AWFUL CONFLICT AT PT. ARTHUR
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Port Arthur, Dec. 10 ? The frenzied, war mad Ja-j
panese legions rushed into au assault on Rihlung fortress ;
last night, and are now engaged in a battle with death !
without parallel in the history of the world's wars. Re
gardless of carnage and reeking with blood the sons of
the Rising Sun empire swept like thousands of demons right
into the flaming Russian ramparts and set up trenches of
their own within the trenches of the enemy, Both armies
leserted their own trenches and bomb proofs and fell upon
aach other in hand to hand combat, fighting with bayonets)
ind hand grenades, man against man. The fight waged j
back and forth over a field carpeted black with the corpses :
>f the assaulters and the beseiged. There were no lines or
formations, but Japanese and Russians comingled and|
fought to the death, enveloped with the bursting shell*
from all the forts the guns of which could be brought to
bear upon tli# battlefield. The Japanese were mowed down
by thousands and the vacancies were fdled by onrushing,
relentless beseigers.
After hours of hand to hand fighting the Japanese set up
trenches within 30 yards from the Russian ramparts and
from their position they continue to hurl dynamite bombs
into the enemy's ranks. They were driven back again and
again from their trenches by the Russian* who continue to
rain fire upon them, but each time the trenches were recap
tured.
The record conflict of the world, one making of the bat
tlefield a veritible shamble is still on in all its fury, and no
one to guess at the final result.
CZAR ORDERS RtSSIAAl BALfIC fLCET fO RETURN DOME
St. Petersburg, Dec. 10 ? Definite instruct.ons have
seen sent to Admiral Rojestvensky, of the Baltic ileet, to
;urn back with his ships of war. The order was sent by
;he direction of the czar, who overruled his grand dukes in
iis panic. The czar believes it is now useless to make any
:'urther attempt to relieve Port Arthur from the sea.
PORT ARTHUR FLEET BURNS
Tokyo, Dec. 10 ? Dispatches received yesterday from
5ort Arthur, say the destruction of the Russian squadron
it that place has been complete. The battleship Pobieda
keeled over yesterday in the harbor and was burning whe.
the dispatches were sent. Iietzivan and tlie turret ship Po
tava were both sunk at their moorings. The cruiser Bayan
was beached and is 011 fire. The Paliada is rifiied and is
burning. All the ships have been abandoned. The smaller
craft are making no effort to escape.
It was stated last night that now the Russian fleet has
been destroyed beyond the hope of resurrection the Japa
nese will not make any more attempt to capture the Russian
garrison by assault, but that they will rely 011 the starvation
process to compel the final capitulation,
