Sept. 1 With splendid courage and dash the Japanese closed the terrific bsttle at yesterday in front of sn equally courageous and determined foe. The Japanese forced the passage of the Taltse river to the east and north of Llao Yang. Sorely pressed as were the Russian troops, there were no signs of disorder, no shrns of weakening and no slacken ing of confidence, t'nllke the preceding days' fighting the battle did not come to sn end as night came on. but con tinued until midnight, each side Inflict ing terrible slaughter on the other and. stubbornly charging again and again. Here snd there a momentary advantage. would be gained by one side or the other to be offset a fw minutes later by a desperste rally and a retreat. Th Japaneae won a victory, as they succeeded In getting a column across the Tattse river. northeast of here, whereupon Kuropatkln gave the order to his men to fall back toward ths main army. The pressure of the Japanese, however, made this Impracticable, as any attempt to withdraw while the fighting was so fiercely continued would have resulted In a rout Arnica tmerly wora Oat. The soldiers, therefore, steadily fsced their enemy again and the fighting con tinued until nearly midnight, by which time both armies were apparently at the last stages of eihauatlon. Without awaiting orders from the officers the battle ceased, the men of both armies throwing themselves upon the ground and going to sleep. In many Instances the men were so tired, according to re ports received here, thatio bivouac fires were started, Ths casualty list la enor mous. At I o'clock this morning the battle had not been resumed and no sound of firing oould be heard here, or at the farthest points toward the front where civilians are permitted to go. It la reported her that General Btackelberg was seriously wounded In the fighting but after having had his wounds temporarily dreased returned to the fighting line and when laat heard from was still at the extreme front. General Krosvsky. who was also on the fighting line, suffered severe wounds but was unable to remain with the army BRAVE WOMAN PUTS BURGLAR TO FLIGHT With heavy silver And ebony hair brash. Mrs, H.

In view of the other situ ations along th Russian right center, ft seems probable that the latter course will be the one pursued as It Is not be lieved that troops cat) be withdrawn from oUr pfsvitlons to. meet Kurokl's advance. Such Is the situation this morning and the review of yesterday's events as fat as the attempt to cut communication be tween here and Mukden 1 1. concerned. Kurokl has 17 miles yet to traverse be fore he will be near th railway and line of dommunlcatlon with fits outposts. Bitter as was th struggle to ths northeast, where the heaviest fighting took place, the situation was always a qui vex along nearly the enCira Russian front, msaiag tW aigfcft.

They did not urge and press the movement at th extreme point where they evidently feared the Irresis tible charges of the Cossacks, who yes terday again and again shattered the Japanese advances. Finally abandoning attempts to resist the caar's horsemen they confined their efforts to a direct attack on the center.

Throughout the night everything was quiet and, with the exception of a few minor Incidents of no . consetfueaca; thsre was nothing to cause apprehen sion. Wltb the opening of business hours this morning, however, more than 800 pollc were distributed about th yards In anticipation of trouble, which it la considered by many will .be th inevltabl end. ' ' What causes the meet apprehension on the part of the police Is the fact that the livestock handlers compose a force numbering about 1,000 men. They are mostly brawny, reckleas young men, who will not be balked In any un dertaking that may appear to them to be on the side of right,, and In the In terest of the cause for which they gave up their plares at the yards.
