GREAT MOVEMENTS PROCEEDING.
ADVANCE BY 150,000 JAPANESE. FIGHTING FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THE RUSSIANS HOLDING KAIPING. London, June 21. The recent reports of heavy fighting were evidently based on constant skirmishing in the vicinity of the road between Suiyen and Haicheng. Accounts received at St. Petersburg show that Generals Oka, Nodzu, and Kuroki in command of 150,000 men, are vigorously making a combined movement against the positions held by General Kuropatkin at Kaiping, Haicheng, and Liao-yang. The Japanese front extends for 105 miles in crescent shape from Siung-yue-cheng, a place on the coast 25 miles south of Kaiping to beyond the Mo-tien-ling road. Reports published in Paris describe sanguinary fighting since Monday along a front extending for 40 kilometres (about 25 miles). Success, it is stated, alternates from side, to side', the fighting being very stubborn. Neither side had been able to claim, a victory.
