Desperate Efforts to Capt
ure Fortress Ceased on
Thursday-The Losses
Were Enormous
Took Fort No.
3 But Were Unable to
Hold It-Stoessel Sa US
He Can Die Fighting

.---., ..vs. .. information has
been brought by Chinese that the six
days of bombardment and desperate
efforts on the part Of the besiegers to
take the fortress at Port Arthur
ceased Thursday, November 3. The
Japanese took fort No. 3. but we're
unable to hold It, Tho Japanese losses
are reported TO be enormous.
Chinese who left Port Dalny Thurs
day evening report that patches of
wounded were passing through Dalny.
They report also that during the re-
cent battle fresh Japanese troops were
constantly going to the front
II is reported that the Japanese
killed or wounded in front of Port
Arthur during the last three months
approgimates 10000.
There are persistent rumors that
the Japanese have occupied the forts
of Rihlung Mountain and certain forts
of the Keekwan Mountain group, but
we'll informed Japanese here consider
these rumors as premature. The Japa-
nese. however are confident that the
end OF the Russian occupation OF Port
Arthur is fast approaching. They ad-
NIT that they have been disappointed
heretofore. but say that their previous
hopes never had such a fact-based
foundation as those they at present en-
tertain.
The fact that General Nogi. COM
mander of the third Japanese army
before Port Arthur. has allowed the
Associated Press dispatches to leave
the front of the base of his operations
is looked upon as strongly indicating
the confident spirit of the besiegers.
Further tidings of events at Port
Arthur are awaited here with an in
tensity Of interest greater than any
displayed since the beginning of the
war.

cans and Weiaht Question.

New York. Nov. 5.--There is consider
able speculation among sporting men
in regard to the weight conditions to-
govern the proposed bout I'm Baltimore
between Jimmy" Britt and Joe" Cans.
Many incline to the belief that "Al'
Herford, Cans manager, although
quoted as favoring a match at lS4
pounds, will insist, on 1856 pounds as
the weight limit when articles Of agree
ment are signed.
In support of this opinion they point
to the fact that Cans has fought his
best ring battles at 1856 pounds. That
the colored lad cannot do himself JUS
tice at lower weight, puglist experts
say. was demonstrated i'm Cans recent
battle with Britt The lightweight
champion himself has admitted since
that battle that he was so weakened by
reducing that he had no strength after
the second round.
The concensus of opinion among
sporting men is that Britt is unques-
tionably the better man at l3l pounds,
but whether he will be able to show su-
periority over the champion at 1856
pounds remains to be seen. A difference
Of one pound. it is believed. would not
help Cans. but three pounds would be
of much help TO him.
