counts OF the second unsuccessful at

freships and torpedo boats and the ac-
tion OF the three Russian officers in

enthusiasm. while the almost universal
exclamation applied to Vice Admiral
Makarof as the people turned away was
''molodetz," which might be literally
translated, Hes n dandy"
The action of the japanese In making
use OF the internal machines has aroused
Indignation. No further details have been
received except from the injury TO the
