HEAR HEAVY FIRING
BELIEVED THE EXPECTED NAVAL
BATTLE HAS TAKEN PLACE.

Detachment of Russian Snapshots

csc Patrol-NearIy All of Party Of
Fifty Killed.
Che Foo, Apri. 13.-Noon.-The cap
tain of the steamer Lockshan, which
arrived today from New Chwang re-
ports that he heard heavy firing be-
tween 5 and Z O'Clock this morning, in
the direction of Port Arthur. The
firing was continuous, but no ships
were visible. From the direction of
the sound he judged that there was
fighting at the entrance to Port Ar
thur. The Lockshan was the last for
eign merchant vessel to leave New
Chwang, sailing at the same time as
the British gunboat Espiegle.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press at Teng Chow, forty tliles north
west of here, telegraphs as follows:
Sounds of very heavy firing were
heard at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
The firing evidently was being done
between here and Port Arthur. 1t is
believed at Teng Chow that the long
expected sea fight among the Miaotao
islands has taken place. The Japa-
nese battleship Asahi, flying an admi-
rails flag, was seen off Che Foo. going
to the west. and there is no doubt that
the remainder of the japanese fleet
was in the vicinity of Port Arthur.
The Russian feet also was seen out
side Port Arthur yesterday"

japanese Patrol Wiped Out.

ST. Petersburg. April 13.-General
Kouropatkin. in q dispatch to the en-
peror. says Genera! Eralyuslly. on the
night of the 9Th. ordered detachment
of sharpshcoters to cross to the left
bank OF the Yalu, opposite Win. The
sharpshooters landed on the island
of Samalind ard surprised patrol of
fifty japanese scouts just as the lat
ter were approaching the east side
Russians allowed the Japanese to
land and then fired on them. Nearly
all the japanese were shot, bayo-
netted or drowned and their boats
sunk The Russians sustained no
losses. The following day the Japa-
nese lowered their flag at Wiju and
their outposts, which lately have been
seen to fall back. On the night of
April 8 four Russians crossed the
Yalu to Yongampho and made towards
a Russian village. where they found
squadron OF Japanese cavalry. They
remained there twelve hours, when
they were betrayed by Koreans and
found themselves obliged to swim
the river, their boat having struck on
sand bank. One soldier lost his
life. The Japanese pursued the Rus
SLAMS in boat, but were in turn at
tackled by Russian boat which had
come to the rescue of the swimmers
The Japanese were all killed and
their boat sunk.
General Kouropatkin's report of the
humiliation of the japanese detach-
ments on the Yalu river is matter Of
general satisfaction in official circles.
Again, in. the view of the authorities,
the Russian soldier has proved his
superiority in strategy and in the man.
ner of attack. which left no chance
for single enemy to escape. One
feature of the message which is not
pleasing to the authorities is the &C.
ton of the Koreans in revealing to
the Japanese the presence of the Rus
SLAMS at YoRgampho, and the belief
prevails that the Koreans are not so
unfriendly to the Japanese as has
been announced. Incidents such as
that at Yongampho indicate that the
| view held of the Korean attitude is
| q mistaken one.
