SIEGE DRAWING TO 4 CLOSE
PRESENT JAPANESE ASSAULTS
LIKELY TO RESULT IN fall
OF PORT ARTHUR.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 3.-The official
reports from Toxic describing the des-
perate assaults on Port Arthur be-
ginning Oct. 26 have created visible
depression at the war Office. The sus-
tained character of the bonbardment
with siege guns and the preaching Of
the walls by underground mines, but
above al the fact that the Japanese
government after weeks Of silence re
garding the operations OF the besiegers
has given out these reports before
actual success has crowned their ef-
forts, convinces the military suthori-
ties that after long preparations Gen
eral .Nogi is not only making a su-
preme effort to carry the forts ess, bat
feels SO confident OF success the
result Of the preliminary operations
has been made public.
The war Office is trying to buoy up
the Russian hopes with reference to
the long and successful defense Gen
eral StOessel has thus far conducted,
but things have now reached such a
pass with the garrison and the char
acter of the present attempt upon the
fortress is evidently SO determined that
the authorities frankly admit they
would not be surprised if the end was
at hand

UNDERSTANDING is COMPLETE
Amicable Settlement of North Sea In
cident Assured.

St. Petersburg, Nov 3-The Asso-
ciated Press can authoritatively an
nounce that the basis for the British
Russian agreement to submit the
North sea incident to a commission
insures an amicable settlement with
out a sequel. The understanding is
complete.
In the heat of the excitement follow
ing the incident many false impress
sions obtained credence abroad Now
that the smoke has cleared away it is
possible to state that Great Britain
disclaimed any intention of trying to
detain the Russian squadron, which
could only be interpreted as a hostile
act. It was never intimated to Russia
that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's re-
call would be demanded and Great
Britain never asked Russia to pledge
herself to the punishment of any one.
The British government fully realized
that officers of the Russian squadron
may have acted with excess Of zeal.
The whole affair was a deplorable mis-
take, but as a result of the inquiry,
which will establish the facts, each
government is expected to take appro-
pirate action without demands from
either side and no pledges have been
requested or given by either country.

LONDON PRESS ANGRY.
AssaiIs the Government for Not AIIay
ing Fears of War.

London, Nov. 3.--Tuesday's attack of
nervousness due to misinformed state
ments in the London newspapers has
given way to extreme calm. The news
papers angrily assail the government
for leaving London to wrestle with it's
fears all day long when word would
have disposed Of all the alarms and
they suggested that if the admiralty
would request Vice Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford to refrain from sur
prise notifications" and other inter-
esting maneuvers during the next few
days it would not only add to the
tranquility of the country but would
smooth the way to a final settlement
of the dispute.
The days cabinet meeting excited
hardly the slightest interest on the
part Of the general public. For the
first time in many years the ministers
met at the premier's residence as Mr..
Balfour is suffering from the blocking
OF small superficial vein in his left
leg, requiring complete rest. All the
ministers were present, Foreign Secre-
tary LansdoWne coming In after hav-
ing interviews with Ambassadors
Ben]endorff and Cambon, who were
early visitors at Lansdowne house and
the foreign Office, respectively. The
two ambassadors had previously met
to discuss some points of detail in the

DESPERATE FIGHTING.

Toxic Reports Operations in Front of
Port Arthur.
Toxic, Nov. 3.-The official reports
of the Port Arthur operations since
Aug. form a recital of almost contin-
uous fighting of a desperate nature.
The Russians first struggled desper-
ately to block every Japanese advance
and then met the concentrated artil-
lery fire of the japanese with its kind.
Latterly since the Japanese began run
ming parallels and traverses and ex-
tending mines the Russians have been
constantly making sorties. They
rushed into the Japanese trenches and
engaged in ferocious struggles with the
engineers and pioneers. With desper,
ate courage the Japanese continued to
close in upon the fortress, progressing
stage by stage. The japanese infantry
never failed to respond when asked to
make an assault on almost impossible
positions and when the troops gained
foothold they generally held it with
unflinching determination
