JAPANESE COMMUNICATION CUT.
Port Arthur Assault
May Be in Progress

LONDON. May 25.-Although rumors
of a great battle persist. there is MOTH
ing TO be obtained that can be regarded
as confirming them. All the St Peters
burg special dispatches refer to these
rumors and say that il is the popular
belief that something sensational has
happened.
All alike are unable 10 trace the source
of the rumors. The current versions.
moreover. are so antithetical in regard
TO the locality and the losses as to
nullify one another.
News of Skirmishing.
SlSirmishes reported by General Kuro-
ld and General Kuropatkin made up
the total actual news. There is not a
word on which reliance can be placed
regarding what is happening at Port
Arthur and in that neighborhood, al
though there are plenty of stories from
outside sources.

respondent, who admits that i.e drew
his information from Russian and Chi
