Latest War News. * Chefno, November 3.-Port Arthur ia doomed. Tho correspondent of tho Associated Press here has received in formation, the reliability of which is beyond question, that tho Japanese now occupy positions which place tho east side of tho town at their morey. The last assault, bas gained important positions which insure their ability to enter tho main east forts whenever they are ready. Ibo Japanese calculate that if tho Rniuin',,, do not surrender now, they will bo capable of prolonging the lightinr by making ' jeir fluni stand at Lei'i promontory and Tigers Tail for a month longer with the mere hope o? continuing tho struggle. Long before tho second Pacilic squadron arrives iu the Pacific, the ... Japanese Hag, it is now believed, will wave over tho wrecked citadel. i This will end Viceroy AlexiefTs 4 dream of an unconquerable city. Tho Japanese have not occupied the main i forts and highest points of the east . hills, but they occupied in overwhel ming numbers positions which will en- < able them to drive the Russians back whenever they desire. When tho Japanese occupy tho east port ridge they will completely domi nate the other Russian forts with their artillery. Shanghai, November 4.-Advices reaching Shanghai today say that the * Japanese assault on Port Arthur con tinues with unabated vigor and that 1 the Russian defense is dogged and de termined. The northern portion of East Keek wan mountain has been captured by the Janr ese, who hold it under a fu rious Ki ?ian lire. A fort on the inner line o? defenses was destroyed by the explosion of a magazine on Nov. 2. The.casualties of the Japanese are reported to be enormous. A belief prevails that the Russian warships will make another attempt to es cape. Mukden, November 5.-The Russian } and Japanese armies are now so close together that manoeuvring is almost ] impossible. The Japanese are confin ing themselves to occasional night at tacks, during which they shell the vil lages occupied by the Russians. In these attacks th y wounded several Russian oUicers. In return parties of Russians have penetrated the Japanese villages at night, causing temporary panics. On one occasion the Rus sians succeeded in throwing two bombs into tbe Japanese officers quar- j ters. 1 Genoral Kuroki's Headquarters, November 0.-The positions ot the two ' armies aro unchanged. Tbe Russians continue infrequent and ineffectual bombardments, principally at night or in the early morning, with heavy guns, . I devoting their energies chiefly to tho * I Japanese left, where the lines are I nearer than elsewhere. - The Japanese refrain from replying. There is a sharp exchange, indicating lire some where on tho line almost every night. The cold weather of the past week culminated today in a sharp wind and flurries of snow. The ground is frozen and the soldiers build few lires for warmth, lest they draw the Russian shots. They have remarkably and in geniously well constructed shelters of corn stalks whenever they are nuable to occupy Chinese houses. Fur over coats are being used. Mukden, November 7.-The Russian J and Japanese armies, extending from Bentziaputze to the Lino river, are at present within n stone's throw of each other. At Bentziaputze not more than 400 yards separate the advance posts and at Sianobippu, in the Shakhe river just weBt of the railway and 15 miles south of - Mukden, the Japanese and Russians occupy the extreme ends of the same village. AtHuangBhants tho Russian center has thrown advance ? posts across the Shakhe river. Both i armies uro still strengthening their po sitions all along the line. The slightest movement on either Bide is the signal for firing which occasionally occurred all last night. Undoubtedly the most decisive it not the greatest battle of tho year will be fought in the vicinity of the Shakhe river. The Russians are confident of their ability to hold their positions. The soldiers are building mud huts for winter quar ters. -. The largest hotel in the world is to be built in Chioago.

The cotton orop of the republio has fallen below expectations, due to continued drougth in many of the ootton growing aeotiona, and the yield will not exceed 65,000 bales at the most. It la estimated that the mills will eonsume almost double this amount of ootton, and consequently between 60,000 and. 65,000 bales will have to be imported from the United States. There are now more thau 150 ootton mills in operation in Mexioo, and approximately 25,000 operatives are given, employment.
