SIBERIAN FLEET
CAUGHT BY JAPS
Kamimura Overtakes Vladivostok
Squadron and Engages in
Sea Fight.
Russian Reports Of Jap Retreats
Not Borne Out by Jap
Stories.

Toxic, July 2, 10 a.m.-There Is a
probability that Vice Admiral Kami-
mura sighted the Vladivostok squad
ron last night and that general at
tack with torpedoes followed. 1t is
known that Kamimura was pursuing
the Russians and oannonade was
heard. Kamimura has not yet re-
ported to Toxic and word from him
Is awaited with keen eagerness.
The exact movements Of the Rus
SLAMS are not known. It Is thought
Kamfmura pressed tho Russians into
the Tsu islands, In the straits Of
Korea, and that the Russians ran east
and then north in an effort to escape.
Kamimura's scouts discovered the
Russians yesterday afternoon, trailed
them, and reported the Russians
presence. At 1880 in the evening the
latter We're seen between the Iku and
Taleu islands. Cannonading was
heard there.
An hour and half later cannonad-
ing was heard farther north.
The navy department expresses the
belief that Kamlmura sent his tor
pedoboats against the Russians dur
Ing the night.
The object Of the recent Russian
naval movements IL not clearly under
stood here. It Is suspected that both
Russian squadrons hope to seek refuge
IN neutral pOrI OF emma ana clali1l
protection. Kai-chou, Chi-fu and
even Wei-hai-wei are mentioned as
their destination.
The Japanese contend that the Rus.
SLAMS are not entitled to neutral pro-
| lection under the circumstances. They
deny the case Is similar to that of
the Russian gunboat Mandjur, which
was at Shanghai when hostilit1es
commenced. The entry Of the Rus
sian warships into either Kai-chou or
Wei-hai-we1 would prove embarrass-
ing to the governments controlling
ing those ports.
