It Is reported that the Japanese sappers directed against Rihlung mountain, Sungshu mountain and East Kekwan mountain have reached the base of the center ditches. The works outside the parapets ol R hlung mountain and Sungshu mountain have been captured, leaving the Russians tn possession of tbe parapets only. The Japanese guns are shelling the parapets and Inflicting heavy damage 1 he occupation of the forts is expected shortly.
