japanese OpedOed the Russian Fleet and Then Escaped
Uniniured, Winning the First Great Naval Victory
Intense Gloom at ST. Petersburg
Over the Disaster

St. Petersburg, Feb. 9;--Admiral
Alexieff, the Russian vicerov 10 the
east, reported to the Car this morning
the opening Of the war with Japan
japanese torpedo boats, shortly af-
ter midnight this morning, attacked
that part Of the Russian squadron in
the outer roadstead at Port Arthur
and sunk two Of the big Russian bat
tleships and one cruiser.
The Russian ships we're torpedoed,
and had little warning ofth ir impend-
ing fate, going down with all on
board.
The werships destroyed are the Rev
i'zap and Czareyitch battleships, and
the cruiser Pallada.
The japanese fleet escaped unharm-
ed and it is supposed without losing a
man.
There is no report of the Russian
casualties, but the loss is total and
what is worse, it leaves the Russian
war feet so crippled that it will be un-
able TO face the japanese.
This disaster, almost before the war
began, has cast an intense gloom over
st Petersburg, and in fact over Russia.
Previous to the news, there was gen
eral contempt for Japan as fighting
power.

which had been chartered by the Rus
sian government and was engaged "
loading up with II cargo of coal ana
stores to Port Arthur.
The Japanese encountered no resist
ance, and the steamers have now been
placed under a guard.
1t is reported that two other Russian
vessels have been taken outside ana
escorted TO Saseho
A special dispatch from Berlin sNyS
that a strong fleet Of japanese war
ships, reported TO he on its way to Chs
mulpo, Korea. has seized several Rus
sian trading steamers.
The rumor that some Russian mer-
chant ships have been captured BY
Japanese wArships has reached tlfs
Japanese legation.
The japanese have cut the cable cos
meeting Japan and Korea. The object
OF this action is to prevent news Of tie
operations of the Japanese army reach
ing the Russians.
1t is learned that among the troops
sent by Russia tn the vicinity Of the
Yalu river are 5000 Cossachs, whose
province 1t is to destroy the cOmmuni
cations of any Japanese army landing
along the coast or trying to strike the
Port Arthur railroad Military experts
consider this Il good tactical move, for
the reason that the Japanese have only
y small cavalry force.
A dispatch from Port Arthur says
Japanese troops have landed at Ma
sampho. that the Russian warships at
Port Arthur frequently put to sea and
that the inhabitants of Seoul are un-
easily expecting the arrival Of the jap
