ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. s.-Lieut. Gen.
Lyapounofi, commanding the troops at
Korsakovsk (Korsakon). Saghalien, reports
under date OF yesterday as follows:
"Our lookout stations reporting two
columns OF smoke approaching yesterday
morning, our detachment took its position.
The steamers anchored within eight kilo-
metres OF Korsakovsk station, when they
were recognized as Japanese transports.
Two steam pinnaces put of from them
and approached the cruiser Eovik, upon
the bridge Of which Japanese sailors were
subsequently seen.
"Our detachment fred on the boats and
Oh the Novik's deok The Japanese were
thus prevented from effecting their pur-
pose, and after few volleys they left the
Novik and returned to the transports, pur-
sued by our Are. The boats crews replied
harmlessly.
THE transports reembRrked the boats
and proceeded to sea. At noon some Of
our officers visited the Novik Later they
found a Japanese carbine and some cleo
trical conductors connected with mines.
The enemy had also placed mines In DIFF
ferent parts Of the cruiser. Nine Of these
have been removed thus far"
LONDON, Sept. s.-The Japanese yesterday
bombarded Korsakoff, the port on the
island OF Saghalien in which the cruiser
Novik took refuge after her escape from
Port Arthur and where she was destroyed
by ships of Admiral Kamimura's squadron.
TOXIC, Sept s,-The commander Of
the Japanese expedition sent to examine
the wreck OF the Russian cruiser Novik,
which was beached in Korsakof Harbor,
Saghalen, after an engagement with the
Japanese cruiser Tsushima. on Aug. 20,

JAPAN RAISING MORE MONEY.
Bonds and Savings Debentures for H..
OOO, 600 Yen Issued BY the Government.
Special Gable Despatch 10 The SUI

Special Gable Despatch 10 The Sun.
TOXIC, Sept. s.--The Government has
issued eKchequer bonds to the amount Of
100000 yen, through the Bank of japan,
maturing in December and January The
banks are eager to subscribe. The Gov
eminent will also issue savings debentures
to the amount of 100000 yen, at 8 per
cent. in small amounts. This will be done
next month.
The JiG is opposed to this course, 1t
advises raising the interest on postal de-
posts. 1t says that the balance Of foreign
trade was against japan in 1907 and 1908,
due to the need OF importing rice. The
prospect is that this year normal con-
ditions will be restored. the outflow OF
specie will be checked and domestic Loans
will be easy.

Several Japanese Generals. including a
divisional commander have been wounded.
Ammunition is being smuggled into Port
Arthur daily. The Japanese Intelligence
Department is unable to trace whence
these supplies come. Six junks left the
neighborhood OF Tsingtau last Wednesday
night bound for Port Arthur. They were
laden with meat and -four. Japanese
spies warned the feet OF the departure OF
the junks.
Owing to the gallantry OF the defence
some Japanese believe that the fortress
will hold out for another month, and per-
haps for two months.
The Toxic correspondent OF the Times
says that non-official news suggests that
the garrison at Port Arthur Is much dis
heartened. The ships in the harbor have
ceased to oppose seriously the approach
OF Japanese recommending vessels which
have thus been enabled to ascertain that the
battleship Sevastopol is crippled, while
the other warships are more or less damaged.
The number of soldiers surrendering in
creases.
Several junks laden with provisions and
ammunition from Chefoo were captured
on Sept. 2. Eight junks, carrying 800
-combatants from Port Arthur, were
also captured on the same day These
were sent to Dalny.
1t is noticeable that the Russians have
now ceased mine clearing operations,
which they have hitherto carried on as
siduously. The inference is that they have
abandoned hope that the remnant OF the
fleet can escape.
CHBFoo, Sept. s.-Chinese report severe
fighting on Sept. 3, the Japanese attack
ing the Russian east and west TANKS at
Port Arthur simultaneously. The Russians
allowed the assailants to approach close
to them and then fred volleys with terrible
effect. The fighting continued for three
hours. It included cavalry action.
According to the Nori Krdi, Admiral
Alex ieff's organ at Port Arthur, q column
OF 700 Japanese, while marching through
valley near Port Arthur. were blown
up by an electric mine. Few Of them
escaped.
The Chinese say that the Russians are

PARIS, Sept. "a private message has
reached the Journal from an American
attache, who says that the bombardment
Of Port Arthur continues with singular
regularity. from A. M. till noon and from
2P. M. till P. NJ. each day.
TOXIC, Sept. s.-The Russian batteries
at Port Arthur are not doing any more
firing. and the Japanese reconnoitre freely
without molestation.
The battleship sevastopol is in a sinking
condition, and four others are seriously
damaged
The number OF Russian deserters is in
creasing provisions are short with the
Russians, and signs of depression among
the garrison are manifest.
The buildings, docks, arsenal and streets
have been destroyed.
Three hundred noncombatants who at
tempted to escape on Sept. were capt
ured by the Japanese and sent to Dalny.
Several junks loaded with provisions
and ammunition from Chefoo also have
fallen into the hands Of the Japanese.
The water supply of Dalny was cut of
BY Chinaman, who was arrested and shot.

Rema rkabie vaIor OF Troops on Both

Special Gable Despatch 10 THv So:
ST. PErERsBURa, Sept. Sin the course
Of a description OF the fighting around
Liaoyang NJ Dantchenko, the we'll known
Russian correspondent. draws some vivid
pictures confirming the stubborn valor
displayed by both sides. Tic Russians at
one time pursued two Japanese battalions
through the millet fields to Saitza and
surrounded them. A desperate fight
ensued
The Japanese refused to accept quarter,
preferring death to surrender. The Russians
would have liked to spare them. but there
was no alternative in the circumstances but
to kill them all.
In another part OF the field the Japanese
reached trench which had been aban-
doned by the Russians. Another Japanese
force, believing that the trench was held
by the enemy, shelled the position and
then captured it by assault. On reach
ing the trench and realizing that they had
killed their own comrades they fell on the
PROSTATE bodies in the trench and covered
them with tears.
The Russian frontier guards remained
at their posts and died refusing to sur
render. 1t was the anniversary Of the
creation OF their regiment, and in spite Of
constant alarms they had spent the previous
night celebrating the event singing military
songs, as is the custom OF Russian troops,
The regiment lost large number Of officers.
PAT many points the Russians and Japanese
throw stones at one another
The Russians have lately learned to mask
their batteries more effectually and to con
centrate their fire better. Thus they have
gained sensible advantage over the Japan
ese. especially now that they have new
quick firing guns. The Russian soldiers
worship their guns, and they quote the
words OF Gen Kuropatkin, who said to them;
Soldiers, die for your guns as you would
for your flags"
Remarking upon the numerical superior
ity Of the japanese. M. Dantchenko says
that this IA astounding and Incompetent
sible. They have lost enough men at Port
Arthur and elsewhere to form an army.
Nevertheless their effective strength seems
only to increase. They are still concen-
trating fresh troops at the Lao River.
