THE WAR.
FORT ARTHUR.
From the Cheloo Daily News of 27th ulti--. The Japanese army attacking Port Arthur ist stated to be divided into three divisions, one operating from the cast, Another moving from the west, and a third held in reserve in the north. It is aduited by the Japanese that the casualties up to the present time amount to fifteen thousand. The advance guard on the cast has pressed along on the Daley Road, between two forts still occupied by the
Russians, to a village called Chow Chang Kuo, one mile from the east basin at Port Arthur. Light days ago they were driven out of this position, but it is believed that they are now maintaining their ground. The main body is preparing to follow the advance troops.
From the westward the scoops are stated to be about fifteen hundred yards from the new town of Port Arthur, but their further progress in this direction is impeded by the shelling of the Russian ships in the harbour.

London, August 23.
The Japanese troops new before Port Arthur are stated on good authority to number 45,000, Reserves are stationed at Dalny and Pitzuwo, which are drawn upon as necessary. It is stated to be the aim to keep the attacking forces up to the number stated, and 25,000 men are at Dalny and 20,000 at 'Pitzuwo.
THE REMNANT OF THE PORT ARTHUR FLEET. The Japan Times states that the latest intelligence received in official quarters at Tokio is to the effect that the remnants of the Port Arthur fleet are now at anchor in the harbour under cover of the fonts. Judging from the fact that small steamers are being sent, from time to time, to the mouth of the barbour in order to clear it from any obstacles, the Russian warships will make a sortie' when Part Arthur falls, instead of surrendering to the Japanese. It may be remembered that the strength of the Russian navy in that harbour consists of five battleships and two cruisers.

Weihaiwel, 27th August, The annual regatta, which has just beca completed, has proved one of the most suc ceasful ever held on this station, On Tuesdays the 16th, we tried to inake a commencement by sailing the race for the Rear-Admiral's Cup in which there are six distinct first, second, and third prizes awarded to boats in their classes, and two cups, one to the first double-banked boat, and one to first single-banked boat over the line. The winning boats must be sailed by midshipmen. The wind failed and the race had to be called off. Therefore the opening of

On Monday general drills were gone through as usual, and the regalta was resumed on Tues- day in the forenoon. The Vengeance won the junior officers' obstacle race, but was disquali fied by touching the Glory's boat, so that the cup weet to the Centurion, who had lodged the complaint, although their boat was about 100 yards ahead at the time of the Glory's and Pengeance's boats touching. The mistake was owing to the fact that some of the crew put out their hands to push her off, The Amphitrite was second, and the Andromeda third.” In the afternoon the seamens' 14-dared obstacle race was decided over a rather longer and more difficult course: Results Ocean ; Cressy 2; Amphitrite 3. This was a clever win for the Ocean, as she did not pull no well as the Cressy's boat, but out-witted everything in her sailing. The 12-oared cutters' obstacle race went to Centurion. In these races the clever sailing, smartness of boats' crews, and order of -things in general, were put to the severest test, The boats started with their anchors down, and on the gun being fired, weighed anchor, up masts, and sailed to a point about one mile to windward. After rounding buoy the mast was taken in, and the boat pulled down about half a mile. Upon rounding another buoy they again made sail, this time with beam wind, and then rounded another buoy, about half-a- mile. The mast was then taken down and the awning spread and the men pulled home, about a mile, the whole course being about three mites, and almost triangular. On the
