Japanese Are Accused of a FriRhtfuI
Massacre at Port Arthur.
Special cable advices from Yokohama
say that the japanese have outdone the
bloodthirsty Turks in the recent atroci-
ties perpctrated Mt Port Arthur. The
Mikado's troops are reported to have
entered Port Arthur and massacred in
cold blood almost the entire population
of the place. There was an unrestrained
reign of murder which continued for
three days. The ~defenseless and unarm-
ed inhabitants were butchered in their
houses, their bodies ~unspcakably mutilat-
ed, and the whole town was plundered
with appalling atrocities. This, the dis
patch says, was the first stain upon jan
anese civilization. The Japanese in this
instance relapsed into barbarism. All
pretense that the circumstances justified
the atrocities is false. The foreign cor
respondents, Mortified by. the spectacle.
are reported to have left the army in n
body.
The column of the Second japanese
Army sent to attack Foo Chow has met
with no resistance SO far. The column
retains communication with the force

ing Mt New Chwang.- A detachment of
the First Army is advancing on Hal
Ching, east of New Chwang. This detach-
ment has met with resistance. but the

grading md paving streets, building rail-
roads and canals and making other use-
full public improvements. She has worn
