so RUMORED IN ST. PETERSBURG
General Belief, Borne out by the Lat
est Dispatches, that the Situation
is Desperae-Japanese Concentrate
Ina all their Energies Toward the
Reduction of the Fortress.

A dispatch from st. Petersburg at
SIS Monday morning says:
ASIDE from the official reports OF
the Ryeshitelni affair and the food
Of belated kilograms from Lao Yang
and Anshanshan, no actual news from
the fronth as been received.
There is persistent rumor that
Port Arthur has fallen, but it cannot
be confirmed.
There is no additional news regard
ing the whereabouts of the vessels Of
the Port Arthur squadron, save that
contained in foreign kilograms.
There is a general belief, which Is
borne out by the latest dispatches,
that the situation at Port Arthur is q
desperate one. Apparently the Japan
ese are concentrating all their ener-
gies towards the reduction of the for
tress in order to release heavy re-
endorsements for the operations
against General Kuropatkin, and it IS
thought that until this has been ac-
complished the advance on Lao Yang
will be suspended.
Toxic, BY Cable.-Vice Admiral
Kamimura encountered the Russian
Vladiyostock squadron at dawn Sun.
day, north of Tsu Island, in the Strait
Of Koprea, and attacked the enemy
at once. The battle lasted for five
hours and resulted in complete jap
anese victory. The Russian cruiser
Rurik was sunk and the cruisers Ros-
sia and Gromoboi fed to the north
ward after having sustained serious
damage.
Admiral Kamimura cables the Navy
Department that the injuries inflicted
upon his vessels were slight.
The fate Of the crew Of the Rurik
is not known. It is presumed that
many of them were killed or drowned.
The strength of the fleet under Ad-
miral Kamimura is not known, but
it is presumed that he had the Adsu-
ma, Idsumo, Iwate, Takashiho and
other light cruisers.
Toxic is joyous over the news, as 1t
gives Japan mastery Of the sea and
restores commerce.
Flags are flying, lanterns are glim-
mering and cries Of "Banzai!" are
ringing in the streets Of Toxic in hon.
or of the victories gained at sea by
Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral Kam-
imura.
Underneath the jollity of the popu-
lace lies a feeling Of deep satisfac-
ton and qualification at the disposal
of a desperately serious problem Of
the war. The Russian squadron
which confronted Admiral Togo re-
fused battle. 1t was stronger than

ships and armored cruisers, and had
it elected to fight, the result might
have altered the fortunes of war
The strength of the squadron which
confronted Admiral Togo compelled
him to draw vessels from the squad

and this left the Japanese navy pow
erless t. operate against the Russian

Without Fighting.


st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-The fol-
lowing dispatch from Viccroy Alex
Jeff, dated August Z, has been received
by the Car:
General Stoessel reports as fol-
lows: At S in the morning OF July
27, the enemy having advanced a
strong force, their artillery opened
fire along their whole front, followed
by a series Of attacks, one OF which,
directed against Yupilaza Mountain,
was especially vigorous. At about 8
In the evening the enemy were every
where repulsed with enormous loss
es. I remained In the advanced posi-
lions we have held for two days
against an army very much stronger
than ours. At. four in the morning OF
July 80 about five divisions Of Japan
ese took the offensive against our
position on the Wolf Hills. In view
Of the enormus superiority Of the en-
emy's forces and the weakness of the
position our troops were ordered 10
retire to the next positions without
fighting. The movement was effected
in complete order under the protec'
ton of artillery, which by accurate
fire at short ranges completely stop
ped the Japanese advance. Our losses
have not yet been ascertained, but
they were not great. The losses OF
the Japanese were very considerable
In the engagements Of July 26th and
9th, the Japanese had about 10000
men and a considerable number OF
guns. The morale of the Russian
troops is excellent and their health is
good"
General Stoessel locates Yupilaza
Mountain as situated ten miles north
east of Port Arthur and says that the
Japanese attack on that position was
only a demonstration. the real assault
Of the Japanese being made on the
Russian positions on the Wolf Hills,
which, he points out, are only six
miles northward, and nearer the
railroad station. The general stan
explains that this position consists OF
a long crest of hills, offering a great
advantage owing to their proximity
to the fortress. The staff Is unable
to account for the presence Of five
divisions on the Kwan-Tung PENN
sula.
