 T am happy to inform your majesty that on November 20, after an increased bombardment, the Japanese attacked one of the forts on the northeastern front and leaped with portion of their forces on the parapet. They were an initiated by rifle fire and the bayonet and thrown back into the trenches. Their reserves were scattered by shrap- mel.
 From November 21 to November 23, the enemy violently bombarded the forts and in spite of great losses, effect ed by their perseverance, a passage between two forts on the northeastern front.
 At 5:30 o'clock in the evening of No vember 23, after heaving firing, the Japanese suddenly hurled themselves against several works on this front and seized portion of the trenches, but they were thrown back by the reserves after fierce bayonet struggle. They returned to the assault at midnight and fagain occupied part of the trenches, but were annihilated by our bayonets. At 2 o'clock in the morning all was over and your nlajesty's heroic troops were able to rest and to start repairing the damage done by the bombardment.
 From the 20th to the 24th, the Jap- anese lost moro than 1000 men. All of our troops behaved as heroes. The fol- lowing especially distinguished them selves:
 Generals Krondatenko, Nikitin (com- mander of the artillery, and Gorbatow- sky. and Lieutenant Colonel Naeumen- ko Ca dozen other officers in lower grades are also mentioned in the dis patch)
 bor continues daily. A number of build- ings have been destroyed and the har-. bor has sustained some damage. The garrisons are in excellent spirits In another dispatch, dated November 2S, General Stoessel says:
 "The 26th and the 27th were the bloodiest days in the assault of Port Arthur. The attacks began on the night of the 18th against our left flank near Pigeon bay. The first was repulsed with great loss to the Japanese. The same night the enemy attacked detachment on Panlung mountain, but were repuls- ed, as also was their attack on Visokaia (203- -Metre) hill.
 ''On the 18th the Japanese began to bombard and attack fiercely the forts on the northeastern front and the ad- vanced trenches. The trenches repeat edly changed hands, Nevertheless on the night of the 18th we threw back the Japanese at the point of the bayonet. The enemy succeeded in blowing up the parapet of. one of the forts and began building parallels there. At another fort, on the same night, they laid sacks along the rampant, but our artillery dispersed them. Towards 10 o'clock that evening the Japanese attacked a bat tery on our left flank in considerable strength and at first obtained possess sion of portion of the works; but our heroes brought bayonets into use and the Japanese retired, leaving heap of their men, Along the whole front the Japanese reopened a violent fire against
