Chefoo, Aug. 20.-One fortified posi-.
ton which commands the entire sweep
OF the besieged city won and lost after
a struggle OF unparalleled fierceness,
more than 10000 men killed and
wounded, mown down in solid com
panies by the ceaseless deluge OF
shells from the Russian guns, and the
most desperate attack ever made ca
the fortress checked and broken-this
sums up. to the present, the results Of
the attack launched by the mikados
army upon Port Arthur In answer to
Gen. Stoesseps refusal TO surrender.
News OF the repulse to the Japanese
army was brought to Chefoo late last
night by refugees from Port Arthur.
From their accounts OF the fighting
that RACES without a pause around
the fortress the last attack OF the Jap
anese army was launched with a des-
peration and recklessness little short
OF fanatical, and was only repulsed by
the wonderful heroism and fortitude Of
the Russian troops. who are resolved
to die TO a man rather than surrender
before the fortress falls.
Late Thursday night the Japanese
carried by storm the Russian position
at Palung Chang, which commands the
entire city and Notifications. Hand to
hand fighting OF the most terrific ma
ture marked the capture.
The Russians stood to their guns
until every man was killed or wound
ed All through the night the Japa-
nese from the position poured a rain
OF shells into the very heart OF Port
Arthur. Just before dawn yesterday
a strong force was dispatched by Gen.
Stoessel. with orders TO recapture the
fort or die in the attempt.
In the semi-darkness the Russian
troops crept up the nillsides and were
right under the muzzles OF the Japa-
nese guns before their presence was
discovered. For two hours fight OF the
most desperate and frantic nature
ragged at close quarters. Finally the
Japanese were driyen from the posi-
ton, which was reoccupied by Russian
troops. The Russian forts at Lao
Tien Shan are now threatened by a
large body of japanese who have
pushed their advance to positions
along Pigeon bay.
The refugees who left Port Arthur
last night declare that II is physical
impossibility for the fortress to hold
out much longer and that the Rus
SLAMS, realizing this are concentrating
their final efforts to dealing the great
est possible havoc to the besieging
army.

News From BesIeeed City
Is Vague and Unreliable

London. Aug. 23.-There is no re.
liable news from any source OF what
is happening at Port Arthur. Chefoo
continues to report severe fighting. with
varying success. but the statements
are commonplace and unconvincing,
and have no better basis than the say
SO OF nameless Chinese refugees. prob.
ably coolies.
One report specifies bombardment
from o'clock in the morning until /
In the afternoon on Sunday. The mis-.
siles poured in continuously. but the
Russians ultimately silenced the Japa-
nese batteries. The japanese feet at
sea. therefore. was not engaged in the
bombardment.
The assertion that Saturdays attack
on the fortress signalized the begin.
ming of general assault is denied by
the Berlin Tagellche Rundschau,
which learns from a semi-ofilcal Japa.
nese source that II merely was one Of
series OF attacks for the purpose OF
gaining position for Japanese siege
guns, a majority OF which have not yet
come into action The attack resulted
with success in the center. but the adj
vances on the tanks were merely
feints.

Washington. Aug. 23.--The United
