jAPS SHELL PORT ARTHUR
Furious Bombardment Of Russian
City Carried on Night and Day.
BOTH SIDES SUFFER HEAVILY

Now the Popular Hero of Japan
Russian Forts Damaged-Work Of Jap
anese Gunuers Was Very Effective
A Long Range Duel.
London.-A news agency dispatch
from Toxic gives interesting details of
the last fighting at Port Arthur.
Admiral Togo's torpedo flotilla
opened the action by steaming in boldly
under the batteries and successfully
placing number of mechanical mines
in the mouth of the harbor. Then a
desperate encounter took place between
the destroyers on each side.
A long range duel between cruisers
ensued, ending with the retirement
of the Russian cruisers Novik and
Bayan. The concluding phase of the
operations was the bombardment or
the inner harbor by the Japanese bat
tleships. They took up their position
southwest of Port Arthur, using only
their twelve-inch guns. There are
twenty-four such in the six battleships
composing the squadron. Each gun
fred five rounds total of l2O OF the
huge prOjectiles hurled into the city.
Captain Asai was the hero Of the
attack. He commanded the three jap
anese destroyers and attacked the six
Russian destroyers, ordering his craft
to close in with the enemy. The order
was carried out to the letter
The boats steamed so close up to the
enemy's vessels that they almost
touched one another, fighting desper-
ately. until the Russians retired, badly
disabled.
Engineer Minamisawa, of the de-
stroyer Kasumi, was mortally wound
ed. He took part in the first attack
on Port Arthur, and also in the at
tempt to close up the mouth OF the
harbor. On both occasions he was
mentioned for gallantry.
Admiral Togo's purpose in sending
cruisers to Talienwan Bay was to de-
stroy a signal station and mine depot.
This was duly accomplished. The de-
tails of the operations evoked intense
enthusiasm. Togo is now permanently
numbered among the heroes of the en-
pire.
The latest reports state that the Jap
anese lost nine killed and five seriously
and seventeen slightly wounded. The
heet was undamaged.
A decoration equivalent to the Vic
toria Cross has been bestowed by the
Mikado upon Engineer Minamisawa,
of the destroyer Kasumi. who was NOR
tally wounded in the fight.
