RUSSIA'S SCORE.
Makes First Distinct Naval
Success Of the War.
CfippIes but Does Not Sink Armored
japanese Cruiser.
Impossible to Get Accurate Story a
DaIny 6ombardment.

Lao Yang, Saturday. May 14.-(De-
layed in Transmission)-The Russian
fleet scored it's first distinct naval sue
cess of the war on May 10. by the tor
pedoing and crippling, though not the
sinking Of an armored Japanese cruis-
er in Talienwan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned on May 10, while the Japanese
squadron was concentrated outside
Dalny devoting it's whole attention to
Talienwan bay and was carried out the
same night.
The attacking force was not a regular
torpedo but was only a small naphtha
launch in command Of a young naval
OFFICER who had with him three jackies.
The launch mounted a small machine
gun and carried three torpedos.
When darkness fell the launch crept
out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore
with no lights aboard and no glow
from the engines to betray her pres
ence.. 1t was late when the launch
gained the outer lines of the Japanese
squadron. She slipped through the
torpedo boat pickets and selecting the
nearest warship, big armored cruiser,
she stole toward her and succeeded in
exploding against her side a single tor
pedo. A deafening roar followed the
explosion which echoed far ashore. Inn
mediately flames enveloped the cruiser.
which evidently was badly crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen to be
fighting the fire, which they at last
succeeded in extinguishing. A sister
ship took the damaged vessel in tow
and disappeared to the southeast.
The launch escaped the hot fire d.
rected against her by the Japanese
ships, but being unable to return to
Port Arthur or to get into Dalny, she
was beached not far from Dalny. Only
a few Of the higher officers were aware
Of the plan, the success Of which de-
pended upon secrecy. The achievement
raised the spirits Of the Russians afloat
and ashore and the young naval officer,
who was the hero Of the exploit, was
feted and recommended for the cross Of
st. George.
The Russians OH May II, apprehend-
ing that the presence OF a Japanese
squadron meant an attempt to capture
Dalny, blew up the piers and quietly
evacuated the place.
Two thousand Japanese have re-oc-
cupied the road to Sanchilipu, again
cutting off Port Arthur. A strong force
is advancing against Polondien.
