STOESSEL STILL
HOLDS POSITION
Kept In Check Before
Port Arthur.
NO CESSATION IN THE FIGHTING

Attacking Army Believed to Have Lost
Heavily and Made but Slight Gains
During Last Thursdays Engage
ment.
shanhaikawan, Aug. 20.-The fighting
at Port Arthur yesterday as seen from
the Liautong gulf, indicated that the
Japanese had not made material ad-
vance ON the west side OF the fortress
since the general assault on Wednes-
day night From OF Pigeon bay the
infantry lines could be plainly seen
southwest Of Table hill, and a brisk
artillery fire from the Russian forts,
including the harbOr fortihcations on
Golden hill, was proof that no breach
had been made on the westerly side
Of the fortress proper.
The abandoned Russian defenses' at
Tatiatun, now occupied by japanese
artillery. were being bombarded, many
Of the Russian shells flying high and
dropping into the sea. The engage
ment was general along the entire line,
but no observation could be taken Of
The Japanese positions east OF the for
tress. In the center the attacking force
occupies intrenchments on the Antze
hills and the Luchung heights. II is
south Of these points that the infantry
will attempt TO assault the fortress.
The Japanese torpedo boat Kasumi
passed southwest Of the Laothie prom
ontory, having a junk in custody
which, 1t Is supposed, attempted TO
escape from Port Arthur i'm the night.
The fighting has been without cessa-
ton since Wednesday, and while no Of
fetal information can be obtained il is
believed the Japanese losses must
have been heavy in attempting to ad-
vance their positions. The Chinese in
the lumber trade between this point
and Louise bay who have been carry
II ing timber in luggers for siege opera
tlons, say that no mines have been ex-
ploded by the Russians. They say that
1000 japanese wounded have been
sent TO Sasebo In a week and that 5000
wounded are in the hospital camps, OF
which number more than 500 are Rus
sian prisoners. Lieutenant General No
81 was REINFORCED on Wednesday
1000 soldiers coming from Kure. The
westerly section Of Port Arthur was
burning yesterday morning.

FEAR The BLACK HAND.
ltranss Actions Of Kidnapped Boy and
Parents In Court.

New York, Aug. 2O-If there was
ever any doubt in the minds Of the po-
lice that the kidnapping OF little Tony
Mannino of Brooklyn pas the work
II a secret band OF cri2lnals like the
Malta, Camorra or "Black Hand that
doubt was removed by the startling
developments In the case.
Tho strange return OF the boy TO his
parents home. met at the ferry 10y his
cousin; the lack Of detail in the lads
story Of his whereabout the last ten
days since he was missing from home;
his failure to identify persons whom
Angelo Cuccoza, the self confessed kid
naper. had identified as parties to the
crime; the apparent indifference on the
part of the parents of the boy as to the
capture ana prosecution OF the ring
leaders Of the kidnapers all these
things combine TO convince the most
conservative detectives of the Manhat-
tan central office, as well as the po-
lice Of Brooklyn, that there is a formid-
able band Of criminals behind this eX,
traordinary crime, whose secrets their
victims dare not betray.
James Mannino, father Of the boy,
denies with great emphasis that he
has paid a cent as ransom for the re-
turn Of his child. but he fails to ex-
plain by what coincidence at midnight
his cousin should meet the boy in the
street. The father displays a lack OF
hostility toward the kidnapers. He
says he e.will prosecute nobody. 1T Is
for the police" he said yesterday, with
shrug of the shoulders. Il will prose
cute nobody"
Among the police there is no inclina
tion to doubt that this attitude on the
part OF the father Of the child is due
TO fear OF certain death from the
band should he ever reveal any secret
Of theirs which may have come TO him
through negotiations which resulted in
the return Of the boy 10 his home.
This dread OF the BLACK Hand" ol

may be, showed itself at every turn II
