Semi-Weekly Harald TUESDAY, NOV. 22, 1904. Capitulation of Port Arthur. Rome, Nov. 19— A dispatch from St. Peters that the Czar asked Kur- opatkiu to request O/ama to facili tate the passage of a Russian envoy to Port Artur to dictate negotia tions for the capitulation of Port Arthur. 8 t. Petersburg, Nov. 19—Stoes- sel reports that in all attacks by the Japanese between Oct. 25th and Nov. 2nd they repulsed the enemy. The loss is estimated at between and 10 thousand. Oct. 30th Japn- ese were repulsed by a bayonet charge and the use of hand grenades. St. Petersburg, Nov. 19— A tel egram from Mukden says it is be. lieved there that an important bat tie began on the Shahke river, as echoes of terrific cannonading are heard at Muken. Tokio, Nov. 18.—A telegram from Noji reports tho destruction of an other Russian arsenal and magazine at Port Arthur. The Japanese dis covered it is said, the location of the arsenal and centered their artil lery fire upon it. After dropping 200 shells in the vicinity, they suc ceeded in blowing it up. The Japanese are widening their gaps and are using them to move their guns forward. The Russians continue their spirited* sorties, UBing hand gren ades in their attack upon the enemy. Hears That Guns are Wearing Out. London, Nov. 18.— The fact that tho Russian torpedo-boat destroyer RaHtoropny, which arrived at Chefoo Wednesday, left Port Arthur much later than the date of General Stoossel's published report, which relates nothing later than November 3 , is regarded as significant. Ap' parently, however, Tokio has not yet received as late news as is con tained in the report of Amerioan Consul-General Fowler at Chefoo, which was transmitted to the State Departmental Washington Wednes day. Special dispatches from Tientsin report a heavy bombardment of Port Arthur as late as November 12, and nightly sorties by small parties of Russians, who lose heavily by bayonet fights. These reports give no reliable details, but concur in statements that guns are wearing out and that the Russian ammu nition is becoming scarce. Negroes Ordered to Leave. W oodpeckers vs. Myrtle Point Items. The bazaar and social given by the Ladies' Presbyterian Aid So- ciety on the I 8 th, was a decided success. The 10-cent lunch proved to be a good square meal for a hungry man, and that it was well patronized at noon, at supper and after the program was evident by the depleted larder. The coffee was all that could be desired by any one, and so was all else. The recitation by Miss M. Hodge was a very able effort The drill by the little ones was very fuDny and by request was repeated. The scarf drill by seven young ladies was particularly pleas ing, several very pretty tableaux be ing evolved from tbe maze. The candy, all home-made, went like hot cakes, and the fancy work was pretty well sold out. As a result the ladles cleared about $80. Mr. M.
