Japanese Mine Network Shrugs Off Fog to Threaten Port Arthur
Vladivostok reports that Japanese forces mined Peter the Great gulf amid heavy fogs and struck Chinese refugees, while Japanese and Russian positions shifted around Dalny and Port Arthur. Reports from Mukden and Chefoo detail attempts to block Port Arthur, with Japanese gunboats and destroyers sunk and Russian losses listed. Observers in Tokio note Russians evacuating Dalny with multiple warehouses intact, rail lines usable, and docks damaged. Refugees recount bandit activity after Russian departure, and Tokyo cites a large-scale naval redeployment near Dalny and Talienwan as both sides sustain casualties and endure poor roads from heavy rain.
