RUSSIANS HoTLY PRESSED.
Chinese Report That Occupants Of Port
Arthur Are in Sore Straits.

Chefoo. Aug. 20, noon.-According to
advices brought here from Port Ar
thur by junk. the japanese were hot
ly pressing the Russian center along
the railway and the Russian right in
the vicinity OF Golden hill. These ad-
vices are brought by Chinese who de-
parted from Tsipangtse. which is one
mile from the city near Golden hill,
between the city and the forts Of the
Russian right wing. The Chinese de-
clare that the Japanese occupied Tsip-
angtse and penetrated along the rail-
way to General Stoessel's residence on
August 81. AS this report would in
dicate that Port Arthur had all but
fallen. the japanese expert attached
to the local consulate received the in
formation with great reserve. The in
formation Is accepted, however as a
confirmation of previous reports that
the Russians have been driven from
Itzshan and that the Japanese are very
close to the southern forts and the
eastern defenses. The local japanese
under the leadership of their consular
are subscribing money and preparing
to celebrate the expected fall of the
fortress.
The Chinese wh6 arrived today fur
ther report that Russian warship was
hit by a shell recently and sunk in the
harbor.
A report was cabled several days
ago that gunboat of the otvajani type
had been sunk. This is probably the
vessel referred to.
