The Latest from Port Arthur.
Russia is not yet prepared to
accept the report that the Japanese
before Port Arthur have taken 203
Metre Hill, but if it is officially con
firmed the War Office admits that it
will be a desperate blow for the gal
lant defenders of the fortress. The
position commands the harbor and
if the Japanese can mount seige
guns on its summit they can force
out the Russian squadron or destroy
it at its anchorage. Those familiar
with the supporting plans of the
forts think it is by no means cer
tain that even though the Russians
are forced to retire from 203 Metre
Hill the Japanese can place in po
sition heavy guns against the fire
which the other forts can bring to
bear on it. Still the Russian offi
cials reluctantly agree that such a
breach in the chain renders the po
sitions extremely critical and
though the garrisen might be able
to hold out in the Golden Hill,
Tigers Tail and Liaoti forts for
some time it may mark the begin
ning of the end. The War Office
is convinced that with the approach
of the Russian second Pacific
squadron the Japanese considered
that the elimination of the Port Ar
thur squadron as a fighting factor,
was absolutely vital, thus accounting
for the reckless sacrifice of life in
order to secure a position directly
commanding the harbor.
