The Tokio correspondent of the Times says that the Japanese and}: was on All the Captured Heights Mined and For. tified. London cable, 4 a. m..' There is no otheial confirmation of the muons of the capture by the Japanese of forts at Port Arthur. There are numerous tuumieial versions, which, while practically concur. ring in their statements, regarding the losses on each side, locate and name the positions variously. The Morning Post's Tokio correspondent describes the forts as being on the heights in the vicinity of Talienw-an Bay. The Chronicle places the Chikwanshan fort in the centre of the Tiger Tail Peninsula, southwest of Port Arthur. Its 1'okio correspondent does not mention the other forts, but he suns that the Japanese are advancing to. wards Port Arthur on both sides of the Kwang-Tung Peninsula. The TeltgrtTh's Tokio correspondent quotes the Asahi as saying that the Japanese advancing from the eastward of Lantunlmshi hill took the lluhnnihan and Hsiteishan forts.

The Rus- slam tiereely resisted. but the Japanese artillery fire was overwhelming, and by evening they had secured all the coveted points. and the Russians retired on the inner defence of Port Arthur.

St. Petersburg cable, 1.30 p. m.-- The whole city is awaiting with breath. less interest news from the opposing armies in Southern Manchuria, grappled in the decisive batle of the campaign. But, those fully appreciating the almost impassable country through which the Japanese columns are advancing and the difficulty of moving large bodies of troops into position hardly expect the battle to begin in earnest inside of several days, although admitting that heavy fighting between the advance forces may now be in progress. The papers, with the exception of the army organ and the Nome \'remya, are unanimously of the opinion that a pitched battle is now cer- tain. The former is silent on the sub.. ject. which may he signitieant. espenially as General Kouropatkin s movements are shrouded in mystery. The Nome Tre. mya, says '. "The time for strategy is passed. We are now on the eve of tae- ties. Not knowing the exact position of our forces we eanot Mate what Kuro- patkin intends to do. It is possible he may consider it untimely and unpro- fitable to enter upon a deeisive engage- ment. of his forms. in which 1s'4'nc'. while engaging the enemy. who is pour- ing troops down upon him, he may re- tire northward to meet his reinforce- ments." The report that the Port Arthur squadron has sueeessfully put to sea and that no ship has actually been sunk seems to have removed the de~pondeney and developments on land and sea are looked forward to with increased ehcer- fulness. Confidemm is manifested in the influence the navy will have upon the campaign and many people are in- elined to attribute the Japanese preeip- iauey to get at Kouropntkin to the fact that the squadron at large threatens the Japanese army's sen. eonnnuniea- tionn.
