2 O'Clock in the morning, but they
failed to reach the vessels of the ex-
petition, which were swept apart by
the tempestuous seas, and proceeded
separately to the mouth of the harbor.
Upon arriving there the Mikawa Maru,
one Of the merchantmen, saw that the
enemy was firing upon the fourteenth
torpedo flotilla. The men on board
the Mikawa Maru thought the other
steamers had reached the harbor
mouth, and they steamed boldly in.
She was followed closely by another
Of the merchantmen, believed to be
the Sakura Maru.
The Russians had fires burning at
the mouth of the harbor, and they used
also many powerful searchlights on
the invading Japanese vessels. They
poured an incessant fire into the chan
mel.
Lieutenant Sosa, who was in COM
mand of the Mikawa Maru, unhesitat-
ingly forced his ship into the channel.
rammed his through the booms and
reached the center of the inner en-
trance. Here he anchored his vessel
and then blew her up. She sank i'm
mediately.
Another steamer, supposed to be the
Sakura Maru. then came to anchor
near projecting rock at the mouth of
the harbor and sank. Following the
Sakura Maru came the Totomi, Tchido
Maru, the Otaru Maru, the Sagami
Maru and the Asagowa Maru. These
six steamers advanced to the mouth
of the harbor.
The Russian fire now became highly
effective, while number of sunken
mines which were struck by the steam
ers began to explode.
These explosions caused heavy cas-
ualties among the Japanese on board
the blockading vessels. The Totomi
collided with boom. This turned her
stem to the eastward and she sank
athwart the passage, blocking nearly
one-half of the entrance to the harbor

He anchored the Yedo Maru and sank

Two other stone-laden steamers, be-
lieved to be the Ataru Maru and the
Sagami Maru, then entered the mouth
of the harbor and were sunk. The

the crucial land fight of the campaign

Nsw Chwang, May Z. 9 a. m.-There
is eveky indication that the Russians
have decided to evacuate New
Chwang. Troops have been leaving
here all day long. The forts have been
dismantled and all the artillery has
been placed on board trains. All the
local transportation has been COM
Wandered by the Russian authorities.
There is current here a native rumor
that Japanese transports are in Foo
Chau ION the west side Of the Lao
Tung peninsula and about sixty miles
north Of Port Arthur. but this report
lacks confirmation.
The fear is held here that If the Rus
SLAMS leave and the Japanese do not
at once take possession Of New
Chwang. the brigands, who are now
across the river. near Wing Kow, will
pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the brig

British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chwang.
The. Russians probably will destroy

They used artillery and small arms,

It is reported here that viceroy AL
