ST. PETERSBURG, .lunc iii. 0:10 p.
m.—-It is rumored throughout the city
that General Stakelbcrg has sustained
a disastrous tlefcnl at. Vafnngow anti
that his retreat is being cut off.
The result of the battle of Vafangow
(north of Port Arthur), which has now
been in progress for three days, is
awaited here with breathless interest.

Gen. Samsonoi‘t commands the Usuri
Mounted Brigade. The operations
leading up to the battle of Vafangow
date back to June 1]. when two Japan
ese divisions, one commanded by Gen.
Nozu, advanced from the Pnlanticn-
Pitzewo line, probably prompted by to
telligence that the. Russians were re
calving reinforcements. A sharp
skirmish took place the night of June
12 at the village of Oudiadcn. five
miles west of the railroad and seven
miles south of We Fang 'l‘icn, and an-
other skirmish occurrcd on the heights
near the village of Lidiatun, ten miles
east of Oudladen. The Japanese were
repulsed, but the Russian advance
posts retired. On June 13 two Japan-
ese divisions were five miles north of
the scene of the skirmish. their left
wing resting on the village of Valan-
gow and their right on the valley of
the Tessa, which flows parallel with
the railroad, falling into the sea ten
miles south of Pitzewo. After a day's
rest the enemy advanced 15 miles June
14 and attacked the left of the Russian
position, four miles south of Vafan‘
sow. The Russians had the best of
the first day’s fighting. annihilating a
dapanese cavalry squadron and taking
some prisoners, although at nightfall
both armies retained their positions.
Yesterday’s battle extended over a
rough country where artillery was very
effective. The Russian lines extend
ed between the villages of Lao-Chou,
near the railroad, and Fafanvopen.
The Japanese were between Tulan-
chou and Hun-Chou. Stakelberg’s
reserves were held at Si-San, a short
distance from Vatangow station. The
reserves of the Japanese were south
of Tafanchou. 'Gen. Noau’s artillery
began the do by shelling the Russian
right. while Ills sharpshooters were
busy with the other wing. Stakelberg
as not certain from whence the main
attack would be delivered and sent out
cavalry to the heights of Len-Chou to
reconnoltre. Having ascertained that
the enemy was not moving In that
quarter, he attacked the Japanese cenl
tor and left in order to drive the ,ene-
, my. against the railroad. The Japan-
ese'eountere‘d by moving up reserves
in an effort to turn the Russian right.
Half an hour later Sukalberg ordered
his reserves to move from SI-San to
repel the Japanese flanking tactics, in
the meanwhile continuing his attack
on the enemy’s left and center. This
was thesituation when the last ad-
vices were received. '
