From the Seat of War.

The japanese keep pegging away at
Port Arthur, with the evident determi-
nation of slowly but surely destroying
the remains of the Russian warships
bottled up there, and also putting the
forts out of business. Early yesterday
morning there was an interchange OF
shots between torpedo boats outside, and
later the japanese feet of IA warships
renewed the bombardment for the fifth
time. and fred shells at the forts and
over into the town. The forts replied
to the japanese fire. The night was
very dark, and furious gale set In be-
fore the japanese ships withdrew.
The Russian reports from Port Arthur,
of course, minimize the effect OF the
bombardment but it is believed in naval
circles in London that the garrison and
the forts, as well as the imprisoned Rus
sian warships, have suffered from the
Japanese fire. The japanese gunners
have now got a perfect range upon
the place, and their fire must be eifec-
tive.
The official report of the japanese
vice admiral commanding the squad
ron that attacked Vladivostok in
dicates that the Russian squadron,
or a part of it, is still in the
inner harbor of that place. Careful
reconnoitering by the japanese failure to
locate the Russian ships, although the
vice admiral states that whatappeared to
he smoke from the Russian ships in the
harbor was seen.
A dispatch from Toxic states that Rus
sian and japanese mounted scouts met
north of Pingyang Wednesday. After
brief engagement the Russians reireated'
No casualties are reported on either
side.
Advices from st. Petersburg state that
reports that the japanese have entered
Manchuria west of the Yalu river and
have reached Feng Huan Cheng, on the
Peking road, which is the Russians line
of communication to the Yalu, cannot
be confirmed
If the information proves true, land
engagement of some magnitude cannot
long be delayed, as the Russians have a
heavy force south of the line, between
Liaoyang and Mukden, and they are also
occupying strong positions along the
Yalu.
A japanese column between them
would be in desperate strait, unless 1t
moved by the flank to take the Russians
on the Yalu in the rear and was ener-
getically supported by forward Japan
ese movement from Korea.
According to Tien-tsin correspondent
of the London Standard, the Russians
are Withdrawing ali their superfiuous
troops from Port Arthur to Harbin and
| Kirin, because of the shortness of pro-
visions, and because is doubtful whether
or not they would be able to hold either
Port Arthur or Niuchwang against a
resolute attack. The spirit of the Rus
sian troops, who are largely recruits,
has been broken by starvation, cold, and
harsh treatment from their officers.
The Russian losses on the Yalu riveI
are reported to reach a total OF 2,OOV
