A dispatch from Shanghai says the bombardment of Port Arthur Is still In .progress. No definite word is received as toi the outcome, which Is waited with anxiety. A great mass of conflicting reports of losses on both sides is be ing constantly received, somo of which are palpably absurd. A lack of definite information Is particularly noticeable. This Is ac counted lor by soveral who assert that Japanese vessels aro In all prob ability spread along tho coast of Ko rea covering the movements of troops throughout the Korean peninsula to ward tho north, where tho first stilt encounter with the Russians Is ex pected. It is always possible, also, that owing to the difficulty of transmit ting the news Information of the op eration of the Heets Is being held up. Shanghai Is the most prolific In re ports which aro generally groundless. One report earlier than tho abovo, says that Port Arthur has fallen bo fore thu Japanoto onslaught. It gavo alleged details, stutlng-that a number of battleships and crulBora had been demolished and the re mainder put to flight. The report Is generally discredit i'l among tho well informed, as it seems hardly possible that Port Ar thur has been overcome In such a short time. Later reports tell of a steady bom bardment which seems mora prob able. Another report emanating from Tien Tsln, says that Hakodate, tho most northern of tho Japanese Islands, is being shelled by tho Rus sian fleet. This Is also disbelieved, as It is known that a strong Japanese flppt Is posted near there, , Home for Repairs. Yokohama, Feb. 12.
