Russian Torpedo Boat Destroyer Seeks
Safety at Chefoo.

Chefoo, Aug. 12.-Captain Shesta-
kovsky of the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer Ryeshitelni, which emerged
from Port Arthur with the fleet
Wednesday morning and which ar
rived here early Thursday morning,
states that his engines broke down
when he was midway between Chefoo
and Port Arthur He proceeded at a
speed of twelve knots to this port.
He says he saw no japanese vessels.
He confirms previous statements
that the large Russian warships had
left Port Arthur, but refused to say
directly that the feet had gone on an
extended cruise, but left the inference,
in the course OF long interview, that
the warships expect to join the Vladi-
vostok squadron, which he said had
been recruited by the purchase Of snips
from the Argentine Republic. Captain
Shestakovsky said further that the
Russian torpedo boats, gunboats and
small craft generally remained at Port
Arthur. Some came out to perform
their usual duties In the vicinity, but
they did not follow the big ships.
Captain Shestakovsky said that the
recent firing heard at Chefoo evident
ly came from Port Arthur, where the
Japanese continue to attack daily with
scarcely less energy than they mani
tested during the severe three days
fighting the latter part of July. The
Japanese line, he said. now extends
from the north shore Of Louisa bay to
point Immediately east OF Taiche
bay, about seven miles east of Port
Arthur. The Japanese are, he alleged,
wasting lives with reckless courage.
Their positions are frequently lost,
retaken. then lost and retaken again.

RESULT or BATTLE NOT REPORTED
ONE TORPEDO BOAT REACHES
CHEFoo BUT FATE OF 9TH
ERS UNKNOWN.

Toxic, Aug. 12.-Fvident!y driven
to sea by the fire of the Japanese bat
teries the Russian feet emerged from
Port Arthur Wednesday morning. Ad-
miral Togo Immediately closed in and
opened severe engagement, which
lasted until nightfall. Afterwards the
destroyers and torpedo fleet delivered
q series of attacks. The Japanese
fleet withdrew during the night A
guardship stationed off the harbor re-
ported that she saw at dawn Thurs
day the battleships Retvizan and Po-
bieda steaming toward the harbor of
Port Arthur
Admiral Togo has not yet reported
the results of the engagement. 1t is
thought here that the Russians at
tempted to escape seaward from a
base which is no longer tenable, but
that they again refused to attempt to
force Admiral Togos line. Details
are expected hourly.
London, Aug. 12-The afternoon
papers here, while admitting that the
result of the engagement off Port Ar
thur is not clear, generally interpret
the conflicting reports from Toxic and
Chefoo as meaning that the bulk OF
the Russian squadron at Port Arthur
made sortie in the hope OF escaping,
but that only the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitclni, which reached
Chefoo. succeeded in getting away
and that the Ryeshitelni believed, as
indicated by the statement of her cap
tain, that the rest of the squadron
would be equally successful.
The papers recall Admiral Ceryeras
dash from Santiago, followed by the
speedy surrender of the town, and
consider that the sortie from Port Ar
thur indicates the impending fall Of
the fortress.

RUSSIANS ARE PLEASED.
Apparent Escape of Port Arthur Fleet
Arouses Great Interest.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 12.-The ap-
parent escape of the Port Arthur
squadron is arousing the most intense
interest here. No official news on the
subject had reached the admiralty
when correspondent showed the AS
sociated Press dispatch from Chefoo
TO Armiral Avellan, chief of the adj
miralty, but he expressed no surprise
and, on the contrary, did not conceal
his satisfaction. While the destina-
ton of the squadron is not admitted
there is no doubt that if it succeeds in
shaking off Admiral Togo it's purpose
is to effect juncture with the Vladi-
vostok squadron.

THE JAPANESE
Again Whip Russians, and
Whole Regiments killed In
Battle.

The main armies of Russia and
Japan in Manchuria continue to be
engaged in a desperate struggle for
supremacy south of Mukden. On botU
sides there have been such heavy
losses in killed and wounded as
mark the contest for one of the blood
fest Eattles In history. Already the
losses at Liao Yang have been ap-
proximated and the indications are
that they will be exceeded, that of the
Russian up to noon of October IA be-
ing estimated ut $4,000.
The Russian advance has been con-
veerted in a stubbornly fought Ie-
treat. The result, according to the
Russians, is still to be determined.
Reports from the Russian left wing
are lacking, leaving room for ques-
flor if that part of Gen. Kuropatkin's
army rs not in worse extremity than
the center and right were at any stage
of the battle.
. On both sides the soldiers have
shown the utmost tenacity and baveIy
and whole regiments have gone down
before the fire of the enemy.
