London. Dec. 9.-AcCording to the Morning Posts Shanghai dispatches, inc Japanese forces, with the exception of those manning the forts, have al- ready retreated to Laoti mountain. De tails continue to filter in of the cap t11re of 203 Meter Hill. The Daily Tel egraph's correspondent before Port Ar thur explains that the capture was due to the strong and sustained Japa- nese feint against the eastern fortifica- tions on the night of December 9. The position of the 2C3 Meter Hill being an enfilading one. the Russians were fore ed to evacuate without contest a parallel line of semi-permanent defenses ex- tending backward and irregularly over the slopes within d half mile. north of E,se mountain.
 The Japanese casualties at, 20S Meter Hill alone exceeded the total of the battle of Nanshan, according to the Daily Mails TCkio dispatches. At ? o'clock in the afternoon of Nov. 29, a TCmoyasu detachment. with a bat talion of infantry and a company of engineers. received orders that they must capture 203 Meter Hill, while a Yosid detachment of the same strength had similar Crders to capture Aka sal1a hill. On November 30 it became neces- sary to reinforce the attackers with a detachment under Major Shizuta During the operation the cold was SC intense that many of the men were frost bitten, as it was necessary to Tass the night without shelter.

4 HORRIBLE NARRATIVE.
It Describes Two Days Fighting at
 Pert Arthur

Headquarters of the Japanese third army before Port Ar,Aur, Nov. 2S, via Tien Tsin, Dec. 9.-rne general assault on Port Arthur which began at noon on November 26, is still in progress. In the first series of the assault this attempt was made to capture the forts on RihlUng and Ke+Swan mountains by Penetrz ting the principal line of forti- factions surrounding them and to en- velOp the city from the east. At the same time q strong force pushed up the gorge of SlIishi Valley between two fortified ridges and attacked the sup porting fort in the rear of west Rih- lung mountain, officially called Sung shu mountain. with the intention of en- vetoping the city from the west.
 The attempt failed after the most furious fighting that has been witness ed since Port Arthur was invested. The fighting lasted from noon of Nov. 26 until after dawn of the following day without cessation. The assault began early in the morning with tremendous bombardments of forts on the western half of the eastern fortified ridge by a battery which had been placed in posi- ton on the crest of the ridge to the rear. For hours the whole western half of the fortified ridge was deluged vita heavy shells. At noon the princi- pal line of fortifications was perfect hell of bursting shrapnel and the spec tacle was more wonderful than any thing previously seen.
 The front lines of infantry, having been strongly reinforced, began an attack simultaneously along the entire inc from tue east Kekwan mountain 10 the west of Rihlung mountain Through the haze caused by smoke and bursting shells the assaultcrs could be seen emerging from the cover of the parallels. s-- well as swarming up the fortified ridge at half dozen different points. Rifles, rapid fire guns and ma ! chine guns blazed from the Russian i positions where advances were made in
