HEROIC DEFENDERS.
Port Arthur Soldiers Remained at

LIAOYANG, August Ira refugee from
Port Arthur who has just arrived at Lao

remain all day at theft posts, in spite of
the dreadful heat, the women heroically
carrying water to the parched soldiers,
although not a single space within the

bursting shells Sometimes the whole fort

countless shell explosions.
There was a memorable sight from the

giving examples OF courage and resource
previously unequaled.
The japanese artillery received a fresh
supply of ammunition the previous evening,
and never before was there such a terrific
hail Of projectiles. but the efforts Of the
Japanese were unavailing against the de-
termined stand of the Russians who prov
ed themselves worthy sons of the defend
ers of Sebastopol, and the attack was re-
pulsed with enormous losses. The refugee
. gives the Russian losses at 1.5C0 and those
Of the Japanese at 10000.
After the battle Gen. Stoessel ordered out
every available surgeon to dress the jap
anese wounded. but the Russians were un-
able to bring them into the fortress, where
the problem Of feeding the non-combat-
ants Is too serious Consequently the jap
anese wounded were left on the field of
battle. to be taken off by their own people.
The refugee says that Japanese spies were
swarming along the railroad from Tientsin

car.
