ARTHUR
COMMANDMENT
IS WOUNDED
Enormous Losses Of
the BeSiegerS
in Attack.

ST PETERSBURG, Nov. 4. 1:25 a. m.
There is a scarcely yelled feeling of re-
lief throughout the city that the day
has passed without bringing news of
the fall of Port Arthur. There had been
deep fear that the Japanese might
push home the final attack to-day. 1t
is now felt that there may come an
other period of respite. The authori-
ties state that they are without direct
news from Port Arthur and every one
is depending upon foreign sources for
tidings of the devoted garrison.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Chefu correspondent. tele-
graphing on Thursday, says that the
Japanese losses during the last assault
upon Port Arthur were heavier than
on any of the previous attacks. The
bonn mbardment was so fierce, he says.
that the streets of Dalny trembled as
though an earthquake shock had oc-
CURED.
The same papers correspondent with
General Oku, under date of November
2, says that the indications are that a
terrific engagement is about to COM
mence.
A dispatch to a news agency from st.
Petersburg says Lieutenant General
Stoessel, commander of the Russian
troops at Port Arthur. is reported to be
wounded in the leg.
CHEFU, Nov. 3.-The Japanese now
occupy positions which place the east
side of Port Arthur at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for them
positions which insure their ability to
enter the main east forts whenever
they are ready.
1t is calculated by the Japanese that
the Russians, if they do not surrender.
will be capable of prolonging their
final stand at Liaoti Mountain and on
the Tigers Tail for a month longer.
but long before the second Pacific
squadron shall arrive the japanese flag
will wave over the wrecked citadel.
The Japanese have not occupied the
main forts and highest points of the
east hills, but they occupy in over
whelming numbers positions which will
enable them to drive the Russians back
whenever they desire. When the JAP
nese occupy the eastern ridge of forts
they will completely dominate the other
Russian forts with their artillery.

JAPAN'S NAVY
LOSES A FINE
BATTLESHIP
Sinking Of the va
Shima Is at Last
Admitted.

PARIS. Nov. 3.-The Associated
Press is enabled to state positively
that its dispatches from Chefu. Port
Arthur and Toxic last June, to the ef-
feet that the japanese battleship va
shima had been sunk by a mine of
Dalny. which dispatches were denied
by the Japanese authorities at the
time, have finally been officially con-
frmed- The Japanese Government
has notified foreign governments of
the loss of the ship. The number of
men who went down with the vessel
is not known, but it is believed to
have been small. The official details
show that the Yashima struck a Rus
sian mine and later attempted to
impossible and she sank in deep wa
ter.
The loss of the Yashima has been
concealed by the Japanese, though
the Russian authorities have believed
for some time that the reports that
the battleship had been destroyed
were correct. 1t is important, since
it is now disclosed that Japan has
only four modern battleships remain
ing. These are the ASashi, Fuji, Mix
asa and Shikishima. Another vessel
classed as a battleship is the Chinyen,
taken from China in 1894, but she is
old and not of much fighting value.
Naval experts say the small battle
ship force possessed by Admiral Togo
was responsible for the tactics he OBJ
served at the naval battle of August
10, when Admiral Withoeft attempted
to escape from Port Arthur, the Jap
anese battleships refusing to come TO
close quarters with the enemy, but
pounding them from a distance and
sending in the torpedo-boat destroy
ers to make night attacks.
The Yashima was one of the finest
battleships of the Japanese navy. Her
displacement was 1890 tons, about
the size of the American battleship
Maine, and she had a speed of nine-
teen knots. She carried a heavy bat
terry of four twelve-inch, ten six-inch
and twenty-four other guns of smaller
caliber.
The Russian squadron at Port Ar
thur includes five modern battleships.
