Admiral Makaroff inaugurated his
assumption of the command Of the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur by a com.
plete change of tactics. AS soon as
he appeared he ordered the removal OF
the battleship RetyiZan. which was
stranded at the mouth of the harbol
and barred the channel at certain
stages OF the tide, making the egress
OF battleships impossible. During the
morning he directed sortie OF the
torpedo boat fotilla, supported by a
part OF the Russian squadron, against
the japanese squadron.-~The details
are not YET known except that the tsr
counter resulted in the loss OF one
