FIGHT TO DEATH
AT PORT ARTHUR
Struggle Around Fortress
Reaches MerciIess Stage.
CONDITIONS ARE UNBEATABLE
WOUNDED LEFT TO DIE WITH
OUT CARE.

Chefoo, Sept. Is, Midnight.-Local
students of the military situation at
Port Arthur, basing their deductions
upon recent developments there, are
of the opinion that another grand as
sault is either occurring at the pres
ent time or is imminent. This opin-
ION is based on the very heavy bonn
bardment of the Russian stronghold
that occurred on Sept. 10, for such a
bombardment forms the usual pre-
Jude to an assault; on the arrival here
of important messengers from Port
Arthur at time when the running
of the blockade is extremely perilous;
on a recent authoritative statement
that the Japanese siege works are
completed, and on reports from Jap
anese sources that at Port Dalny an
assault was expected to take place
in a few days. These reports were re-
ceived last week.
In addition to the foregoing, there
Is the common knowledge that the
Japanese realize that their continued
inactivity increases the resisting
power of the Russian garrison and
their consequent desire to make such
period of inactivity as brief as pos
sible.
