Headquarters of the Japanese Army Before Port Arthur, via Fusan, Dec. 31.—Rihlung fort, captured Thursday, is the largest and strongest of the eastern fort ridge. Tunnels for mines were cut through solid rock and two tons of dynamite were used to blow up the walls. The spectacle was mag- nificent and the work of the assault- ers was splendid. Half the garrison was killed by theexplosion of the first charge. The remainder of the Russians made a stubborn resistance. Four heavy guns, seven-rapidfirers and two machine guns were captured, as well as thirty quickfiring guns which were stored in the fort. According to the statement of three prisoners, the defenders of Fort Rih- lung numbered = about some sailors. A majority of the de- fenders were killed. DESPAIRS ' OF RELIEF.
