A detachment of Ruslan cavalry consisting of dragoons. Cossacks and mounted chasseurs with' a tottery, 09 their way from Vanzaion, were informed that two companies of the frontier guard were engaged with the enemy occupying a position near the' village of Yemlziatun. A portion of onr cavalry advanced toward Wafengkau while two squad runs of dragoons were eent to support the frontier guards and one company of chasseurs waa sent to protect and reeonnoltcr on our right flank in the valley of Fu Chau. After accomplishing this mission the chasseurs and a company of Cossacks formed the right flank of our position. Toward 1 o'clock the enemy began to debouch In considerable force from Lutslatiim with tbe object of at taring our advancing line. Two companies of Hiberlan Coasarka crossed tbs railway In front of the cavalry and attacked .a squadron of the Japanese advance guard, almost entirely destroying It la a fight They afterward encountered the fire of Jaimnese Infantry. Two squadron of our cavalry and a battery of machine guns hurried up and then, retiring, drew after them a second squadron of Japanese ravalry. This squadron followed until It came In contact with a detachment of chasseurs, who succeeded In firing eight volleys at a fixed range Into the squadron, which then fell Itack, having suffered considerable loas. "While retreating to the left, the Japanese squadron came under the fire of a company of the frontier guard which had advanced, and the squadron retreated in disorder. Our dragoon came np at this moment but. owing to the topographical conditions they could not participate as part of our front, but fired on the enemy from the heights north of Lutsiatum. Discovering our endeavors to turn thfir left, the Japanese retired in a strong position. Our battery got into position and opened a aiiccetodve fire on the Japanese infantry with machine guns. Meanwhile a movement of the enemy's infantry toward I.utsiattin war, observed and subsequently about 2 p. m. dense liner of Infantry were seen occupying ihe (Test of the heights which had been previously occupied by dragoons. Our losses were Lieut. You Lieut, Meyer, seriously wounded; llnindt, slightly wounded, three meu killed and 42 wounded. II appears from a report found on the body of a Jaiuraese officer that the Fourteenth drag- oou alone lost seventy men. Our Cossacks were fired upon by Japanese Infantry occupying a fortified position on the heights near the village of Khutsla Pulse. 18 miles from Feng Wang Cheng. At the outset tbe Japanese attempted to advance across the valley of Koauiindzypho, but wera stopped by an accurate fire from our field guns, which the Cos.;acks had in bringing Into jmsition. "The Cossacks dismounted and with the aid of reinforcements and the fire of two guns forced the Japanese to abandon their position and retire under cover of their supports. The engagement lasted from 1 p. m. until 6 p. m. On the Japanese side six companies took part, four having arrived aa reinforcements. The entrenchments of the enemy were well constructed and perfectly masked. "Our cavalry worked the guns admirably. Their fire contributed principally to our success. Our losses were the gallant Cossaik rhief. Strakoff, killed: two officers slightly wounded and two bruised.
