PT ait TKER News Received in Rome from Tokio Says First Line of the Besieged City’s Forts Was Captured After Feeble Resistance. Rumor That Garrison in Russian Stronghold Had Made Offer to Sur-' render If Permitted to Proceed Under Arms to Newchwang. LONDON, June 4.—Fighting outside Port Arthur has begun in earnest, according to despatches received here to-day. | It seems almost certain that the Japanese are pressing the Russians hard in the rear of the besieged city and that the Mikado’s troops are being massed into one great army for the storming of the fortréss. One despatch received by the Central News Agency from its Rome correspondent says that the first line of Port Arthur forts has fallen, This news was received in Rome from Tokio. It is not official, and because of | its source is not generally credited. Says Position Was Easily Taken. This despatch, which is printed in the Giornale d'Italia in Rome, says that the Japanese took this position of vantage after a feeble resistance on the part of the Russians. The correspondent at Tokio of the news agency Liberas says that four divisions of Japanese troops have occupied Kwantung Heights, on which they emplaced heavy artillery dominating Port Arthur. The same correspondent adds that the Russian squadron attempted a sortie, but was forced to return, being threatened by the Japanese fleet. According to a despatch from Shanghai the Russians are taking the of- fensive and are pushing the fighting hard. Gen. Kuropatkin has been se- verely criticised for his alleged inactivity, and it is believed here that he has become very active and will force the fighting, if not at Port Arthur, where he is greatly outnumbered, at Mukden. The Japanese have been reported north of Mukden for several di ive Days’ Severe Fighting Reported. The Shanghai correspondent cables as follow: Five days’ severe fighting has taken place at Wafangtien. The Russians are employing 4,000 carts to remove their munitions from Liaoyang to Kaiyuen (north of Mukden), and trains are now running be- tween Taschichiao and Kaichow. On May 31 32,000 carts containing fodder and munitions passed through Taschichiao on the way toward Kaichow. Fifteen thousand Russian troops and twenty-three nurses have passed through Taschichiao in the course of the past three days on the way to Kaichow. It 1s reported that Gen. Mistchenko has despatched 4,000 men of the Imperial cavalr7 guards from Kwanschengtsu for the purpose of cutting off the Japanese at Pitsewo. Say Great Assault Is Begun. | From Liaoyang, under date of yesterday, there is a despatch to the effect that heavy cannonading has been heard from the south and that there are persistent rumors there that the great battle of Port Arthur is In progress. Continuing, the despatch says: “Gen. Kuroki’s outposts now hold the line at Liaopudza, Soliudian and Chanlidzy. The Japanese forces disembarking at Takushan have reached Ulaossa. A division of the guards forms the connecting link between Ulaossa and Fengwangcheng. “The Japanese landings at Pitsewo, Liaotung penirsula, continy The Standard correspondent at Tokio telegraphs: “A rumor is clr- culating, principally in foreign circles here, that Gen. Stoessel, commander of the Port Arthur forces, has proposed to surrender on condition that the whole Port Arthur garrison be permitted to proceed under arms to Newchwang. “The story is discredited in well-informed circles, and is probably a Russian feeler.” RUSSIANS TO ATTACK COREAN TOWN. SEOUL, June 4—6 P. M.—The Commissioner of Customs at Gensan, Corea, wires that a Russian attack on that place is deemed imminent. He is making preparations to send the women and children to a mountain monastery, twenty miles distant. A junk has reported that the Russians have landed field pieces at Sha River, near Ham Heung (north of Gensan, on Broughton Bay, or the Gulf of Corea), at which place Cossack reinforcements are expected. SIX COSSACKS KILLED, 22 WOUNDED. ST. PETPRSBURG, June 4—The War Office has received news of a sharp fight twenty miles north of Saimatsza (north of Fengwangcheng), June 1, in which six Cossacks were killed and twenty-two wounded. The Japanese losses are not known. Five companies of Gen. Rennenkampft'’s Cossacks discovered Japanese detachments at Fen-Ohou-Ling Pass, half way between Saimatsza and Ajiudjan. The Cossacks dismounted and attacked on foot, but owing to the dif- cult nature of the ground and the strong defensive position held by the enemy and the latter's stubborn resistance, the attack was not Pressed and the Cossacks drew off.
