A special of Monday from Toxic
says: The Japanese dispatch boat Nj

striking a submerged mine. Eight cas-

mines were discovered and exploded
and the work was being suspended for
the day when the boat struck an un-
discovered mine which exploded, With
tremendous force under the stern on
the port side, and inflicted immense
damage to the hull. The Miyako
sank in twenty-five minutes.
Two sailors were killed and twenty
two men were wounded. The rest of
the crew were rescued. The news of
the loss of the Miyako has been sor-
rowfully received in Toxic. The IAN
gerous character of the work in which
the Miyako was engaged is generally
appreciated, but it. was thought that
the loss of torpedo boat No. 48 under
similar circumstances last Thursday
would serve as warning to those
engaged in the work to exercise the
greatest care.

gStrenqth of Fleet Unknown.

It is impossible to give an accura.s
list of the effectire Russian warshlps
at Port Arthur, but some idea OF ihe
state Of the fleet can be formed from
the official report Of Viceroy AleXicF
to Emperor Nicholas concerning The
engagement Of April Is, in which the
,Petropavlovsk was sunk and the 20.
bieda was seriously damaged.
; In the report the vicefoy said: The
whole effective squadron at Port Ar
thur sailed out" He then enumerated
as the units of the fleet the first class
battle ships Peresyiet, Pobieda, Po'
lava, Petropavlovsk and Sevastopol,
the armored cruisers Bayan, the first
class protected cruisers Askold and
Diana, the second class protected cruis-
:er Novik, two torpedo cruisers and
five torpedo boat destroyers.
: It will, therefore, be seen that on
the day after the destruction OF ine
Petropavlovsk the Russians at Port
Arthur had available three battle ships
one armored cruiser and three project
ed cruisers. The number Of topedo
boats or torpedo boat destroyers effect
i've or disabled is not known. .-.'
