JAPANESE LOSSES
Subject Leaders to Severe Crit.
cism at Toxic.
Russians Sending Their Best
General To The
Front.

A rumor coming from Chinese
sources to the effect that the Jap
anese have captured one Of the In
uer forts at Port Arthur, losing
l, 900 men in the engagement, is be-
ing circulated at Che Foo. It is
without confirmation. 1t is stated
at St. Petersburg that Gen. Kur-
opatkin has taken personal di'
rection of war operations, and the
Russians are expecting better re-
ports from the field in consequence.
A dispatch from Toxic says the
Vladivostok squadron destroyed
FIVE Japanese transports on its re-
cent raid. There is much dissatis-
faction in consequence, and Ad-
mlral Kamlmura is being violently
criticised for his failure to engage
the Russian squadron in battle,
Some of Kamimura's critics are as
sorting that if he fails to fight the
Russian vessels be should either
resign or commit suicide.
