patch received here from Port Arthur
says:
"At 1 o'clock yesterday morning G v
eral Japanese torpedo boats were sight.
ed from here with their sails set fol
the purpose of Disgusting their charac-
ter. The battleship Retvizan and the
shore batteries opened fire on them and
continued firing until daybreak with
out any visible result. After daybreak
Il Japanese squadron, apparently con
yoying transports, was sighted. At a
quarter past IL o'clock this squadron
came nearer, and an engagement, which
lasted forty minutes, ensued. There
was nc damage. Few shells fell in
Port Arthur.
ut is expected here that the Japanese
will attempt a landing soon.

were loaded with coal and kerosene
and that electrical internal machines
had been placed in the midst Of this
CARGO
The official report of Major General
Plug, chief of staff to Viceroy Alex
eief, giving details of the attack on
Port Arthur on the morning of Thurs
day, Feb. %, is as follows:
1.-The enemy's squadron of sixteen
warships approached. from the Dalny
side toward the harbor of Port Arthur
shortly after midnight on the 25th inst.
and at nee opened fire upon Il three
cruisers standing outside in the road
stead-namely, the Askold, Bayan and
Novik, and also against the land forts.
At the conclusion of the b~ombardment
u cruisers retired into the harbor.
The enemy bombarded the land bat
teries for some time. Then they re-
treated and remained out of range of
u guns.
"In the meanwhile four Japanese
cruisers separated from the enemy's
main squadron and went into Golu-
binsja bay, where they opened a heavy
fire upon one of u torpedo boats sta
toned in the bay and also upon the
coast batteries. Consequently the COM
mander of the fort sent troops to this
point. but no landing took place. The
bombardment there lasted twenty-five
minutes. at> the expiration Of which
time the Japanese cruisers retreated.
The loss on our side was one man
wounded in one of the land batteries.

CHEZ FOO, Nov. 5.-A junk Which
left Dalny on Nov. Sd and which ar
rived to-day brings further details of
+ the awful state of affairs at Port Ar
thur. One Of the passengers on the
junk says that the guns suddenly stop
ped firing at two o'clock on the
morning of November Sd, but resumed
their deadly work at daybreak when
the japanese rushed several trenches,
and took one Of the forts. 1t is noted,
he says, that the Russians are hus
banding their ammunition, and only
fire during actual assaults. He con-
tinues:
practically the whole Russian gar
rison is living under the ground in
caves, which are bomb-proof. When
the japanese secure any position,
they have to pull the defenders out
of their holes one by one, with con
sequent heavy loss to the japanese
"a big Cossaclz who was cornered
in a small bomb-proof cave which has
been captured, held out for two days,
accounting for twelve Japanese. AS it
was impossible to shoot him on ac-
count of the croolledness of the open
ing, finally he and the hole together
We're destroyed by dynamite,
This and similar incidents indi-
cate that even the possession Of the
commanding points will not give the
Japanese the fortress but they will
have to fight until the last inch of
ground has been occupied
