London, Feb. 16.-The voluminous
dispatches from the far East publish
ed here this morning are again char
acterized by absence of real light on
the situation. Numerous unconfirmed
and conflicting rumors are given, and
among them is report of another en-
gagement at Port Arthur in which the
Russians lost eight vessels sunk, and
ten captured.
A correspondent of the Daily Mail
who witnessed the engagement off
Port Arthur confirms his previous &C.
counts of the fight and asserts again
that one Japanese torpedo boat was
sunk and another deserted by it's
crew in a sinking condition and subse-
quently captured by the Russians. He
says also that the Japanese lost one
battleship and had one cruiser put
out of action, and that the colonel of
the Fifteenth Russian regiment was
killed by shell during the lombard
ment.
