Oct. s1.-The general assault

Chefoo, Oct. 31.-The general assault

into a fierceIy raging battle yesterday
when, according to hitherto infallible
authority, the Japanese flung a heavy
force against the fortress in their at
tempt at seizure of the commanding
position. The result of yesterdays
fighting is unknown.
On the oath, having made every pos
sible preparation, the japanese opened
fire with their artillery along the
whole line, incidentally continuing
their daily practice of dropping shells
into the harbor. The Russian replied.
The bombardment continued furiously.
until the afternoon Of the 26th, when
the Russian guns on Else, Antse and
Rihlung mountains, became briefly 81
ment of Japanese swept out from be-.
hind the recently captured hill, adja-
cent to Rihlung mountain, and ad-
vanced on the Russian trenches lying.
between Rihlung mountain and the.
railroad, occupying them after ar
hours fighting. The Russians stuck
to their post till the Japanese were
within a few yards, both sides hurting
hand grenades at each other. The Jap
anese infantry are now using mechan-
ical devices which enable them to
throw grenades with great accuracy
and rapidity. In the meanwhile an
other body of Japanese assaulted the
trenches on the slope of Rihlung noun
tain.
The Japanese trenches extended to
certain portions of the slope, and
stopped some distance above the ex-
treme Japanese outpost, where the as
cent Of Rihlung mountain became al
most perpendicular. Russian trenches
scanned the slope. To advance against
them over an unbroken slope, which
was mined even without Russian re-
task, but the slope had been torn up
and great holes been blown in at var
ious places by bombardment, and the
Japanese availed themselves of these
indentations, which offered combined
foothold and protection against bull
let's. In the meanwhile, while the fire
or all their available artillery was di-
rected against the Russian trenches,
the Russian eventually retiring, where
upon the japanese in thirty minutes
constructed trenches sufficient to
shield themselves. The Russians ex-
ploded mines, but the Japanese claim
without result. One company of Jap
anese engaged in this fight aroused
general complimentary comment for

actness. as If on parade, upon the re-
tirement of their troops, the Russians
opened fire from Liati mountain and
that night they made softle But the
Japanese had in the meanwhile
brought up machine guns, with which
the sortie was repulsed. Except for the
knowledge that the bombardment was
continued. all Information covering
period between the 9th and goth is
lacking, but presumably it is of much
the same character as that Just de-
scribed the japanese operations grad

been most severe from Rihlung moun-
