PORT ARTHUR
順旅 Lu-shun
Port Arthur, at the point of the "Regent's sword," or Liaotung Peninsula, was. formerly China's chief naval arsenal, but was captured in the Japanese war and its defences and military works destroyed. In 1898 Russia obtained a lease of Port Arthur and Talienwan and is now rapidly fortifying the former and making it into a great naval stronghold. It is being connected by the Manchurian Railway with the Trans-Siberian Line, and was connected by cable with China in 1900.
