JapS Capture
Port Arthur.

London, Feb. l1-One of the most
conservative commercial houses in
the city, with immense interests in
the Orient, has received a message
in cipher from its representative in
IN Chefoo that the Japanese have
captured Port Arthur and destroyed
the entire Russian fleet.
It was stated that the Japanese
army first blew up the railroad so
miles from the coast to cut of relief,
then carried by assault the promon-
tory overlooking the city and harbor.
Mounting heavy artillery here,
they shelled the city and harbor,
driving the Russian fleet out into the
sea, where the Japanese battleships
and cruisers met them.
In the resulting sea fight, the Rus
sian ships were all either captured
or destroyed. The Japanese then
attacked and captured Port Arthur.
taking possession of the immense
stores of coal and provisions.
Itwas also reported that the Japa-
nese had planned explosions all along
the line of the Siberian railway, and
thus the Cars army in the far East
was isolated.
This startling message is, in
measure, corroborated by the Reuter-
dispatches.
