PORT ARTHUR ** 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. A number of dredging machines belonging to the Naval Department have commenced work with the purpose of deepening and widening the western part of Port Arthur harbour, which is to be altered to allow anchorage for battleships. It has also, been decided to construct a channel through the Isthmus of the Tigre Peninsula, so that in the near future Port Arthur will have direct communication with the sea, which will be of great importance for both military and commercial purposes. The Russian_budget for 1902 provides 5,200,000 roubles for the completion of the defence works at Port Arthur and Vladivostock.
