AS WAR PROGRESSES.
Summary of What Armies Did Last
Week,

Week.
The week opened with news that
the Russian garrison at Port Arthur
was fighting desperately to retake the
two forts which command the towns
water supply. Later it was asserted
by the Russians that the loss of these
forts was not vital, as the garrison
had many wells and springs, and also
plant for condensing sea water.
From st. Petersburg, Sunday, came
semiofficial announcement that Cen
eral Kuropatkin would be appointed
commander in chief of all the armies
now in Manchuria and yet to be dis.
patched there, and that Generals Mey.
erberg, Grippenberg and Linevitch
would command armies under him.
That would give Kuropatkin a rank
like that of Field Marshal Oyama, who
commands all the japanese forces in
Manchuria, with Kuroki, Oku and Nod.
zu commanding armies under him. La
ter dispatches, though, indicate that
there was still some doubt about the
supreme command of the Russian ar.
mics.
The Russian scouts lost touch with
General KurOki's army early in the
week, and considerable uneasiness was
felt in st. Petersburg, where it was
feared that Kuroki had slipped away
on another great flanking movement.
The alarm was short lived, for the
Russians again got in touch with him
a few hours later, finding that his
position had not been materially al.
tered.
1t developed during the week that
the main Russian army had with.
drawn from Mukden and was concen-
trating at Tie pass, or Telling, north
of Mukden. Early in the week the
Japanese were reported to be active
west of Mukden, and there were sew
eral clashes between the cavalry of
the opposing armies, but nothing more
serious than outpost skirmishes.
A growing belief is reported among
the Japanese people that their forces
will storm and take Port Arthur on
October IS.
Reports from Toxic and Chefoo, on
Thursday, that a great naval battle
had been fought off Port Arthur, were
denied the following day.
Emperor Nicholas received, Thurs
day, General Stoessel's official report
of the desperate four days assault by
Japanese on the forts at Port Ar
thur. He reported that the Japanese
losses between September 10 and 20
were 10000. This corroborates pre-
vious reports brought to Chefoo by
Chinese escaping from Port Arthur.
The tone of General Stoessel's dis
patch was courageous and hopeful,
and hope revived in St. Petersburg
that the garrison might yet hold out
until the first of next year.
Interest was revived in the Baltic
squadron by an official statement by
the Russian admiralty that the squad
ron was about to sail for the Pacific
Russian newspapers declare that the
war must be fought to the bitter end
until the Japanese have been driv.
