HARD BLOW TO CHINA.
UncOnfirmed Report of the BombardiI
and Capture of Port Arthur

Unconfirmed Report of the Bombarding
and Capture of Port Arthur.
London, Nov. PA dispatch received
here from Shanghai says that the Japan
csc captured Port Arthur yesterday morn
ing after meeting with a feeble resist
ance on the part of the Chinese. Port
Arthur was bombarded previous to its
surrender. The Chinese laid down their
arms and yielded themselvs as prisoners
OF war. The Chinese commanding officers
abandoned Port Arthur during the night
of November 6. 1t is reported that some
OF the representatives of the foreign
powers will start for Pe1in immediately.
W ashlngtOn, ID. c.. Nov. 12.-The Jan
anese legation has not received up to noon
today official confirmation of the capture
of Port Arthur. The legation people say.
however, that if Port Arthur has in truth
fallen, it Will be the most disastrous blow
THAT China could have received. Com-
SeIor Stevens of the legation explained
that Port Arthur had been pronounced
2mpregnable by the first naval experts
Of Europe Ii Hung Chang had built
there modern gun factories which rivallpd
those of the krupps. 1t was given over
TO the assembling and making of modern
war materials. 1t is in some respects
similar to the Brooklyn or Norfolk navy
yards, although three times greater More
over, Ii Hung Chang has conferred there
the pick of the Chinese army. In the
event of its capture the question arises
as to whether the troops were taken. and
also whether the vanquished sought to
blow up the city before giving it up.
In any event it is said that great guam
titles Of war material and implements for
making them must necessarily follow the
capture of Port Arthur. 1t is pointed
out. however, that the capture if effected.
is mainly important in giving the Japan
csc a fortifcatiOn inside China from
which they cannot hereafter be dislodged
The Japanese soldiers would undoubtedly
make the place depot of operations and
it would also afford a protected shelter
for the Japanese fleet. The gun facto-
ries which have been the chief reliance
of Ii Hung Chang would henceforth be
at the service of Japan

7rortant features of the whole report is the
statement showing that the proportion of

claimed by some who fear the extermina-
ton of the seal herds. and the conclusion
