SLOWLY APPROACHING INHER WORKS JAPS CLOSING IN ON PORT AR- THUR AND ITS FALL IS EX- PECTED DAILY. WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED. The Russian and Japaress armies remain in entrenched positions, main- taining desultory artillery duels with occasional small affairs alonz the ex- tended lines. Dispatches from the front give no explanation of the delay in renewing the fighting. A detailed oificial report of the oper- ations against Port Arthur, sent from Tokio, indicates that the Japanese are slowly approaching the inner works and St. Petershurg takes gloumy view of the situation there. prepared for the announcement of the fall of the fortr SIEGE DRAWING T0 A CLOSE PRESENT JAPANESE ASSAULTS LIKELY TO RESULT IN FALL OF PORT ARTHUR. St. Petershburg, Nov. 3.—Thg official reports from Tokio de: bing the des- perate assaults on Port Arfhur be- ginning Oct. 26 have created visible depression at the war office. The sus- tained <lm|a<.l.er of the bombiardment ¢ guns and the breaching of 5 h_,r underground mines, but above a'l the fact that the Japanese government after weeks of silence re garding the operations of the besiegers has given out these reports before actual stccess has crowned their forts, c nces the military suthort ties that after long preparations Gen- eral Nogi is not only makirg a su- preme effort to carry the for B teels so confident of succ result of the preliminary has been made public. The war office is trying to buoy up the Russian hopes with reference to the long and successful defense Gen- eral Stoessel has thus far conducted, but things have now reached such a pass with the garrison and the char- acter of the present attempt upon the fortress is evidently so determined that the authorities frankly admit they would not be surprised if the end was at hand. DESPERATE FIGHTING. Tokio Reports Operations in Front of Port Arthur. Tokio, Nov. 3.—The official reports of the Port Arthur operations since Aug. 1 form a recital of almost contin- uous fighting of a desperate mnature. The Russians first struggled desper- ately to block every Japanese advance and then met the concentrated artil- lery fire of the Japanese with its kind. Latterly since the japanese began run- ning parallels and traverses and ex- tending mines the Russians have been constantly making sorties. They rushed into the Japanese trenches and engaged in ferocious struggles with the engineers and ploneers. With desper- ate courage the Japanese continued to close in upon the fortress, progressing stage by stage. The Japanese infantry never failed to respond when asked to malke an assault on almost impossible positions and when the troops gained & foothold they generally held it with unflinching determination. MINOR ENCOUNTERS. Marshal Oyama Reports Several Small Engagements. Tokio, Nov. 3.—Manchurian head- quarters, in a report dated Nov. 1, says; “On the afternoon of Oct. 30, in front of the left detachment of the left army, a force of the enemy, consisting of a regiment of infantry, three regiments of cavalry and two batteries of artil- lery, advanced from Litewentun, Han- santai and then northward. “Our detachment succeeded in re- | pulsing the enomy. “Our detachment sustained only a slight loss, while the enemy’s cavalry lost heavily., Fifty of the Russians lost their horses. The Rissian cav- alry retreated in all directions and in disorder, leaving thirteen dead. “The left column of the left army on the night of Oct. 30 seized and burned a village about 400 yards north- west of Chenglienpac.” . LEFT TWENTY DEAD. Cossacks Repulsed in an Attack on Jap Cavalry. General Oku’s Headquarters, Nov. 1, via Fusan, Nov. 3.—There is little change in the positions of the Japanese and Russian armies. On Sunday last detachments com- posed of Russian infantry and bon Cossacks attacked the Japanese cay- { alry on the extreme left-along the Hun Fiver, but were driven back, leaving twenty dead soldiers and thirty horses. This is the ‘first time that the Cos- sacks of the Don have taken part in the operations. The Japanese line now follows the bank of the Shakhe river, except on the extreme left, where it crosses that river. Russians Suffer From Sniping. Geéneral Kuroki’'s Headquarters in the Field, via Fusan, Nov. 3.—When- ever a Russian or a Japanese exposes his head he draws the fire of an oppo- nent. A-constant exchange of shots between the outposts continues daily. i The Russlan casualties from sniping are large, LONDON PRESS ANGRY. | Assails the Government for Not Allay- Ing Fears of War. London, Nov. 3.—Tuesday’s attack of nervousness due to misinformed state- ments in the London newspapers has given way to extreme calm. Thé news- papers angrily assail the government for leaving Londomn to wrestle with its fears all day long when a word would have disposed of all the alarms and they suggested that if the admiralty would request Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beresford to refrain from “sur- prise mobilizations” and other inter- esting maneuvers during the next few days it would not only add to the tranquillity of the country but would smooth the way to a final settlement of the dispute. The day’s cabinet meeting excited bardly the slightest inferest on the part of the general public. -For the first time in many years the ministers met at the premier’s residence as Mr. Balfour is suffering from the blocking of a small superficial vein in his left leg, requiring compléte rest. All the ministers were present, Foreign Secre- tary Lansdowne coming in after hav- ing interviews with Ambassadors Benkendorft and Cambon, who were early visitors at Lansdowne house and the foreign oflice, respectively, The two ambassadors had previously met to discuss some points of detail in the formation of the international commis- sion, The cabinet sat for nearly a couple of hours, the subject of discussion be- ing details of the arrangement for the international commission. UNDERSTANDING IS COMPLETE. Amicable Settlement of North Sea In- cident Assured. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.—The Asso- clated Press can authoritatively an- nounce that the basis for the British- Russian agreement to submit the North sea incident to a commission insures an amicable settlement with- out a sequel. The understanding is complete, - In the heat of the excitement follow- ing the incident many false impres- sions obtained credence abroad. Now that the smoke has clearced away it is possible to state that Great Britain disclaimed any intention of trying to detain the Russian squadron, which could only be interpreted as a hostile act. It was never intimated to Russia that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s re- call would be demanded and Great Britain never asked Russia to pledge herself to the punishment of any one. The British government fully realized that officers of the Russian squadron may have acted with excess of zeal. The whole affair was a deplorable mis- take, but as a result of the inquiry, which will establish the facts, each government is expected to take appro- priate action without demands from éither side and no pledges have been requested or given by either country. WILL GO TO PARIS. Russian Officers Detached From the Baltic Fleet. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.—The Asso- ciated Press learns on high authority that the four naval officers Vice Ad- miral Rojestvensky detached from his squadron while at Vigo will not pro- ceed beyond Paris, whither Admira! Kazankoff has already gone to meet them. The names of the officers are Captains Clado and Shramchenkon and Licutenants Ott and Ellis, who were on duty on board the battleships com- prising the division which fired on the trawlers. AGAINST RUSSIAN LEFT WING. Japanese Show Signs of Assuming the Offensive. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.—General Sakharoff telegraphs that all is quiet, the Japanese,. however, showing marked signs of recommencing the of- fensive against the Russian left wing. They have also reoccupied the village of Sandiapu, near the Hun river, in front of the Russian right flank. - SPAIN AND GERMANY PROTEST. Their Claims Suffer by San Domi=go Arbitration Finding. San Domingo, Republic of Santo Do- mingo, Nov. 3.—The Spanish consul here, in bebalf of the Sparish govern- ment, also of the government of Ger- many, has presented a formal protest to the Dominican government and the American minister against the exe- cution of the arbitration firding in the claim of the Santo Domingo Improve- ment company of New York, asserting that the Spanish and German claims suffer by the finding. 3 It is rumored that two German war- shipe are expected to be summoned here by the Spanish consul in con- formity with the Spanish-German un- derstanding regarding the affairs of both nations in these waters. OTTOMAN LE‘GTTION AT ROME. Turkey to Take Advantage of France’s Withdrawal. Rome, Nov. 3.—Turkey, taking ad- vantage of the severance of relations between France and the Vatican, has instituted negotiations for the estab- lishment of an Ottoman legation ac- credited to the holy see. ‘While Cardinal Rampolla was the papal secretary of state an agreement was reached for the establishment of guch a legation, ‘hut France intervened on the ground that the republic was intrusted with--the protection of the Catholics in the East and the project was abandoned. NEW ERA IN RUSSIA. of Rioters Takes Place With Open Doors. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.—The Russian papers are devoting much space to the trial at' Gomel of those alleged to be responsible for the anti-Jewish riots there in September of last year, a thing almost unprecedented. The No- vosti, the Jewish organ, is especially gratified at the trial being conducted with open doors, declaring that this marks a new era on the part of .the governemnt towards the Jewish ques- tion. “Trial Fuel Gas Kills Two. Milwaukee, Nov. 3.—Mr. and Mrs. William Bleck, aged seventy-five and seventy-one, respectively, died during the day from inhaling gas which es: CONCESSION T0 JEWS RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT SOON TO AGREE TO AN AMERICAN REQUEST.

DENTIST BRUTALLY MURDERED. New Ulm, Minn,, the Scene of a Mys- terious Crime. New Ulm, Minn., Nov. 3.—Dr. L. A. Gebhard, a young dentist, was found brutally murdered, lying in pools of blood in his office about 10 p. m. A blood stained hammer and a knife were found near him; furniture was smashed and blood was sprinkled all over the room, indicating a terrible struggle. The safe was open, but noth- ing seemed to have been taken. Noise was heard in the ropm by oth- ers in the building, but it was attrib- uted to the moving of furniture. A visitor to Dr. Gebhard’s office found him. The murderer was evidently fright- ened away, for his escape had been made by jumping through a screen window. The mystery surrounding the affair is further increased by the high stand- ing, popularity and success of the mur- dered man. COLONEL FLAGG SUICIDES. Duluth Newspaper Man Jumps From Deck of Steamer. Duluth, Nov. 3.—Colonel Alfred M. Flagg, a well known newspaper man of the Northwest, committed suicide in a sensational manner. He was on the ferry steamer, which was crowded with people cr0:sing the Duluth sip canal to Miunesota point, when he suddenly drew a revolver, fired three shots in the air and then leaped over the rail. There was a panic among the peo Dle on the boat as a resuit of we shooting and the leap of the coicnel into the water. The engines were re- versed and the colonel was rescued with a pikepole, but too late to save his life. Colonel Flagg was fifty-two years old, a native of Ohio and a widower. Poor health was the reason for the rash act, HIGH PRICE FOR LEASE. Fifteen Hundred Dollars Paid for Min- nesota Mineral Land. St. Paul, Nov. 3.—The largest price ever paid for a state mineral lease in Minnesota was received during the day by State Auditor Iverson. J. H. Gruber of St. Paul, with three others as rivals, bid $1,500 for what is known as the south half of 1-58-49, lo- cated in St. Louis county, and the prize was knocked down at that figure. Gruber is a land clerk in the employ of the Great Northern road and the supposition is he was acting for his company. The lease, for which there were a number of applications, was started at , a collar more than the figure reyuinred by law and was lap- idly run up to Lhe figure it was finally sold for. MURDER AT MANKATO. Skeleton of Unknown Man Found In Clump of Bushes. Mankato, Minn., Nov. 3.—Mankato has a murder mystery. The bones of an unknown man was found four miles north of the city near the Chicago and Northwestern railway track, concealed in a clump of trees and bushes.

Y., Nov. 3.—A ter- rific explosion of dynamite which oc- curred here during the day caused in- Jjuries to about forty persons and did damage to property that is estimated at $100,000. It is feared that one life was lost. An Italian who was guard- ing the box containing the dynamite has not been seen since the explosion and it is believed that he must have been blown to atoms. “The box, containing 100 pounds of the explosive, was lying under a bridge which crosses the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road at Bond street.
