TOKIO, May 29.—The details of the fighting at Kinchou emphasize the heroic tenacity of the Japanese in thelr conduct at Nanshan Hill. Nine successive times the Japanese infantry charged the fortified heights in the face' of a storm of death-dealing missiles, and in their last effort they carried the forts and tremches only after a bayonet conflict with the Rus- sians, who made a desperate, despair- ing struggle to.beat back the oncom- ing horde. The final assault of the Japanese,® in which they at last succeeded in tak- ing possession, was marked by the most desperate hand-to-hand encoun- ter that has thus far occurred during the war. The Japanese left throughout the | entire action until night was exposed to an enfilading fire from the Rus- sian infantry, a gunboat on Talienwan Bay and four mnine-centimeter guns posted at Tafangchen. At a critiqul decision was reached the Japanese squadron in Kinchou Bay, which had | ceased bombarding when the infantry day were determined. At a moment when the outcome was hovering be- tween success and defea: for Japan— at that moment was an almost certain repuise converted into victory so suc- cessful that the forces of the Czar were swept into confusion and dis- under the bombardment. that the first breach was made in the assaults of the brown men.

The beaten forces, badly shattered, retreated toward Port Arthur, explod- ing the Tafangchen magazines as they retired. A detachment of Japanese infantry pursued the retreating Rus- sians far into the night. General Oku estimates that the force of the enemy consisted of one line division, two batteries of field ar- tillery, some fortress artillery and ma- rines. General Oku telegraphs his | opinion that the Russians intended to }(heck the Japanese advance at Nan- shan in order to protect Fort Arthur. Besides the big guns, a miscellane- ous assortment of Russian property was captured. General Oku concluded his report by heartily thanking the navy for its co-operation. The Japanese captured a number of Russian officers and men. | ST. PETERSBEURG, May 29.—Intense intgrest is displayed in the Japanese | i reports of the Kinchou battle.

SEOUL, Korea, May 29.—Hayashi, Japanese Minister to Korea, has noti- fied the Foreign Office that the Jap- anese military authorities are com- plaining that telegraphic communica~- tion with Gensan is frequently inter- rupted. The Japanese military au- thorities suspect that the country peo- ple are cutting the lines at various un- frequented points.

The command rode 400 miles in a fort- march of Seoul and was anxious to capture the town, which would have been an explolt, the correspondent says, | to thrill Europe; but imperative orders feached them to retire, and they.re- luctantly rode back to Wiju.
