LAST ATTACK ONP)RIhRTHUR
FORCED BACK IN FIRST
ATrEMP At FORTRESS.
areat Disappointment to Japanese
oensraIs-eand Of Specially Trained
Swordsmen Made Vicious Attack in
Hand to Hand Fight-Fiercest since
Beginning Of Siege.

Toxic, Nov. 29-Oflcial advices
received at the war Office from
Japanese headquarters at Port Arthur
state that the general attack upon the
fortress which began in the afternoon
of November 26 is still in progress.
That day was one of disappointment to
the Japanese. Generals Nakamura and
Saito, leading specially trained bands
Of swordsmen, charged into the forts
utterly regardless Of the whitening fire
directed at them. Many of the attack
ers were shot in their tracks, but the
others continued the wild rush over
the bodies Of the dead and wounded
and finally reached the parapets.
The attack was directed mainly
against the Sungshushan and Ehrlung-
shan Notifications and the northern
forts of east Kekwanshan. Simultane.
ously other Japanese detachments
brought mountain and field guns with
in range of the points Of attack.
While the swordsmen escalded the
parapets and hurled themselves
against the defenders, the guns shelled
the breastworks with awful results.
Dead and wounded rolled down the in
clined approaches. Soon the attack,
which was meant to be an onslaught
of such overwhelming force that it
would sweep the parapets clear of their
defenders, developed into a hand to
hand fight of such fury and fierceness
as eclipsed any that has occurred since
the beginning the siege.
The valor Of the defenders might
we'll be termed unparalleled. In the
face of the well aimed slashes of de-
termined swordsmen and the havoc
wrought by the Japanese soldiers, they
gradually drove back the attackers.
Hundreds fell, killed or disabled. Rifles
were thrown away and swords took
their place, and after while even
these weapons became useless, so close
was the fight.
AS the evening progressed it de-
veloped into fights Of man against man,
hundreds of them locked in the dead
y embrace at one time, the Russians
endeavoring to drag their antagonists
over the edge of the breastworks, the
Japanese straining every muscle to
hurl themselves, with their victims,
down the inclines leading to the jap
anese approaches. When this state
had been reached the Japanese guns
became useless. A single shell would
have killed as many friends as foes.
Then the fight began to grow uneven
and the order was given to retire. The
losses on either side may not yet be
estimated.

NIGHT OF AGONY ON PIXIES PEAK
Girl Badly Burned and Unable to Sc
cure Help.

Denver, Nov. ga News special
from Colorado Springs, COL, says that
a party of three young people from Chi
cago became lost on Pixies peak and
were compelled to spend the night ex-
posed to the rigors of mountain wea-

In addition to this one of the party,
Miss Maude Arnold. the II year old
daughter Of B. J. Arnold, a wealthy
manufacturer of Chicago, was severely
burned by the explosion of a celluloid
comb which she wore in her hair.
The party took refuge in q cleft of
rocks, and while asleep near a camp
Are the comb became heated and ex.
ploded. The young lady's hair and
clothing caught fire and she was i'm.
mediately enveloped in flames. The
young men, with their coats, smothered
the flames, but not until Miss Arnold g

leaving her to suffer pain the rest OF
the night.
When daybreak came the trio pick.
ed their way from Cameron's cone,
where they spent the night, to the half.

into Manitou.
The sight they presented on their
arrival was evidence of the hardships
they had endured.
