The statement also shows that thia withdrawal of the commissariat and supplies had begun early ln July, and it was only the reserve stock of supplies that had been rethat tained in case of a Russian victory conwas removed August 81st. This firms the statement to the same effect made by the Associated Press dispatches at (he time. It la also significant that early In July the bulk of the supplies that were removed were transported to Tie pass, indicating at that date no intention of making a dednivs It is made clmir stand at Mukden. that the only danger threatening the defense of and withdrawal from Liao JapYang waa the possibility that the eastanese, traversing the hills to the ward. would make a descent on the railroad about Yentai. This was also provided against and aidually happened. It was here, if at all, that hoped to catch the Ja)taness In their own trap and defeat them in detail. How near this came to happening la told In a private letter from an officer participating In the Liao Yang fight on the Russian right flank. The letter, however, gives a worse picture than hitherto drawn of the terrible miscarriage of plana in connection with OrlolT division. Orloff waa directed to take and hold at all costa a naturally strong position dominating In the Russian eastern flank. The hill Orloff question was unoccupied, and had three regiment to throw upon ita to head off Kuroxi. But throughwas bungling of direction the force actually lost in the fields of Chinese corn and entirely miased its objective before point, meeting the Japanese or-loeither had occupied the position, while officers, best of bis lost many aimhis force waa crumpled up and in cornless retreat through the dense fields when Gqperal Stakelberg came to what the rescue. Stakelberg retrieved would hrfre otherwise been a disastrouso defeat, but the rescue was too latevicof the give Kuropatkln any chance had hoped, and It tory for which heutmost exertion and was only by the skill that the Russian army waa safaiy withdrawn northward. (Correspondence i ff Following la ihe expert's description of Die disiiosltion of the defenses at , Liao Yang: The Russian troops below Liao Yang were disposed along three lines of fortifications ln the form of an arc or. circle, following the direction of the chain of mountains along the south and southeast. The following line consisted of trenches and batteries along the crest which enclosed the Liao Yang valley. The right flank stretched from the railroad on the westward, and waa followed by some regiments of the First Siberian army corps. Here was located a hill 99 feet high, called High Gen9!l, or Heliograph mottnlalh. eral Stakelberg remained niton this hill (luring the fight August 3m h and 31st. At the foot of the mountain were trenches flanked on the left by emThe defenses then' placed batteries. followed the crests of low hills and ended in an enormous mine district opposite tlie village of Siao Yansy. Further on toward the northeast Ihe line of trenches extended along the rides of the hills behind fields of corn. The position of the third Siberian corps and the Tenth Eumiiean corps began at the village of Koutiatze. The iiositlon "was very steep. Its t flank touched the road from Myndia-fa- n to Sindlagou. The greater part f t the batteries of the Third and Tenth corps were located behind the hills, the others were concealed In the corn facing the enemy. The Tenth corps had a front uf eight verats from the village. 'From the village of Myndlafan it turned toward the east, ending on the lert lank of the Taitse river, near Siaopotou. The strong" pivots on this lino were Height 118' and mountain. At the foot of the latter passed the Kerg AVang Cheng road. The valley through which this road runs was tinder the lire of three batteries, adroitly masked on the slopes faring the road. Parts of the Seventeenth European corps occupied a chain of ateep mountains on the right bank of the Taitse river between the villages of San Yautzy and Erdag.tu. The whole valley was exposed to the In fire of the batteries of this corps. addition batteries were located near the village of Khandiafeng. protecting the extremity of the left flank of the Tenth corps. The defenses of this first line were only provisional except Hedo-grap- h bill, and the position at the village of Maystong. where . harriers, barbed wire entanglements, pits and mines had been constructed.
