THE WAR.
JAPAN ANNOYED WITH CHILL Thera is much resentment in Tobib at Chili’s disposition to sell warships to Russia and the Government has been urged to inform Chili that Japan will claim an indemnity and retaliate on the first opportunity. Seven escapees from Port Arthur reached Chefoo in an open boat, despatches. General Stoessel states that the watertight compartments were opened months ago on the warships, and they were half submerged. In this way they sustained the Japanese fire without injury to the engines, though the upper works were destroyed. The guns are ashore. The list seen on the vessel is the result,of the ships being sunk in shallow water and swaying according to the current. If Port Arthur is captured the vessels can easily be destroyed. French despatches from Mukden state that Russian cavalry repulsed the Japanese turning movement on the left bank of the Koenbon.
