Such was the boastful inscription put upon

The third was erected by Smeaton, Tho

Upon this lighthouse no vaunting anscrp-

JAPS BEING SLAUGHTERED
Their Continued onslaughts at Port
Arthur Proving Fearful Drain.
Russians Praise God.

Ad7ices Of Monday from Che Foo
state that Chinese who left Port Ar
thur October l and were previously
engaged in burying the dead say tho
effect of the Russian shells and ma
chine guns is terrific. The slopes OF
high hill were Uttered with manglei
bodies and severed heads and limbs.
In one trench the Chinese buried 500
Japanese and 200 Russians. 81
While it is true that the regular wa
ter supply Of Port Arthur has been
stopped by the Japanese, the fortress
has other supplies which can be ta'
ken only when the city falls. ..
The garrison Of Port Arthur now has
sufficient food, but the supplies OF tin
ned meats are nearly exhausted, AMI
the troops are, now slaughtering thirty
donkeys daily for fresh meat, which
is worth s1.20 a pound. Eggs cost 20
cents each.
A private letter received in Che Foo
Monday from Port Arthur, dated Sep
tember %, gives further details OF Inc
fighting from September 10 to, Septem7o
Der %. = The attack began with
heavy bombarSment directed against
nearly all the Russian outpcsts anu
many Of the main forts. -,
The japanese attacked repeatedly
lay and night, finally occupying
strong position on the night of Sep
tem5er %, after suffering very severe
loss. An attempt to retake this nil
being extremely hazardous, General
Stoessel refused TO issue orders, bul
called for volunteers. Everybody cali
ed upon responded, whereupon a requl-
site number of men were selected.
Lieutenant Poggorsky, and Captain
Sychaff led them. Soldiers and officers
alike carried grenades (explosive
shells weighing from 2 to 6 pounds,
which are thrown by hand) and with
these they attacked the Japanese tenn
porary Notifications, drove the latter
from all their positions. Several mines
were exploded during the general bat
tie causing severe losses. The Rus
slams calculate the total Japanese 7oss-
es for the four days fighting at 10000
men. -
An official report from General Stces-
sci, dated September %, also reached
Che Foo Monday, confirming previous
reports of the repulse Of the Japanese
attack on Port Arthur, which began
September 10 and ended September 9.
The fighting was Of an extremely Sc
we're character The Japanese having
retired, General Stoessel issued 1.-THE
following proclamation:
;.1Glory!" i
Thanks to God!"
"Glory to our heroic garrison!"
"Glory to Illman, Sychaff and Fog

'"Thanks for our valiant votaries who
routed: the enemy from the trenches,

us to repulse the enemy. Praise to-

SUFFICIENT MEAT IN AMERlcUs

Yesterday added another day to the
strike record among the Western meat

generally, and while the larger cities
are at their mercy, to an extent, the
smaller towns in the South are not feel
ing the effect in the remotest degree.
Here in Amerieus the people can live
until the strikers and packers alike are
gray headed. There is enough meat
in storage here to last for weeks yet,
while the supply Of native beef and
pork is unlimited. The city man is
confronted with the prospect of having
to live on baled hay and patent break
fast food, dog biscuit and like tldblts:
but not 80 in Americas. The supply
of native cattle is abundant, and this,
with the further fact that SO many peo-
PIE are living almost entirely off Of
fruit and vegetables now, makes it
appear that the employees of the pack
ing houses selected very inopportune
time to strike, looking at the matter
from their standpoint.
