Heavy Fighting Of the Last of JuyJapanese Moving Up
StiI-Another Flankng CoImn-Nava Engagement Off Port
Arthur.
Progress Of the Siege.

Refugees from Port Arthur who have
reached Chez Foo, and part of whom wit
messed part of the three days fighting of
the week before last, deny that the Japa-
neSe were one verst {. &C of mile) from
the Russian fortress. They say that the
Japanese troops are from 10 to ID versts
from the inner forts. The japanese are
endeavoring to work their trenches nearer
the fortress. The Russian resistance to
these efforts is confined to the use of artil-
lcry, which ceaselessly harnesses the dig
gers. The japanese are said to have GO
guns in position on VOLTS Hill and vicin-
ity, and it is evidently their intention
slowly and surely to tighten their moose
around Port Arthur.
A refugee who witnessed the fighting
at VOLTS Hill on July 26 and July u de-
clares that 1000 Russian troops defended
that position, all the approaches to which
had been protected with terraces at angles
of 10 degrees. In many instances the Rus
sian soldiers dropped their rifles and rolled
rocks down on the enemy, with effect more
fatal than their bullets.
The Russian mines were cleverly con-
cealed in an open field. Their composition
was as follows: AT the bottom was a layer
of high explosive, next a layer of rocks,
and the whole covered with sod. The ex-
plosiOn of these mines threw the rocks q
distance of one or two versts.

West to Cut on Retreat in That Direction.
In addition to the heavy columns ad-
yancing directly up the railroad from
Port Arthur against kuropatkln, and those
striking him from the southeast and east
from Feng Wang Cheng. and Taku- Shan,
and the flying column which is trying to
cut the railroad north of him, the japanese
are using the n-Hai-kwang Railroad,
far to the West, to throw a heavy force
upon Sin-Min-Tung, press upon his right
flank and rear, and make his destruction
certain.
Shin-AIing-Tung is the northern termi-
nus of the Shanhaikwan Railway. From
Koupangtze, about 20 miles southwest of
Sinmintun, a branch line connects with
Yin-kow, which is about 53 miles south
east of Koupangtze.
A Russian correspondent of the AssOci-
ated Press in dispatch from Ta-tche-klao,
about month ago said it was believed that
the Shanhaikwan Railway was then un-
der the control of the japanese with the
consent of China.
As early as March % last, the Shanhaik-
wan correspondent of the London Daily
Mail asserted that the Chinese had received
official authorization to turn over the plant
of the railway to the japanese.
The japanese are in control of the Gulf
of Liao-tung, and should the statement IN
the dispatch from Mukden prove to be cor
rect, it would indicate that they are land
ing troops at Shanhaikwan. the southern
terminus of the railway. and transporting
them to Sinmintun. The strategic import
ance of the possession of the railway,
which was sought by the Russians early
in the war. is apparent.

MEDAL OF HONOR.
Unjust Determinations in Bestowing Them

National Tribune of July p, appeared an
article from Geo. w. Read, Co. G, SD
Ind, entitled: GLASS Pensions" He re-
fers to the proposed law granting pen.
sions to Medal of Honor comrades.
quote part Of his article:
Without endeayoring to detract from
the honor of any one, let me illustrate
The 9th Me-, whose term of enlistment
expired few days before the battle OF
Gettysburg, volunteered to remain in
service and assist in repelling Lee. For
this they were voted Medals of Honor by
Congress. 1t was disinterested act, and
many were killed or wounded, at time
when they were under no legal obligations
to remain in the feld.'
Now for the actual facts, from oficia
,, reports in the War Department: 1.-The
term Of service of the 9th Me. beinl
about to expire. the regiment was ordered
to Arlington Hights, Va, where it arrived
June %, 1868, preparatory to return home
for muster-out. While the regiment was
at this place the President requested it to
remain in service a short time longer, on
account Of Lees invasion of Pennsylva-
MIA. About 800 officers and men volun-
| teered to remain. and did remain, at Ar
lingtOn Hights, Va. in the defenses south
OF the Potomac, until the result of the
battle of Gettysburg was known. They
were sent home July 4. The remainder of
the regiment. consisting of about $50 Off
GERS and men, were sent home July 1. The
entire regiment was mustered out of serv-
ice at Portland. Me-. on July IL, 1863.
"On Jan. 24, 1865. Medals of Honor,
S64 in number. were issued to all members
of the regiment who were mustered out
with it. The official records show that it
was intended to issue the medals to those
who yOunteere TO remain i'm service he
yond the expiration of their term; but,
evidently through inadyertance, the medal
was also issued to about 5GO members of
the regiment who did not volunteer to re-
main in service. The records do not show
either the names of those who volunteered
to remain or of those who did so volun-
teer."
You will see by the above that no men,
ber Of the 9th Me. was killed or wound
ed, and that only 800 out of $50 had any
ghost of right to Medal of Honor. In
those early days of the war-soon after
the law granting medals was passed-the
authorities We're altogether too lax i'm Civ

through the Japanese feet and are now
on their way to join the squadron at
Vladivostok. If this was only partially
true it would mean a great deal of trouble
for the japanese. because with this rein
fOrcement the Vladiyostok feet could Sc
riously disturb, if not stop, the transport
of troops and supplies to the mainland. OF
course, if the japanese feet was not sue
cessful in preventing the Russians going
out, they have pursued them with all
speed and will not relinquish their pursuit
until they have Overtaken or destroyed
them. or the Russians have gained the
harbor of Vladivostok.
The Russians report that the japanese
fleet suffered severely in the fighting, los
japanese say nothing about this. but
claim that they drove the heavier Russian
vessels back into Port Arthur.
On the other hand. some of the Russian
vessels got out, for four of them have
reported at Chinese ports. Two protected
cruisers and one torpedo-boat destroyer
entered Kiau Chow Bay and exchanged
salutes with German vessels. The tor
pedO-bOat destroyer Rieshitelni went into
Che Foo, on account of the breaking
down of her engines. The Chinese Ad
miral demanded that she be made abso
lutely helpless, which was done, even t.
the removal of the breech plugs Of hel
guns In spite of this a japanese board
ing party captured her and took her out
1t is said that the Russians deliberately
sacrificed her in order TO send dispatch
to st. Petersburg announcing the escane
of the other ships. Whether they will es
cape or not is very problematic. If the
stronger portion of the feet has gotten
away it will have to describe long circle
around Japan in order to reach Vladivos-
t0k. The japanese will have a much
shorter and inner circle To make tn come

that could be recognized, and with no off,
