JAPANESE STRATEGY.
INGENIOUS Tactics That Marked shs
SIEGE of Port Arthur.

INGENIOUS Tactics That Marked shs
Siege of Port Arthur.
Much II The slaughter that marked
the siege of Port Arthur centered about
the capture of what was known as 203
Meter hill. The Japanese wanted that
eilinenfe not 10 plant guns on it; but
10 observe the position of the Russian
warships anchored in Port Arthur har-
Dor. Before the capture Of the hill the
Japauese fired into the. town and the
Iarbor with an alarming and puZzllne
accuracy. although the gunners never
saw their target.
After IL time the Russians learned
that IL Chinese fisherman was particu-
larry fond Of & certain spot in the har-
Dor. They watched him. If shot fell
beyond particular ship he moved his
boat in corresponding direction. 1t
q shot fell to the left the simple Chi
nese found the fishing better In that
direction. Apparently he had no mis-
sion in the world except to find the
best fishing ground. Finally 1t dawned
upon the Russians that his movements
could be observed by Japanese field
glasses. Fishing in the harbor was
prohibited and the japanese fire Went
wide.
After a 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
locking for crabs. He had White
bucket and black one. If a shot fell
! short or went beyond the mark the
white bucket moved in sympathy. III
it went to the right or left the black
bucket was affected only. II nit
was made the buckets came together.
Possibly it was by using the simple
Chinese that the Japanese succeeded
in mining the entrance TO Port Arthur
harbor. On April 10. 1904. Admiral
Makarof came out ut the head or his
feet. his pennant flying from the retro
palovsk. The flagship struck cable
that connected three floating mines
One mine swung to port. two to star
hoard. In a few minutes Makarof anc
his shin went down. The fleet turned
and fled into port.-Scientitic Amerl'
