LONDON, Aug. 23.-Advices from the
Far East all seem TO indicate the be-
ginning OF the end has come, so far as
Port Arthur is concerned. Refugees
from the beIeaguered city, who reached
Chefoo today, report that the fortress
has all but fallen, that the victorious
japanese have reached an advantageous
position between Golden Hin and the
town, and that they are preparing to
celebrate the fail Of this strong Rus
sian position
The reports announce that the fight
ing has been practically continuous for
days past. with the japanese ever press
ing forward IN the face OF determined
resistance
Port Arthur was deemed impregnable
by many military experts. but the Japa-
nese went at the stupendous task with
all the brilliant dash and energy which
have marked their movements since the

believe the incident in connection with

stroyer Chauncey into Shanghai harbOr
Sunday have been unduly magnified.
They are Of the opinion from the

merely went in to investiga te the stat

the Chauncey's mission was only one OF

Government Mop Orders
Thorough Investigation

Specific instructions were forwarded
by the State Department today to our
foreign representatives in China 10
make a thorough investigation Of the
alleged violations Of Chinese neutrality
now taking place in connection with the
war between Russia and Japan.
While not holding the belief that un-
der present conditions it Will be neces-
sary for this Government to take any
decided action for the protection OF
American interests. the State Depart
ment still feels the necessity Of prepar-
ing for eventualities arising should
either the Japanese or Russians perpe-
trate any act that would be a plain
violation Of Chinese neutrality.
Message to Conger.
The Department therefore earl- this
morning sent dispatches to the United
States minister at Peking. Mr. Conger,
instructing him TO furnish as soon as
possible all the facts attainabie bearing
on the present threatened crisis. Mr.
Conger has held the highest American
post in China for 50 long a time and Is
so closely in touch with the sentiment
at the Chinese capital that the Depart
ment feels he can furnish valuable IN
FORMATION bearing on the present Crisis
Instructions also went to Mr.. GOOdnOw.
the American consul general at Shang-
hal, and Mr. Fowler. the American con-
sui at Chefoo. Both OF these officials
are at points where the problems pre-
sented are Of particular interest TO the
United States. inasmuch as damaging
the property Of the Standard oil Com
pany at Shanghai formed the chief sub
ject for alarm in connection with the
threatened clash between the Russian
cruiser Askold and japanese destroyer.
while the threatened destruction of
wireless telegraphy plant at Chefoo and
the determined action of the Japanese
commanders there also formed the basis
for some alarming reports.
Great significance is attached TO the
fact that Mr. Conger should be instruct
ed TO furnish data on the situation. as
