Outpost skirmishes at Port Arthur

naped five Japanese sentinels. Later
they inadvertedly ran into some wires
hung with bells which the Japanese
had strung up in order to sound an
alarm. When the bells began ringing
the Russians charged forward, firing
the while. A Japanese detachment in
trench returned the FIRE wildly for a
moment, and then retreated. The Rus
SLAMS gained the trench and found 46
Japanese dead there.
Two junks arrived here today from
Port Arthur. One contained villagers
from Polantsu, which has been des.
tfoyed, and the other brought 1877
Chinese deported by the Russian au-
thorities. They reported that Junk,
carrying three Russian officers, had
been captured by the Japanese and tax
en- into Port Dalny.
The villagers of Polantsu complain
that it is the practice of the Russians
to commander everything obtainable
in the way OF eatables. They say the
soldiers often entered their houses and
took meats which had just been cut Tor
themselves.
1t is reported that the Russian are
having difficulty with the powder they
manufacture at Port Arthur. A shell

to carry the proper distance and

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE correspondent
Of the Echo de Paris at St. Petersburg
has telegraphed his paper as follows:
"The ministry Of marine tells us re-
garding the arrival OF the Russian
transport Lena at San FIancisco, that
another vessel, the Korea, is also due
at an American port on the Pacific.
Orders have been sent to the Russian
ships to conform scrupulously with the
American neutrality rules, which are
expected to permit them taking on
enough coal to reach Vladivostok. I
consider the situation very delicate, as
there is evidence that the ships were
destined to prevent the transport of
Contraband goods from the United
States to Japan, and perhaps capture
vessels carrying Contraband.
