Delegates were present from the var- fous chapters of each of the thirteen original States of the Union. Rev. Willlam H.

Forced to Retreat. | TOKIO, May 2, 7 a. m.—After | five days of fighting, largely with =artillery, the first Japanese army, under General Kuroki, has forced a crossing of the Yalu River, and on Sunday, with a gallant infantry charge, covering a frontage of four miles, it drove the Russians from Chiutiencheng and the heights on the right bank of the Tho or Aiga River, which enters the Yalu from the north, almost opposite Wiju. The Japanese turned the left flank of the Rus- sian position, and in the battle of yesterday they swept away the new front interposed by the Rus- sians to check their onward move- ment, The present position of the Jap- anese is a dominating one, and they may force the abandonment of the defenses erected by.the Rus- sians at Antung and other points lower down the river. KUROKI'S ADVANCE. General Kuroki began the move- ment on Tuesday by ordering a detachment of the Imperial Guards’ division to seize the island of Kurito, which is in the Yalu, above Wiju, and a detachment of the Second Division to seize the island of Kinteito, which is_sit- uated below Wiju. The detach- ment of the Imperial Guards met with some resistance in its opera- tions, but it succeeded in driving out the enemy and occupied Kur- ito Island. The Russians aban- doned the island of Kinteito when 4 Is — '|Victors Take -Many Pris- oners. 3 - | purpose of discovering the char- | acter of the Russian fortifications along the heights on the right bank of the river.

The detachment of the Second Division, which took the island of Kinteito, sustained no losses. & . RUSSIANS -OPEN FIRE. During these movements on the islands the Russians opened fire on the Japanese with eight nine-and- one-half. centimeter guns from a hill behind Chiutiencheng and two | Hotchkiss guns, which were mounted on the bank of the river at Kosan, where the Russians seem to have established their headquarters.
