NEWS AS TOLD BY REFUGEES.

Ghefoe, Aug. 3, 6 p. m.-The
here from New Chwang, brings fur
ther details of the latest japanese as
saulS ON Port Arthur. When nearing
Chefoo, the, ,Wuchow picked up junk
carrying seven men, four men and
one boy who lefS Port Arthur yester-
day. they reported that the fighting
north of thesc city of Port Arthur oc-
Cured at Wolf Hill, and was sangui-
nary, resulting in the repu1ss Of the
,Japanese. This hill is situated near
the railroad and eight trains were
kept busy bringing the wounded sol
diers into the city. The wounded
men from the east forts reached Port
Arthur In ali kinds of vehicles,
many, however, coming afoot, drag
ging shattered limbs.
TIE Russians unite in declaring that
the fortress will never fall brt they
expect that scarcely a building viii be
left In the city where now there is
scarcely a whole plane OF glass. The
Wuchow confirms the statement that
the fighting abated during the night
of July 2S-but had not completely
sabsiaed when the refugees left.
The Russian feet from its anchor
age, shelled the advancing japanese,
after returning from what seems to
have been reconnoitering naanoeuyer.
The Chinese arriving here tonight say
that the Japanse captured two light
garrisoned forts on the east shore but
abandoned them when their comrades
were repulsed from other positions,
The Russians, however, insist that
this is untrue.
The japanese, while repulsed have
by no means been beaten, and a re-
newal of the fighting was expected
when the Junk departed yesterday
form Port Arthur.
The japanese are now occupying the
outpost trenches which they captured
from the Russians. Both the Japanese
and Russian fleets are reported to be
in excellent condition.
