While this movement was going on infantry of the Third brigade moved forward from Taku mountain in an effort to flank the table lands on the easterly side and thus weaken the defense of the Russian fortress. A tremendous artillery lire from all the hills captured by the Japanese was concentrated on the extreme southern forts so as to prevent their taking part effectively in the struggle for possession of the westerly hills. Rome, Nov. 28.—The Gionale Cli Romi has a dispatch from Tokiq reporting that the general attack on the Port Arthur fortifications, which began oil the night of Nov. 2G, has been partially successful. Three forts have been destroyed, but the Japanese losses are reported to have been nearly 7,000.

The first bulletins came into Tokyo Sunday morning announcing that after seven hours of fighting with a series of successes and defeats the Russians had succeeded in repulsing the geueral assault and that while the Japanese forces had taken several important redoubts and driven the.enemy from fortified terraces they found it impossible to retain their positions because of the enfilading fire and the accurate marksmanship of the Russian sharpshooters iu the trenches above. Y The general attack continued Sunday, General Nogi sending his troops from positions east and west of the Taku and Etsze forts. A bulletin received at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon announced that Generals Nakamura and Saito, leading specially trained bodies of swordsmen, had charged the Russian intrenchments on the second chain of hills and had engaged the Russians in a hand to hand encounter. This charge by the Japanese probably resulted in great loss, as before they could reach the second line of the Russian fortifications guarding the westerly side of Port Arthur they had to come within the sweep of the rapid fire guns on what are called the Peiyu slopes, which are the last line of intrenchments facing the city Cash on hand !
