RUSSIANS REPORT
JAPANESE REPULSE
They Comment sneeringly Upon a
Movement at Port Arthur.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 18.-Ofi-
cial confirmation is received that an
attack made on Port Arthur on Feb.
16 was repulsed after heavy. firing on
both sides. According to the story,
this attack was intended as feint to
cover landing at Ta-len-wan bay.
but 1t failed because the Russian guns
were placed, with great foresight, to
command that shore. A Russian ex-
pert says the Japanese evidently hoped
the adjacent group of Eliot isles would
cover this movement, as they did the
same thing during the Chino-Jap-
anese war, landing simultaneously at
Ta-lien-wan on the east coast and at
K1nchou, on the west coast, thus cut
ting off Port Arthur from each side of
the Liaotung peninsula.
Tt surprises me-" this expert con-
tinues, shat the Japanese should have
made such foolhardy attempt to face
the Russians, as they must know from
their spies how strongly the peninsula
is mined and defended
The governments frank statement
in its circular Of this morning. of Rus
sta's unpreparedness, owing to Japan's
sudden precipitation Of hostilities. and
warning the Russian public not to ex-
pect immediate victories, confirms the
opinion that Russia will act on the de-
fensive until her army is fully mobfl
lied and the equipment of the commits
Sariat is In perfect working order.
There are already over 100000 men in
the field, but this number will be
largely augmented. About 10000 men
are required to guard the railroad.

TOLD BY The VICEROY
AIexieff's Story Of the Battle of
Feb. g. -

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. ia long
official dispatch from Viceroy Alexieff
recounting the details OF the fight of
Feb. at Port Arthur was given out
today. 1t enumerates the Russian
casualties, and says it is known that
a number of Japanese ships suffered
severely, which accounts for their not
following up the attack. The viceroy's
dispatch is dated Feb. IS, and says:
After the night torpedo attack, the
Japanese fleet, consisting Of sixteen
warships, appeared at 10 o'clock in the
morning of Feb. 9 off Port Arthur.
It's appearance was noted by the coast
signal stations as well as by the ships
or our squadron, which. lay in the
outer roads fully prepared for battle.
Our squadron consisted of five battle
ships, five first and second class
cruisers and fifteen torpedo boats. I'M
der the command Of Vice Admiral
Stark and Rear Admiral Ukhtonski.
The coast batteries Immediately
prepared to receive the enemy. Our
squadron weighed anchor in order of
battle and, on the first shot being
fired by the enemy, the fleet and bat
teries replied simultaneously with
lively cannonade. The most exposed
.
the squadron, Battery No. Is, on EIec-
trio cliff, and Battery No. 10, on Golden
hill. Other coast batteries, princi-
pally Nos II and Is, were also under
fire.
Throughout the fight the torpedo
division lay to the right Of the SQUAD

THE land batteries We're under the
general direction Of Maj. Gen. Baloff,
commander of. the Kwan Tung garrison
OF artillery. 1t is still difficult to as
certain the result OF the battle, but
according to observations made by
our ships, 1T may be assumed that
several vessels of the enemy's fleet
sustained damage, which explains why
they avoided further fighting although
they" were much superior to US in
strength"
The admiral gives a full list of the
ships engaged, with the names of their
commanders, and says:
according to the reports of the
commanders the men fought exceed
ingly well, on which account, in virtue
of the imperial authorization, I have
conferred six classes of the Order Of
st. George on each company of the
warships having more than 200 men;
TOUR crosses on each company of all
other ships Of the second Glass; one
cross on each torpedo boat; one cross
on the signal station at Golden hill,
which operated under the heavy fire
of the enemy; four crosses on Battery
No. IL; three on Battery No. 13, and
one cross on a gunner, who, though
severely wounded, returned to his bat
terry.
Our losses were: OF the squadron.

"The naval and land forces in the
far East are inspired by the most
heartful wish to meet their enemy
breast to breast in order to fulfill their
duty in face of their ruler and un-
shakably to fight for the honor and
glory of their beloved fafherland."

preparation for any emergency. Espec-
ial interest attaches to the equipment
OF sixty battleships with the new
twelve-inch wire steel guns, 450 of
which were ordered by the admiralty
four years ago at an expense Of $22,-
100000. These are said to be the most
modern and most powerful guns in ex-
tstence in any navy and they are capa-
BILE of throwing an aimed shot accur-
ately 81 miles.
Similar reports Of military activity
are received from other countries.
Even Spain Is preparing for possibili-
ties. The Spanish minister of war in
formed newspaper man yesterday
that he was mobilizing all the military
forces at his disposal.
The correspondents of the Times
and of the Telegraph at Tokyo unite
in announcing the resumption of Jap
anese coaSting trade, and confirm pre-
vious reports that the Russian cruiser
Boyarin was sunk during the attack
on Port Arthur on Feb. IA. Some cor
respondents say the warship in ques-
ton was the cruiser Bayan and not
the Boyarin.
Full accounts Of the firing by Rus
sian ships on the British steamer Psi
Ping at Port Arthur show that the
Russians ordered the Psi Ping, togeth-
er with the British steamer Ching
Ping and the German steamer, Pronto,
to extinguish their lights and fires.
Russian warships then arrived and
finding three vessels in the roads with
out lights, began firing at them. The
Pronto received most Of the shots.
The forts then began to fire and the
utmost confusion prevailed.
military correspondent of the
Times asks whether the Russian pro-
clamation portends a repetition of Rus
sia's policy of 1912 and the waging Of
war of exhaustion. He thinks this
proclamation can have no other mean
ing, unless lit was concocted deliber-
ately for deception, or written with
the knowledge that the Manchurian
railroad is wrecked
yet this seems Madness" the COR
respondent continues, because if the
Russian army stood still while Japan
was reducing the two great fortresses
at Port Arthur and Vladivostok, Rus
STA would become the laughing stock
of Europe and the mock of Asia"

RUSSIA PREPARES HER
PEOPLE FOR DELAY
Promises to Whip Japan If She Is
Given Plenty of Time.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1S.-An Of
preparedness of Russia for war and
the necessity for the exercise of pa
thence by her people has been issued
here. 1t is as follows
Eight days have now elapsed since
all Russia was shaken with profound
indignation against an enemy who
suddenly broke off negotiation and by
a treacherous attack endeavored to
obtain an easy access in a war long
desired. The Russian nation with nat
ural Impotence desires prompt VEN
geance and awaits feverishly news
from the far East.
THE unity and strength of the Rus
sian people leave no room for doubt
that Japan will receive the chastise-
ment she deserves for her treachery
and provOcation to war at a time when
our beloved sovereign desired to main
tain peace among the nations. The
conditions under which hostilities are
being carried on compel US to wait
with patience news of the success of
our troops, which cannot occur be-
fore decisive actions are fought by the
Russian army.
"The distance Of the territory and
Tic 0CohC VI Tic emperor W MAINTAIN
peace were the causes of the impossi-
bility of more complete and earlier
preparations for war" o7s
Much time is now necessary in order
to strike at Japan, but it was worthy of
the dignity and might Of Russia, and,
while sparing as much as possible the
shedding of blood of her children, to in
f1ict just chastisement upon the nation
which has provoked the struggle. Rus
sia must await the event in patience, be-
ing sure that our army will avenge an
hundred fold that provocation.
Operations on land must not be ex-
pected for some time yet, and we cannot
obtain early news from the theater Of war.
The useless shedding of blood is I'M
worthy the greatness and power of Rus
STA Our country displays such unity and
desire for self-sacrifice on behalf Of the
national cause that all true news from
the scene Of hostilities will be immediate
ly due to the entire nation"

existing here in certain quarters that
the United States is not friendly to
Russia.
In this connection there is no
doubt the government Reels somewhat
embarrassed by the desire Of the
United States to install cbnsuls in the
open ports of Manchuria immediately.
The government does npts like to be
placed in the position ofSbutting OBJ
stacles in the way but that entire ter
ritory is now under military control,
and these posts would be within the
sphere of the war operations. Fur
thermore, trade is at a standstill, and
the authorities cannot comprehend
why Washington should press this
matter now. None of the Dther pow
ers is seeking to take immediate adj
vantage of the privileges accorded by
the Japanese treaties.
las far as concerns Port Dalny, to
which place an American commercitl
agent has been appointed, the situa-
ton is even worse, as it Is not impos-
sible that the military authorities will
soon request all foreigners to leave
there

state department officer as SAYING that

ers having accepted the general prin-
ciple Of naturalization, the state de-
partment felt that chapter to be closed.
This is evidently the information re-
ferred to as causing surprise in ST.
Petersburg, official circles. Russia's
adherence to the principles Of the Hay
note was regarded several days ago as
assured, although no formal response
from the cars government had been
received.
