Latest War News.
Chefoo, October 3.-Chinese who
left Port Arthur Ootober 1 and were
previously engaged in burying
the dead says the effect of the Rus
sian shells and machine gnus ia ter
rible. The slopes of a high hill were
littered with mangled bodies and
severed heads and limbs.
In one trench the Chinese buried
300 Japanese and 200 Russians.
While it is true that the regular
water supply of Port Arthur has been
stopped by the Japanese, the fortress
has other supplies which cac bo taken
only when the oity falls.
The garrison of Port Arthur cow has
sufficient food,but the supplies of tin
ned meats are nearly exhausted and
the troops are cow slaughtering thirty
donkeys daily for fresh meat, which
is worth $1.20 per pound.
A private letter reoeived here today
from Port Arthur, dated September 23,
gives further details of the fighting
from September 19 to September 22.
The attaok began with a heavy bom
ardment directed against nearly all
the Russian outposts and many o' the
main forts. The shelling of the re
doubts protecting the water-supply
of Port Arthur was tremendous and
bightfall of September 19 found them
reduced to the mere heaps of debris.
The garrison of the redoubts there
upon retreated safely to the main
fortifications under the cover of dark
ness. At 4 o'clock the same after
noon the Japanese assault on High
hill began. The Japanese pian of at
tack never varied. First a bombard
ment again and another assault. The
desperate determination of the Japan
ese to capture this position amounts
to fanaticism, their efforts never
ceasing during four days. 1
Tokio, Oot. 3-The navy depart
ment reports the destruction of an
other Russian ateamer while dearing
the mines at the entrance of Port Ar
thur. The report of the loss of the
Japaneset?unboat at ihe Port is un
founded. ^
Rome, Oot. 3.- A telegram from
Chefoo, asserts that General Stossel,
in command at Port Arthur, bas or
dered all the women and children ex
cept the nurses to leave the Port in
order that food and water, which are
scarce, may last longer.
