Russian View Of Naval Battle.

st. Petersburg, June 26.-Up to to-
night the japanese report OF the loss of
three Russian ships at Port Arthur has
not been published here. though the
authorities have allowed to be printed
n statement that the squadron had made
a sortie and also the news of the loss
OF the japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers. Some of the papers have even
commented with satisfaction on the
prospect of fight on the open sea,
where the merits OF the two fleets
you'd be fairly tested
An official explanation OF the oppo-
sition OF the japanese report is that the
admiralty Is unwilling to unnecessarily
alarm the public by the circulation OF
such statements entirely on the auth
ority of the enemy and in the absence
Of definite adyices from the command
,r at Port Arthur. II is also suggested
as possible that there has been a fight.

their own losses and magnified those of
