Position of Besiegers at Rihlung and
Keekwan Mountains is Most Premia
ing and Last Attack Was Made With
Design of Furthor Increasing Their
Power There.
CHE FOO, Nov. 29.—Chinese and
Japan el! e advices received here today,
while hot beyond question, indicate
the practical certainty that another
general assault on Port Arthur began
Nov, 24 hnd was continuing Nov. 27.
It Is certain that there has been
severe fighting. The only question is
whether the assault was sufficiently
widespread to be called general.
The fighting Is with the object of
capturing additional Russian trenches.
The summit torts seemingly were not
attacked. The Chinese say that one
train of 30 cars recently arrived at
Port Dalny with wounded men
prisoners were captured.
To Better Position.
As frequently indicated the Japa
nese position is most promising at
Klhlung mountain and Keekwan
mountain hnd the latest attack was
designed to further increase the power
of these positions. A detachment of
the eleventh divison began the ad
vance* during the afternoon of Nov.
24 following several days* bombard
ment; rushing against the trenches
guarding the approach to the south
east fort of the Keekwan mountain
group, the Japanese artillery In the
meanwhile throwing all the metal
possible against the Rthlung mountain
and Antzii mountain forts.
The possession of the trenches was
stubbornly contested. After five hours
fighting and several repulses the
Japanese drove out the Russians and
destroyed thqjr trenches and succeed
ed In entrenching themselves behind
sand bags, which the infantry carried.
At 11 in the evening the Russians
made a sortie,, which the Japanese say
they repulsed after two hours’ fight
ing.
Another Line Xpt.
Another line of trenches more for
midable than the ones destroyed lies
between the Japanese and the forts.
The Japanese at Port Dalny believe
the attack became general, ns men re
turning from the front while not hav
ing seen the fighting, reported that
heavy small*arm and machine gun
fire was almost constant at various
parts of the line till Nov. 27, when the
last advices arrived at Port Dalny.
Teddy’s Children Did Not Chase the
Thanksgiving Turkey.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.—Wm.
Loeb, Jr., as secretary to the presi
dent. today issued an official signed
tement denying that President
Roosevelt's children had cruelly treat
ed the Thanksgiving turkey sent to
the president by Mr. Vose of Rhode
Island. In the statement Mr. Loeb
says:
The president’s attention has just
been called to a news Item which con
tains an account of supposed mal
treatment by his children of the
Thanksgiving turkey which Mr. Vose
kindly sent to the White House In ac
cordance with his annual custom. The
article states that the children releas
ed the turkey and chased it all over
the White House grounds, plucking at
and teasing it and yelling and
laughing until , the bird was well nigh
exhausted, while the president looked
on and laughed. As a matter of fact
the turkey was dressed when Mr. Vose
sent It and was used for Thanksgiving
dinner. There was a bronze live
turkey sent from Milwaukee. This
turkey was never taken out of Its box.
but was shipped to Oyster Bay be
cause of its beauty, and is living
peaceably with the rest of the in
habitants of the barn yard. No such
incident as that recounted has ever
taken place since the president has
been in the White House, and nothing
in the remotest degree resembling It
has ever taken place.”
Secretary Loeb, after the statement
had been issued, said:
"No attention would have been paid
to this attack if it had been upon the
president personally, but as it has
been extended to members of his
family he feels that he ought to reply
to it.”
