JAPANESE STRATEGY.
Ingenious Tactics That Marked the
Siege of Port Arthur.

Sicgo OF Fort Artnuf.
Much OF the slaughter tina. marked
she siege OF Port Arthur centered about
the capture of what was known as 2O2
Meter hill. The japanese wanted that
eminence. not to plant guns IN IL, but
20 observe the position Of the Russian
warships anchored in Port Al thur har-
bor Before the capture Of Il G hill the
Japanese fired into the towI. and the
harbor with an alarming anC puZzling
accuracy. although the gunners never
saw their target
After a time the Russians learned
that a Chinese fisherman was particu-
larly fond Of certain spot In the har-
bor They watched him. IL Il shot fell
beyond a particular ship he moved his
boat in a corresponding direction. II
a shot fell to the left the 81 nple Chi
nese found the fishing better in that
direction. Apparently he hal no mis-
sion In the world except to find the
best fishing ground. Finally { dawned
upon the Russians that his II ovements
could be observed by japanese field
glasses. Fishing In the harbor was
prohibited. and the japanese fire went
wide.
After time the shots began hitting
their marks with the former accuracy.
The Russians looked for Cinnamon.
They found one. He liked to wade
into the shallow water. apparently
looking for crabs. He had white
bucket and black one. If Il shot fell
short or went beyond the mark the
white bucket moved In sympathy. If
1t went TO the right or left the black
bucket was affected only. If a hit
was made the buckets came together.
Possibly It was by using the simple
Chinese that the japanese succeeded
