Struck a Japanese
Mine.
DETAILS OF THE ATTACK
Russian Squadron Was Fleeing Be-

neuver BY Which Japanese Enticed
Gallant Makaroff to His Death. -.

Washington, D. c., April 18.-The
Japanese legation has received the fol-
lowing cablegram dated Toxic, April
l6:
Admiral Togo reports that the COM
bined fleet as previously planned COM
menced on the 18th Of April the eighth
attack on Port Arthur. The fourth
and the fifth destroyer fiotillas and
the fourteenth torpedo flotilla and the
keryo Maru reached the mouth of
Port Arthur at midnight of the 18th
and effected the laying of mines at sew
eral points outside of the port, defy
ng the enemy's searchlights.
1.-THE second destroyer fiotilla dis
covered at dawn of the 18th one Rus
sian destroyer trying to enter the har-
Dor and after ten minutes attack,
sunk her. Another Russian destroy
er was discovered coming from the
direction of Lao Tishan and was at
lacked, but she managed to flee into
the harbor. On our side no casual
ties except two seamen ON the lka-
Zuchi slightly wounded. There was
40 time to rescue the enemy's drowned
crews, as the Bayan approached. The
third fleet reached outside of Port
Arthur at 8 a. m. when the Bayan
came out and opened fire. Immediate
ly afterward the NoVik, Askold, Diana,
Petropavlovsk, Pobieda and Poltava
came out and made an offensive at
tack. Our third fleet answering and
gradually retiring, enticed the enemy
fifteen miles southeast Of the port
when our first feet suddenly appeared
before the enemy and attacked them.
while the enemy was trying to
regain the port battleship of the
Petropavlovsk type struck mines laid
by US the previous evening and sunk
at 1892 a. m. Although another ship
was observed to have lost freedom
Of movement, the confusion of the
enemy's ships prevented us from ident-
flying her. They finally managed to
regain the port. Our third feet suf-
fered no damage and the enemy's dam
age beside the above mentioned Is prob
ably slight also. They re-sailed April IA
toward Port Arthur. The torpedo
fotilla also joined at 3 a. m. and Z
a. m. No enemy's ship was found
outside tho port. Our first fleet ar
rived at the port at a. m. and dis
covered three mines laid by the enemy
and destroyed all. The Kasuga and
Nisshin were dispatched to the west
Of lao Tishan and made indirect
bombardment for two hours, it being
their first action. The new forts on
Lao Tishan finally silenced. Our
forces retired at 1890 p. m"

transports at Shwang Tai Use, twenty
miles southwest Of Takushan, with a
view to cutting of the retreat Of the
Port Arthur troops to Stu Yen and

preventing the troops stationed in
southern Lao Tung from effecting a
junction with the main Russian forces
