From about 10 a. m. our forces bombardea with naval guns three of the enemy's battleships in the western harbor. "August l^th. About one hundred Russians, stationed in the vicinity of Wukiafang, set fire to that place this afternoon, and then retired to Tungkikwanshan. The enemy's bombard- ment continued as on the previous day. "August 14th. Our right column comimenced operations during the night and attacked the enemy in its front, and suc- ceeded in occupying the line extending from Kantashan... to the heights west of Suikiatun via the highland north of Siaotungkeu and Suikiatun. But we were unable to maintain the above line, owing to the enemy's stubborn resistance on the heights south- west of Nieupankeu and those east of Siaotungkeu, which were strongly fortified. Our artillery heavily bombarded the enemy till nightfall. "August 15th. Having advanced quite close to the enemy the previous night, our right column bombarded the enemy this morning, and at about 11 a. m. occupied the heights of Nieu- pankeu and northeast of Siaotungkeu.
