The opinion gains ground in London that the Japanese have at last effectually blocked Port Arthur. No official Japanese reports have been received, but the Tokio correspondents are very positive regarding the matter and describe the determlaa-tlo- n with whlrh the enterprise wai undertaken. Tbe Daily Telegraph's correspondent deciarea that the entrance to Port Arthur la absolutely sealed," and ndda tbat tbe Japanese Beet In effecting ita purpose steamed Into the entrance at full speed, and that the naval officers who made tbe two previous .attempts begged permission to carry out tbe next attempt by daylight, that being easier, and their request was granted. "So determined were they to adds the correspondent, "that they decided. If necessary, to lose half their men. The number of cnaualtlea sustained by tbe Japanese haa not yet been announced."

APPEAL. Men HAVE SAID TO PERUVIANS CROSSED FRONTIER. Both Countries Claim a Strip of Rich Territory, and Brazil is Mobilizing Troops to Protect Her Rights. It is rumored In Rio Janeiro that orders have been issued for the mobilization of Brazilian troops and for the ooneentratiqn of all Uio forces in the First military district at points on the frontier where Peruvian troops are reported to have crossed into Brazil. Disquieting incidents, it was announced from Rio Janeiro, April 21, were reoprted to have occurred on tbe western frontier of Brasil, where the Peruvian troops, in spite of repeated demands had refused to evacuate territory regarded aa belonging to Brazil. The territory ' In dispute includes Jurua and Purus valleys. The governor of tha province of Amazonaa, la October' of last year, notified skippers going to the upper Jurua. that they should not submit their papers to the Peruvian consuls, as Brasil' did not recognise the sovereignty of Peru over that part of the country.

This le the official estimate of Major General Kaahtalin-ky- , who directly commanded the division that suffered the brunt of the attack, and whose report waa received Wednesday by the emperor. Many are inclined to place the Russian losses even, higher. General Kashtallnsky mentions also that more than 700 wounded had arrived at Feng Wang Cheng and these may not be included In hla calculations.
