August 10th.
Berlin. Aug. ia dispatch to the
Lokal Anzieger from Toxic. dated to-
day. confirms the reports that heavy
fighting has occurred at Port Arthur
during the past few days. The Japa-
nese captured three Russian batteries
and secured positions close TO the
inner fortifications. Both sides lost
heavily. The Japanese have com
menced the bombardment from Lang
mountain on the harbor and inner de-
lenses.
The hauling down of the flags of the
Russian vessels at Kiao Chau took
place in accordance with instructions
of the German foreign office. which,
having ascertained that the damage
sustained by the warshjps we're too
serious for repairs to be made within
reasonable time, ordered the ships to
be disarmed They will be kept in
port until the closing of the war.
The crews OF the Russian vessels
have been ordered to be detained by
the German authorities at Kiao Chau
until the close of the war.
London. Aug. 16.@The Russian
cruiser Novik was sunk yesterday for
~ miles OF Kiao Chau. after leaving
the German port, and Admiral Togo
has torpedoed and sunk another cruis-
er of the Pallada type, but whose iden.
tity is unknown. The Japanese are re-
ported in hot pursuit of the other Rus

Production of Iron Ore.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The report of
John Birkinbine to the geological sur
vey on the production of iron ores in
1903 shows that the United States has
surpassed all competitors in its yearly
output of iron ores. 1t says that the
quantity of iron ore produced in the
United States in 1903 was 35.019, sos
long tons. a decrease OF 534,s27 long
tons from 1902.
The quantity mined in 1908. is. how
ever the second largest recorded and
is greater than the combined totals for
the year 1902 of Germany. Luxembourg
and the British empire. which are the
nearest competitors of the United.
States.
Nevada was added this year to the
list of producing states, while Yer
mont and Montana reported no ore
mined in 1908.
