RUSSIANS HOLD THREE FORTS.
All the other Defences Of Port Arthur Now
In Japanese Hands.


Special Cable Dispatches to TIE SUN.
CHEFoo, Sept. 20.-A highly important
communication has been received by
Russian resident, stating that the Japanese
possess all the principal Notifications at
Port Arthur, except those at Golden Hill,
Kikwanshan and Liaetishan, which the
Russians still hold.
The approach to the west port II still
open, but the movements Of the Japanese
are slow and cautious owing to the ground
being extensively mined. Golden Hill is
being bombarded at a range Of two miles
and half by guns mounted on the Kusassi
Flats. Liaotishan is being bombarded at
a range Of mile and a half.
The end cannot be much longer delayed,
although the Japanese are suffering greatly
from fatigue The most experienced vet
Grams are being employed in the desperate
assaults Their bravery and patriotic ardor
is wonderful The Japanese guns now
search every point in Port Arthur and are
causing universal havoc.
The water condensing apparatus on
Golden Hill has been destroyed by shell
Are. The Japanese hold the reservoir.
The feet remains in the harbor.
Later information from the same source
ia that the Japanese have made some prog
ress, but there is no definite information
Of their advance.
LONDON, Sept. 3O.-The Shanghai cor
respondent OF the Telegraph quotes Jap
anese officer as saying that the killed and
wounded at Port Arthur considerably ex-
coed 10000. The military authorities are
Of the opinion that 1t would be useless to
throw away more lives In assaulting the
fortress, and that it would be better to in
stitute a regular siege.
The Japanese arsenals are working night
and day turning out twelve-inch howitzers
and larger guns. Some batteries Of twelve
inch guns have recently reached the be-
siegers.
All the news purporting to come from
Port Arthur is Enthusiastically. It Is need
less to call attention to this fact regarding
the reports received from Chefoo and other
Chinese points, and it may be pointed out
that the Paris stories protesting to be
teleeraphed from st. Petersburg are
directly contradictory.
It Is extremely doubtful that the Car.
as alleged, has received anything from
Gen. Stoessel. the commander at Port
Arthur, in many days. or that bona fde
news has left the fortress In any direction.
The besiegers keep absolute silence.
