GREAT COUP OF THE JAPANESE.
Story of Admiral Toso's Successful
Battle off Port Arthur.


London, Feb, 12 (Friday).-The COR
respondent OF the Standard at Toxic
sends this morning an entirely new ac-
count of the Port Arthur encounter.
He says that Admiral Togo's fleet ar
rived Monday night and found the Rus
sian squadron drawn up in battle for
nation outside the harbor under the
shadow of the forts, the destroyers be-
ing spread out in front over distance
of five miles.
Admiral Togo decided on night at
tack and opened fire at II o'clock
While the cannonade was hottest a
number of Japanese torpedo boats crept
along close in shore at the foot of the
cliff and succeeded, In the darkness, in
getting between the Russian ships and
land. Here they lay unnoticed until
the Russians began to give way before
the Japanese fire and sought to re-
enter the harbor.
The Japanese torpedo boats then
opened fire at comparatively close range
and sank two battleshlps and one
cruiser close to the entrance of the har-
Dor.
The effect of this coup was the re-
treat of the remainder Of the squadron
in the harbor.
