EXTENDING THE FORTIFICATIONS. The whole fortress is being reconstructed on a new and unknown plan. The fortifications are being extended beyond their old limits, and the labourers and overseers are selected with the greatest care. The old redoubts are not destroyed, but all useful material in them has been moved to other sites, in the construc tion of the fortifications great attention bas usen paid to the selection of the best positions whence a plunging fire can be concentrated on the passages through the hills in front, and, in order, to attain this end, constant practice-fring is carried op. The landward side is 'protected by long-range guas mounted in excellent forts, At one point alone there are 120 guns. On the seaward side rows of guns are visible-many of these guns were taken from the Russians, Trial-firing is carried on more and more fre quently m'night with the help of reflectors, and, to assist the gunners, a whole series of signal stations has been erected on the bills,
At the bottom of both harbours, and out along the sea-coast up to a distance of two miles from the fortress, some sort of work is is being carried on; perhaps mines are being
laid.
All the way to Mukden' strategic positions are being selected and prepared, and strategic jumske gap kaḥng run through the mountains.
As for Dalay, it is strongly fortified on the landward side, "the entire environs of the
fortress "positions, and guns have been village of Loukku baving been converted into

Ute Russians were in possesion of it. The enormous barracks in Port Aubur and Daley jare full of troops, and great siotes of grain, fodder, beans, etc, bave been collected. There has lately appeared iq, Daloy a peculiar four wheeled cast-iron platform for carrying field -guns of the largest calibre.
To the fortified points of Port Arthur and Dalny special railway branch lines have been built from the main railway.
Large parties of Japanese officers come fre- quently from Japan to study the ground, dat paly at Port Arthur and Dalny, but in Mukden and Liaoying, Lately many troops have come, and have all gons in Makden-Pall Mall Gasefie,
