port from Admiral Togo reports des-
perate and successful torpedo attack at
the entrance of Port Arthur last Nom
day night, June 27. in which a Russian
guardship and a Russian torpedo boat

The torpedo boat destroyer was struck
and then blew up and sank.
Admiral Togo reports the loss Of one
officer and thirteen men killed and one

The twelfth torpedo fiotilla, under the
command Of Commander Yarnada, de-
liyered the attack, The japanese yes
sells were revealed by the Russian
searchlights, and the shore forts open
ed a heavy fire on them The Russian
guardship was surrounded and attack
ed by the Japanese who saw this yes
sci sink amid huge volumes Of water
thrown up by heavy explosions. Fol-
lowing this the Russian torpedo boat

MILITARY SITUATION.
Japanese Advance suspended According
to Russian Adyices.

ST. Petersburg, July 4, S:42 a. MOI
fetal news received up to July 2 in
dicates that the Japanese advance from
the south has been suspended along
with all other important movements at
the seat Of war. The authorities do
not expect much more than desultory
skirrnishing until the weather improves.
The situation is considered satisfactory
from the Russian standpoint.
There is evidence of considerable
sickness in the japanese camps. It is
believed here that the Japanese will
suffer more from the rainy weather
than will General Kuropatkin's forces.
One of the most striking features of
the situation is the lack of naval news
from the Russian side, but it is point
ed out that if the fleets have gone out
such news would be naturally slow in
coming through Russian sources.
