TO EXCHANGE PRISONERS.

Warning Countries Take Steps to Ex-
change Prisoners Of War.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 30.-The report
That Japan and Russia have arranged
to direct an exchange Of news regard
ing prisoners of war without inter-
mediary Of United States and France
% confirmed.
In view Of the fact that adyices have
been received from the Russian con-
sui at Chefoo saying japanese assaults
on Port Arthur on Sept. 20 to 26 were
successfully beaten off, authorities at
the war office discredit the Chefoo re-
port that the Japanese have captured
the main forts at Port Arthur. The in
formation of the war office proves the
Japanese losses during the siege to
have been $4,000 killed or wounded.

provinces. They were informed at the
offices Of the foreign board that the
agitation is largely revolutionary and
anti dynastic thus differing from the
boxer movement OF 1900, which was
chiefly anti-foreign. Ministers of the
powers here have approached the for
eign hoard with a view to inducing the
officials to take effective measures.
The board replied that strict orders
had been given the viceroy of Chilli,
commander-in-chief of the Chinese
forces. to do his utmost to suppress
the revolutionary movement. and add
ed that no serious trouble was antici-
pated The foreign board naturally
minimized the symptoms. which cer-
fainly are widespread, but there seems
ground to believe the character of the
movement IL different from that of the
boxers Of 1900. The native papers Of
