been issued to keep all colored bathcrs

while there were white people in the
water.
At police headquarters, where she
went TO investigate, she was told that
nothing to that effect has been ordered,

seven colored bathers was ordered from
the water between Young's and the

only bathers of that hue in sight.
With the coming of the Jim Crow

Fortress All But Takcn.

Chefoo. Aug. 24.-According to adj
vices brought here from Port Arthur
by junk, the Japanese are hotly
pressing the Russian center along the
railway. and the Russian right in the
vicinity of Golden Hill. These advices
are brought by Chinese who deported
from Tai-Pang-Tse, which is one mile
from the city, near Golden Hill, be-
tween the city and the forts of the
Russian right wing. The Chinese de-
clare that the Japanese occupied Tai
Pang-Tse and penetrated along the
railway to General Stoessers residence
on August 81.
A junk which left Liaoti promon-
tory on the night of August 81 has
Just arrived here. She reports that the
Japanese have succeeded in occupying
Antseshan forts, as well as another
fort, probably Etseshan, about a mile
southwest of Antseshan. They have
driven the Russians from the parade
grounds (Which lie about two miles
north of the harbor); they have de-
stroyed two forts at Chaochanllo,
which is within the eastern fortifica-
tons, and they have advanced TO a
point near Chaochanko This news
confirms information received here
previously and which the local Jap
anese were not inclined to believe.
The junk heard firing until midnight
OF August %. Scarcely a building in
Port Arthur remains unchanged. The
town hall, which was used as a maya
zine, has been destroyed.
Four large warships, unable to fight,
are at Port Arthur. Only one ship,
vessel with two masts and two fun
nels, has guns on board.
The fire of the forts not captured by
the Japanese, together with the effect
of land mines, is given as the reason
why the Japanese have not yet con-
quered the Russian stronghold.
AS this report would indicate that
Port Arthur had all but fallen.

RUSSIA LOSES ANOTHER CRUISER
Japs Forced Novik Ashore After Sc
we're Enaacement

Toxic, Aug. 22-After a severe en-
gagement with the protected cruisers
Chitose and Tsushima. the greyhounds
of the Japanese navy. the fleet Rus
sian cruiser Novik has been van
pushed. The fight occurred yesterday
After it the Novik. in a sinking condi-
ton, was run ashore in Korsakovsk
harbor, on the Island of Sakhalien.
The details of the fight are not yet
known here, but it is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught up with
the Novik Saturday, and that a running
fight ensued. The contest was resumed
and terminated yesterday morning.
Captain Sukeichiro Takahashi. who is
in command of the Chitose, reported
the engagement in a brief telegram to
the navy department He says he first
attacked the Russian cruiser Satur-
day afternoon, and that on Sunday
morning he inflicted heavy damage
upon her. The Novik nearly sank. but
she was beached at Korsakovsk. A
shell from the Novik struck the Tsu-
shima in bunker. Temporary re-
pairs, however. rendered the Japanese
cruiser seaworthy, and she continued
to fight The japanese suffered no
casualties.
The Novik was one Of the Russian
fleet that steamed out from Port Ar
thur on the morning of August 10 to
force its way through the Japanese
lines. She entered Tsingtau the night
OF August IL, but got away there the
night IF AuOuSt 10 having rop,oirod
less than "a hours. She was then err
roneously reported to have been sunk
40 miles from Tsingtau.
tKorsakovsk is a port on the south
ern coast of Sakhalien. off the coast
Of Siberia and about $50 miles north
east of Vladivostok.1
