Russian Reconnaissance Bril- liantly Carried Out. London Cable — A despatch from Tokio to a news agency says: "A strong Russian force made a sortie from Port Arthur the afternoon sof Sept. 18, and at- tacked the Itze}ta.n fort, which was re- cently captured by the Japanese. Fight- ing lasted some }lours, and the Russians eventually were repulsed with heavy loss" The report is not confirmed; in fact it is doubted if the Japanese ever held the fort mentioned. The Chefoo Tele- graph says thatletters om r their Tus- bands reeeived here by the wives of offi- cers at Port Arthur say that the naval guns a .•t Liao-Tishan are nearly worn out by incessant firing. It is added that a ship recently ran ,the blockade, bringing a submarine boat in section,. Nobody in Port Arthur understands submarine boats, but some of the officers and crew of the Peresriet volunteered to operate the craft. Two veiled ladies from Port Arthur brought a letter to, Chefoo. Their more - menta are mysterious. The weather has suddenly changed and become intensely cold. The Port Arthur gaarison is undergoing severe hard- ships. GUARDS FOR THE FRONT.
