Hurling of the Japanese
 Against Port Arthur
RESULTS OF 0NSLAUGHTS
The hkadO Sends Thirty Thousand Men to Take the Places of the Fall len-A Settlement of the Shanehai Affair Made Possible.

LiaO Yang, Aug. 22.-The following is supplied by the Russian correspond ent of the Associated F. IeSs With each additional report from Port Ar thur the wonder increases both at the persistence of the Japanese attack and the heroic stubbornness of the defend- CTS of the fortress. The Japanese are literally throwing away thousands of lives in the hope of shaking the cour- age of the Russian troops.
 Major General FoCk says he is con- fident that the fortress cannot be talk en, but that If it is taken the whole Japanese army will have to immolate Itself on the slopes of the fortifica- tions.
 There were i've desperate assaults on Green hills July 26, the Japanese returning each time with apparently ineXhaustible endorsements. On the final assault. however, the Japanese broke badly throwing away their guns. cartridge belts and even their boots to facilitate their flight and leaving 7,0O0 dead and wounded. Our surgeons worked heroically aiding the Japanese and Russians. The Japanese were so touched that they tearfully thanked the Russian surgeons.
 "The assault on Green hills was re- peated on July 27 and there were ire quent hand-to-hand encounters, the Russians leaving tie trenches to follow their enemies. The assaults of July 2S and July 29 on Wolfs hill were not followed up, the Japanese being too severely shaken. We abandoned Wolf hills chiefly for strategic reasons, as the hills made the line of defenses too long to effectually withstand the furi- ous attacks of the Japanese.
 The assault of July 90 was made in the dark of night in the hope of sur prising the Russians. Sixty tHousSnd men were hurled against our 13C10. but We drove them back again and again at the point of the bayonet It was another Shipka pass. The Japanese poured in fresh battalions and the slopes. covered with dead and dying, literally ran with blood. Our Thirteenth regiment was forced from it's position, but the Fourteenth regiment came up and with the bayonet again dislodged the visitors.
 AS near as ca1 be ascertained this assault cost the Japanese 10.CO0 men. The Japanese losses since the siege began nave DttH Ac-vNV iiitli lit NN plosion O. enc mine wiped out 5.C00. This was an awful sight. There was a volcano of stones and dismembered bodies of soldiers. while the sky was lit up with a purple glare and the mud walls of the Chinese village were thrown down by the shock. After this fight General Stoessel collected 10000 Japanese rifles.
 "The Japanese installed twenty siege guns on Wolf hills August g. Four of these are F inch guns. They have not yet reached our shore batteries, which are still out of range. but they have damaged the dry dock and railroad station.
 The Japanese are mapping the town by sections for the purpose of bonn bardment and they are assisted in this task by a Chinese engineer, who re- gently deserted to them. The Japan ese fire an average Of 500 shells daily and they keep Ip the fire both day ana night"

False Report.

Following is the report OF the ply
sicians of the city of Weiser regard
in the reports being circulated that
there is an epidemic of smallpox in
this city:
"This is to certify that the report
that has been circulated 10 the effect
that Weiser has au epidemic OF small
pox is entirely without foundation
During the past three or four months
there have been occasional mild cases
in this city, brought here in nearly
every instance by parties who were
not residents of the city. These have
been cared for and strict quarantine
maintained. False, misleading and
perhaps malicious reports have beer
made wherein it was stated that the
number of cases run into the hund
reds and that there was probability
of the city being quarantined. As
matter of fact, there is not case o
smallpox in the city of Weiser today
the last case being liberated from
quarantine on yesterday, June IA.

VACON ROAD VIA
WARREN TO big CREEK
PROMINENT NINE OWNERS IN THE CITY
WORKING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF WAGON ROAD T0THE MINES.

A number of prominent mine
owners of the Big Creek district
were In the city Thursday, en- route
to their mining properties In the Big
Creek district OF Thunder Mountain.
Among the number was j. b. Ed
redge, the hustling general manager
of the Independence Mining Co.,
Dan McCrea, the locator of the In
dependence mine, W. Fl. Davis, j.
s. Warner and Mr.. Potter of To-
peka. Kansas, and j. G. Green of
Boise. all stockholders and directors
of the Independence company.
These gentlemen are working in the
interest of the proposed wagon road
from Warren to connect with the
mines of the Big Greek district.
While in the city they interviewed a
number of our leading citizens on
the subject, and they were assured
of their hearty support and co-ope-
ration in the matter, and that pub
lie meeting would be called in the
near future to discuss the question.
In conversation with Mr.. Eldredge
he stated that the people of this Sec
ton do not appear to realize the i'm
mense benefits to be derived by
Weiser and this entire section by the
building of the wsgon road from
Warren into the Big Creek district

that will justify him in advocating
the building of road that would be
so or so miles farther as would be
the case with the route as proposed
by the Boise people-to connect with
the Roosevelt road at johnson creek
and build to the Big Greek district
His duty to his company demands
that he should advocate and work for
the road that he knows is the short
est and most practicable, and open
at all seasons of the year.
Mr.. Eldredge says his company
stands ready to contribute literally
toward the construction of the road,
and he has had assurances from the
business men of Council, Meadows
and Warren that they are ready to
contribute to the fund, and it is now
up to the business men of Weiser TO
show what they are willing to do.
Mr.. Eldridge will return to Weiser
in about ten days, at which time be
will be in position to state what
the cost OF construction will be, al
be will see Engineer Luck, who il
now making a survey of the pro-
posed road and ascertain it that hs
may inform the public. In tb'
