Disabled Warships.

Vladivostok. Aug 23-The Gromo-
boi and the Rossia present a shattered
appearance. Their smokestacks show
great rents, while their masts, bridges
and ventilators look like sleeves. and
there are marks of battle everywhere.
Guns are dismantled, boats shattered
and there are enormous holes in the
cruisers hulls through which a man
could easily pass. Many Of the cabins
were completely wrecked.
Some Of the Japanese shells per-
formed queer actions. On the ROssia
a shell burst in clothes cupboard.
Garments therein were torn to shreds
but a mirror was not scratched. Pho
tographs and knicknacks on writing
table near by were not disturbed.
In another part of the cruiser the
walls were blackened by the smoke of
fierce fire in which eight men were
burned alive, yet an almanac on the
wall was not even scorched.
Aboard the Gromobo a shell entered
the wardrobe and wrecked the furni-
ture but a parrot cage was untouched.
All the officers are full of praise for
the GOODNESS and bravery of the men
who died in the battle without muir
muir. Comrades took their places with
out awaiting orders. 1t was deadly
work on the upper deck where the
gunners were without protection and
shells striking burst into a thousand
fragments, killing and wounding men
until the deck became veritable
shambles-strewn with dead and dy-
ing and slippery with blood. Not a
single gunner protected by classmates
lost his life The value of protective
armor was demonstrated whenever Il
shot struck the armor portion Of she

. Guns.=Aid of Chinese Enaineer


Lao Yang, Aug. 23.-The following
is supplied by a Russian correspond
ent of the Associated Press:
With each additional report from
Port Arthur wonder increases both at
the persistence of the japanese attack
and the heroic stubbornness of the de-
tenders of the fortress. The japanese
are literally throwing away thousands
of lives in the hope of shaking the
courage of the Russian troops.
Major General Fock says he is con-
fident the fortress cannot be taken, but
that if it is taken the whole Japanese
$ army will have to immediate itself on
the slopes of the Notifications.
There were five desperate assaults
on Green hills July Goth, the japanese
returning each time with apparently ir-
exhaustible reinforcements. On the
final assault, however, the japanese
broke badly, throwing away their guns,
cartridge belts and even their boots, to
facilitate their flight, and leaving 1000
dead or wounded.
Our surgeons worked herocally,
impartially aiding japanese and Rus
slams. The Japanese were SO touched
that they tearfully thanked the Rus
sian surgeons.
The assault on Green hills was re-
peated on July 9th, and there were
frequent hand-to-hand encounters. the

of surprising the Russians. Sixty
thousand men were hurled against 49,

was another Shipka pass.
The japanese poured in fresh bat
talions and the slopes, covered with
the dead and the dying, literally ran
with blood.
Our Thirteenth regiment was forced
from its position, but the Fourteenth

net again dislodged the victors.
