A.CHINESE REPORT,
Chefon, toth June, A Chinese, who has been employed at the dockyard at Port Arthur, has made the follow. ing report as to the conditios of the Russian shipa:-Of sine warships (battlesh'ps and cruisers) at Port Arthur, five are fit for service the rest not having been repaired. All the gous and niost of the marines have been taken ashore for the land defences. Only a few blue- jackets are left on board the five vessels which are fit for service. No smoke has been seen from any of these for a long time. Some mines were blown up near the station a few days ago and nine Russians were killed. There are nine or ten torpedo boats at Fort Arthur, two or three of which are scouting at the mouth of the Port. The number of Russian. soldiers at Fort Arthur is estimated afabout 15,000. Consternation prevails among the Rus- sian officers at the dockyard and those who came from Kwangtong, Chefoo, and Tientsin
have now returned. The officers from Harbin remain at Port Arthur. Many Russian work men at the port have been enrolled as soldiers. Only small jobs are done at the dockyard, no repairing of the warships being now carried out. Owing to the arrival of defeated troops; all the Russians at the port are in low spirits.
The Chinese have been ordered to supply -ten-pounds of provisions per day to the Rus- sians. The wheat in the fields is being used for the horses. Many Chinese coolies are employed every day is taking the guns to the batteries. Many mines have been laid about the dockyard.-Mainichi.

The Russian Consulate al Chefoo have set up a wireless telegraphic instalation, utilizing the flag pole and the high chimney on the roof for equipment. The apparatus is said to have been brought through Kiao-chau bay, by a Norwegian engineer, who is a naturalized Ger. man subject. A Russian, who was the chief engineer at Port Arthur and secretary of Viceroy Alexieff, helped in constructing it. This affair has caused a stir among the diplomatic officials and they are said to have protested to the Chinese authorities against the action of the

BLOWING UP JAPANESE SUNKEN SHIPS,
It is reported by natives who have escaped from Port Arthur that the Russians had con- siderable difficulty in removing the Japanese ships sunk at the entrance of Port Arthur to bottle up the Russian Beet there, owing to the hardness of the cement with which the sunken ships were loaded by the Japanese. This cement, it is said, is mixed with large quanti ties of granite and iron which rendered it almost impossible for the Russians to bare THE JAPANESE VICEROY AT SOUTH holes into it, in order to insert dynamite and

STRONG DEFENCE RUT IRRESISTIBLE ATTACK.

News. and the position of the Russians, as well as Jucid explanation of the scene of the fight
being an expert's critique of the battle. The following resume of the address, which was delivered before a distinguished audience, is from the Japan Times:-
"Nanshan stands midway between Kinchau and Dalny, and the isthmus there is only four kilometres wide. But Kinchau Bay, the water of which is shallow for some distance from the shore, can be waded, as was done by, the Chinese when we attacked Port Arthur ten years ago. Of course the shallowness of the bay is dependent on the state of the tide.

70. Emberiza ficata. A fairly common re- sident.
71. Emberiza spodocephala. Common in winter.
"Very strong forts had been constructed on the summit of Nanshan, but they were of a semi-permanent and not of a permanent nature. Permanent foris are always constructed. in times of peace, at great labour and expense, and their materials are iron, brick, stone, or congeete. Semi-permanent forts are usually constructed by engineering corps after the out- break of hostilities. The forts of Nanshan beriving in the beginning of February. saged to the latter category.
72. Emberiza aureola. An autumn visitant, but uncommon on the coast, though at Canton it is netted in vast numbers in September and October, and is known as the "rice-bird"
73. Melophus melanicterus. A common re- sident: it nests in May.
STRONGLY FORTIFIED.
"Some European authorities on fortifications now rather prefer semi-permanent forts to the permanent ones, which latter may possibly become totally useless according to the develop
ments of war. In fact, a certain country has dispensed with permanent. fortresses. We cannot say, of course, that Russia applied this theory to the defence of Nanshan, but as a matter of fact, Nanshan was strongly defended with forts of a semi-permanent nature.

The average value of gold 'per ton crushed was only about 48 peenyweights. Small as this amount is, it is satisfactory to note that Mr. Wamford Lock states that "the working costs have been reduced to $7.26 ur 3.25 penny weights per ton-figures which are surpassed by only one other large mine in the world." It is therefore very evident that we in the Federated Malay States are able to work low. grade properties at a profit.
In 1901 pearly a thousand tons less were crushed, than in 1903, yet the amount of bullion obtained in 1903 shows a decrease of 4,237 ounces. The manager writes on this subject as follows: "This falling off is not due to im- poverishment in depth, so much as to the fact that we are now milling practically everything as it comes without any picking and choos ing, and much of the stone broken is that which had been previously rejected as worth- 137.

It is a pleasure to record the fact that the Government and this company have agreed to sink a shast at their joint cost to a depth of 1,5coft.; if the results at intermediate levels between this depth and the present work- ings at Bukit Koman justify the expenditure. The Government are desirous of proving the existence of lodes in depth and the Raub Company are equally anxious to do so on their property, so therefore no better policy could be pursued than sinking this shaft, 148.
