Toxic, Aug. 25-The final assault
on Port Arthur is imminent. Hun
dreds of Japanese guns continue to
pour a destructive fire into the city
and harbor, along the lines of forts and
entertainments preparatory for the in
Russian lines have been weakened and
partly penetrated in the vicinity of
Anteshan and Itzshan forts. The en-
tire line of Russian defenses imme-
diately about the harbor are within
range of the Japanese guns. A num-
Der of Russian forts and batteries con-
tinue to be vigorous. The Japanese
deathroll will be heavily increased be-
fore they are captured. The direction
of the Japanese attack creates the i'm
preston here that the city and de-
lenses on either side of the harbor en-
trance will fall first. The final stand
will be made at Liaotishan. Japanese
official channels of information remain
closed and the navy department an
nouncement of the striking of a mine
by the battleship Sevastopol and the
firing upon the Russian forts by the
cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga Tuesday
are the only disclosures made for sew
era1 days. 1t is believed here that both
sides have suffered heavy losses and
that the final record will make the
siege the bloodiest since Sedan. The
Japanese are supremely confident of
the ultimate result. The leaders of
the government await the outcome in
calm assurance. The people are
everywhere decorating streets and
houses and erecting arches and flag
STATS in preparation for national eel
ebration of the expected victory.

PANICAT ASUNCION

Rebels.
FOREIGNERS LEAVING
In All Parts of Paraguay There Is
an Exodus of Panic-Stricken
People.
LEAVING
Belief Is Growing In Informed Cir
Giles That Government Must
Yield.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 25.-The panic
at Asuncion is Undesirable. Foreign
ers in all parts of Paraguay are leav-
ing under the protection of the diplo-
matte corps. Preparations for HOSTILE
ties and negotiations looking to the
settlement of the questions at issue
between the revolutionists and the
government are proceeding simultane-
ously.
The belief is growing that the gov
eminent must yield. The rumors that
a land engagement has been fought
between the revolutionists and gov
eminent troops, resulting in the defeat
OF the latter and the capture of 400
men, as announced in these dispatches
yesterday, have not yet been con-
firmeG.

RUSSIA ANXIOUS
Absence Of Any Real News at St
Petersburd

st. Petersburg, Aug. 25.-So far as
can be ascertained no further news of
the progress of the fighting before the
beleaguered fortress has been received
except that contained in reports from
foreign sources. These latter are con-
fiicting, some of them representing
that the Japanese assault has become
exhausted, and others claiming that
the Japanese have captured Etseshan
forts, belonging to the western line
of defenses. If this position has been
taken and occupied it is realized that
unless the Japanese are at once dis
lodged the chain of Notifications will
be preached and the position of Port
Arthur rendered critical. The report
however, is considered as requiring
confirmation.
The simple fact that the day to
which a large portion Of the public
looked forward with superstitious
dread passed without the fall of the
fortress suddenly encourages the pop
ular hope that the christening of the
Czarevitch will mark turning of the
tide.
Reports that General Kuropatkin is
about to make an important move con-
tinue to be Circulated but the charac-
ter CT the move is not limited at. AS
the reports from the front agree that
tho ~cins have ceased and that the
roads are drying, resumption of mil
itary activity is expected. Since his
retirement from Simoucheng and the
Yangse pass, it is estimated that more
than 5000 reinforcements have reach
ed General Kuropatkin.
Nothing mas been received from
Russian sources confirming the report
that the battleship Sevastopol struck
a mine outside Port Arthur Tuesday.
