Tokyo, Aug 25.-The final assault

destructive fire into the city and har-

japanese official channels of informa-

partment's announcement of the strik-
ing OF a mine by the battleship Sevas-

suga are the only disclosures made for
several days. 1t is believed here that
both sides have suffered heavy losses
and that the final record will make the
siege the bioodiest since Sedan. The
Japanese are supremely confident of
the ultimate result. The leaders Of the
government await the outcome In calm
assurance. The people are everywhere
decorating streets and houses and
erecting arches and fiagstaffs in prepa-
ration for a national celebration Of the
expected victory.
Further details Of the disabling OF
