STRONG DEFENSES
OF PORT ARTHUR

The map shows the position Of the
Russian defenses around Fort Arthur,
as ascertained by the intelligence de-
partment of the japanese army a short
time before the beginning of hostilities.
1t is probable that changes and i'm
provements have been made since that
time, which, so far as are known, are
summed up by the war expert of the
European edition of the New York
Herald. He divides the perimeter of
Port Arthur into seven lines of de-
lenses, four of which are on the land
side and three fronting on the sea.
The first on the land side, beginning
on the east, crowns the crest of Rilung-
shan, with a big fort $50 feet above the
sea, which is very strong. The second
line occupies the summit OF Itshan and
protects the flank of the first. The
third includes the heights west of the
town, which is the weakest position of
all. The fourth line runs from the
southern extremity Of the Sunchan
Hills to the southwest extremity of the
peninsula.
On the sea side the principal group is
on Zolotaia Cora mountain of gold !;
the next the range Of earthworks on
the Tigers Tail, and the last link in
the line consists of coast batteries in
the direction of White Wolf hill. The
/ experts conclude as follows:
ITO sum up, the defense Of Port Ar
thur is assured by three very power
full forts, twenty medium ones, and
twelve smaller works, where there are
about 300 guns in the batteries. These
also may have been reinforced by naval
guns

swer Foreign Criticism.
VLADIVOSTOK, Aug. 3.-The recep-
ton of the cruisers Rossaiy. Gromboi
and Rurik on their return from their
latest expedition was enthusiastic.
Rear Admiral lessen was in signal
communication with Vice Admiral
Skrydloff for ten hours before the
squadron rachel port.
AS a result of the cruise naval Of
fcers believe a check will be given to
British and American shipowners car
rying contraband of war, or at least
additional burdens will be imposed upon
Japan by an increase in freight rates.
Officials of the squadron are indignant
over the criticism by British and Amer
lean newspapers lover the lawleSSnesS
of the cruisers" asserting that the
complete detailing of the cruise will
show that Admiral lessen displayed
the greatest humanity and acted within
| his rights and instructions.
The crew of the Japanese vessel
| Okashima were set on shore before the
| ship was sunk by the Rossaiy, and
| the crews of the two schooners which
were far from shore were taken on
board the Russian vessels.
The steamship Camara, belonging to
the Cullom Company of London, when
stopped was bound for Muroran for
! coal The officers say that she had
| evidently brought contraband from
| Europe to Yokohama. They allege that
she was on her way to Muroran with
! the intention of loading coal for de-
livery at Japanese ports or to the Jap
! anese fleet. Although the Camara could
have been seized, she had not enough
| coal to get her to Vladivostok and was
| given the benefit of a doubt and re-
| leased.
The Kiobuniu, a Japanese vessel, al
! though subject to confiscation, was re-
leased because there were women on
! board.
The British ship Knight Commander,
when signaled to stop declined to do
so, even after three shots had been
fired across her bows; and the officers
| say that her evident intention was to
/ make an effort to escape, which in
itself rendered her liable under Rus
sian naval rules to have a shot fired
into her hull She stopped, however,
at the fourth shot, and was found to
contain between 5000 and 1000 tons of
railway material from New York for
/ Kobe and Yokohama. AS the Knight
/ Commander had not enough coal to go
| to Vladivostok,' Admiral lessen was
confronted with the alternative Of re-
leasing her and allowing her cargo,
as he believed, to reach the Japanese,
or of destroying her. AS it was plain
ly, in the opinion of Admiral lessen,
one of the extraordinary cases coming
under Russian prize regulations, the
admiral assumed the responsibility of
sinking the ship. although she was
flying neutral flag. A high Russian
! officer said to a CORRESPONDENT:
THE irresponsible protests of the
British newspapers in this case are
perhaps pardonable, but the protest Of
the British Government, even before
it was possible to know any of the
| circumstances surrounding the action
of Rear Admiral lessen, is certainly
strange. The captain of the knight
Commander does not deny that his
cargo was contraband of war;"

tar the position Of SiVOuch and were

An Italian paper, the Italia Militares,

Japanese captured fOrty-twO guns and
an enormous quantity of war material
in the battles of Sunday Monday and
Tuesday. but no details of a reliable
nature have reached London, either

this temple, which the Russians held
for three hours, in spite of rain Of
bullets from the opposite ridge.
The Russian dead and wounded
were thick about the temple. Five
dead men had fallen in the road on
their faces. Their rifles were under
them, They had been killed just as
they appeared over the crest of the
hill.
One Russian battery fired upon the
Japanese for two hours and to this
fire a Japanese battery on the ridge
replied.
When the sun dispelled the fog at
about o'clock, the Japanese made
quick work of the affair." At this hour
the Russian line extended across the
valley and along the sides of the hills
on either side of the valley. while the
Japanese occupied the ridge from
which the pass debouches and the hill
sides on the Russian TANKS.
The Russians made a hurried but
fairly orderly retreat down the valley.
They left behind them, however. many
dead and wounded men, number of
rifles, drums, great coats and trenching
tools. Russian battery took up a
position in the valley and fired a few
rounds TO cover the retreat. and infan-
trymen were brought up in good order
by their officers to the support of the
guns.
BROWN MEN OUTRIGHT WHITE.
The white coats worn by the Russian
officers made them conspicuous targets
for the Japanese. The Russian firing
was altogether in volleys, while the
japanese fired at will The Russian
troops kept in close formation, while
the Japanese soldiers deployed in ex-
tended order.
1t was plain that the Japanese SOL
diers were possessed of much greater
initiative and dash than the Russians.
The engagement was a fair test of the
capacities of the two forces, and the
net result of it was that one Japanese
regiment, only three battalons of
which were on the firing line, defeated
three Russian regiments in spite of the
fact that another Russian regiment
was held in reserve. The Russians en-
ployed their artillery much more than
the Japanese did theirs
1t is impossible to estimate the losses
at this hour. Desultory firing con-
tinues as the Russians retreat, and
dead and wounded men are being
brought in by the hospital corps. The
Japanese believe that their casualties
number about 200. The Russian casu-
alties are undoubtedly much greater
than In the former engagement. Rus
sian dead are being buried all over the
field, the temporary hospitals are filed
with wounded, while a few unwounded
Russians who had hidden in the fields
are surrendering.

Battle Between KurOpatkin'S Force and Three
Japanese Armies May Be in Progress

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug S.-In
2 General Kuropatkin says:
Our troops have retired from Hal
cheng, along the road toward Anshan-
shan. The movement was accom-
plshed in perfect order and the enc
my did not disturb us.
1.-The terrible heat has caused many
sunstrokes and measures have been
taken to diminish the equipment the
troops have hitherto been obliged to
carry by transporting it in supply
carts. There is no serious news from
the eastern front"
Whether a general engagement is
already progressing around Liaoyang
between the forces of General Kuro-
patkin and the three Japanese armies
which have been moved against them
from the south and east the decisive
battle of the campaign is regarded as
certain If the Japanese energetically
follow UP their preliminary successes
of the last three days. At various
points the fighting has been of des-
perate and bloody character, the. Rus
slams offering stubborn resistance. The
losses, therefore, although their ex-
tent is not yet established, must be
heavy on both sides. Between 5000
and 5000 men is one estimate given
of the Russian losses. All the esti-
mates, however, are little better than
guesswork as yet and possibly the
Russian casualties may be much
larger.
KUROPATKIN'S LINES BROKEN.
The strong screen drawn around
- nr1n al ia IT, fo,-fr
tons has been driven in at all points,
Haicheng being practically abandoned
without a blow. The pressure of the
Japanese numbers and the failure to
hold the northern positions probably
rendered it useless to try to hold out
there.
The Russian forces last night con-
stituted a compact chain. in the form
of semi-circle around Liaoyang, eX-
tending from Anshanshan, half way
between Haicheng and Liaoyang, 20
Anplng, which is only thirteen miles
| east of Liaoyang. Unless the bulk of
General KuroDatkin's army has al
| ready been withdrawn north of Lao
yang it is difficult to see how he could
now do so with such great pressure,
the Japanese being almost upon his
main lines.
Inasmuch as portions of four army
corps were engaged in the fighting up
to last night, and as these corps
comprise quarters of the
whole Russian army, it seems certain
that nothing except a portion of the
stores and munitions have yet been
removed. Nevertheless, we'll informed
military attaches express the opinion
that General Kuropatkin will get away
with the bulk of the main army If he
finds the chances against him.
HOW THE FORCES ARE DISPOSED
From the best information obtain
able as to General Kuropatkin's dispo-
sltlon of his forces they were located
this morning as follows:
General bouieff'S and General
Stakelberg's corps formed the right
wing at Anshanshan. The First ST.
berian and the Tenth European corps
were on the left. The recently arrived
seventeenth corps and the portion OF
General Stoessers corps which is not
at Port Arthur were at Liaoyang.

There is no truth in the report that
Won Plehwes fate was decided at a

was a regular annual affair, similar to
those of the past ten years.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3.-The as

Plehwe is said to have made partial
confession, in which he declared that
at one time he was a schoolteacher in
a rural district and was greatly inter-
ested in the Zemstvo, for the curtail-
ment of whose powers he blamed the
dead Minister. He still absolutely re-
fuses to disclose his name.

RUSSIA MAKES CONCESSION.
Notifies England That No More Ships
Will Leave the Black Sea.

LONDON, Aug. Sin order to
avoid complications which might have
the effect of extending the area of
war, Russia has made a partial con-
cession to Great Britain in connection
with the Dardanelles question. Re-
plying to British representations re-
garding the closure of the Dardanelles
to vessels of the volunteer fleet intend
ed for warlike uses, as we'll as TO war
ships, Count Benckendorff, the Russian
ambassador to Great Britain, has adj
vised Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
that his Government consents to waive
the right to send ships through the
straits during the present war, but at
the same time Russia makes no con-
cession in relation to the general prin-
ciple involved and reserves to herself
the right to take such action as she
deems proper when the war with
Japan terminates
