Tokio, Aug. 3.â€".It is reported here that after three , days Of desperate lighting the J apaneso have captured Shantaikow, one of the important. defences of Port. Arthur. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.â€"â€"Genoral Kuropatkin reports that the Japan- ese have occupied Ikhavuen (east or Liaoyang) and the Yang‘se Pass (30 miles east of Liaoyang). Tokio, Aug. 3.â€"Al‘ter two days’ fighting General Kuroki has defeated the. Russian forces in two separate actions fought at Yushulikzu-nnd the Yangsc Pass. The Yangse Pass, or Yang Se Pass, is situated 30 miles east. of Liaoyang. The Russian army. engaged there is generally known as the eastern army, and was command- ed by the late Lieut.-Gen. ,Count. Kel- ler, who was killed by the explosion of a shell. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3,â€"It is ofii- cially announced that the Russians have fallen back from Yangse Pass, but are holding their positions on the Snimatsza road, and at Hdicheng Monday. Liaoyang, Aug. 3.-â€"â€"Alter a fierce battle the eastern Russian force has evacuated Ygantseuling (six miles west. of Motion Pass). OUTFLANKED BY NODZU. Newchwang, Aug. 2,â€"Gen. Fuku- shima. arrived here this mOrning, havâ€" ing marched up from Port Dalny. The Japanese here are confident that the xeported capture of Haicheng by their troops is true. They say the Russians there probably were outflanked by Gen. Nodzu. OKU OAP’I‘URES HAICHENG. Newchwang, Aug. 2.â€"Rumors are current in Chinese quarters that Gen- eral Oku captured Haicheng yester- day afternoon. They cannot, however, be verified. l HEARING HAICHENG. Halcheng, Aug. 2.â€"The battle raged the whole day July 31 along the south- ern and eastern fronts. The Japanese advanced with overwhelming forces. flanking the Russians on their right. The losses of the Russians, however, were slight. The Seventeenth Siberian Regiment drove the Japanese out of one position. KUROII ILMXERS TE] ENEMY. Tokio, Aug. 2.â€"Gen. Kuroki has ad- ministered a. severe defeat to the Rus- sian forces which defended the Russian cast flank at Liaoyang, winning sepa- rate actions at Yuskulikzu and Yangsc Pass. These two places are 26 miles apart, but the two actions were fought at: the same time. The Russians held strong, positions. The thermometer registered over 110 degrees Fahrenheit. and the soldiers suffered cruelly from. heat exhaustion. At Yuskulikzu the Russians had two divisions of infantry and some artil- lery, and they resisted the Japanese :18- saults vigorously. Both attacks were begun at dawn Sunday, July 31. At Yuskulikzu the Japanese carried the Russian right and left wings, but on account of the strength of the main Russian position they were unable to press the attack. The two armies rested Sunday night, facing each other. At dawn on Monday the Ja- panese resumed the attack, and by noon they had dislodged the enemy and had driven him four miles to Lao- hollng. At x'angse Pass also the Japan-‘se were successful. The artillery opened on the enemy and the infantry moved forward from Makumez. The attack on this place was made at 1 o’clock on Sunday, and by nightfall the Japan- ese. were in possession of a. majority of the Russian positions, altho the em:- my had resisted with determination. The Japanese force passed the night in battle lormation and another as- sault was made on Monday at, dawn. By 8 o'clock Monday morning Yangse been captured. Gen. liurokl explains the slowness of these actions by saying that the dith- cult topography or the 1.2:..tieiielti made it impossrble to secure 2:001 artillery positions, and the great heat fatigued his troops. The Russian force at Yangse Pass was estimated at two and one-half di- visions and four batteries of artillery. FENELON FALLS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 5TH, 1904.. ’ N0. 2,, J’lruE‘HNTAIK w“ :u.

The same day, when the Japanese occupied the pass between Yanshukan and Hourâ€" siatsee (25 miles‘ from Liaoyang), five officers and 40 men were wounded. Gen. Sakharoi‘f alsosays: “The eneâ€" my is acting undecidedly on Your south , front.” ‘ WEAT H‘APPEXED AUGUST 2. St.’ Petersburg, Aug. 3.-â€"The Japan- ' ese and Russian reports seem to agree ’ on the main points of the military dcâ€" velopments up to Aug. 1, but both stop -. short at the interesting point, namely. regarding what happened on Aug. 2. when it is possible that a decisive struggle was going on east and south of Liaoyang. It is evident that the Russians aban- ’ dcned Yangse Pass, falling back on Liandiansian, a strong defensive poli- tion in the hills 24 miles southeast of Liaoyang. Gen. Kuropatkin admits that there were heavy losses along the Sai- matszaâ€"Liaoyang road, July 81. 'lhe official account indicates that altho t, e RLs‘sians withdrew their advanced posts, Kuropatkin hoped to be able to hold his main positions even in the face of the superior Japanese force, and that he evidently expected heavy flg‘ht- ing along this line, probably about Anplng. This battle possibly was pro- ceedlng Aug. 2. Meanwhile a serious‘ enveloping movement of three Japanese dlvisious was maturing around the Russian left: at Haicheng, where there already was heavy fighting on July 31. WHY THEY "WERE SUNK. St. Peter-shuts, Aug. 2.-â€"-In a lengthy telegram to the emperor Vice-Admiral Skrydloff relates the doings of the Vladivostock squadron under Rear-Aal- mlral Jessen. With the cruisers Rossin, Gromboi‘ and Rurik, Admiral Jessen left Vlad- ivostock July 20. After sinking a small Japanese vessel the cruisers held up the British steamer Camara, but let her go. A Japanase coasting steamer was ’ next met, but "as most of her 60 pasâ€" sengers. were women, We determined to "release her.” Two Japanese schooners were sunk. Then Admiral Jessen tenant in quick succession with the British steamers Arabia. and Knight Commander. "The , Knight Commander only stopped after the fourth shot,’ the admiral reports. Her cargo being railroad material, “un~ doubtedly contraband for the belligerâ€" ent; party, and not being able to bring her to the nearest Russian port, owing: to her not having enough coal. without manifest danger to the squadron, we ' sank the Knight Commander, after taking off all her crew and removing her papers." Two more Japanese schooners laden with salt were then sunk. n. Pm'rmnsnnno GLOOMY. St. Petersburg, Aug. 2.â€"â€"The feeling at the war office here was distinctly gloomy this morning. No official teleâ€" grams had been received by the Sen- eral stuff from Gen. Kuropatkln, who was communicating direct with the emperor, but from private sources at. the front it already was apparent that Simoucheng (fifteen miles south southâ€" east of Haichens, at the junction of the Fengwangcheng Siuyan roads). had been lost, Gen. stakelberg's outâ€" posts having fallen back to Haicheng.
