The Rusemo artillery fire was leavy, but the Japanese remained al- most silent The captured villages pre- sented a warlike picture, with dapailese and Itussiao dead lying side by side in the streets. The Russian infantry kept wider the over of the walls' and houses to protect 'themselves from the Japanese fire from adjoining villeges. • ;the eountry is flat and thickly pop- ulated, and the villages are large, and rich in foodstuffs. It is snowing and bitterly cold, and the troops eagerly soek• the protection of the villages, which . in this district have escaped destruction. On Jan. 20 there was it heavy fire along the right front, and an advance was made. The wind at the Russians' Intake drove the snow in the faces of the Japanese, and it was very difficult to see any distance, One Siberian rifle regiment suffered somewhat heavy losses, On Jan. 27 the fighting continued on the right flank, but it does not sent to be developing along the contra or eastern flank. Probably the cold, wea- ther prevents it further continuance of the battle. There is more artillery on both sides than in any former battle of history. ••••••* • RUSSIANS LOSE 1,0454 They Took Many Japaneee Prisonere However, St. Petersburg, Ian. 20.—A telegram from Chansiamutan says the Russians lost forty-five officers and 1,000 men killed or wounded at the capture of the Village of Bananas, on JiM, 20.
