LONDON. July 13.-While nothing e.
fcial is at hand to confirm the report it
is generally believed this morning that
= fierce fight has occurred at Port Ar
thur on the land side and possibly also
an attack by the japanese by sea.
The first report intimating such a
thing came late yesterday and reached
ST Petersburg via ChefoO. This report
had IL that the japanese had made de-
termined assault on the Port Arthur
works and had been defeated, losing in
the neighborhood OF thirty thousand
killed and wounded.
This report is again published this
morning in several London and oonti-
mental papers. among them the Even
ing star which has heard the rumor
AT Tientsin.
Story May Be True.

The gravest concern is expressed by
the local dealers and agents as TO where
beef will stop In it's upword soar, pro-
vided the strie remains unbroken for an
indefinite period.
Meat sor Washingtouians is supplied
from two sources; the great Western
packing houses. who furnish. say, three
quarters OF the meat consumed, aud the
firms who depend for their supply upon
the cattle in contiguous territory and
shipments OF dressed beef from Pitts
brug. East St. Louis. and Louisville
The local agents of the Western pack
ing houses report meat for one week in
their storage rooms. and in several
cases next weeks supply has been pro-
vided for. The retailers in Center Mar
ket, and along Louisiana Avenue are, as
a rule, similarly situated. Unless the
strike assumes serious proportions
therefore, Washington Will not suffer
beyond the high price which meat will
certainly assume. which Will. Of neces-
sity. cut of the meat supply Of the
poor.
May Last Indefinitely.
While all agents OF the great houses,
local killers, and retail men expressed
the hope and usually the belief that the
strike would not prove serious. there are
those who call attention TO the pos
siblea contingency that the trouble
may last indefinitely. They prefer not
TO discuss what would happen il the
meat supply should be suddenly cut
short off
They insist that no advices have been
received by the local agents from the
