Great Rejoicing in Toxic.

Toxic, June 26.-Tokio is in fren-
zy of enthusiasm over the tremendous
naval victory won by the japanese
fleet under Admiral Togo at Port Ar
thur on Thursday. fresh details Of
which are arriving hourly.
Every additional dispatch brings
confirmation of the utter rout suffered
by the Russians.
The entire fleets of both powers
were engaged. and a naval battle that
will live in history was fought in the
gathering twilight Thursday night.
The engagement resulted from
desperate attempt of the Russians to
escape from Port Arthur and effect
junction with the vladivostok squad
ron.
The most thrilling gallantry was dis
played. The Russians also fought with
a courage and desperation born of re-
peated defeats. but their gun practice
was bad, which accounts for the trifing
damage which the Japanese ships sus-
tanned during the engagement.
Shells from the Russian ships con-
stantly exploded in the air. or in the
water Just too short of the mark or
just beyond the enemy's ships.
1t was the torpedo boats of the jap
anese fleet that inflicted the greatest
damage. A torpedo struck the Peres-
Wet midway in the engagement. and in
five minutes later. with a roar like an
exploding magazine. she sank beneath
the waves.
A well placed shell struck the other
battleship, the name of which has not
yet been ascertained, just after the
boiler. and put her out OF commission.
The cruiser was hit by a torpedo and
disappeared toward Port Arthur. ap-
parently in a sinking condition.
Meanwhile the smaller guns on the
Japanese ships were spreading havoc
among the torpedo boats OF the en-
envy.
For more than five hours the battle
lasted The moon rose over the scene
of the terrific struggle and showed a
blurred and Redeemed face among tho
flame and smoke of the conflict
Slowly the Russians backed away
from the Japanese ships, describing
great loops to keep out of range, and
with difficulty making the entrance to
Port Arthur. into which they retreated
under cover of the guns Of the fort
ress
The ships of the Japanese sustained
little damage. The torpedo boat de-
stroyer Shirakumo was hit by n shell
which fell In the cabin and three men
were killed and three more injured.
These We're the only casualties on
board the Japanese fleet
