CONDITIONS AT PORT ARTHUR.
Japs are Almost in Possession of
the Stricken City.

the Stricken City.
Che-Foo, Aug. 20. Information
which to a very great extent confirms
previous reports of the condition at
Port Arthur was received here Sunday
by junhs. which left there on August
"a and August 26. The most important
statement agreed to by passengers ON
those junks who were interviewed by a
correspondent, confirms the report that
the Russians have been driven from
the fort Immediately east of the rail-
road. This fort is named Rihlungshan,
and is located on the top of the dra-
COON hills, along the submits of which
the eastern defenses of Port Arthur are
built.
When the Russian forces retired from
Fort Iszshan, they entered Fort No. s
to the north Of Chaochanko. During
the nights of August Is and 10, while
it was raining, the Japanese attempted
to storm Fort Antszshan, which is a
strong position adjoining Itzshan to-
ward the city, but they were repulsedI
with heavy losses.
During the night of August % a he
roic band of 500 Japanese attempted to
capture Fort No. 5 in the midst of a
storm. Almost the entire detachment
was killed. The Chinese declare, how
ever, that the Russians have evacuated
Fort No. 5, but whether by reason of
this assault or the Japanese artillery
fire can not be learned. "
The Japanese are unable ito occupy
No. 5. t"
The fighting from August II to Au-
gust % was severe, but since the lat
ter date it has been comparatively
light.
On August rs the fort on Liaoti
mountain was fired on from six Jap
anese torpedo boats, but the result Of
the action has not been known.
The Russian marines have left the
ships in the harbor, and are working
at the land batteries. Shells from the
Japanese fire continue to fall in Port
Arthur, amid the dock yards and the
warships have scattered about the hlar-
Dor in attempts to protect themselves
from the enemy's p%rojectiles.
A Chinese who was employed on the
docks at Port Arthur says that the
b~attleships Retvizan, Poltava and Sc
vastopol are badly damaged. The first
mentioned ship rests low in the water
by the stern. The battleship Pobieda
ds in fighting condition. There are also
four gunboats and several torpedo
boat d%estroyers in the harbor.. The
recent report that eight destroyers es-
capped from Port Arthur can not be
confirmed.
The Japanese are concentrating forts
at Louisa bay, northwest of Port Ar
thur.
