The num- ber of Russian guns captured exceeds seventy. TOKIO, Ma) he Japanese as- sault on Nanshan Hill was one of the t and bloc affa in modern fare. In the earlier rushes of the engagement evely man participating shot down before he reached the first line of Russian trenches. It was found necessary to cease these infantr: charges wew the artillery fire from the the final and suc- cessful assault on position could be made. The of this assault was brought about by one de- tachment of Japanese troops, more in- trepid than their comrades, who suc- ceeded in plercing the Russlan line. A splendid stroke of fortune was the discovery and the destruction by the Japane of the :tric wires leading to’ the mines at th tern foot of Nan- shan Hille This prevented the Russians exploding these mines when the Japa- nese’infantry crossed the ground where they had been placed. It is possible that the fortunes of the day hinged upon these mines. If the Russians had been able to explode them at the right time the losses among the Japanese troops would-have been tremendous, and it is possible also that the Rus- sians would have been able to hold the hill. Nanshan was splendidly defended. Nearly fifty guns of various glzes were mounted on the various em- placements, and there were also two batteries of quick-firing fleld pieces. The artillery was sheltered behind loop- holed trenches on the terraces of the hill. The infantry manning the field pieces ran with them around the hill, | thus using the guns for the protection of the most important points. RUSSIAN GUNS SILENCED. The Japanese began the fighting by bringing all their field guns into action and concentrating their fire on the em- placements on the hill. By 11 o'clock in the morning the principal Russian batteries had been silenced. The two Russian field batteries then withdrew to Nanquanling Hill and from there continued to fire on the Japanese untii nightfall. After the Russian batteries had been anese Make Repeated Charges Fro Which Not a Soldier Returns. . | silenced the Japanese artillery opened on the enemy's trenches, the Japanese infantry advancing meanwhile to with- in rifle range. The Japanese gradually worked forward to within 400 meters of the Russian lines, where they encoun- tered ayire and other entanglements, They succeeded in discovering an open- ing in these obstacles, and getting fin- ally to within 200 meters of the Russian trenches they rushed for the line. Sev- eral =uccessive chargek were made, but | gperations. every officer and man in the attacking | parties was shot down twenty or thirty meters from the line. The charges were then stopned and the Japanese artillery renewed its preparatory fire on the en- emy’s position. Toward evening a detachment of Japanese carried a section of the Rus- slan trenches, breaking through the enemy’s line. Hundreds of the com- rades of these men, inspired by their success, sprang forward, and then the entire line swept up the hill, driving the Russians from their positigns. It was in the desperate infantry charges® that the Japanese sustained the majority of their losses. ———— AWFUL COST OF VICTORY. Japanese Killed and Wounded Num- ber Three Thousand. TOKIO, May 28.—Japan paid heavily for her victories Kinchou, Nanshan and Talienwan, losing 3000 men in kill- ed and wounded in the repeated as- saults against these strong positions, but & scored & sweeping and valu- able victory over the Russians, cap- turing fifty guns, élearing the way to Port Arthur and inflicting losses on the Russians which, in the end, are expected tu total 2090 men. It is doubted if the Russians will stand again north of Port Arthur, They retired from the field beaten and they failed to rally at Nanquanjling, where it was expected a second stand would be made. The desperate onslaughts of the Jap- anese on the hejghts of Nanshan were telling, for the Russians left 300 dead in the trenches there.

FENGWANGCHENG, May, 28.—Two companies of Japenese scouts surprised a camp of 2500 Russian trops on Thursday seven miles west of Kuan- jensin. The Russians, ignorant of the small number of the attacking force, fled in great disorder, leaving behind twe guas and many dead.
