China the Importance Of preserving the neu-
trality OF her territory. Great Britain has taken
no action N regard TO the Russian cruiser AS
kold and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi.
now at Shanghai The question Of the DISPOSE
ton Of these ships is looked upon peculiarly
an affair which concerns japan, Russia and
China. sympathy is felt for the efforts of ia
pan TO prevent the two vessels from again par
ticipating in the war. If Russia maintains her
purpose to dismantle them. it is expected that
japanese naval officers Will be permitted TO
examine the vessels and assure themselves that
they really disarmed and dismantled as
was done at Using Chau in the case of the Rus
sian battleship Czarevtch and the three tor
pedo boat destroyers there.
Information received by the officials here in
dicates that China is deeply concerned about
her position, and is earnestly urging the diplo-
matte representatives Of the powers at Picking
to induce their governments to give assistance
IN preserving the nvioIa bility of her waters and
territory outside the limits originally declared
to be the zone OF hostilities. The Japanese Lee
cation here says that, as China is too weak to
maintain her neutrality, it is essential for Japan
TO take measures for her own self protection
The legation does not see how the cases OF the
Askold and the Grozovoi can become a matter
for the attention of the powers. These vessels,
of China by remaining and reftting at Shang-
hal. and it is the duty of Admiral Togo TO deal
directly with them unless they are completely
disn1antled.
Berlin, Aug. 1S.-The Foreign Office taking
note Of the possible rupture between China and
Japan IN connection with the repairs to Russian
war vessels at Shanghai. expresses the view that
Japan may sent small warship into the harbor
to ascertain whether the disarmament OF the
Russian ships has occurred. The officials here
do not believe that the affair has reached
critical stage, or that serious situation will
result. The German view is that China should
take the same course toward the Russ vessels
at Shanghai as Germany did toward those which
sought refuge at Tsing-C Chan
Paris. Aug. 1S-The news that Japan has
corning the enforcement OF her neutrality in the
OF the protected cruiser AskoId and the
torpedo boat DESTROYER Grozovoi causes surprise
but alarm here, the impression prevailing
that China will be only too willing TO carry out
her neutrality obligations. especially when such
course favors Japan. Well informed circles
consider that ChIna's refusal TO comply with the
Japanese demand is most improbable unless
under strong pressure by foreign consuls but it
is not denied here that China's refusal followed
by violent action Japans part, would entail
serious complications.

RESULT AS YET UNKNOWN
FIERCE BATTLE SAID TO HAVE
OCCURRED AT PORT AR
THUR SUNDAY.

Chefoo, Oct. 31.-The general as
sault upon Port Arthur, which began
in a preliminary way on Oct. "a, devel-
oped into fercely raging battle Sun
day, when, according to an hitherto
infallible authority, the Japanese flung
heavy forces against the fortress in
their third attempt to secure com.
manding position. The result of Sun
days fighting is unknown.
This assault, like the previous one,
was a climactic incident of weary
weeks OF trench digging, gun mounting
and small engagements. In the opin-
ion of experts the assault will cease
when the japanese have secured such
positions as will enable them to creep
steadily closer under the noses of, the
Russian guns. It is believed that two
more general assaults will be neces-
sary before the distance between the
belligerenl lines is sufficiently short
ened to make an attempt to enter the
main forts and make the end Of the
siege practicable. ~ II

FIRED TO Save HIS FLEET
RUSSIAN ADMIRAL CLAIMS He
WAS ATTACKED BY TORPEDO
BOATS IN NORTH SEA.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 27.-Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's explanation of
the trav'ler incident is fully as sensa-
tional as the news of the firing upon
the fishing fleet which set all England
afiame. lie declares he was attacked
in the darkness by two torpedo boats
which came upon the squadron from
the direction of the fishing fleet. He
opened fire and believes he sank one
OF the torpedo boats, the other making
off for cover among the fishermen.
AS soon as he noticed the fishermen
Admiral Rojestvenshy ceased firing.
He proceeded on his way without leav-
ing any vessel behind and says he be-
lieves the vessel which the fishermen
reported remained on the scene for
six hours without Offering succor to
the drowning was the other torpedo
boat, either waiting for her consort or
repairing damages inflicted by the fire
OF his ships.
In concluding his telegram Admiral
Rojestvensky expressed in the most
warm hearted way the regrets of the
whole squadron to the fishermen who
had suffered and to the families Of the
victims.

DRIVEN ACROSS The STREAM
RUSSIANS LOSE ONLY POSITION
HELD BY THEM SOUTH OF
II" Shake RIVER.

General Kuroki's Headquarters in
the Field, via Fusan, Oct. 28.-The
Japanese gave a stirring exhibition OF
sharp and determined fighting Thurs
day. They drove the Russians from a
high hill ten miles east of the railroad
in General Kuroki's front, which is
important strategically as post OF
observation, and was the only point
south of the Shakhe river which the
Russians held. About regiment OF
Russians were entrenched there, with
five machine guns.
The Japanese rushed the Russian
trenches, shot many Russians as they
were running down the hillside and
captured two machine guns. The
Japanese had twenty men killed and
eighty wounded. The Russians left
thirty dead on the field. There was
hand-to-hand fighting when the trench.
es were taken. The Russians retired
across the river. When the Japanese
flag was raised over a tower surmount'
ing the hill the Russian batteries
showered shrapnel on it for an hour,
but without result.
