JAPANESE RECRUITS. Advices from Mukden state that many of General Kuroki’s reinforcements are raw recruits. The garrisons at Takushan, Fenghuancheng, Yingkow and a position of Liaoyang, have been replaced by less efficient troops. Japan’s main efforts are directed against Port Arthur, DOGGED RESISTANCE OF RUSSIANS. Reuter’s Tokio agent reports that the Japanese captured 203 Metre Hill, commanding the harboui, during a night attack. Ninety per cent of Port Arthur has been captured. General -akharofif reports that a blinding snowstorm suspended the attack at Sinkhatchen, though the Japanese were within 600 paces of the Russian position. The turning movement was subsequently checked. The Times says that Japan has gained far more that Russia through the willingness of British shippers to ship, the owners having undertaken risks with contraband.
