Affairs in Port Arthur.

On Board the Daily News Dispatch
Boat Fawan, Che Foo, June 30.-Eight
European refugees who left Port Ar
thur in Chinese junk were picked
up yesterday morning by the Fawan.
There were five men, two women and
child in the party. They belonged to
the upper class. The information they
gave seems reliable. They stated that
the Russian fleet now consists of the
following ships in good condition: The
CZarevitch, Retvisan. Pobieda, Peres.
Wet, Poltava, Askold, Diana, Bayan,
Novik and twenty torpedo craft and
smaller boats. The torpedo transport
Amur is damaged and the battleship
Sevastapool slightly damaged, but
they can soon be repaired
There are 10000 sailors and 10000
soldiers in the fortress. Women are
largely employed as nurses. There
are $50 artisans and 1000 citizens.
These 1000 have now been drafted
into the army and are drilling daily.
There is plenty of food, but the gov.
ernment is controlling prices in order
to prevent speculation.
The refugees also stated that, owing
to the jeers of the army, the feet was
forced to make its recent demonstra.
tion on June 23d in order to preserve
the morale of the garrison. 1t came
out of the harbor with total of thir.
ty-five ships. The Japanese made e
torpedo attack the same night.
Russian sailors say they are afraid
of the Japanese torpedo boats as they
always rush at full speed for the bat
tleships. Regardless of danger from
mines, when the torpedo boats came
up, the Russian vessels retreated in.

that the Russians lost any cruisers.
They say, however, that the Japanese
lost two torpedo boats. This, however,
is not to be credited. They stated that
they thought the fleet would make a
great fight eventually, but that mean.

New Chwang. June 30.-The Russian
torpedo boat destroyer, Lieutenant
BuTukoff, arrived here from Port Ar

The officers of the Lieutenant Buru-

was exaggerated, and that the Russians

on the forts, have been replaced.
The Japanese. the correspondent
adds, occupied Wolf mountain, after
desperate fighting, in which Russian
regiment was almost annihilated.
The Toxic correspondent of the
Standard says that japanese officers
who were engaged in the last naval
fight at Port Arthur assert that they
saw women on board the Russian war
ships, and that this confirms the sus-
picion that the Russians We're attempt

no intention of fighting.

Vladivostok was the first Russian

Russians Expect a Battle.

st. Petersburg, July 1.-The whole
city is awaiting with breathless inter
est news from the opposing armies in
southern Manchuria, grappled in the
decisive battle of the campaign. But
those fully appreciating the almost i'm
passable country through which the
Japanese columns are advancing and
the difficulty of moving large bodies of
troops into position, hardly expect the
battle to begin in earnest inside of sew
eral days, although admitting that
heavy fighting between the advance
forces may now be in progress.
The papers, with the exception of
the army organ and the Novoe Vre-
mya, are unanimously of the opinion
that a pitched battle is now certain.
The former is silent on the subject,
which may be significant, especially
as General Kuropatkin's movements
are shrouded in mystery. The Novoe
Vremya says:
The time for strategy is passed. We
are now on the eve of tactics. Not
knowing the exact position of our
forces we cannot state what Kuropat-
kin intends to do.
ut is possible he may consider it
untimely and Improbable to enter
upon a decisive engagement Of all his
forces, in which event, while engaging
the enemy who is pouring troops
down upon him, he may retire north
ward to meet his reinforcements."
The tone in both public and official
circles has greatly improved. The re,
port that the Port Arthur squadron has
successfully put to sea, and that no
ship has been actually sunk, seems to
have removed the dependency and
developments on land and sea are
looked forward to with increased
cheorfulness Confidence Is manifest
ed liz the influence the navy will have
upo1 the campaign, and many people
are inclined to attribute the japanese
precipitancy to General Kuropatkin-
to the fact that the squadron at large
threatens the Japanese army's sea
communications.
