They drove the defenders from the successive terraces and trenches. The Japanese made sever- al heroic charges, but were stopped by the wire entanglements and a stubborn rifle fire from the higher ridges. The final bayonet charge at 3 o’clock in the afternoon disâ€" lodged the .enemy from their last trench, and the Russians, abandoning the north face of the hill, retreated to the southern slopes in the direc- tion of Man»Kunn~Ling. They blew up the Tafangshsn station on the Dalny branch of the railway. ‘ At 7 o’clock in the evening Japanese completely occupied the Nanshan Hill. Meantime the Rus- sians 'are holding the trenches on the south shore of Talienwan Bay. Dalny is isolated and helpless. Four war- ships co-operatcd with the Japanese army in bombarding the Russians from west of Kinchau. Japanese headquarters has com- plimented the army on its extra- ordinary fortitude. A Japanese officer of high rank made the following statement:â€" “The Japanese in attacking Kin- cli-au and Nanshan Hill had to fight against great odds. The Russians were in full command of the strateâ€" gic advantages afforded by nature, and these advantages were augment- ed by the newest inventions for de- fence. The forts on Nanshan Hill were armed with' heavy guns. The Japanese had only field guns, heavy guns being unavailable on account of the difficulties of transportation. Our army deserves great credit for hav- ing driven the Russians from this stronghold. It was a feat previous- ly considered to have been imposâ€" sible. "I fear our losses have been heavy. but We have gained the strongest point barring our way to the in- vestment of Port Arthur." AWFUL CARNAGE. Subsequent reports received at Tokio indicate that the storming of the Nanshcn Hill on Thursday was a. bloody afi‘air. The Japanese cenâ€" tred their fire on the Rumian batterâ€" ies, in which work they were aided by four gunboats from Kinchau Bay. They succeeded in silencing many of the enemy’s guns. The Russians had constructed a series of trenches around the hill on a terrace protected by wire entangleâ€" ments and other such devices. The Japanese made a series of rushes. but they were in vain. The deadly rifle and cannon fire of the enemy checked them repeatedly. Finally at three o’clock in the af- ternoon the Japanese reformed and stormed the crest of the hill. The Russians held to their position dog- gedly and it was seven o'clock in the evening before the Japanese fin- ally gained possession of the ridge. DETAILS OF THE BATTLE. Japan paid heavily for her vicâ€" tories at Kinchau, Nanslmn, .and Talienwan, losing 3,500 men in kill- ed and wounded in the repeated asâ€" saults against these positions. but she scored a sweeping and valuable Victory over the Russians, capturing seventy guns, clearing the way to Port Arthur, and inflicting terrible losses on the Russians, says a Toâ€" kio despntch. - It. is dbubted if the Russians will stand again north of Port Arthur. The}: retired from the field beaten, and they qunnling. where it Was anticipated that a second stand would be made. The desperate onslaughts of the Japanese on the heights of Nanshzm ' were telling. for the Russians left 800 dead in the trenches there. A complete search of this field is exâ€" pected to Show a, greater number of dead. ‘ Nanquunling was occupied on Fri« day morning by a force of infantry, artillery. and engineers under the the ‘ failed to rally at Nanâ€"v l The assault on Nanshan Hill was one of the fiercest and bloodiest afâ€" fairs in modern warfare.

A splendid stroke of fortune was the discovery and destruction by the Japanese of the electric wires leadâ€" ing to the mines at the eastern foot of Nanshan Hill. This prevented the Russians from exploding these mines when the Japanese infantry crossed the ground where they had been placed. It is possible that the fortune of the day hinged upon these mines.

An Ottawa despatch says :â€"â€"â€"The Department of Trade and Commerce is issuing a call for tenders for: monthly steamship services betwech Canada and Mexico for a period of five years. The Atlantic service will be between Montreal in the summer and Halifax in the winter and the Mexican ports of Progreso, Contza- coalcoas, Vera, Cruz and Tampico, touching at Nassau, the Bahamas and Havana. Cuba. The Pacific ser- vice will bc between Vancouver, 1}. (1., and the Mexican ports of Mame Ian, San Bins, Mmilanillo, Acapulco. Puerto Angel, Saline. Cruz, Tonlul and San Benito. Tenders may be made for either or both services. The vessels employed are to class A1, to run under the British flag, to have a carrying capacity of not less than 3,000 tons, with adequate pas- senger accommodation. to maintain between ports a minimum speed of ten knots per hour. The Mexican Government have ex- pressed their willingness to give a. subsidy of $100,000 in Mexican cur- rency for the Pacific service, and $20,000 for the Atlantic service. The Dominion Government will suppltL ment this sum by each subsidy as they may deem expedient.
