CONSUL GENERAL GOODNOW.
nese infantry were held in check until
long after daybreak by the Russian
fire, which was better directed than at
any other time in the past week. bur
they gained ground early in the fore
noon and before the middle OF the aft
ernoon held an appreciable advantage.
General Stoessers troops were dis
couraged when the last Of the refugees
left Port Arthur, and the uneasiness Of
the noncOmbatants compelled to re-
main inside the lines now and then APP
preached panic.
The Japanese are reported closer to
the inner fortifcations at all points
than before Although their gains Of
ground in smany places are slight, the
simultaneous advance all along the line
has apparently encouraged the besieg
ing army to fresh activity.
It is believed the opposing forces
now are engaged I'm the struggle tina
will end only with the fall of the for
tress. General StoesseIs position ha
grown weaker almost daily. and il re

A DESPERATE STRUGGLE,
Japanese Have Made Repeated AS
saults on Fortress, With Great Loss.

Japanese Have Made Repeated AS
saults on Fortress, With Great Loss.
I.iaoyang, Aug. 23.-The following by
a Russian correspondent gives some
idea of the terrible lighting before Port
Arthur:
with each additional report from
Port Arthur wonder increases both at
the persistence of the Japanese attack
and the heroic stubbornness of the de-
tenders of the fortress. The Japanese
are literally throwing away thousands
Of lives in the hope of shaking the
courage of the Russian troops.
Major General Fock says he is con-
fident the fortress cannot be taken, but
that If it is taken the whole japanese
army will have to immediate itself on
the slopes of the Notifications.
There were five desperate assaults
on Green hills on July 20. the japanese
returning each time with apparently
inexhaustible re-enfOrcements. On the
final assault, however, the japanese
broke badly, throwing away their
guns cartridge belts and even their
boots TO facilitate their flight, and leav-
ing 1000 dead or wounded
"Our surgeons worked heroically, i'm
partially aiding Japanese and Russians
The japanese We're so touched that
they tearfully thanked the Russian
surgeons.
THE assault on Green hills was re-
peated on July %, and there were fire.
quent hand to hand encounters. the
Russians leaving the trenches to fol
low their enemies.
"The assaults of July 2S and % or
the Wolf hills were not followed up
the japanese being too severely
shaken. We evacuated the Wolf hills
chiefly for strategic reasons, as the
| hills made the line of defenses too Ions
to effectually withstand the furious at
tacks of the Japanese.
THE assault of July 80 was made II
the dark Of night in the hope of sur
prsing the Russians. Sixty thousand
men were hurled against our 10000
but we drove them back again anC
again at the point of the bayOnet 1

"The Japanese poured in fresh bat
talions, and the slopes, covered will
the dead and dying, literally ran witt

y "Our Thirteenth regiment was force'
from its position, but the Fourteenth
regiment came up and with the bayo
net again dislodged the victors.
"As near as can be ascertained thi
assault cost the Japanese 10000.
The japanese losses since the sieg
began have been $4,000 men. The eN
