The entire absence of news from the
battle field of Liao Yang up to noon today
is not explained by any advices from either
St. Petersburg or Tokio. It is now mid-
night in Manchuria but no word has been
received since 9 o'clock last night when it
was announced that the fierce battle which
raged all day yesterday ceased at 9 and
both armies had bivouacked on the field.
The only surmise to be drawn from this
absence of both press dispatches and official
reports is that the telegraph line has been
cut north of Liao Yang.J
St. Petersburg Aug. 31Ss-Success crowned
the Russian arms on the first day of the
great battle of Liao Yang and the utmost
confidence prevails here that the issue of the
fight will be a complete victory lor the
Russians.
St. Petersburg. Aug. 31. "" Lieutenant
General SakharofT telegraphing to the gen
eral staff on the conclusion of yesterday s
sixteen hours fighting around Liao Yang
estimates the Russian casualties throughout
the day at 3000. The battle ended at nine
o'clock last night when many positions oca
cupied by the Japanesew.ere retaken and
aoain held by the Russians.
Liao Yansr Aug. 31.---The town has
been filled with joy owing to a report that
the Russians took 46 cannon today.
The Japanese assault on the Russian
center was desperate in the extreme and
Japanese losses are great. The attack was
sustained mainly by the Eighth Siberian
regiment. The fighting at Wafango cannot
be compared with what occurred yesterday.
Shells shrieked over the town fiom early
morning and people who occupied positions
on house tops had a magnificent spectacle.
St. Petersburg Aug. 81. One of the striking features
of the battle was the splendid work of the Kuseian artil-
lery in whieh the Japanese have heretofore excelled. In
a dispatch last night by one of the Associated Press Ilua-
ai'in correspondents he says a report was current at Liao
Yang that fortyaix Japanese guns were captured during
the day.
There is great rejoicing in St Petersburg over the
news on bulletin boards and dispatches posted there are
surrounded b eager crowds. Olfteials of the war ofiico
are in high spirits.
The Japanese who have been Toontinuously advancing
for weeks are now said to be utterly exhausted and no
doubt exists here that if opportunity otters General Ku-
ropatkin will not fail to follow up the advantage he has
achieved.
