Unless the reported attacks upon the fortifications at Port Arthur are considered of importance, there Law, so far as actual fighting is couceruetl, been a continuation of the lull iu operations iu the wnr between Bustiia and Japan during the week past. That the Japanese are to cqutinue their efforts to take Port Arthur seems certain, and the most . important news in this con nection is aVetort that cholera, the deadly: scourge of Oriental coun tries, has broken out there. The St Petersburg officials neither affirm nor deny this report, but ad t wit that it is wot unlikely that sick ness has appeared, owing to the ..extremely unsanitary conditions prevailing, by reason of the great number of unburied bodies. Re ports from outside sources picture the conditions about Port Arthur as being horrible in the extreme. It is said that little, if any, attempt is made to bury the dead or attend the wounded, owing to the disre . gard of the flag of truce by both ju-nries, and neither can do much ttlong this line in the face of the ..galling fire which is generally kept up. This return to conditions of 4arbariiy is not surprising when one considers the fierce fighting .which has been going on there for jthe past two or three months. By reason of the trials of both be sieged and btsiegeis it is not Un likely that the no-quarter idea has taken possession oi the men, no matter how fair may have been their action in jthe beginning. There was even less news than usual during the past week regard ing the positions of the two forces at Port Arthur, but it is apparent that the Japanese have not yet taken any of. the last Hue of forti fications. If it is true that cholera ' ' has broken out in the city, it would " ".jJjBeem that all the Japanese need to do is to wait for the fortress to fall, as this Eastern enemy of mankind .' ja WProe than the most terrible en . v! tgitie8 6f destruction that man can : invent, and sooner or later the wnite flag woujd be run up over the fortifications so long defended by General Stoessel and his brave garrison. The Japanese will not be likely to adopt a waiting atti tude as long as there seems any likelihood of taking the strong hold by storm because the little brown fitfhterf uiuat settle them selves for a .winter in a climate ' where the thermometer ranges around 40 degrees below zero for quite a lengthy period of time. In order to do this it is necessary to push the Russians out of Mukden : and it would be well if the besieg ing force about Port Arthur could be used to aid in this operation The Russians will not trive ud Mukden without a fight, and they will also make a stand to protect the coal mines in that vicinity which furnish fuel to the Manchur- ian Railway, but even St Peters burg is not overly confident that they would not give up both rather than risk a rdecisive engagement Within a little less.'- than two moriths cwld.weatlir'iif expected to close down on ha'operations, and then both arnries"will doubtless do well to keep in good form until pring opens. There will, how- over, doubtless be occasional fights, f and re-inforcements will be kept on the move. " It is hiuUd at St Petersburg that the Russians expect the tide of war to turn when is not stated in such a manner that the Japanese will gradually be driven back over the route wLich they have come and on' dowu. through Korea and, pre sumably, into the sea, as .was first threatened. This assumption is doubtless based on the idea that the resources of Japan have been well-nigh exhausted. There is no outward indication that this is the case, but, if so, it will probably be the only way in which the Rus sians will get the advantage ; they certainly are no match for the Jap anese in fighting either on laud or sea, and it is a question of the pos session of the sinews of war as to whether the Orient shall be left to itself or whether, the Czar of all the Russias shall dominate.
