SHELLS FALL IN HARBOR.
Commander of Russian Vessel 1t Port
Arthur Killed.

Chefoo, Oct. 14.-Local Russians
confirm the report that the Russian
battleship Retvizan was recently hit
by a shell from one Of the big new
Japanese guns, but they claim that the
damage done was slight. Two sailors
were killed Another shell burst near
the Russian gunboat Gilisk, killing
her commander and injuring others.
The Russians admit that the new
Japanese guns seriously threaten the
harbor, docks, etc. They believe, how
ever, that the squadron at Port Arthur
will remain inside the harbor until the
arrival of the Baltic fleet.
