However, the negotiations begun upon
this subject were not brought to. a
conclusion and Japan, without await
ing the receipt of the last responsive
el the negotiations broken off and
diplomatic relations with Russia dis
solved.
Without advising Us OF the fact
that the breach of such relations
would in itself mean opening Of war
like operations, the Japanese govern
ment gave orders to its torpedo boats
to suddenly attack our squadron
standing in the outer harbor of the
fortress of Port Arthur. Upon re-

OF the Almighty and with a firm ex-
pectauon of and reliance upon the
unanimous willingness of all our loyal
subjects to stand with us in defense
or the Fatherland, ask God'e blessing
