THE BATTLE OF HEI-KOU-TAL
JAPS IN A TIGHT PLACE.
Additional particulars of the recent en- ; gagement show that the Japanese were j threatened with serious disaster until \ Field-Marshal Oyama's expedient of a ! night attack against very heavy odds | was successfully brought off. Prior to j this the Japanese left had lost heavily, j and been compelled to retreat. The Rus- i sians admit that their casualties numbered thirteen thousand. The new dis- j position of the armies place the Japanese with their left wing on the right bank of the Hun River. The Russians claim to have cut the railway to the south of , Liao-yang.
