"The Japanese positions at several points are only 8I» paces distant from ours and must be considered to be definitely occupied by the enemy. The general position causes a great tension on both sides. "Alarming news has been received from Port Arthur, but the absence of reports during the last few days makes It evident that the movement of one of the other Rtnudan armies will be dependent upon the course of event* there — u$ . * • * “Lately scouts on our right flank attempted to pierce the line of the Japa nese fortification*, but were met with a stubborn resistance and. finding the enemy strongly reenforced, retired."

An Infantry and cavalry force advanced from the direction of SlaokaitML The force satloosd there repslsed them, and the Russians retreated to

• It Is mooted that Lord Lanadowne Oftly spoke so openly at the Guildhall banquet because be had good reason to believe that Mr. Roosevelt contemplated making an effort to bring the belligerents In the far east to dlscuM term* of peace. Lord Lanedowne'a remarks are held by those a bis Adence to mean that, whatever the United States may do In the matter, Oreat Britoln will cooperate, even In the event of France net participating. An official dispatch received from the headquarter* of the Third Japanese ararto the field, before Port Arthur. say* that by a general stack on *fce eastern fortified ridge the Japanese Stave galrjid the moata of the principal £orts assailed.

WILL FIGHT TO RITTER END.

Statement at _ ^ WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-"Russia will pursue the war to the far the bitter end—that Is, until Russia baa conquered." These are the opening words of an emphatic statement made at the Una ftian embassy by Couut Caaslui. the Russian ambassador. Several times recently the ambassador in tbe name of Hla government baa categorically denied tbe poMlblllty of any Intervention to the war, but th# recurrence of ru- * that the power* contemplated mediation baa caused tbe ambaaasdor to reiterate on behalf of hla government la position regarding Intervention or mediation of any kind. The sutement continues: "Hnsala can no more admit of Interference than Groat Britain could In the Transvaal or than could the United Bate* In her war with Spain. Where the prestige of a country is at sake all other consideration* are and must be put aside Some people may think that financial difficulties will Influence Russia to end hostilities. Such an opinion Is based on the false aasnmptioo of Russia'* financial resources."
