Tokio, Aug. 24.?The "> amato" in an extra edition to-day
say? that the Japanese fleet has begun the bombardment of Tsing
tau. This message was passed by the censor of the Navy Depart
I ment.
Communication between Japan and China has been severed
for twenty-four hours. Except for the very meagre news that
has reached here from New York the entire country is kept in the
dark regarding the progress of the war in Europe.
It is believed that the cable between Shanghai and Nagasaki
has been cut. The officers of the army and navy are absolutely
?phinxlikr regarding the progress of events in the China Sea.
Everything is quiet here, the attitude of the public being almost in?
different.

ALLIES THROWN BACK;
ATTACK ON GERMAN
POSITIONS FAILURE
French War Office Admits Its Troops and
British Have Retired on Their
"Covering Positions."
INVADERS TAKE 3 TOWNS IN FRANCE
Luneville, Amanee and Dieulouard, Near Alsatian Frontier,
in Hands of Germans?Reported That City
of Nancy Has Fallen.
Paris, Aug. 24, 10:50 P. M?The French War Office issued
the following announcement to-night:
"The French and English, the plan of attack having failed
owing to unforeseen difficulties, have retired on the covering po?
sitions.
"West of the Meuse the bnglish army on our 1 ft was attacked
by the Germans, but behaved admirably, holding its ground with
traditional steadfastness.
"The French assumed the offensive with two army corps.
An African brigade in the front line, carried away by its eager?
ness, was received by a murderous fire. They did not give an
inch, but when counter-attacked by the Prussian Guard they were
obliged to retire, only, however, after inflicting enormous lotset.
The Pruttian Guard especially suffered heavily.
"East of the Meuse our troops advanced across an extremely
difficult country and made a vigorous attack when they emerged
from the woods, but were obliged to fall back after a stiff fight
south of the River Semois.
"On order of General Joffre, our troops and the British troopt
withdrew to the covering positions. Our troops ar*> intact; our
cavalry has in no way suffered and our artillery has affirmed its
superiority. Our officers and soldiers are in the best of condition,
morally and physically.
FRENCH ON THE DEFENSIVE.
"As a result of the orders which have been issued, the aspect
of the struggle will change for a few days. The French army will
remain for a time on the defensive, but at the moment to be de?
termined upon by the commander in chief it will resume a vigor?
ous offensive.
"We delivered four attacks yesterday from our positions
north of Nancy, inflicting very heavy loss on the enemy.
"In regard to the general situation, we have the full use of
our railroads and retain command of the seas. Our operations
have enabled the Russians to come into action and penetrate the
heart of West Prussia;
"It is to be regretted that the offensive operations planned
failed to achieve their purpose as a result of difficulties impossible)
to foresee. It would have shortened the war, but our defences re?
main intact in the presence of an already weakened enemy. Thus
detachments of German cavalry belonging to an unattached di?
vision operating on the extreme right have penetrated to Roubairc
(six miles north of Lille) and the Tourcoing district, which are
defended only by territorial reservists.
PORTION OF ALSACE ABANDONED.
"Every Frenchman will deplore the temporary abandonment
of portions of Alsace and Lorraine which we had occupied, and
certain parts of the national territory will suffer from events of
which they will be the theatre. The ordeal is inevitable, but tem?
porary.
"Our losses are heavy; it would be premature to enumerate;
them. It would be equally so to enumerate those of the Germans,
who suffered so heavily that they were obliged to abandon their
counter-attacks and establish themselves in fresh positions in
Lorraine.
"Our valiant people will know how to find courage to sup?
port this trial with unfailing faith in final success, which is not
to be doubted. In telling to the country the whole truth the
government and military authorities give it the strongest proof of
their absolute confidence in victory, which depends only on our
perseverance and tenacity."
TOWNS OCCUPIED BY GERMANS.
To-day's earliest official announcement contained this state?
ment:
"The battle between the greater part of the forces of England
and France against the bulk of the German army continues to-day.
"The mission of the English and the French is virtually to
hold the entire German army in Belgium while our Russian allies
pursue their successes in the East."
An official announcement made this afternoon says that
Luneville, Amanee, and Dieulouard, in the Department of Meurt ho
and Moselle, have been occupied by the Germans. The French
front otherwise has not been modified. The communication
follows:
"The general engagement continues to-day with desperation.
Already both sides have suffered serious losses.
"Our armies had resolutely taken the offensive between th?
| Moselle and Mons, in Belgium. A general battle u now bein*
