WAR IN THE EAST.
Wednesday's daily says :—On Satan
day, July 80, the Japanese ocoupi d the
Wolf Hills, a strong position noir six
miles North of Port Arthur. This 'e ,the
effect of an official despatch to St Peters-
burg, via Vioeroy Alexieff at Maniere
from General Btoeeeel, the commandant
of the great fortress. It is a bami;iating
confession for biro to be compelled to
make after his despatoh declaring
that on July 26, 27 and 28 he repulsed
the enemy with enormous lessee, placing
their oaenalitiee, on the atetemente of the
Chinese, at 10,000. The attack at the
point where they were beaten with the
alleged terrible losses, it now appears,
was only a feint, and when the real
attack was made on the Wolf Hills by
five divisions of Japanese," General
Btoeeeel, in view of the enemy's "error•
moue superiority," ordered his troops "to
retire to the next positions without
fighting," and thio, he Bays, woe affeoted
in (template order. In other words, as at
the Yalu River, Kioobow, Teliseu,Tatch
ekiao, Bimuaoheng, they were onrfongbt
and ontmauceovred, and thus compelled
to abandon positiooe of great importance.
General Btoeseel says the Japanese forces
against him on July 26 and 27 consisted
of seventy thousand men. The large
number of Japanese operating against
Port Arthur seems to stagger the General
staff at St. Petersburg, whioh body ex•
plaice that the Wolf Mlle, "consist of a
long crest of hills offering a great ods
vantage owing to their proximity to the
fortrage." What has happened since
July 80 2 Ohefoo despatches, whioh in
fairness, it must be stated, asserted some
days ago that the Japanese had taken the
Wolf Hills have sloes antlered diet the
Japanese have broeght their trenohee
within two thirds of a mile of the main
defenoee, and that as soon as the siege
guns are monoted they will sweep the
harbor and compel the Russian fleet to
go out and give battle to Admiral Togo.
This is not unlikely. The Japanese as
yet have nothing to say reepeoting the
operations, but the eorreepondent of the
timer at Tokio learns on the hest author.
Hy that there is no truth whatever in the
Rnseian rumors of Japanese reverses with
heavy losses.
The despatch from . Viceroy Alexieff,
published yesterday, embodying "tele-
grams" from Port Arthur, asserting that
a Japanese battleship was put oat of
action, a cruiser sunk and a gunboat
injured in a naval engagement on Any
26, is not worthy of credence. Reports
from Admiral Togo, Covering evens up
to August 5, on whioh day there was a
lively fight between torpedo bone, have
been published, and they mention no
losses. In the past Admiral Togo bas
not besitated to report naval digesters.
The milking of the battleship Ilatsose
and the ioniser Yoebino, off Port Arthur,
and of a third•olese praiser in Tatienwan
Bay were not held book by him and there
is no reason to believe that be fa biding
anything now. Tire sonroe of Alexieff's
"telegrams" from Port Arthur is not
clear. Judging by the difference be
tweet the date of the events they deal
with and their arrival at St. Petersburg,
they travel by a circuitous route,
Probably Ohitless and European refugees
from the fortress start them ou their
jonraey.
There is no change, it is reported, in
General Kuropatkin'`position.
