Admiral Toso's Report ofSTuesday's
operations-The Blockadine FIotilla
Was Scattered by. a Gale.


Toxic, BY gable.-Vice Admiral To
COS official recital OF the latest en-
gagement off Port Arthur; which was
received here Sunday; shows that th+
Japanese have blocked the entrance
to the harbor. -
On Tuesday morning after the
blockadfng aotilla had been scattered
by a gale and the commander of the
aotifla had signalled in vain that the
attempt be abandoned pending the
moderation of the storm, tie crews
# of the separate vessels, in no wise
. daunted by the weather which isolated
3 them from their companions, proceed
$ ed to the work on their own desperate
initiative. They forced their way in
the face Of the Russian fre; which
WAS more deadly than ever before, as
"a result of the improved Russian de-
fenses, ever the field Of mines.
i Many of them exploded, yet five of the
Japanese blockading ships were JAM
med into the channel and now pre-
vent egress from the harborS to all
craft excepting small boats. This at
tack exceeded all its predecessors in
desperation and the courage displayed
by the volunteer crews is. equal to
that shown in any event in the war
historys;of the world.
Although Vice Admiral Togo again
6 avoided damage to single. one OF his
vessels, thee3attack proved to be ex-
/ pensive in lives. Commander Haya-
s shi, who was in command of the ex-
! pedition, observed the impossibility
of keeping the flotilla intact, owing
ito the heavy seas, and signalled to
abandon the attack.
These signals were repeated until 2
.or.3 o'clock in the morning, but they
failed to reach the vessels of the ex-
spedition, which were swept apart by
the tempestuous sea and proceeded
sseparatly to the mouth of the harbor.

The fear is held here that if the
Russians leave and the Japanese do
not at once take possession .of New
Chwang, the brigands, who are now
across the river near Yin Kew, will
;pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the bri-
gands should they come over. The
British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chwang.
The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving.

probably-the last train out of Port

The Russian civilians at New

brigands.
Mere Bad News fef Russia.
Two official dispatches calculated to
increase the depression existing among
all circles in Russia were given out
Sunday night; From the point Of view
Of the progress of the campaign, the
most important is that regarding the
capture by the Japanese without oppo-
sition of Feng Wang Cheng, on May
9Th. The second gives details con-
corning the killed, wounded and miss
ing among the troops under the COM
mand Of Lieutenant General zassalitch,
as the result of the fighting On the
Yalu, the number of which totals 1881
officers and men.
Gen. KuropatNn forwarded d mes.
sage from Lieutenant General Zas=
salitch, who had been left in command
of the column retiring from Feng
Wang Cheng, which described the
movements of the enemy in connection
with the occupation of the town.
The information caused no surprise
to the officials who had already been
advised of the decision that no at
tempt would be made to hold Feng
Wang Cheng, the superiority Of the
Japanese IN all fighting arms ensuring
a disaster similar to that Kiu Lien
Cheng, Therefore, Gen. zassalitch
was given strict orders that there
should be no fight of the fear guard.
The Russians left while Gen. Kuroki
was making his dispositions for big
battle.
