July 16.' further official news regafng the ngement at Port Arthui to lack the night of July 10th Is puzzling. That the Japanese were heavily defeated is not doubted here, but In the absence of further Information, the extent of the dlsa ter that befell them Is begin ning to be seriously questioned. Definite news has. been received from Viceroy Alexieff's headquarters at Mukden, that the week before the engagement at Port Arthur, Major General Peck administered a severe defeat on the Japanese on July 4th and on July 5th, driving them from1 the helghta commanding Lunsantan pass, with a loss of 200. This Is regarded as proof that there has beeni heavy fighting before the fortress of Port Srthur, and the silence of Tokio re garding it is all the more significant.
