The news which is slowly coming to hand of the days preceding the fall of Port Arthur- fact which some native newspapers and officials, with amazing obstinacy profess even now to doubt-presents us a startling picture of entire lack of organisation, of stupendous locapacity and criminal recklessness, which is simost incredible. But our authority in the North anquesitonsble that the following statements may he recorded the fullest credence. After the fall of Tallenwan, Captain Calder, the ar- bour master at Past Arthur, saw with the grow. lag anraliness of the on-called defenders, that the fabric was tottering, and he determined to take his wile away and then make an effort to enlighten the high authorities concerning the rottenness of the system to which they were

TIENTSIN, November 29th,
Si ce last w-Ping; the news from Port Arthur has been fully confirmed. Those who have visited the place since its capture by the Japanese, report that about 13,000 Chinese, and about 15.coo Japanese were engaged in the battle and that shit 2,000 of the former were killed while the killed and wounded on the other side only amounted to about 200. On entering the fort the Japanese found everything int ct--
thing destroyed One report says that some of the shell found were filled with beans--which must be taken for what it is worth. Such of
unknown, We nwalt with some anxiety the next the Japanese as were not wanted for holding the fort, have heen re embarked, destination
move of the "ever victorious [Japanese) army. Conjectares are many as to their next landing place.
In the meantime, we heard two days ago that a rebellion had sgain broken out in the region about Chaoyang, the sime section in which there was trouble two years ago. It is asid to be of much grester proportions than the former one." If all thor In true, there is so much dissatisfaction all through the country that this may be the beginning of serious internal troubles.
