2,000 RUSSIANS FALL.

Keller’s Army of 20,000 Routed in Battle at Motien Pass. Details of the btfttle at Motien pass Sunday from the Russian side are given in t report of Gen. Kuropatkin, in which the general admits the loss of 1,000 killed and wounded. The Russians were repulsed on all sides after desperate fighting, lasting from early morning till 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The battle leaves the general situation unchanged, but shows that a powerful Japanese army is massed and is constantly threatening Liaoyang, apparently, only awaiting Gon. Kuroki’s signal to advance.
