Troops Routed the Japanese and Drove Them a Considerable Distance, According to the Report. has been received in St. Petersburg confirming the rumors In circulation that General Stoessel had, made a successful sortie from Port Arthur, resulting in the defeat of the Japanese with a loss of more than 1,000 killed or wounded. The Russian losses were 116 killed or wounded. The movement was carried cut by a combination with a train bringing In war munitions and supplies and General Stocssela' force, communications being maintained by wireless telegraphy. The Japanese barred the route between the train and General Stcessels force, whereupon the Russians attacked and routed the Japanese. After the engagement General Stoosseis force, together with the train, returned to Port Arthur. The current accounts of the Port Arthur sortie are somewhat conflicting and there Is some doubt as to whether the version mentioning the train Is correct. But the operation is described as having been brilliantly carried out by the Russians. General Stoessel, It Is Bald, made a new distribution of his guns before taking part In the sortie. The Russian troops fought with great bravery, breaking the Japanese line and carrying the enemy for a considerable distance. New INNING FOR THE JAPS.
