CAPTURE TWO FORTS
JAPS TAKE -COMMANDING POSI
TIONS AT PORT ARTHUR.
Four Are Disabled and Cuns Have
Been Taken Off and Mounted on
Land Defenses for the Las. Stand
of the Russian Forces.
Cho Foo, Auk. 24. A junk whl.h
left Uaotl promontory on tlu night of
Auk. 21 lias Just urrived hero. ho
reports that tho Japanese havo suc
ceeded in. occupying Antseshun fort,
as wvll as another fort, probably Etse
ehan, about a mile southwest of Antse
ahan. They have driven the Hussluns
from the parudo grounds, which 11m
about two miles north of the harbor;
they have destroyed two forts at Chao
chanko, which Is within tho eastern
fortifications, and they have advanced
to a point near OiaUhanko. Thla
news confirms Information received
here previously that the Japanese had
penetrated along tho railway to Oen
eral Stoessel's residence
The Junk heard firing until midnight
of Aug. 22. Scarcely a building in
Port Arthur remains undamaged. Tho
town hall, which was used as a mu;a
line, has been destroyed. Four large
warships unablo to fight are at Tori
Arthur. Only one ship, a vessel with
two masts and two funnels, has guns
on board. Tho Are of the forts not
captured by the Japane.se, together
with tho effect of land mines, is given
as the reason why the Japanese have
not yet conquered' the Russians
stronghold.
RUSSIANS 8EE RAY OF HOPE.
Military Authoritle Think Stoessel
May Be Able to Hold Out.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 24. With all
Russia hanging breathlessly ou the
fate of Port Arthur, even such a na
tional event as the christening of the
czarevitch Is robbed of much of the
prominence which would otherwise be
accorded It, and St. Petersburg is dim
and silent, with no sign of festivity.
Although the falryMIke grounds of
Peterhof palace are gay with flags
and decorations, and though tho great
palace is filled with distinguished
guests, the scene resembles more one
Of a weighty international conference
than that of a gathering of merry
makers. Tho capital is filled with sinister
rumors of Port Arthur's desperate
straits. The superstitious are predict
ing the fall of the fortrcbs on tho day
of tho baptism of the czarevitch, but
this Is easily traceable to the fact
that several big Russian reverses
have occurred on Russian fete days.
It is reported that a message was
received from Lieutenant General
Stoessel which was S'nt from Port
Arthur on the night of Aug. 22 by way
of Che Foo, saying that a desperate
assault by the Japanese had been in
progress during the previous forty-
eight hour. While the general staff
docs not conceal its anxiety, tho best
military authorities have not aban
doned tho hope that General Stoessel
will be able to hold out. This more
hopeful view is somewhat borne out
by an unoXcial dispatch from Uao
Yang, saying that In a two days' as
sault, on Aug. 19 nnd 2 ft, the attack
ers, like their predecessors, were
beaten off with hnavy losses.
The situation nt Uao Yang is quiet,
but the Improving weather presages
the renewal of military activity. It
Is believed that if General Kouropat
kln i9 contemplating a diversion in
favor of Port Arthur, it will not be
long delayed.
Japs Sink Cruiser Novik.
Toklo, Aug. 23. After a severe en
gagement with tho protected cruisers
Chitoso nnd Tsushima, the grey
hounds of the Japanese navy, the
fleet Russian cruiser Novik has been
vanquished. Tho fight occurred Sun
day. After It the Novik, in a sinking
condition, was run ashore in Korsa
kovsk hnrhor, on the Island of Sak
halin. Captain Takhashl, who was In
command of the Chltose, reported tho
engagement in a brief telegram to the
ravy department here. He says he
first attacked tho Russian cruiser Sat
urday afternoon and that on Sunday
morning he inflicted heavy damage
upon her. The Novik nearly sank,
but she was beached at Korsakovsk.
Repairs on Askold Ordered Stopped.
Washington. Aug. 24. Consul Gen
eral Goodnow, at Shanghai, cables
the state department that the Chinese
taotai of Shanghai, through the Brit
ish consul, has ordered that the re
pairs to tho Russian cruiser Askold
and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozo
vol be stopped. The order was made
through tho British consul because of
the fact that the repairs were being
made by the British Dock company at
Shanghai.
Rutsian Battleship Strikes Mine.
Toklo, Aug. 24. Admlrat Kataoka
reports that as the Russian battle
ship Sevastopol was emerging from
Port Arthur yesterday she struck a
mine, after which aho was seen to ho
listed to starboard. She was towed
tack into tho harbor.
Record of Land Office.
Washington, Aug. 24. The record
of tho public land office for the fiscal

1C.25S.892 acres of public lands were
