PORT ARTHUR
STATUS NOW
Chinaman From There Tmparts Valu-
able Information.
JAPS TUNNEL UNDER.
Refugee Says They Intend Blowing
Up the Place and That the Rus
SLAMS Have Mines Ready
to Touch Of.

Chefoo, Sept. 17.-Japanese troops
between Sept. and Sept. 10 captured
fort situated on a high hill two miles
east of Golden Hill by assault. The
fighting was not severe. The Japanese
were able to remain I'm the fort because
of the quality of powder used at Gold
en- Hill being so poor many of the
shells fell short and others failed to ex-
plode. The foregoing information was
received from an intelligent Chinaman
who left Port Arthur Sept. IL. He had
been a dockyard laborer there for many
years. He adds the japanese are tun-
neling under the Russian forts with
the intention of blowing them up. He
says the work of tunneling is slow and
arduous and probably will be unsuc-
cessful.
Russians placed mines under all pub
lie buildings. wharves. arsenals and
everything that possibly could be used
by the Japanese with the intention Of
causing destruction should the Japan.
csc enter the city. The house formerly
occupied by viceroy Alexieff was hit
by shell recently and partially
wrecked. Ammunition is growing
scarcer, but there is plenty of bread.
The price of flour is now roubles. An
other shell struck a destroyer which
/ was lying in the dock undergoing re-
pairs. knocking II into kindling wood
and killing seven sailors. This shell
came from the japanese feet. which
comes in much closer than formerly.
1t is daily throwing n few shells. One
shell demolished several engines in
the dockyards and killed an officer and
two men.
The fort which the japanese captur-
ed is not regarded as essential to the
defense of Port Arthur, although II is
obvious there may be some disadvan-
tage from its occupation, as the Japan
csc are constantly receiving heavy
guns from Japan. to which the Rus
slams are unable TO reply effectively
The Chinaman is unable TO describe
this fort but the comparatively weak
resistance OF the Russians suggests it
was an outpost. This assault is the
only one which has taken place since
Aug 81.
Five eleven-inch guns at Golden Hill
which formerly pointed outward have 4
been rearranged. Three OF them are
now pointing landward. The informant
alleges all guns except ten and twelve
inch ones have been removed to land
batteries from on board the battleships.
where they were of very little use.
OF all ships in the harbor only six
are fully able to participate in anoth-
er fight at present
month ago Golden Hill batteries
threatened Shusbyen. Now the China
man says the shells fall far short OF
that point

WHAT HAYASHI SAYS.
Japan Will Make Greater Demands
Than Before Hostilities.

Paris. Sept 1.-THE Matin has
published a long interview with Baron
Hayashi. japanese minister in London.
who is quoted as saying: Before the
war we demanded that Russia recog-
nize Chinas sovereignty over Manchu-
ria. After our victories and expenses
we are no longer content with our for
mer demands. After the fall of Port
Arthur our conditions will be still more
extreme and after taking Vladivostok
they will be yet more go
The next battle will be at Tie Pass.
We shall continue hostilities through
out the winter. We have given up the
plan of taking Port Arthur by assault
and viii compel its capitulation by
famine. Its fall will free $4,000 men
and enable them to reinforce our
Northern army. but we 90 not need
them just now"
