ken to the front when the proper time arrived Our ideas and those of the au- tborities differed widely on four counts 1. What constituted being patient. ?, When the proper time had arrived. g.. The way to witness a battle. 4. What constituted news.
 The Japanese military idea of what constitutes cable news which may be safely given to the world could be put ir a teacup. After cutting out every thing which might by any chance fur nish the enemy with information as to movements, strength, names of organiza- tions or commanders. we found that high praise of Japanese efficiency was not de- sired, since 1t would alarm the enemy into more fully preparing for combat, while accurately describing how any feat at arms was accomplished furnished the enemy with valuable tactical informa- ton. Again, to enumerate losses might dishearten tho Japanese troops and the people at home
 There Is nothing In all this that any fair-minded man should take exception to Japan Is engaged in life-and-death struggle and the greater secrecy she can maintain in matters military and naval the better it will be for her.

The Japanese captured Wolf mountain and intrenched there. They were thus 1 enabled to pour a relentless fire into the town and upon the ships in the harhor. SURRENDER DEMANDED.
 Three outlying batteries were captured by the Japs just previous to August 15. On the 17th a demand for the surrender of the fortress was made by the Jap anese. A negative reply was sent next day by General Stoessel and then the Japanese began a continued bombardment from their land positions and from the sea.
 On the 20th of August the Japanese captured Fort No. %. one mile north of Golden Hill. At the same time the fight ing against the forts at the southern end of the harbor was suspended. A day or so later letter was received from Gen eral Stoessel in which he said; Farewell forever. Port Arthur will be my tomb"
 Bloody fighting and tremendous losses marked the rest of August. The Japs captured Benjusan and Keekwan forts, though at a fearful price, being repeat ed- ly driven back. Fighting was incessant in the Shuishi valley. In six days the Japa- rese losses were 14,000. For two weeks the Russians fought valiantly to regain these two positions. but unavaillngly.
 A general assault on September 19, at night, gave the Japanese the half-moon line of forts in the Shuishi valley and materially strengthened their position. On this day and the one following dynamite and hand grenades were used in the as- sault.
 By industrious sapping the little brown men advanced steadily. They were en- abled from their positions to fire on the battleships in the harbor, and on Octo- Der 10, after a heavy bombardment, they captured the line of trenches about Urh fort On the 16th they captured the trenches on the crest of Hachihake Ya- ma, and nine days later gained the crests of the glacls of East Urh fort and Chair hill. Following these victories the Rus sians sortied a dozen times, but retired again, after infiicting heavy losses on the Japs.
 Lighting underground took place on the 30th, when some exceedingly deep Rus sian trenches near the south keekwan forts were taken, unmasling the Russian eastern position. The galleries, which were covered, were taken In part and on November the work of the Japs in this direction was completed.
 Despite reports of the terrible condi- tions prevailing in the fortress at this time, Stoessel telegraphed the Czar on November F that he could hold out for several months.
 On December High (2Os-Meter) hill. one of the most commanding positions, was captured by the Japanese after a severe fight. On December 19 the East ! Keekwan fort was taken. Mining and sap ping were important factors in the cap ture of the Rihlung fort on December 29. Liaotie fort was destined to be the last ditch' of the defenders. On December 31 shungshu mountain fell into the hands Of the besiegers, and only O few hours later the "H fort, another strong position, was captured, and on last Sunday night General Stoessel surrendered after one of the most memorable defenses recorded in history.

JAPANESE POLITE TO
 WAR CORRESPONDENTS
By William Dinwiddie in the New York

By William Dinwiddie in the New York
 World.
 Nagasak.-Some of the distinguished war correspondents" as the Japanese call us, seem prone to let their personal feelings bubble over in printed wrath against the military authorities opJapan.
 The Japanese have conventions of speech and action which are not provided for in the teachings of Confucius. They differ from ours and because they are foreign to our procedure we anathema- tize them. When the Japanese does what in ourselves we charitably term evading the issue. we call him a liar. When he fools us we call him a scoundrel. We are outraged because he will not say mo" with a snap of the teeth; If he did we should probably declare that he was no better than a savage.
 He does not say "no' hatly because centuries of training in courtesy have taught him the rudeness of doing so. We call 1t lying, and say that hiJ conscience Is warped. while to him the man capable of crude abruptness Is devoid of con- science.
 Here Is the Keynote.
 A Japanese who says to you. You had better wait a few days. I am very sorry for you, and trust that we shall be able to let you do what you wish after a while" has said mo- Every Japanese subject knows this, and promptly retires with bow and smile. We stay to ar que 1t out, and to be met with endless polite evasions.
 Respecting the treatment of corre- spondents, the writer has at times re- sented the attitude of the Japanese war office, and he has protested vigorously at what he was pleased to consider curtail- ment of supposed professional rights. However it is difficult to imagine that the reading public will ever shed tears over his discontinue.
 A Japanese lieutenant once smilingly said t me, You distinguished gentle men expect to be treated like noblemens' Right here is the keynote. We do ex- pect to receive the same consideration as any other man, without distinction. At home we meet our highest officials on footing of equality. Our pride has been wounded. In Japan. until within the last few years, the newspaper man has neid

fight. On the 10th the Russians emerged from the harbor. sallying forth in des- perate fashion, and entered upon an en- gagement that has become renowned in the annals of war The water fairly boil ed with the number of shells thrown, and the result was all one-sided. When all was over the Retvizan. the Poltava- the Pobieda, the Sevastopol and the Peres- viet were back in Port Arthur harbor. all badly disabled; the cruiser Askold and the destroyer Grozovio had fled to Shanghai, and the Gromobol and Rossia were on their way to Vladivostok. The Novik had got away, and started on long run to Vladivostok She was sunk later by a fleet other than Togo's.
 Early in November attention was again attracted to the naval fight by the es- cape from the harbor of the Russian de- stroyer Rastorophy. She made her way safely through Togo's lines and floating mines and reached Che Foo, where her commander, Captain Pelem, blew up his ship to prevent her falling into the enc my's hands.

one of the lowest positions in the social scale, and yet titled noblemen and proud generals have broken down the barriers they believed this to be an act of conde- scension and that they had honored us, and-worst of all-they gave us a cup of tea instead of news
 Between wounded vanity, injured per- sonal interests and the ever-smiling po- liteness with which you were met when you felt like making row and smashing the furniture. 1t was difficult to maintain a semblance of dignity, to say nothing of a proper prospective.
 However. there are two sides to the war-correspondent situation. For ten years this Eastern nation had been pre- pairing for war. With painstaking &C., ouracy 1t provided for every detail of the campaign except one-the war corre- spondent.
 An officer of high rank in the Japanese staff ofice said to the writer during a discussion of the liberties to be granted war correspondents: You represent in- terests diametrically opposing those of our army. You are expected to make public to the world the movements of our troops in full detail. We desire to keep as secret as possible every maneu- ver" To the suggestion that we did not expect information regarding projected plans, but that we did desire to describe engagements after they were over, he re- piled: "A war is not finished until the treaty of peace is signed. We do not wish the enemy to have information as to the disposition of troops or the tactics employed in defeating them. The longer we can keep the enemy in ignorance of everything pertaining to our army, the more it is to our advantage. What he can learn through spies Is of little irn- portance compared with the definite knowledge he may gain through a single letter from a trained observer" The mill itary commander was right.
 Officers Criticised.
 The general staff officers In Tokio have been severely criticised for not saying frankly at the start that they did not want correspondents with the army in the field, instead of permitting them to rsmain in Tolfio month after month, at great expense to their papers, under tho impression that patience would win them permission to accompany the army.
 We were told over and over again that ie we would be patient we would be ta-

NARROW HARBoR ENTRANCE.

NARROW HARBoR ENTRANCE.
 Roughly, Port Arthur bay Is oval in shape. The entrance is rot 600 feet wide. That is to say, the distance across the mouth is less than the length of two New York avenue blocks. Ships entering must do so in single file. The southern shore of the entrance Is the Tigers Tail, a narrow neck of high land rising almost sheer from the water. The bay curves in- ward to the south, once Tigers Tail { cliffs are passed, and this section is called West Port. The waters here are shallow.
 Golden Hill forms the northern side of 6he entrance. Behind it. running north, is channel more narrow than the en- trance to the bay, and this leads to the inner harbor called East Port, where the dry docks are located. It is an almost square basin and at the upper end is a lake, Cliffs of great height compose Col den Hill, and these extend along the sea- shore to Sha-Ki- Shan.
 Tigers Tail has an almost fiat top. Where West Port hears the sea again at dts southern end, the land Is low, but 1t rises again immediately, forming Table Hill.
 Ii Hung Chang was greatly impressed with the location. and the possibilities of n fortress here strongly appealed to him. Added to the advantages on the sea front, the site of the little fishing village was surrounded by hills on the land side, all of which were admirably adapted for Notifications.
 The Chinese statesman consulted with German engineers. The ground was gone over again and again, and the outcome was that China began the work of forti- fying Port Arthur, the greatest work or the kind that nation had attempted since the building of the Great Wall. and a work that was to be of little use to her GAVE IT BACK TO CHINA.
 With the capture of Port Arthur from the Chinese by the Japanese in the war that began in July, 1894, the town took its place in history. Since that eventful day much has been heard of 1t and 1t has been a bone of contention always never being out of the minds of the diplo- mats whose duty it has been to watch the far east.
 When the war was over and the treaty of Shimonoseli was about to be drawn up Port Arthur was the cause of much wrangling and delay. Japan wanted 1t and claimed that it was hers by right of capture. At length China reluctantly gave 1t up, and with certain other por- fions of Manchuria, 1t passed Into the possession of Japan.
 Rut this order of things was soon dis turbed, Russia, France and Germany were not at all pleased with the prospect of the Japanese being In possession Of the strongest fort in the entire east, from which the capital of China could be com- manded. Long was the argument on the point and eventually. in consideration of 30 GOO. GOO teals, the Japanese government gave back the port to China. This hap pened in November, 1895, one year after the capture On March 27, 1898. China leased the port to Russia and the trouble between Japan and Russia dates almost from that day.
 The Russians built a chain of forts from the tip of the Tigers Tail south ward and round West Port to Table Hill thence northward completely round the
