Japanese Advance at Port Arthur

The Japanese have captured one of the most important forts in the outer defenses of Port Arthur, have placed guns now so as to reach all parts of the harbor, and continue their attacks on the stronghold incessantly. Many thousands have been killed or mutilated in this business during the past week. In the north fighting of a desultory nature continues, but without bringing the main armies into combat. The Japanese fleet is being put into condition to meet the Russian Baltic fleet when it shall arrive.
