PETERSBURG, - Sept. 1, l a. m.—With the knowledge ,that the Russian and Japanese armies: about | Petersburg m—l night is strained to the utmost. It is] believed here tHat the - fight cannot stop short of the crushing defeat of | one side or the other. All reports so far are favorable to the Russians, though the suspension ‘of all news for many hgurs has been e ceedingly trying and has given ri the tension in St. several rumors somewhat tempering | the rlier enthusiasm. ! It is stated officially, however, that the report-that -the railway and -tel graph have been cut north i yang is untrue. A membe eral staff said at midnight: “] can assure you that up to this hour communication with Liaoyang has not been interrupted. General Ku- ropatkin has taken particular precau- tions against any attempt to cut the railway is always possible | that g party might slip | through the Russmn patrols: or that hired Chinese bandits might cut the telegraph, it is fair supposition, in view of all facts, .that this has not been don he highes consider that of the battle military authorities here the most critical stage has net yvet been reached and they believe that the fight may continue for some time before either side acknowiledges defeat. This is an nportant consideration by the light of which to interpret any immeliat news TOSSES REACH INTO THOUSANDS, It is believed here that, in view numbers engaged, the desper! of the assaults and the-ler line (about seven miles). the the. two days’ fighting canr short of 10,000 on each side.

One correspondent also mentions a Japanese movement to the north t of Liaoyang, showing that] the Japanese undoubtedly were trying | to work aropnd Kuropatkin's rear. SUPREME Tk OF ENDURANCE. One of the surprising phases of the situation is the-éndurance of the.men. | They have been engaged desperately for two days, after more or less severe | fighting under unfavorable conditions | every day sinee -August-24.- wod se that human endurance gould nét persist much longer without respitesof s sort k - Japanese are using-balioons l” locate the Russian guns and trench One of the Ri an correspondents of e Associated Pres& points out that the anese sént up a balloon shortly after daylight-to the southeast of Liao- vang.

It plain, however, ¢ are no longer ing the s ty in artiliery which stood the mj uch good -stead in the earlier months of the war. It -was then hill fighting and the Japanese mountain batteries, in which arms the ‘Russians were deficient, told with deadly effect Now the contest is i a comparativel open country where both the Rus field guns and’ the Russian cavalry can | come into more effective use. ——— i WILL MEET AMERICA’'S ‘VIEW.

A Japanese torpedo-boat destroyer ar- rived here last night at 10 o'clock, hav- ing come over at top speed from Port Dalny, and at once took on board all the money on the Independent with the exception of $15,000.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 31.—There has been no change in pjans regarding the Baltic squadron on account of the result of the sea fight ofi Port Arthur on August - 10. The. maneuvering of the shins has been’ completely success- ful and the squadron has now returned to Kronstadt to await the finishing touches on'the battleship Orel and the cruisers Oleg, Izumrud, and- Jemtchug. * The Japanese statement, on which they” base their demand:that the crews fhai be interned until the end of the war—naniely, that the otficers and men of the Variag and Korietz are on hoard ships bound for the Far East—is un- true. The crews of those two vessels Lave been distributed among the train- ing squadrons and on shore duty in the Baltic and Black Sea, but not one man or one officer is on board Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's vessels.

The battle| ended at 9 o’clock last night, “hen‘ ‘many positions occupied by the Jap-| anese were retaken and again held by | the Russians, The report of Liédten- unt_ueneml Sakharoff is as follows: “From 5 o’clock, this morning until 9 o'clock to-night the Japanese forces | attacked our frontal positions before | Liaoyang and on the left bank of the: Maitse River. Both their artillery and | rifie fire ‘was intense. Their main ef- | forts were directed against our center | positions ‘and left flank, but numerous attacks were repulsed along the whole | ime. Our troops made several coun- er attacks, - culminating in bayonet fighting. “Many positions which had been oc- eupied by the Japanese were retaken at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. During the artillery attack our batteries did very, effective work. About 4 o’clock this afternoon the.enemy was observed | attempting -to turn our right flank with considerable forces, but several battalions of reserves advanced, and, after a fierce engagement, checked the Japanese. and compelled them to re- tire. The battle continued until after dark and ended at 9 o'clock. ““The 'spirit of our_ troops is excel- lent.
