DRIVEN BACK BY RUSSIANS
Muscovite Position at Lizavena
Charged with Heavy Loss.
BIG FIGHT AT SEA REPORTED.
Persistent Rumors at Nagaski That
Russian Fleet at Vladivostok
Was Defeated.
The Japanese troops which crogsed
the Yalu north of Tschangdjiou
charged, during the night of April 26- |
27, the Russian position near Liza-
vena, a village on the Manchurian
bank of the Yalu. They were repuls-
ed, but their loss is not known.
Two gunboats steamed up the river
to the support of the Japanese, when
a Russian field battery at Amisan
opened fire upon them, resulting in a
duet which lasted for 20 minutes. The
Russian fire was too hot and the gumn-
boats were forced to turn and gteam
out of range.
The Japanese were facilitated in
crossing by their occupation of the
island of Samalinda.
A report has reached Nagaski that
a great sea battle has been fought to
thie north of Womson between the
Russian Vladivostok squadron and &
Japanese naval force, which has re-
sulted in another victory for the
Japasiese arms. The report is lack-
ing id details amd the n#val authori
ties say they have received no word
of the reported fight, but tlie rumor is
persistent and is befieved to be true.
The gresumption is that if am en-
gagement has been fought that Ad-
mira] Kamemura’'s squadron is the one
which has fought it. Only the offi-
cials know what vessels he Ius with

Between Monday night and Tuesday
morning the Japanese forced a pas-
sage of the Yalu, two companies cross-
ing. Heavy firing wads heard near
Tatung-Kau, in which it is believed
the Japanese made a feint in order to
distract attention from the real point
of passage. So far no bridge spans

fire succeeded in destroying the float-
ing parts of the Japanese bridges.
| On April 23 the Russians observed
