KOBE March 1S.-The report is Of
ficially confirmed that the Russian

break out the night of the tenth which
was dark and favorable. The object
was to effect juncture with the Vlad-
ivistok feet. On the morning of the
thirteenth however, Admiral Togo's
patrol sighted the fleet and 1t was
obliged to return to Port Arthur.
This is in direct conflict with the
statement that Admiral Karafoff had
made repeated sorties ou. from Port
Arthur in attempt to locate the Jap
anese fleet and goes to show that Ad-
miral Togo is on the alert and will be
able to thwart any attempt on the part
Of the Russian to combine their Vladi-
vistok and Port Arthur fleets.
1t is also evidence that when the
time is ripe he will strike these fleets
severally and completely destroy them
