The report that 16,000 Japs had defeated 30,000 Russians in a land fight on the Yalu river is confirmed.
The Russians were routed and retreated in disorder. Losses are estimated at 800 on the Russian side and 700 among the Japs.
The Russians made a special effort to hold as long as possible the heights of Cho San, or an island opposite Kulien Cheng, whence their guns commanded a considerable stretch of the river to the south, but a Japanese battery on a hill above Wiju dominated the position, which the Russians eventually were forced to relinquish; thus losing the key to the river.
The desperate character of the struggle there may have been due to the necessity for gaining time for the withdrawal of the Russian detachments above and below.
