Russian Superstition Over Eventful
Christening at. the Czarevitch.
st. IPetersbura. August 24.--In spite
pf the anxiety which Is felt regarding
the fate of Port Arthur, the war office
and the admiralty were practically
closed today on account of the chris
tening of the royal infant and no off,
cial dispatches were given out.
So far as can be ascertained, no fur

Ing before the beleagured fortress has
been received. except that contained
in reports from foreign sources.
These latter are conflicting, some of
them representing that the Japanese
assault has become exhausted and 9TH
Frs claiming that the Japanese have
captured Etseshan fort. belonging 10
the western defenses. II this position
has been taken and occupied, 1t Is real
he'd that unless the Japanese are at
pnce dislodged the chain of fortresses
will be preached and the position of
Port Arthur rendered critical. The re-
port. however. Is considered as requir-
Ing confirmation.
The simple fact that the day to
which large portion of the public
looked forward with superstitious
eread passed without the fall of the
fortress suddenly encouraged the pop
hlar hope that the christening of the
Czarevitch will mark a turn in the
hide.
Reports that General Kuropatkin is
about to make an important move con-
tinues to be circulated but the charac-
ter of the move is not limited at.
AS the reports from the front agree
that the rains have ceased and that
the roads are drying, resumption OF
military activity is expected.
Since his retirement from Simou-
eheng. 1t is estimated that more than
$4,000 reinforcements have reached
General Kuropatkin.
Nothing has been received from Rus
sian sources confirming the report that

Final Assault on Port

OUTCOME NOT IN DOUBT
Toxic Awaits the News With
Calm Assurance.
Both Sides Have Suffered Heavy
Losses, and Final Record VIII
Make Siege One of the
RiOodiest I'm History.

Toxic. Aug. 24--The final assault
on Port arthur Is imminent, hundreds
of Japanese guns continue to pour q
destructive fire into the city and har-
Dor, along the lines of forts and en-
trenchments, preparatory to the infan-
try assault.
1t Is evident that the Russian lines
have been weakened and partly pene-
trated in the vicinity of Autseshan and
1tseshan forts. The entire line Of
Russian defenses Immediately about
the harbor are within range of the
Japanese guns. A number of Russian
forts and batteries continue to be Wig
orous. The Japanese death roll wfll
be heavily increased before they are
captured.
The direction of the japanese at
tacks creates the impression here that
the city and defenses on either side OF
she harbor entrance will fail first.
Final stand AT Liaotfsafn.
The final stand will be made at Lao
tishin.
Japanese Official channels OF infor-
nation remains closed, and the Navy
Departments reports of the striking of
@ mine by the battleship Sevastapol
and the firing upon the Russian forts
by the cruisers Nishin and Kasuga
yesterday are the only disclosures
made for several days.
1t is believed here that both sides
have suffered heavy losses and that
the final record will make the siege
the bloodiest since Sedan.
The Japanese are supremacy conf
dent of the ultimate result. The lead
ers of the government await the out
come in calm assurance. The people
are everywhere decorating streets and
houses and erecting arches and nag

JAPAN WAS ANGEaED.
Four More Days Allowed for Repairs
ON Vessels.

Shanghai, Aug. 25.-The negotiations
regarding the Russian warships here
have taken a new turn. At 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning Yuan, the Taotai re-
quested British Consul General War
rem to order work on the Askold stop
ped. as the dock at which she was
being repaired was British property
and as Russia refused to. obey China's
orders respecting neutrality.
Consul General Warren replied that
1t was too late to take action Tuesday,
but that he would do so on Wednes-
day. Consul General Warren then in
terviewed the Russian consul. The
latter begged for further time Consul
General Warren agreed to withhold
the order one day. This delay was
availed OF by the Russian minister
to make a supreme effort to secure at
Pekin a still further extension of time.
As result of his efforts. the Chinese
Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered
Taotai Yuan to allow the vessels to
remain In the harbor until next Sun
day
The ministry of foreign affairs rea-
son ser four days extension of time
1t is stated. Is that, owing to low tides
the Askold cannot get out of the dock.
This reason is based on fact. While
waiting for favorable tides, China al
lows Russia 10 proceed with repairs
and 1t is thought hat at the end of
the extended period. the Askold will
not only be seaworthy but that her
speed will be increased, thereby add
ing to her fighting capacity.
The Japanese consul regards this
action of China as very serious and 1t
is reported that he and the Japanese
minister at Pekin have recommended
to their government that 1t take decis-
i've steps.
The local consular body also regard
the new phase of the question as an
extremely serious one and likely to
lead to strenuous action by Japan. Tine
latter government has intimated that
in the event of an extreme course the
consular body and neutral naval COM
manders will first be notified.
