General Kurop^tkio admits that the Japanese eapturad the Ptmgliog Pass after a fierce fight. Ocher accounts indicate a desperate bayonet charge, a prolonged artillery duel, and finally an enveloping movement, which enabled the Japanese to turn both flanks, compelling a retreat. Both armies suffered severely, though theie is no reliable estimate of the losss?.
