominions a full underâ€" standing of the problem, .it says that Canada has not yet mastered the; proposition, but it has been- comprehended by Australia, the Cape, Natal and Newfoundland. ____..._â€"â€"â€"â€"- FOUGHT ELEVEN HOURS. British Then Expelled tho Thibotons From Village of Palla. London, May 30.â€"-The Daily Mail’s correspondent at Chumbi, India, says the British expedition, on May; 26, after a fight of 11 hours, expell» ed the Thibetans from the village of Palla, close to the British camp at. Gyangtse. A British lieutenant and three Scpoys were killed and ‘three oflicors and nine men were wounded. The Thibetans suffered heavily and thirty-seven of them were taken pri- soners. Palla is a Walled strongâ€" hold, from which the Thibetans started building Works with a view of outfianking the British position. Thlbotan Investment Raised. Gyangtse, Thibet, May 30.â€"The ’l‘hibctans have abandoned their in-- vestment of the British rear and communication with the mission has been restored. W ’ Threatened His Family. Corinth, May 80,â€"Albert Pound, who has been living with his wife and two small children, on a farm about three miles west of the vilâ€" lage, was arrested Saturday for threatening. to murder his family, and committed for further trial and export examination 'at St. Thomas. Evidence given goes to show that he has had spells 01' insanity, and in one of these fits, having had trouble with some boys, he came in the house and commenced sharpening a. razor, telling his wife the whole family would be dead in half an hour . ___._.___..__â€"â€"â€"â€" Dii’flculties of 3 Census.
