ports of day attack by the Japanese
naval forces upon the Russians at Port

Baron Hayashi during the morning.

ance with plans long matufed. AS

rea | look for an important fleet action
at Port Arthur. The Russian vessels
arc not likely TO give up the advantage
they gained by being under the cover
Of their land batteries By going TO
the Chinese side, however, the Jap
anese fleet, by high angle fire, can
drop in shells which should make 1t
uncomfortable for the Russian ships
lying moored close TO one another.
Thereby it is hoped to drive out Vice
roy Alexeff's S forces. Possibly. like
Admiral Cervera. he may anticipate
fate and come into the open OF his
own accord. The present events mere

of Port Arthur from strategic view
