fine but is cold during the nights.
Gen. Sakharoff, in a dispatch to the
general staff dated Monday, says:
"a Japanese attack on the Russian
entertainments north of Sinchlnpu Oc-
tober 80 was repulsed. The Japanese
artillery commenced the bombardment
of eight positions at about ten O'Clock
Sunday and kept it up until two o'clock
Monday morning. A Japanese advance
against the Russians near the village OF
Tungo was discovered Sunday night and
was met by the Russian artillery
A telegram from Gen. Stoessel dated
October II constitutes the latest Russian
news from Port Arthur. The general
then announced that the Russians had
repulsed a Japanese attack on the forts
north and northeast of Port Arthur Oc-
tober 16, with heavy loss to the assail-
ants Gen. Stoessel also asked for the
blessing of the emperor and empress.
Lone Tree Hill Bonn barded.
Mukden, Nov. From an early hour
Monday morning there has been heavy
bombardment of Poudloff (LOne Tree)
hill by the Japanese. Large masses Of
Japanese were moving eastWards dur
ing October 20 and 3d. After several
days of quietness big guns commenced
booming to the southeast Sunday night,
continuing until early Monday morning.
Fighting has taken place between recon-
noitering parties, the Japanese having
crossed the Shakhe river toward the
southeast.
A big battle is expected this week,
which, unless successful upon the part Of
the Russians, will probably be the last
under the recent arrangement. A COM
plete reorganization of the army is now
under way. Gen. Kuropatkin continues
in supreme command. Viceroy Alexien
left on October 80 for Russia.
Positions Strongly Fortified.
The Japanese have occupied a rocky
promontory south of Sindiapu and also
the hills southeast of Koutiatze. The
positions along their line are strongly
fortified with redoubts, wire entangle-

are arranged in double tiers. The posi-
lions, especially on the plain are ex-
ceedingly we'll masked. On Saturday

ward and judging by the dust it must
have been a heavy force. The northern
slopes of the hills held by Gen. Zarou-
baieff's corps resemble the homes of
cave jewellers. All the slopes are

comfortable for the soldiers at night

4 The Japanese have been preparing TO,
this assault for month. It's believed
that the Japanese did not expect to cap
ture the town on this occasion but to &C
complish another important forwars
step. This plan was adopted followin;
the first assault, when thousands of live
were sacrificed in an attempt to swarm
over the Notifications by mere fore
of numbers regardless of loss. This as
sault, like the previous one, was
climatic incident Of weary weeks o
trench digging, gun mounting and small
engagements. In the opinion of expert
the assault will cease when the Japan
csc have secured such positions as vii
enable them to keep steadily closer I'm

believed that two more general assault
will be necessary before the distanc
between the belligerent lines is sufficient
