^BATTLE OF LIAO YANG
; Details of Important Operations Dur*
ing the Period From August 26 to
September 11, Which St. Petersburg
Has Awaited With Ill-Concealed An
xiety, Furnished By Russian Com
mander.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 14.—The
long expected report of Gen. Kuropat
kin on the battle of Liao Tang has
been received. It is dated September 11
and is as follows:
“It is now possible, from details of
the battle since August 26, in which
^various army corps participated, t«
furnish your majesty the following re
port of operations:
“On August 26th the Manchurian
army occupied three groups of posi
tions, the first at Pettsu and Anplng on
the left'flank: the second, at Llandlan-
eian, In the center, and the third at
Anshanshan, on the right flqnk. The
came day the Japanese assumed the
offensive along the whole front. At Li-
endlanslan all their attacks were re
pulsed, and on the left we retained our
principal position at Anplng. After a
desperate battle the Japanese, how
ever, succeeded in securing the posi
tion at Pettsu, thus threatening the
line of retreat of the corps along the
!Tan river. Simultaneously a turning
movement by a considerable force of
Japanese was observed on the left of
. our position at Anshanshan.
‘Taking advantage of our positions
pt Llandlansian and'Anplng, In order
to gain time and inflict severe losses
on the enemy, I withdrew all the army
corp.s from advanced positions to Liao
£Yang. v
“In consequence of the mountainous
pature of the country on our front and
the bad condldltion of the roads to
wards the soiith, the two days march
toward Liao Yang was of the most
difficult kind, and only the devotion of
j ell the troops on the cast front enabled
Kit to be carried out in good order.
| “Only after Incredible difficulties was
kjt found possible to drag all the gups,
[without exception, and all our baggage
[through the passes. Some of the guns
| were carried through the mountains by
Infantry. Difficult as was the retreat
jptfrom the enemy, the march across the
[open country was still more arduous.
ffTfte left and center columns succeeded
| in getting all their artillery and bi
j page to Liao Yang.
"The. march of the right column,
Which was obliged to cross westward
to the railway, where the country had
buffered most severely from rains,
especially difficult. Considerable forces
Sof the enemy followed the rear guard,
Which maintained a stubborn resist-
•fence. The guns of one of the retiring
batteries began to sink In the mud.
Every effort was made to save them.
Twenty-four horses were hitched to
each piece, companies of Infantry as
sisting with rope. The horses and men,
however, sunk so deep that it was ne
cessary for the comrades of the latter
lo haul them out. Gen. Rutkovsky re
mained to long, covering the extrica
tion of the guns, that his forces lost
heavily, and the general himself. and
Col. Raben, commanding the fourth
regiment of East Siberian sharpshoot
ers, were killed. Notwithstanding all
efforts, It was Anally necessary
abandon the guns.
“On August 29 the army concentrat
ed at Liao Yang. One corps took a,pe
tition on the right bnnk of the Taltse
river while another held the left bank.
“On August 30 and 31 the Japanese
attacked our advance positions with
great energy, but evidently were re
pulsed with enormous losses. There
was desperate fighting on our left flank
and center, accompanied by a number
of counter attacks, resulting In bayo
net fighting, and It was compelled to
reinforce the fighting line -with the
special reserves and the general re
serves.
“During August II it could clearly
he seen that, a considerable force of
General Kurokt's army had crossed to
the right bank of the Taltse river.
Owing to attacks on our left on Au
gust 30 and 31, It was to be supposed
that the main body of Kuroki’s army
had been told*off to turn the left flank
of our position and attack our line of
communication. In consequence I re
! solved to withdraw the advance troops
to the main position and concentrate
n large force against Kurokl and at
tempt to hurl his army back upon the
Taltse river. Only at certain points
was this carried out successfully.
“At nightfall, undisturbed by
Japanese, we commenced the evacua
itlon of our advanced positions, which
rnlready had rendered great sesvfce In
'weakening the enemy by enormous
{losses. Thanks to the sufficient num
ber of bridges and the manner In which
tthe roads leading to them had been
[laid out, all the troops
dispatch stating that the Japa-
having taken the offensive and
occupied the district northwest of our
Sykwantun position, which was of
great importance to us, the Russian
tent holding the district was
3 to retire and I was obliged to
change my plans in order to retake the
lost ground the following day. It was
not until the evening of September 2
that the entire mountain village of
Sykwantun was In our hands. At first
our attacks did not succeed, but the
fighting was kept up with unabated
vigor, even after darkness had set in.
We repeatedly gained possession of the
heights, but were finally compelled
to withdraw temporarily. Many of our
detachments became mixed up, and in
the disorder unity of command was
rendered difficult. Leaders of Individ
ual detachments, however, continued
the attacks time after time and at last
succeeded in occupying the desired
position, thereby attaining the object
of operations of our right flank.
“As soon ns the left flank in the vi
cinity of the Yentai mines (Orloff’s
detachment)) on September 2 occupied
the heights to the north of the mines,
holding a strong position facing south.

lie opened fire with two batteries and
engaged the army in an artillery duel.
Orloff’s right flank was then four miles
from the left flank, and the remainder
of the army. In order to aid our troops
holding positions near Sykwantun,
Orloft sent part of his force from the
hill# and attchked the enemy In
the direction of the village of Sakhu-
moon. This movement was carried
out In corn fields. Our men with a
frontal and flank fire, and the losing
of their bearings in the corn fields, be
gan to retire. The troops remaining in
the hills also retired westward. By
that time Orloff’s detachment was
within a mile and a third of our other
forces. Orloft himself was wounded,
as was also General Fomin, who sub-
seqently died. After the evacuation of
the position which had been Intended
to serve as a base for our attack, the
Japanese extended northward and oc
cupied the whole range of hills and the
Yentai mines. Samsonoff’s regiment
of Cossacks dismounted and defended
our positions with the utmost courage,
but were gradually driven back.
“The enemy was now established In
J®. ex tremely strong position on the
hills, and it would have been too haz
ardous for our left flank to attack
them, In view of the losses sustained
in the previous five days. We there
fore withdrew to the village of Tnl-
lenko, and I decided to retire to Muk
den. the retreat being accomplished on
Sept. 7th. The evacuation of Liao
Yang began and was concluded the
morning of Sept. 4th. All our equip
ment was removed and there was no
time to save the commissariat roser-
"ss. which was sufficient to last the
hole army eight days. These were
all destroyed. The pontoon bridges
were dismantled and carried off by the
troops, while temporary pontoons wore
burned and the railway bridge wreck
ed. The army retired in perfect or
der. Tho enemy attempted to pur
sue, but were repulsed.
“Precautions were taken on Sept. 3rd
and 4th to prevent a turning move
ment on the east. The Japanese to'the
southward took no vigorous Initiative,
but General Kurokl assumed the offen
sive to the eastward.
“Our detachments holding positions
nt Tallenko sustained a furious night
attack, which wo# particular}* desper
ate on Sept. 6. We retained our posi
tion, but suffered heavy losses, one
regiment, which boro the brunt of the
fight, losing five hundred in killed
wounded. By the evening of Sept. 5th
the danger of a simultaneous attack on
our front and left flank had disappear
ed. The removal .of our artillery trans
ports and baggage trains was effected
In tho face of immense difficulties, but
wa# successfully concluded.
“Our retlrment on Mukden, Sept, 7th
was covered by a strong rear guard of
cavalry. We abandoned nothing from
Aug. 20 up to the time of our arrival
nt Mukden. Our engineers worked
with the greatest devotion. Through
out nil the fighting they rendered Ip-
I’alunhle services In making nnd re
pairing road# nnd assisting In the rail

sociation Convenes In Annual Ses
sion at Jacksonville, Fla.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla.. Sept. 14.—
The National Turpentine Operators'
Association met in annual convention
here today, A. D. Covington presiding.
A large attendance was present. The
morning session was consumed al
most entirely In nddresses. Just be
fore the close of the morning session
the committees on resolutions, freight
claims and Libor were appointed.
At the afternoon session President
Covington read his annual address.
In the course of his remarks he ad
vised a curtailment of the output.
The most Important business was
the unanimous adoption of a resolu
tion which, after reciting Indications
of depression, proceeded as follows:
"Resolved, That the box cut be
reduced that ten per cent less stuff
will be manufactured next year than
will have been during 1904.
“That each operator will so adjust
his operations that there will be no
doubt about a ten per cent reduction;
and be. It further
“Resolved, That the executive com
mittee shall take the necessary steps
to find out Just how much stuff Is be
ing made this year by each operator
and then proceed to adjust the opera
tions In committees all over the tur
pentine producing section. In such
manner as will work the least hard
ship on operators, but to the end that
the reduction necessary will be cer
tain: and be If further
"Resolved, That each operator
pledges Mmeslf to eld end assist the
comlttee and to do his reasonable part
In carrying out the purpose of the res
titution*.*’
Ae resolution from the committee on
labor was also unanimously adopted
agreeing not to employ recruiters or
try to entice hands from other opera
tors of the association, and also pledg
ing the members not to pay accounts
or loan fnoney to hands except In rases

cretion. The convention adjourned to
gneet again In Ibt tootning.
Amerlcus Company Called Out,
AMKRICU8, Go., Sept. 14—The
Amerlcus Light Infantry, fifty strong,
Is assembled In Its armory tonight,
sleeping upon Its arms, and in read!
ness to go to Camilla on the daylight
train In answer to a call from Col. Wil
liam E. Wooten, commanding the
fourth regiment, Georgia state troops.
The call for the military occasioned
much excitement here tonight, as
nature of the trouble was unknown.
SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept 14—At 11
o’clock tonight there was every reason
to believe that the following ticket
fehosen by the Higgins supporters
would be nominated by the Republican
state convention tomorrow:
For Governor, Frank W. IHggins, of
Cattaraugus.
For Lieutenant governor, M. Linn
Bruce, of New York.
For Secretary of State, John F.
O’Brien, of Clinton.
For Attorney-General, Julius M.
Mayer, of New York.
For State Treasurer, John D. Wal-
lenmelr, of Erie.
For State engineer and surveyor,
Henry A. Van Alstyno, of Columbia.
For Chief Judge of the Court of Ap
peals, Edgar M. Cullen, of Kings.
For Associate Judge of the Court of
Appeals, Wm. E. Werner, of Monroe.
Although thorc Is no assurance that
this ticket can be nominated without
a roll call on the nomination for gov
ernor the air is still full of rumors
late tonight that a settlement may he
reached In the nomination of Lieuten
ant Governor Higgins if accepted on
the first ballot.
At 11:40 p. m. Mr. Woodruff came
from his headquarters after a pro
tracted conference with friends and
■aid:
My name will go before the conven
tion tomorrow.”
Replying to an inquiry as to the
number of votes he would have, ho
wild: “I don’t know. That does not
have much to do with the matter any
ay.”
The apparently tangled political sit
UAtlon here yesterday had resolved It
elf by the time the Republican state
convention met today Into a pliln con
test between Governor Odell and Honn
tor Platt, which the former nnd his
friends until the last moment were try
ing to keep from taking open form
upon the floor of the convention.
The convention held a brief sepalon
during which organization was effect
ed nnd an addresu was mndo by J,
Slont Faaaett as temporary chairman,
nd adjourned until Tomorrow without
any action Indicating the Htrer
the contestants for tho gubernatorial
nomination.
Neither side tonight !■ willing to
yield the slightest point to the advan
tage of teh other. Frlnedz of Wood
ruff Insist that there Is no ground for
hoping that any menns likely to be
adopted can avert open conflict upon
tho floor of the convention nt tomor
row’s session. Governor Odell was
asked tonight whether any concessions
worn likely. “Not from our side.” he
Maid. Mr. Woodruff sold practically
the same thing, and Senator Platt ex
pressed himself as equally determined
and at an early hour retired for tho
night. It Is still thn hope of the vast
majority of the delegates thnt tho
Woodruff fnctlon, convinced of thn fu
tility of his candidacy, before the ac
tual vote Is reached will step aside In
the Interest of party harmony.
