l “mu-n ..‘l Defenders Abandon the Main Forts and Outlying Works. JAPS ARE CLOSER. ’A despatch from London says: The official report issued by the Japan" ese Legation on Monday is the latest reliable news from Port Arthur. Rumors from Choice and Shanghai represent the besiegers as having made considerable further progress Saturday, when, it is stated, several Russian counterâ€"attacks at Erhlnngâ€" sllan were replulsed with great loss to the defenders, who abandoned the main forts and outlying works. The Chefoo correspondent of the Daily Telegraph does not support rtliese rumors. He confirms the of- ficial statement, and adds that the 'Japnncse are halfway up the slopes of Erhlungslhan and Shanshosllan. They have four large forts facing those Russian positions, anti are mounting naval guns on them. The Japanese have repeatedly stolen into the native toWn, under cover of darkâ€" ness, but have been in‘varialbly driven out by daylight, losing heavily. The Japanese works are two miles and a half away from the Russian batteries at Liao‘tishan, but elsewthere they haVe wormed their way to within a quarter of a mile of the outer en- ceinte. The fighting is now princiâ€" pally wit'h rifles. the big guns being seldom used. An examination of all the reports printed in the morning newspapers creates the impression that the fall of the fortress is not likely to oc- cur in the immediate future unless by surrender. although the northern and eastern forts will soon, it is expected be econ-pied by the Japanese, who continue landing reinforcements at Dalny. . Very long press despatchcs detail- ing events from July onward are printed. They contain descriptions of curious siege devices improvised by lthe Japanese, among them being Wooden mortars, hooped with ham- boo, from which gunâ€"cotton grenades are fired at ranges of from 50 to 200 yards. These mortars are declared to be very effective. Many kinds of shields have been invented and have' been found to be very useful. One steel bullet-proof shield weighs 32 pounds. It is fixed with straps to a man's shoulders and covers his whole body. There are slits for the eyes and holes for the hands. These are efiectively used by the men when cutâ€" ting wire entanglements. ARMIES SUFFER FROM COLD. . A despatch from London says :â€" lAccording to the despatches received here from the front, the intense cold, which is accompanied by snow, hail and dust storms, adds to the hard- ships of both armies on the Sha River. There is a scarcity of fireâ€" wood, and the risk of drawing one another’s projectiles prevents the lighting of fires except occasionally. The soldiers burrow in the ground like rabbits for protection from the cold. The correspondents on either believe that the side hardships the -.troops are undergoing are likely to commanders to seek a forcible issue out of their troubles at an early date. In no case will either withdraw until another batâ€" tle is fought. The Japanese seem to have a. slightly more advan- tageous position. Neither army seems to be yet losing many men from disease, despite the cold, in addition to which the Russians are suffering, according to one account, from shortness of food. induce the SNOW IN MANCHURIA . ’A despatch from Gen. Kuroki‘s Headquarters says zâ€"The positions of the two armies are unchanged. The Russians continue infrequent and ineffective bombardment, principally at night or in the early morning, with heavy guns, devoting their ellâ€" ergies chiefly to the Japanese left, where the lines are nearer than elsewhere. The Japanese refrain from firing. There is a. sharp exchange, indicat- ing firing somewhere on the lilies almost every night. The cold weather of the past week culminated on Friday in a sharp wind and flurries of snow. The ground is frozen but the soldiers build few fires for warmth, lest they 'draw the Russian shots. They have remarkably and ingeniously well constructed shelters of corn stalks wherever they are unable to occupy Chinese houses. Fur overcoats are being used. SAD CELEBRATION. A despatcli from St. Petersburg says: There was little attempt on Thursday to celebrate, except in a perfunctory way, the tenth anniver- sary of the accession of lznlpcrm- Nicholas. The imperial family at- tended 9. Te Deum at the Tia/tin Cathedral. and there were sel‘yicee in all the churches. Later the troops were paraded, the theatres gave free exhibitions to the school children, and there was music and other :loli- day displays in the park‘s. But, on account of the war and the -ll)Xl-‘l_\-' regarding the situation at Port Ar- tlllu: everything was on a email scale. BAIJl‘I FOR ALl‘IXlllFF. A (lcspatch from St. Petersburg says: It is understood that, Admiral Alexicll, after a sojourn in the apartâ€" llneuts in the Winttr l‘alace that are ‘being prepared for him, will be apâ€" [OillLCLl Governor of Moscow. lle. ,will succeed the. Grand llu‘~e Serge, who will msume the coullnandsin‘chicf in th: army at St. l'ctersinlrg, re< placing; the Grand Duke Vl;llll.l.ir. The (~rand Duke is ill. TOWNS ARE DESERTED. A correspondent at. Mukden writes: "I have traveled for forty miles along the Russian front. it is a. stupendous martial spectacle. The country around is bare, the crops. being for the most part. trampled on and destroyed. “I saw only one village where any Chinese were living, although 1 pass- ed through forty towns lately Vcl'y populous. The villagers have lieu. not because of llussmn cruelty, but because of bullets and shrapnel. The soldiers are using the furniture and rafters of the deserted houses, and felling the trees for fuel. “I met only a score of Chinese. mostly peddlers. The only woman I saw was an old one, searching among the ruins of her home. Chinâ€" ese translators are now unnecessarl, as there are no Chinese in the vil- l lages. Those in Mukden understand lwell enough. “Figures resembling vigorous Chi- nese men dot the held. These are Russian soldiers in Chinese winter dress. 1n startling contrast with the cheerful autumn weather are the deserted villages and barren fields, wherein are multitudes of starving dogs, and great flocks of crows. "The whole country is burrowed by trenches and artillery positions. Some are occupied, and many aban- doncd. In some places the ground is strewn with fragments of shells. Bloodâ€"stained boots cut from woundâ€" ed legs, and pieces of cloth, are there too, and Japanese knapsacks. 'l‘he mud walls of the Villages are pierced by loop-holes. The soldiers at the front are living snueg ill under- ground homb-proofs. Russian graves are everywhere.” NOT WAR, BUT BUTCHERY. A despatch from Vienna says“. The Allgememe Ze’it.u,ng says that the Pope. in an interview, declared that the Russoâ€"Japanese contest was no longer war, but butchery. It was most regrettable that all the civilizâ€" ed powers were indiil‘erent instead of combining in great. common action to end it. He hoped that Divine 'providence would soon stop the bloody struggle. He had intended to lissue a manifesto against war in the :abstract, war in these modern times ,being an absurdity, but glory was 'both blind and deaf. ADMIRAL BETRAYED PLANS. A despatch lrom Tokio says: It lhas transpired that the loss of the lHitachi Maru and the damage done ‘to the Sade Maru by the Vladivoâ€" stock squadron was owing to inforâ€" ilnatiou having been given to the enemy by a Japanese admiral 0n the 'staff here. Telegrams were deâ€" spatched to Fusan and communicated :to the Russians by wireless teleâ€" 'grapliy, which enabled the fleet to ’locate the transports soon after they left Moji. The admiral was found guilty of treachery, and his death sentence was read out to him by his intimate friend and comrade. The staff assembled and entered the room, which had been cleared of all furniture. The prisoner was made to take off his uniform. He was then beaten to death by his comrades. The admiral received a cheque on the Russian Chinese Rank for £12,â€" 000 for the information which caused such a blow to Japanese arms and is believed to have prevented the capâ€" ture of Port Arthur. The Hitachi Maru was loaded with Ithe largest and best siege guns in Japan, and also carried two armorâ€" ed trains and railway plant. The Sado Marti is (locked at Moll ‘for repairs. She carried 500 enginâ€" eers and miners and thousands of 'ponnds' worth of stores, besides a number of details. Capt. Campbell, who commanded ‘the Hitachi lll'aru, was killed giving orders to mm the Rilrik, which sank her and poured a heavy 'lll‘C‘ on to the deck of the transport. after, â€"â€"â€"-aâ€"____~. I .
