LOSS OF THE YAsHIMA CONFIRMED.
Japan Has Only -Four Battleships Left, but
More Cruisers Than the Russians.

Paris, Nov. 3-Ths Associated Press was put
in a position to-day to state positively that JUS
dispatches from Che-Foo, Port Arthur and TO-
kio last June. to the effect that the Japanese
battleship Yashima had been sunk by mine
off Dalny, which dispatches were denied by the
Japanese authorities at the time, have finally
been officially confirmed The Japanese govern
ment has Informed foreign governments OF the
loss of the ship The number of men who went
down with the vessel is not known but Is
believed to have been small The official de-
tails show that the Yashima struck Russian
mine and later attempted to make Dalny Har-
bor but this proved impossible and she sank
in deep water
The loss of the Yashma has been concealed
nv the Japanese. though the Russian authori-
ties have believed for some time that the re-
ports that the batteship had been destroyed
were correct It is important. since 1t Is now as
closed that Japan has only four modern battle
ships remaining. These are the Asahi, the Full.
the Mikasa and the Shikishima. Another vessel
classed as a battleship is the Chen Yen taken
from China in 1894, but she is old and not
Of much fighting value Naval experts say
that the small battieship force possessed by Al
E1iral Togo was responsible for the tactics he
observed at the nava! battle of August 10. when
admiral Witsoeft attempted to escape from
Port Arthur the Japanese battleships refusing
to come to close quarters with the enemy, but
pounding them from a distance and sending in
the torpedo boat destroyers to make night at
tacks.
The Yashima was one OF the finest battle
ships Of the japanese navy. Her displacement
was II 800 tons. about the size of the Ameri-
can battieship Maine, and she had speed OF
10 knots She carried a heavy battery of four
12-iuch. ten 6-inch and twenty-four other guns
of smaller calibre. The Russian squadron at
Port Arthur includes five modern battleshipS,
more or less damaged and Rear Admiral RO-
jestvenskys command which is now on the way
from the Baltic to the Far East, also numbers
five battleships. In view of the infertority OF
the Japanese in battleships their armored
cruiser strength is important, they being great
ly superior to the Russians in this respect.
