Naval Fight at Port Arthur.

ST. Petersburg, July IAN official
dispatch received from Lieutenant
General Stoessel. the commander of
the Russian military forces at Port
Arthur, says that the squadron of Rear
Admiral Withoeft re-entered that port
after repulsing five torpedo boat at
tacks. 1t contains no further details.
1t does not mention any damage to the
Russian ships.
AS no injury to the vessels of the
Russian squadron was mentioned, the
belief of the authorities is greatly
strengthened that Admiral Togo's re-
port was very much exaggerated.
While offering no specific ground for
this opinion the admiralty believes
that fight occurred on Saturday.
General Stoessel's dispatch is adj
dressed to Lieutenant General Zeilon-
sky, General Kuropatkin's chief of
staff, and is dated June 24th.

Affairs in Port Arthur.

On Board the Daily News Dispatch
Boat Fawan, Che Foo, June 3O.-Eight
European refugees who left Port Ar
thur in a Chinese junk were picked
up yesterday morning by the Fawan.
There were five men, two women and
the upper class. The Information they
gave seems reliable. They stated that
the Russian fleet now consists OF the
following ships in good condition: The
Czarevitch, Retvisan, Pobieda, Peres
Wet, Poltava, Askold, Diana, Bayan
Novik and twenty torpedo craft and
smaller boats. The torpedo transport
Amur is damaged and the battleship
Sevastapool slightly damaged, but
they can soon be repaired.
There are 1900 sailors and 10000
soldiers in the fortress. Women are
largely employed as nurses. There
are $50 artisans and 1000 citizens.
These 1000 have now been drafted
into the army and are drilling daily
There is plenty of food, but the gov
ernment is controlling prices in order
to prevent speculation.
The refugees also stated that, owing
to the jeers of the army, the fleet was
forced to make its recent demonstra'
rion on June 23d in order to preserve
the morale of the garrison. 1t came
out of the harbor with total of thir'
ty-five ships. The Japanese made q
torpedo attack the same night.
Russian sailors say they are afraid
of the Japanese torpedo boats as they
always rush at full speed for the bat
tleships. Regardless of danger from
mines. when the torpedo boats came
nm. the Russian vessels retreated in
.Nle the harbor, tie Sevastapool
striking one of the Russian mines in
the dark However, it was only
slightly damaged. The refugees deny
tnat the Russians lost any cruisers.
They say, however. that the Japanese
lost two torpedo boats. This, however,
,s not to be credited. They stated that
they thought the fleet would make
great fight eventually. but that mean
time. while waiting for the arrival OF
Admiral Skrydloff, all the officers were
afraid to risk defeat without orders.
The captain of the Novik is an excep-
tion to this rule. He Is very brave,
going out repeatedly.
These refugees said that they
thought the fortress could be taken
from the land side only. The Japanese
are at present making an attack on
Wolf mountain.

Fight at Fen Shut Pass.

London, July IA dispatch to the
japanese legation from Toxic to-day
gave few details of the operations at
Fen Shut pass. 1t says the Russians
left ninety dead on the main road,
while the number left elsewhere is not
yet estimatable.
Six Russian officers and eighty-flve
