(N. C. Daily News) Russian Mines Anchored in the ligh Seas.

Newchwang, 28th July, The C. N. S. Hunan yesterday, bound from | Chefon to Newchwang, observed a flating mine thirty miles west of Port Author.

She lowered a brat and found that the mine was securely anchored in the ocean highway.

A duplicate captured by the Japanese was seen by me in Sascho last week. There were five glass tub detonators at the foot of a long projection.

Russian casualties were numerous.

The army is now stationed at a point about two and a half miles from the enemy.

A European who left Port Arthur on the 29th ul. and arrived at 1 dngchou states that the Japanese troops occupied two forts at Lanlung- tou on the 27th ult.

They retired on the 29th, when the Russians re-occupied the forts, but the Japanese seized them again, taking a roundabout way from the west, and cutting off the retreat of the Rus- sians, many of whom in the confusion were drowned in the sea.

The Japanese troops on the 28th it. had reached a point four miles north-east of Port Arthur,

A number of Russian refugees, who left Port Arthur on the 2nd, arrived here yesterday and reported that the japanese troops are close to Port Arthur.

The captain reported the location of the wine and the Japanese promised to destroy it im- mediately and left heading for it.

[It will perhaps he remembered that it was reported some time ago that the Russians were : buying all the Janks' anchors they could get in

While the Japanese destroyers were engaged in blockading work at Port Arthur, twelve Rus sinn destroyers and four torpedo-boats, with gunboats, allempted on Monday evening to pass Liaol shan.
