AFTER TERRIFIC BATTLE JAPANESE ARE REPORTED TO
HAVE CUT KUROPATKIN'S LINE OF RETREAT TO MUK0EN
Terrific Artillery Duel Opens at Dawn and Rages for
Nearly Six Hours Neither Side Seems to Have
Gained Any Advantage
General Frontal Attack Is Reported to Have Followed Cessation of Can
, nonading Kurokf Seizes Position Near Schilikio Between Liao Yang
and Mukden Losses on Both Sides Are Very Heavy
(.Journal Special Berries.)
London, Auk. 30. (Bulletin) After
an artillery battle of nearly six hours,
commencing at dawn this morning; and
lasting until 10 o'clock In the forenoon,
the Japanese are reported to have com
menced a general frontal attack on the
, Russian forces at Llao Tang which at
last reports had attained the apparent
result of cutting off the only road left
open by which Kuropatkln's forces could
retreat to Mukden.
Tip to 10:30 o'clock by their time, dis
patches were received here from Liao
Yang telling of the great battle being
persistently and gallantly fought be
tween the two great armies. Since that
time communication from Liao Yang
seems either cut off or at best Intermit
tent and fragmentary, showing the stress
of the Russian army.
(Journal Special Herrlce.)
Llao Yang, Aug. 30. 13:30 o'clock
Like the voice of some dread monster
fraught with portent, the boom of a
huge cannon shattered the silence of the
barely aroused camps at 4:30 o'clock this
morning and, as If In answer to the
ominous call. In but a few seconds the
air was riven with the noise of bellow
ing guns around Llao Yang.
A battle on which may hinge not
dreams of empire but Its actual posses
sion has opened with nearly maniacal
fervor. From the southeast came the
solitary signal to battle, presumably
from Oku's batteries.
. In a sweeping seml-clrcle. like- the
Ignition of a huge powder tram, came
the detonations from Kurokl's guns
stretching away to the westward, to be
answered shot for shot by the Russian
gunners In this artillery fight which
preceded the terrible rushes, sorties, re
pslses, waverings and breakings of two
equally determined and equally brave
armies.
Last night found the men of the Rus
sian army worn with fatigue, but con
fident as ever In the belief that the
agile waves of Japanese sweeping upon
them would find themselves shattered
against a huge Immovable rock when the
final Issue came.
The attack had been expected and In ft
measure anticipated when this morn
ing's cannonade began. The artillery
men had been astir for some time.
Tha Japanese had apparently brought
their field pieces somewhat closer in the
night, for. fh the southeast, where the
heaviest fire of the seml-clrcle was felt
and was most effective, shrapnel from
the Japanese guns searched the Russian
front. In time as the duel continued
shrapnel became the ammunition for
both sides and the entire Russlsn front
was Involved in this deadly form of
warfare.
Casualties Are Small.
The preparations of the night by the
Russians had been such that the cas
ualties on their side were surprisingly
small, considering the nature of the
Japanese artillery fire.
A new form of artillery work was
exhibited by the Japanese In this morn
ing's attack. Thelr( forces would mass
all their guns for a few moments In a
compact front, belching out with great
rapidity a hall of missiles, snd then at
a given signal move them to another
point, where they would re-form with
a splendid mathematical precision, pro
voking the admiration of the Russian
gunners, who could offset this rapid
movement only by converging their firo.
A
WITH STRANGE PAIR
(Journal Special Bervloe.)
Norwich, Conn Aug. 80 With snow
white hair and bending under the weight
of four score years, Oersohn B. Marx Is
In prison here, charged with one diabol
ical murder and the police believe him
guilty of an appalling series of bloody
deeds. His pretty young wife Is In
prison also charged with being his ac
complice. It Is alleged that at their little farm
near Colchester they repeatedly prac
ticed murder, killing their victims ae
they slept, dismembering their bodies
and placing the pieces In sacks and
burying them on the farm. The body
of Joseph Pavoll, who worked as a farm
hand for Marx, was found cut In pieces
and In a big bag In the cellar of the
Marx farmhouse.
Two other hired men employed by
Marx disappeared months ago and later
their dismembered bodies were found In
the woods. The mystery was never
solved. It la believed that these and
others were victims of the aged fanner.
The motive for the crimes Is unknown.
One theory Is that Marx I insane on the
subject and kills fflrthe sheer love of
killing. Another view Is that he killed
the men for their small savings which
he added to his hoard.
PXTTT DIOWHID.
(Jonrnal Special Merrier.)
Berlin, Aug. 4. Tageblatt reports
that an over-loaded ferry boat rm the
Vistula liver sank near Uatkeawe, Po
land, today. Fifty persons were drowned.
The play of gunnery was brilliant,
rapid and fairly effective. The mikado's
forces must have suffered severely, as
they had less protection than did the
Russians.
At 10 o'clock, as though satisfied that
the artillery fire had been as effective
as possible and that nothing further
could be gained by such a duel, the Jap
anese batteries slackened their Are. the
guns withdrew from the extreme front
and only the heavier guns In the rear
kept up an Intermittent fire.
Prepare General Advance.
At this hour It la believed that an
advance along the whole line against
the Russian front will be made by the
Japanese tomorrow. It is possible that
with the surprising fervor which snl
mates the rank and file, the willingness
to undergo fatigue and anxiety to bring
the battle to a climax, the banners of
the mikado may come surging forward
today.
Certain It Is that by tomorrow the
Japanese will be In formation to de
liver a frontal attack, as they are now
disposing men In positions which would
be most effective. On the Russian slds
there Is no wavering and the men are
holding their own gallantly and with a
ateadfastneas that Is highly commend
able. The Russians are now changing for
mation, evidently with the Idea that the
Japanese will begin this attack, when It
is called, either today or tomorrow, on
i those points where the lire has been
the heaviest. This necessitate me
shifting of numerous batteries that suf
fered the greatest disablement in this
morning's fighting.
Gene tali Ivanoff and Zaroubleff con
tinue to hold the east and west ends of
the Russian seml-clrcls, while General
Herschellman Is at the center.
It' Is believed that General Kurokl is
leading the attack on the eastern point
and that General Oku's then are now at
the center of the Japaneso formation.
Kurokl's intention la undoubtedly to en
deavor a flanking movement on the- Rus
slsn left, thus cutting off their com
munication between Mere and Mukden.
Bo far endeavors on this plan have
been futile. Herschellman has an ex
cellent fighting command and may be
depended upon to resist to the abso
lute point of death, or overwhelming.
Japanese Vail Back.
It Is reported here that the Russians
to the west have driven the enemy back.
The position presumably referred to Is
about five miles west of the main camp
and Is at a point where darkness stopped
the fighting last night. At this point
the Cossacks are said to have charged
the Japanese fiercely when the fighting
began this morning doubling the Jap
anese back toward the main army, after
which they returned to their original
positions.

New York. Aug. 80. Chased Into the

Alexander Dickson, 12 years old, waa

other were the opposing batteries that
shrapnel waa uaed with deadly effect.
Jt withdrawal of Che Japanese batteries
was announced at 10 o'clock and tha
presumption, according to the corre
spondent at the front waa, at that hour,
that the attack along the Russian front
would probably not be made until later
In the day or possibly would be deferred
until tomorrow.
Shortly after 10 o'clock, however, re
ports began to be received here through
different correspondents Indicating that
a general advance had been made.
A dispatch received through the Ber
lin Tageblatt correspondent at Llao
Yang aays: "A decisive beetle began
at dawn this morning, the Japanese at
tacking in semicircular formation and
using artillery only. Neither aide scoured
any visible advantage after six hours
of colossal slaughter."
A dispatch from St. Petersburg says:
"A telegram baa been received here
from General Sakharoff, timed at 10:30
o'clock this morning, which states that
at .that time the Japanese are making a
general advance along the entire Rus
sian front. The main attack at that
time was being directed against the
Russian right wing, where the losses
In this morning's artillery fight had
been the heaviest. The fighting, accord
ing to this report, hue been the severest
In all the war, and the Russian have
suffered heavy losses."
The dispatch concludes: "Colonel Po
katlle is among the officers slain, and
numerous others of his majesty's valiant
officers have been killed or wounded.
The attack IS continuing, the Japanese,
despite their terrible losses, charging
again and again. Our troops are gal
lantly holding their ground."
A dispatch waa received In St Peters
burg from Mukden to the effect that
two Japanese divisions were attempting
to turn Kuropatkln's flank and attain a
position between Llao Yang and that
point, thus cutting off from retreat and
communication the main Russian army.
Later other dispatches were received
In St. Petersburg, which practically ad
mit the success of the Japanese move
ment. The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the Exchange Telegraph states thai the
general staff, after hearing that General
Kurokl had cut the line of retreat to
Mukden, expressed the opinion that Llao
Yang would become a second Port Af
thur. as the fortifications at Llao Yang
are declared to be highly efficient and
provisions plentiful.
A private dispatch received from the
army at Llao Yang waa received In
St. Petersburg among the latest which
says the fighting there waa the most
stubborn and persistent of any that has
occurred since the opening of operations
at that point.
The Japanese hurled men forward with
an Impetuosity that savored of a charge
of fanatics.
"Barely would the smoke of our guns
drift, away after one of Use charges,"
says the dispatch, "before they would
be seen, shattered and perhaps leader
less, reforming for another attack over
slopes whose sides were literally
speckled with dead and dying.

BOARD VOTES TO
CONTINUE STRIKE
(Journal Cpertal Service.)
Chicago, Aug. 30. Despite the ulti
matum Issued by the packers yesterday
declaring the strike ended so far aa they
were concerned, and refusing to meet
the butchers' executive board, the strik
ers held a meeting early this morning
and resolved to continue the strike In
definitely. President Donnelly has Issued a state
ment to the public 1n which he declares
the conditions at the yards were Intol
erable, thst the packers refused to ad
just the differences, and the strike was
forced upon the workmen. He says that
the admission of the packers that they
now Intend to change the working con
ditions Is positive proof that the strik
ers' cause was just and that the end
sought by the packers Is the disruption
of the union, which Improved the moral
condition of the workmen.
Tke men "are still standing firmly for
the principle Involved and voted unani
mously to continue the strike until ac
corded an honorable adjustment.
According to the statement of the
packers this morning more than 1(0
union men sought re-employment at the
plants today.
The atrlke conference committee rep
resenting all of the unions Involved In
the strike this noon, ratified the action
of the executive board as to continuing
the strike. Strike leaders deny abso
lutely the reports emanating from the
packing house offices to the effect that
union men are seeking their old places.
