Fort Arthur.

mination.
Refuses to Yield
{Received This Morning, at 0.10 a.m.)
London, Last Night
The Foreign Consuls at Shanghai are determined to preserve the neutrality of the port.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Japan offered to allow the garrison to pass out under arms and join General Kuropatkin. General Stossol's reply was : —■" So long as a man is left in the last fort, Port Arthur will fight." The bombardment thereupon was resumed. Refugees report that the Japanese sustained terrible losses through charging over a huge mine in the field when making further headway.
