CLOSE TO PORT ARTHUR.
Division At TAKU-SHAN.
Flank M0Ue on Marine Camp-Ad-
Uance ON Ying-KO1u.

Chez Foo July IA trustworthy Chinaman
who arrived here to-day from point on the
east coast of Kwan-Tung, near Port Arthur
brings the information that on July one d.
vision of the japanese army reached the north-
east slope of Takushan Mountain, whose sum
NIT is about three and half miles from Port
Arthur.
This division parted from another division
of the army on the highway north of Port Ar
thur, after which it made it's way through
mountainous country. The other division con-
tnued along the main road toward the marine
camp. To reach the camp it will have to pass
over plain, but attacked by this division, in
conjunction with that Of Takushan Mountain
the marine camp will not be tenable.
Fort No. Ii, which is on the main line de-
fences surrounding Port Arthur. was taken by
the Japanese on July T..
Continuing the Chinaman reports that Rus
slams in Port Arthur say that last week three
regiments of Japanese troops were wiped out
just north of Port Arthur. A Russian regiment
which was out accommodating when driven back
by the three Japanese regiments, who were in
turn surrounded by two regiments of COssacks
and wiped out.
The Russians say also that in another engage
ment between outposts eight Japanese were
killed and seventy-two were taken prisoners
These reports lack confirmation. The Russian
troops at Port Arthur still believe that an army
is marching south to relieve them.
1t has been learned here that only one division
Of Japanese under General Oku occupied Kali
Ping. Another division of this army is march
ing along the Foo Chow Road, which turns to
the northwest at Kai-Ping and continues to
Ying-Kow. the port of New-Chwang. There
probably will be an encounter between this lat
ter division and Russian forces at ErhtauhO
This report was received from NewChwang.
third division of General Oku's army is
passing along the east side of the railroad tracks
and is acting in cooperation with the division
which is on the railroad.

CUTTING OFF FORTRESS.
Commanding Hills Held by Jap
anesc-RuSSian Losses Hcauy.

Che-Foo. July 7-Chinese who arrived here
last night from Port Arthur say the japanese
have established a complete Gordon around the
land side of the town, and that they are occu-
plying all the commanding hills, including Wolf
Mountain In a radius of miles of the for
tifications.
The Chinese repeat that two large warshps
missing from the squadron which went out
from Port Arthur on June %. and say that the
Russian battleship Seyastopol was damaged on
that day.
The Japanese bombarded Port Arthur from
the sea on June 80. but did no damage 10 the
town.
In the fighting which occurred July 1 for
the possession of one Of the hills northeast Of
Port Arthur the Russians lost. according TO
Chinese reports. hundred men killed and
fifty wounded Fifty Chinese We're sent out TO
bring in the Russian dead and wounded
The japanese, having occupied the second
range Of hills around Port Arthur. are now
massng men TO march upon the Russian ma
rine camp which commands the principal pass
through the hills, directly back of Port Arthur.
This camp is considered vita. To the safety OF
the fortress and Il is guarded. according TO the
Chinese by twenty thousand marines and sail
ors. In the Chinese japanese War the Japanese
occupied this camp for several days before they
took possession of Port Arthur.
The last junk to leave Port Arthur was tOwed
out OF the harbor and her passengers
compelled to remain below until she had cleared
the harbor entrance. This measure adopt
ed to prev ent the passengers from obtaining
knowledge Of conditions at the entrance TO the
harbor.
From a thoroughly trustworthy source II has
been learned that ammunition at Port Arthur
Is plentiful, and at the present rate of conSump-
ton 1t VIII probably last longer than the sup
ply Of food. There are provisions enough to last
year.
Chinese say the entrance TO the harSor to Port
Arthur is unsafe for the passage Of vessels. one
Russian warship slightly damaged while
going out recently by striking sunken wreck,
and two other warships were in collision IN the
entrance and had to undergo repairs.
