An official report on the si: uation as it was en the 16th inst. states that in the Weiyuaopienmén district (south-east of Chang: u), about 300 Russinn cwalry marched towards pied, Szemienchéng in the Tasiaotun district; they then drove off the Russian cavally from Souchaize, eight miles west' of Szemieuchéng and occupied that place also, In the Kangping district (west of the Liao) at 1.40 a.m. the Japanese central column routed the Rus-imu cavalry from its outpost, sixteen -niles northeast of Kangping. Hot'y pursuing the Russians, the Japanese attacked their position at the southern end of Liaoyangwopéng (a town between the east and west main branches of of the Liao river). The Japanese also attacked the Russian positions to the eastward, from 4 am, to 830 am, and completely occupied L'aoyanzwopéog at 9 am. The Japanese right column, en route at 8 am., drove off the Russian cavalry and occupied Lochnankon and Machiapao, respectiv/ly nine and five miles east of Liaoyangwopéng. Resuming the bombardment on the Russian cavalry as they made northwards, the Japanese right inflicted heavy damage and threw them into great confusion, The left column also fired fiercely on about 1,000 Russians who were retreating northward from Liaoyangwopéng and inflicted heavy damage on them.
According to prisoners who were taken, the Russ'ans a'. Lisoyangwopeng consisted of 5,000 cavalry and twenty guns under General Mist-° chen ko, "Lhe main force retreated in disorder to the northward ud portions to the northeast and northwest, leaving evidences of the greatest confusion. Judging from the pro= visions and accoutrements left behind the Russian supplies are of the poorest. Among the spoils are 500 bushels of corea's. The Russians burnt a house at the southern end of Liaoyangwopéng presumably to incinerate their dead, The Japanese casualties. were thirty officers and men killed, and 185 wountled. The Russ'an casualties are unknown as those eft behind were cremated. In front of the Japanese c steal column there were over eighty horses killed and over a dozen in front of the Japanese left. Altogether the Russian -losses seem to have been hvavy.—Our own correspondent.
