The advance against the right began with desultory at tacks by small Russian forces, which were immediately repulsed.: Several attacks upon our right were also turned into Japanese victories. iTokto, Jan. SO. The Russian ad vance movement upon the Japan ese left and center .has ended disas trously for the enemy, and the Jap anese forces have driven back the at tacts and conquered all along the lue.- :la many places the fighting, which haS raged furiously for three days, has ceased, and in the vicini ty of Sandepu our soldiers are now engaged In : dislodging the enemy from the .village which ; they cap tured Friday..' ; k Pield Marshal Oyama has eent several dispatches to the imperial military headquarters. The last one deciphered bunday evening, states that the enemy is in full re treat and has abandoned his at? tempt to turn our left . flank. ' The first advance of the enemy's lines tqwards ' Liutiachkan Friday was v met . with a counter-advance upon the village itself, which we occupied.' . During the night of Friday the enemy made' two at tacks upon the position. Japanese reinforcements had . been brought forward and both of the Russian assaults were repulsed with heavy losses.. The fighting was continu ed in a desultory manner at various places throughout Saturday until late in the evening, when the Kus sians executed a counter-attack up on Meikantai, which bad been oc cupied hy our forces during the day." v-. - X;:'::: : ' The attack by the Russians was one of the most determined ever at tempted by them.'-It was repulsed, andT" The Japanese detachments Portland, Jan, 28. An incarna tion of bideousnesB that has . been ' aptly named "devilfish," was dis- i played this morning in front of a -fish market at Ffth and . Burnside streets. This monster weighs more ' than 100 pounds, and its tentacles measure about 15 feet from tip to tip. The sinuous, slimy folds in -tlie centei of the radiating tenta- . cles, which pass lot a body, will : cover an area of about two feet. : The great tentacles, which are lined with double rows of suckers, , are larger than. a man's arms at the bl eeps, - and, doubtless bads, great . strength. - Mr. Guistin, who is familiar with the habits and records of the octo- pus, says that this specimen is un doubtedly the largest ever captured in the Pacific Northwest. It was taken near Everett, Wash., by four fishermen, who had a fierce strug- : gle before they killed it. It be came .entangled in their seine, and 1 when brought to the surface, began to use its tentaolee, and etriving hard to draw the men from their . boat. By all of them working , to gether, and because the. monster was befouled by the seine." it was- finally landed in the boat - and dis patched. " The conflict was sicken ing to all fonr, as the vile odors and clammy, filthy touch of the devil fish were almost intolerable? " Mr. Guistin has sold the thing to a California man, who is going . to have it preservedand exhibit it in museums. 'v :- ')' .

Besides' this, many minor strongholds were es tablished and well fortified in the neighborhood.""...:. Our ' victories at?, these - points checked the entire right flank of the enemy; part of whiclr had cross ed the Hun river and had driven small parties of Japanese occupy ing the forts toward the southwest on . Thursday and Friday, ine Japanese victories at Heikantai and at Liuliaokan implied the retaking of those positions, and before our advance the Russians retreated across the Hun river to its right bank, and Field Marshal Oyama immediately ordered several large detachments to the pursuit. Another unsuccessful attack made by tbe enemy occurred on Saturday night at Chenchiepao and Iitaj en ton. The battle which was fought along a considerable distance in the direction of Chenchiepao, raged for several hours. The large forces were engaged, and the casualties on both sides were great. The fight ing lasted foe several hours, but early Sunday morning the Russians were repulsed all - along the line, leaving many killed and wounded on the battlefield. . The rout of the Russians was so complete that about oUU omcers and men were made prisoners, . Tbe fighting in the vicinitv of Sindepu ended Fridav nigbt with the capture of the village by- the Russians, and was resumed Satur day.. vThe Russians threw a strong force against the redoubt located northeast 01 the Tillage, but were ropulsed with terrible I08S. They repeated the attack, with the same result, and then desisted, sending some of their, attacking force to wards Somopu, where a concentrat ed force of Japanese was attacked by several columns of Russians, The battle at this point raged throughout Saturday, and on the evening of that day it came to t close with a crushing Russian de feat. - - The Russian movement, which began with an -advance to the left bank of the Hun river, and has now ended with the enemy's retreat to the right bank, was in augurat ed by desultory artilleiy. firing Wednesday, which waB soon fol lowed by minor attacks, which on Friday and Saturday merged into a general battle all along our left.
