NAVY TRIES NIGHT WORK
North Atlantic Squadron Practices
Workmanship,

Remarkable results have already
been obtained in the naval target prac-
tice now going on in Menemsha blight.
The vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron in last springs target prac-
tice b. oke all the worlds records for
rapidly and accuracy of fire both with
big and little guns, but this was day
light work under favorable conditions
for good shooting.
The big ships are now doing some
extraordinary night shooting. The ex-
perience of the Russo-Japanese war
has convinced the general board that
in the future the great naval battles
may be fought at night and it is GER
tain that most of the torpedo work
will be done in the hours of darkness.
Hence it is believed to be essential
to develop the gun pointers at night
work and already surprising results
have been obtained in the practice in
the night. Using her eight inch guns
one of the battleships made eight hits
out of nine shots at night. The target,
distant about mile, was Illuminated
by a searchlight and the gunners used
special night sight. The ship from
which this shooting was done was forg-
ing ahead in the open sea at 10 knots.

THE PAST WEEK OF WAR.
Russians Fortify Tie Pass-Japs Re-
cuperate.

cuperate.
The past week was one OF inactivity
at the scene of war, so far as actual
engagements were concerned. Kuro-
patkin was at Mukden, and a large
part of mis- force was at work on the
Notifications Of Tie pass. The main
army of Oyama remained in the vicin-
lily OF fentai, recuperatfng after the
severe work around Liaoyang and, de-
spite Russian surmises, evidently get
ting in form for another advance
movement. The Baltic feet was re-
ported to have sailed from Cronstadt,
and the Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena
arrived at San Francisco.
On Monday Kuroki was reported to
have fallen back to join the main army
at Yentai, while on Tuesday it was
said that a Japanese force was within
"a miles of Mukden, but not moving
north. Preparations by the Russians
for resistance at Mukden continued,
and work on the Tie pass Notifications
was pushed vigorously.
Kuropatkin's official report of the
battle of Liaoyang was made public
Wednesday, and the Russian comman-
der said that his losses were below
1900, OF which $500 were killed. The
Japanese remained stationary, but
were reported to have taken over the
local administration of the Manchu-
rian districts occupied by them.
Late in the week work of dismantl-
ing the Russian cruiser began at San
Francisco, and on Friday the Japanese
were reported as concentrating at
Bensiaputze, about 20 miles southeast
of Mukden. The larger part of the
army, however, was still at Yentai.
With the close of the week it was
evident that another Japanese advance
had begun, an early report from Muk-
den yesterday announcing that the for
ward movement of Oyama was from
the east, southeast and southwest. Out
posts were closely engaged and there
was almost constant skirmishing. All
the indications point to another battle
this week, either at Mukden itself or
at the strong positions to the north,
which the Russians have fortified since
their retreat from Liaoyang.
