LONDON, May 11.-A Tokyo dis patch says that a high angle lombard ment of Port Arthur by the fleet under Admiral Togo proceeded for several hours yesterday.
 4 Shanhaikwan report says the Jap anese First army, vigorously following up it's victory at the Yalu, is already threatening the Russian position at Haicheng.
 The Second army has pushed quickly forward and helped to defeat the Rus sians near Wafungtien yesterday.
 The Japanese artillery was splendid ly handled. The Japanese dragged their guns up heights the Russians thought linsurmountable.
 After the fight the Russians resumed their retreat north.
 A St Petersburg report says railroad and tclegraphic communication with Port Arthur has been established. Two trains have come through to Muk- den from Port Arthur.
 The most important official news from the front for long period is that telling of the complete reestablish- ment of railroad and telegraphic com munication with Port Arthur, though how it was brought about and whether a battle was necessary to accomplish it are mysteries which Viceroy Alexeieff failed to clear up.
 The elation of the authorities, a nat ural consequence of this achievement, is sobered by official dispatches show ing the activity of the Japanese.
 The territory between the main road to Tengwangcheng and the river Ia yang has been penetrated by such q strong force of Japanese as to lead to the suggestion that another army has landed at Takushan, of which the out side world has not before heard.
 According to information received by the general staff the bridge blown up by the Japanese near Port Adams has been repaired, and the permanent way is uninjured.
 E It Is reported that Lieutenant Gener- al Stoessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur has successfully engaged and driven off the enemy. The general staff explains the withdrawal of the Japanese from the railroad as being either due to pressure from Gen GI1l 0SOcSDSA O1 IO lAC AOANC@ ACLk OJ General Kuropatkin at Kaiping and other points on the railroad.
 The strength of the Japanese force landed at Pitsewo, it seems, was over estimated, and either it was not strong enough to take charge of the railroad or it moved eastward along the littoral to effect a junction with the Yalu army.
 A steamship that has arrived at Che mulpo reports seeing twenty four Jap anese transports loaded with soldiers of that port, which is about eighty miles south of the mouth of the Yalu. The troops were not going to disem- bark at Chemulpo, but were bound for some other point. The steamship also passed four other transports off the western coast of Korea. e1 Persons who have arrived at Chefu from Newchwang say that the Rus sians probably evacuated the place Monday night. Many of the inhabit- ants had already departed, and those who remained intended to go. The forts were inactive, though guns were still left mounted in them
 Three thousand bandits were camped outside the city walls, ready to begin footing as soon as the soldiers had gone. There were also many foreign camp followers waiting for the evacua- ton of the town
