There were no positive military de-

The Japanese continued entrenching
in the early part of the week, and there
were constant outpost skirmishes. At
Port Arthur the Japanese made a
fierce attack on Etz mountain, but the
resistance was SO obstinate that it
could hardly be said that any sub.
stantial gain was made by the be-
siegers.
There was an engagement of some
severity on the Shakhe on Tuesday,
when the Russians opposed to the
army of General Oku took the aggres-

SLAMS were repulsed with considerable
loss. On Thursday the Japanese took
the offensive south Of the Hun river
and succeeded in capturing three vii

positions and recaptured the villages.
The loss was considerable on both
sides.

we at several places have been oblig-

sidered permanent, in view OF the
strong fortifications constructed. The
Japanese positions at several points
are only 500 PAGES distant from ours

by all competent persons to be skilful-

carefully thrown in front of the trench

great tension on both sides.
alarming news has been received
from Port Arthur. but the absence OF
reports during the last few days make
1t evident that the movement Of one
of the other Russian armies will be
