MTTLEATPOEXAKTHUR ftELIABLE DETAILS OF THE ENGAGE- iwtr I Mnmvc ot oiuuncn. Twenty-four Honrs of Fighting to Cap ture the Chinese Stronghold Jfo lCe slstance. Jnpanese Vengeanco Itrcaks Over Restraint. The fall of Port Arthur was undoubt edly known in America before the news was circulated in Japan. After the an nouncement that the magnificent Talien fortifications had been abandoned by the Chinese without a serious struggle, it was hoped that a few days would bring intelligence that the last blow on the Iiao-tung peninsula had been effec tively struck; but for more than a week the Japanese people were kept in sus pense and fierce excitement while the a! a Tumi tt An v V5 n 4-1 rvn a eP f3an oin1 Or. ama and the co-operating fleet were finally adjusted. Up to the middle of November the military movements had been controlled by Lieutenant General Yamagi, a soldier of high reputation, whose popularity is enhanced by the knowledge that he has only one eye with which to order the course of bat tle. Under his leadership every strong hold but one was reduced, the troops engaged numbering about two-thirds of the entire body of which the second army is composed. To give additional weight to the culminating stroke, the remaining regiments were finally ad vanced and the whole mass was directed for the first time by General Oyama. Preliminary skirmishes took place outside the walls of Port Arthur on the 19th and 20th of November, but the ac tual assault did not begin until dawn on the 21st, when an attack upon the rear of the fortifications was made in full force. The garrison, supposed to num ber from 13,000 to 20,000, having now no refuge to fly to, made a short at tempt at resistance, but by 8:30 o'clock the heavy batteries at the west were carried by the Japanese right, and the line of fortification broken through. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the central position of Port Arthur was occupied, and at 4 an interior group of fortresses yielded. While one division of Oyama's army was performing these exploits his left was overrunning an equally formidable set of works at the eastern extremity of the line. To this onset the Chinese gave way at 11:30 in the morning. A power ful cluster of forts on the shore re mained to be captured, and against these the Japanese hurled their columns -without cessation, until at daybreak on the 22d the entire mass of defenses was surrendered. The operation lasted but little more than 24 hours. The over throw was complete, and all the enor mous material collected for the support of this famous station fell to the dis posal of the victors. No attempt was made to remove or destroy any portion of the armament. The Japanese losses were something over 200 dead and wounded. No specific details have been received and the Chinese losses cannot yet be estimated. Japanese Break Over All Restraint. The following statement is author ized for publication by Mr. Mutsu, Jap anese minister of foreign affairs: "The Japanese government desires no concealment of the events at Port Ar thur. On the contrary, it is investigat ing rigidly for the purpose of fixing the exact responsibility, and is taking meas ures essential to the reputation of the empire. From the beginning of the war every conceivable precaution has been taken to guard against excesses. The discovery that discipline was unavail ing in this single instance shocks and grieves both the civil and military au thorities. The facts thus far gathered show conclusively: "First That the Japanese troops, transported with rage at the untii.iri-.-ii of their comrades by the enemy, broe through all restriiints. "Second That, further exairate-l by wholesale attempts at escr.n:; of soldiers disguised as citizens. Ihcy 1a " flicted vengeance without discrimina tion. "Third That detection on successive days of repeated Chinese atrocities re kindled the fury of the men and pro voked fresh acts of violence. "The Japanese government depldres the unexpected transgression of the prin ciples to which it was and always will be pledged. It feels bound, neverthe less, to protest against exaggerations . calculated to present the affair in a dis torted and misleading aspect. Proofs have already been received that the vic tims, almost without exception, were soldiers wearing the stolen clothes of citizens, who had fled in a body long be fore the assanlt and are now returning, trustful and confident. "While offering no palliation of what actually occurred, the Japanese govern ment holds to the conviction that there was absolutely no intention to molest non-combatants. The truth, the whole truth, shall be reported as soon as prac ticable. Meanwhile the government hopes that public opinion will be . guarded against extreme recitals. PERSONAL. Miss Virginia Mosby, the second daughter of Colonel Mosby of Confed erate fame, was married at Washington recently. Captain Morpain, who accompanied the Count of Paris to America in 1804, and M.

Advices from Apia, Samoa, of the date of Dec. 8 are to tho effect that the well-known novelist, Eobert Louis Ste venson, had died suddenly from apo plexy. His remains were interred on the summit of Pila mountain, 1,300 feet high. At tho time of his death Mr. Ste venson had half completed the writing of a new novol. Robert Lonis Stevenson was .consid ered the ablest and greatest writer of fiction of the present time. St-veral years ago he went to Samoa with his family, fell in love with the lazy life of the islands and remained there. He was bom in Edinburgh, Scot land, in 1843 and ROBERT L, BTBVENSOK.
