reports from Port Arthur as follows:
six torpedo boats which went to
sea on the night of March 10 encoun-
tered the enemy's torpedo boats, fol-
lowed by cruisers. A hot action en-

On the way back the torpedo boat de-

1.-The illumination of the sea at
night by the searchlights was most
satisfactory and several times shot
from our batteries forced the enemy $
torpedo boats to retire.
1.-The crews of all the ships engaged
gave proof of remarkable GOODNESS in
action Below decks the work of the
day followed its ordinary course, in
spite of the shells falling between the
vessels and covering them with frag-
ments.
"A Commandment at such distance
must be regarded as ineffective, but
the Japanese cruiser Takasago is re-
ported to have been seen to suffer seri-
GUS damage, the extent of which, how
ever it was impossible to ascertain at
a distance of five miles. Many shells
We're fired at a range of seven and Il
