ST. SBURG-Negotiation

The Associated Press is informed
the present position is as follows:
The terms Of the draft of the treaty
of the legislation of the court are
under consideration by the emperor,
who may desire some notifications,
but these, If any, are not expected to
be of Importance. One of the plans
already agreed on is that Great Brit

that France and the United States
appoint high naval officer as a mem
Der of the court, which probably will
sit in Paris.
The four officers Of the Russian Bal

CITY WILL FALL
JAPANESE HAVE PORT ARTHUR
AT THEIR MERCY.
POSITIONS COMMAND TOWN
Mikado's Men Can Drive Russians
from Main Forts at Their Pleasure
-Japanese Losses in Last Assault
on Port Arthur.

CHE FOO-Port Arthur Is doomed
The correspondent of the Associated
Press here has received information
the reliability of which is beyond
question, that the Japanese now oc-
cupy positions which place the east
side of the town at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for
them positions which insure their
ability to capture the main east forts
whenever they are ready. 1t is cal
cuated by the Japanese that If the
Russians do not surrender the former
will be capable of prolonging their
final stand at Liaoti mountain on the
Tigers Tail for much longer time,
with the mere hope of prolonging the
struggle. Long before the second Pa
chic squadron arrives the Japanese
flag will wave over the wrecked cita-
del. This will end Viceroy Alexieff's
dream of an unconquerable city.
The Japanese have not occupied the
main forts and highest points Of the
hills, but they occupy in overwhelm-
ing numbers positions which will en-
able them to drive the Russians back
whenever they desire.
When the Japanese occupy the east
fort ridge they will completely domi-
their artillery.
LONDON-The Daily Telegraphs
Che Foo correspondent, telegraphing
Thursday, says that the Japanese
losses during the last assault on Port
Arthur were heavier than on any of
the previous attacks. The lombard
ment, he says, was so fierce that the
streets Of Dalny were said to trem-
, BILE, as though from an earthquake.
The same papers correspondent
vember 2, says that the Indications
are that a terrific engagement is
about to commence.
CHE FOO-The Japanese are now
in a position to commence the begin
ming Of the end of the operations to
capture the eastern fortified ridges.
! Their siege park has been completed
by the placing of 11-inch howitzers.
During the night of October 20 all
the reserves advanced through net
work of trenches in front of the east
ern fortified ridges from south of
Keekwan to west of Keekwan and to
the west of Rihlung mountain, called

GLOOM IN RUSSIA
FEAR EXPRESSED FOR THE
SAFETY OF PORT ARTHUR.
DISPERSION IN THE WAR OFFICE
General Nogu Making Supreme Ef-
fort to Capture the Fortress-Feels
Confident That Success Will Soon
Attend His Efforts.

ST. PETERSBURG-Th Is con-
siderable anxiety here over the mill
tary situation. No late news has been
received from Mukden, General SAX
haroff's report of November l merely
indicating that matters were at
deadlock around Shakhe. The Jap
anese have made some tentative
moves on both TANKS, which were
checked, but there are no signs yet
of general advance by their army.
Foreign reports from Port Arthur
are decidedly gloomy, while the au.
thorities continue to profess confid-
ence In General Stoessels ability to
hold out, the popular feeling is that
the heroic garrison, which already
has made a historic defense, must
now be near the limit of human en-
durance.
The official reports from Toxic de-
scribing the desperate assaults on
Port Arthur, beginning October &c,
have created visible depression at the
war Office. The sustained character of
the bombardment with siege guns and
the preaching of the walls by under
ground mines, but above all the fact
that the Japanese government after
weeks OF silence regarding the oper-
atoms Of the besiegers have given out
these reports before actual success
has crowned their efforts, convinces
the military authorities that after
! long preparations General Nogi is not
| only making a supreme effort to carry
| the fortress, but feels so confident Of
| success that the result Of the prelim-
mary operations has been made pub
lie. They believe the assault was
| timed for the announcement of the
fall of the fortress to be made upon
| the birthday of the millado tomorrow,
| which, by strange coincidence, is the
! tenth anniversary of the accession OF
| Emperor Nicholas and a great Rus
| sian holiday. Tomorrow, therefore, is
expected to be marked by fate for a
| day Of immense rejoicing either for
Japan or Russia, according as the
! present assault succeeds or fails. The
| war office is trying to buoy up the
Russian hopes with references to the
| long and successful defense Lieuten-
ant General Stoessel has thus far con-
Quoted, but things have now reached
such pass with the garrison and the
character 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. In the face of the gloomy
reports direct from Toxic the Invalid
Russ, the army organ, today an
nounces that the storming operations
ended with a repulse Of the Japanese
on Monday, but the paper fails to give
it's authority for this important state
ment. No official report warranting it
has been received by the war office.

BEGIN AN ATTACK.
Furious Assault on Port Arthur outer
Defenses.


CHE FOO-The general assault
upon Port Arthur, which began in a
preliminary way October "a, develop.
ed into a fiercely raging battle Mon
day, when, according to hitherto in
fallible authority, the Japanese flung
heavy forces against the fortress in
their third attempt to secure a com
handing position.
The Japanese have been preparing
for this assault for a month. 1t is be-
leved that the Japanese did not ex-
pect to capture the town on this occa-
sion. but to accomplish another i'm
portant forward step. This plan was
adopted following the first assault,
when thousands of lives we're sacri-
feed in an attempt to swarm over
the Notifications by a mere force of
number, regardless of loss.
This assault, like the previous one,
was climatic incident of weary
weeks of trench digging, gun mount
ing and small engagements. In the
opinion of experts the assault will
cease when the Japanese have Sc
cured such position as will enable
them to creep steadily closer under
the noses of the Russian guns. 1t is
believed that two more general as
saults will be necessary before the
distance between the belligerent lines
is sufficiently shortened to make an
attempt to enter the main forts and
make the end of the siege practicable.
A steamer which has just arrived
here from New Chwang reports hav-
ing heard heavy firing at Port Arthur
Monday night and Tuesday until it
was out of earshot, indicating con-
tinuance of the battle which began
October "a in a preliminary manner
and developed Monday into the third
attempt of the Japanese to secure a
commanding position.
The Japanese opened fire with their
artillery along the whole line, Incl
dentally continuing their daily prac-
tice Of dropping shells into the har-
Dor. The Russians replied. the
sounds, as of distant thunder, telling
the inhabitants of Port Dalny that
the long expected assault on the for
tress was imminent. The lombard
ment continued furiously until the
afternoon of October 26. when the

BATTLE MAY BE DEFERRED.
There May Be No More Fighting This
Year.


ST. PETERSBURG-The expecta-
ton of serious developments at the
theater of war has again failed of
realization. Today's official dispatches
record nothing more serious than the
usual skirmishes. The strategists at
the war office are generally inclined to
believe that the expected great battle
may be deferred and possibly may not
occur this year, though the Japanese
may make desperate attempt to
flank General kuropatkin and compel
him to surrender Mukden. II Gener-
al Kuropatkin is convinced that the
Japanese are now numerically super
ior, he may decide to draw off, as it
would obviously be Improbable to
risk a general engagement until the
vast armies to be placed under his
command can reach Manchuria. What
ever happens it is not likely that the
Japanese can take Kuropatkin un-
awares. Repeated "Reminiscences be-
yond the Japanese lines betray the
strength and purposes of Field Mar
shall Oyama's movements. II the Jap
anese really intend to advance it is
likely they will do so Immediately
and not await the arrival of the eight
Russian corps the first installment of
which is already at Mukden.
