Cheefoo, By Cable.—That a general land and naval attack waa made on Port Arthur Monday la indicated by Information from various sources. The statement that the naval attack waa made at tour o'clock hi th* morn ing comes’from authoritative but not diplomatic quarters. Junks which arrived hero say the Japanese occupied the Uauti HUH and Sushlon, which la two or three miles north of the fortress. Five warships sad seven torpedo boat destroyers, according to the junks, returned to Port Arthur the night of August 10. Junks which arrived here, having left Port Arthur August U, brought reporta that the Japanoie occupied new positions on that day. The Sghtlng was heavy but intermittent, and Indicated that the ssaanlt waa be ing continued. The Russians at Port Arthur are reported to bo down hearted. The men who came on the junks declare that the commander of the Japanese fleet before Port Arthur Informed the Russian commander of the place that If the wrashlpe which returned after the sortie of August 10 were sunk by the Russians the Jap anese would shell the town with lyd dite. ▲ Chinese who has returned bare from Liao Yang declared that the casualties in the recent lighting In that vicinity have been enormous an both sides. Toklo, By Cable.—Vice Admiral Kamimura encountered the Russian Vladlvostock squadron at dawn Sun day. north of Tau bland. In the Strait of Koprea, and attached the enemy at once. The battle lasted for five hours and resulted In a complete Jap anese victory. The Russian crclaer Rurih eras sunk and the erubfirsR^w ■In and Grombhoi fled to the north ward after having sustained serious damage. Admiral Kamimura cables the Navy Department that the Injuries Inflicted upon hts vessels were alight. The fate of the crew of the Rurtk b not known. It U presumed that many of them were killed or drowned. Th* strength of the fleet under Ad miral Kamimura la not known, but it b presumed that he bad the Albu ms, Idaumo, Iwate, Takas hi ho and other light cruisers. Toklo b joyous over the news, as It gives Japan mastery of th* eea and restores commerce. nags are firing, lanterns are glim mering and cries of “Banzai!" are ringing In the streets of Toklo In hon or of the victories gained at eea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral Kam imura. TJndaraeath th* jollity of the popu lace lies a feeling of deep satisfac tion sad gratification at th* disposal of a desperately serious problem of the war. The Russian squadron | which confronted Admiral Toro re futed battle. It waa stronger than Admiral Togo's squadron In battle ships and armored cruisers, and had It elected to fight, the result might have altered the fortunes of war. The strength of the squadron which confronted Admiral Togo compelled him to draw vessel i from the squad roc under Vice Admiral Kamimnra, and this left the Japanese nary pow erless to operate against the Russian Vladlvoitock squadron and unable to prevent the raids of these Tassels. The raid conducted by the Vladi vostok squadron In July was ex tremely expensive to the Japanese, and not only waa ratalllatioa tempt ing, but It was demanded by commer cial Interests. The navy, however, grimly refused to make a diversion and stuck to Foil Arthur. It was confident that the harbor soon would | be untenable for the Russian war ships, that It would eventually get a fair fight la the open sea away from the Russian land batteries, and that the Japanese would win. These cal culations of the navy were correct, and the Russians, with the'chances even, have been hopelessly defeated. Vice Admiral Kamimnra, after months of weary and patient waiting, finally got hla chance at dawn today off Tsu Island. He sunk the Haitian cruiser Rurlk and sent the cruiser* Oromobot and Rossis fleeing back from the fight Japanese guns dominate the dock yards at Port Arthur, and In view of this fact It would seem to be impos sible again to make seaworthy or flgb table the Russian battleships which have returned to Port Arthur. It la probable that the Ruaaian batue ahlp Csarevitch will disarm at Tslng cbou. The beat possible naval force the Russians can now concentrate at Vladlvostock la four cruisers. In the fight of August 10 the squad; ron, under Admiral Togo, was prac tically uninjured. The battleship Ml kasha suffered the most, but she coc tinuee on the fighting line. The cruisers Takumo, Mlsshlnl and Kan go ware hit. but repairs have al ready been made. Eleven wounded officers and M wounded men arrived at Sasebo Sunday. The steamer Oaetlc, bound for Shanghai, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, sighted a Russian cruiser, evidently the Norik, steering south east by east This course showed her to be heading for Van Diemen Strait. Van Diemen Strait la about 1M miles south of Nagasaki anC. it would be presumed from the Norik’s going in this direction that she proposes to try and reach Vladlvoetock by the east coast of Japan. Bombardment for Pour Days SL Petersburg, By Cable.—The Em peror has rocevcd the following din patch from Viceroy Alexieff. dated August 13th: "According to a report from Port Arthur. August 10. the Japanese at tacked Taku and Blaohou Mountain in enormous force during the night of August 9th, and occupied them af ter It hours' fighting on the night of August 10th.
