the Russians were driven beyond the
Yalu river.
Squadron Discovered.
Toxic, March Sit is believed that
the Russian Vladivostok squadron is
now in the vicinity of the mouth of the
Tumen river, engaged in covering the
movement of troops from Possiet bay
to the valley of Tumen. Russian
scouts are reliably reported to have
penetrated south as far as Kiung-Sung
northeastern Korea was regarded as a
diversion, but it ROW appears that a
considerable force participated. 1t is
thought that the Russians may occupy
and fortify some strong position on
the Tumen river. Reports regarding
Russian movements in northwestern
Korea are meager and unreliable. The
force north of the Yalu is being in
creased, but it is doubted if any con-
siderable number of Russians have
crossed the river.
V1adivostok Bombarded. .
Vladivostok, March 8.-A fleet of five
Japanese battleships and two cruisers
appeared off this place at 1925 o'clock
Sunday afternoon and bombarded the
town and shore batteries for IS minutes.
The feet approached from the direction
of Askold island, at the east entrance
to Ussuri bay and about 80 miles south
east of Vladivostock. Entering Ussuri
bay the enemy formed in line of battle
but did not approach to closer range
than mile and one-third. They directed
their fire against the shore batteries and
the town, but no damage resulted, as
most of the 200 lyddite shells failed tc
burst.
Russians Remain Silent
The Russian batteries, commanded by
Gems. Veronetz and Artamonoff, did moi
reply, awaiting closer approach of the
| enemy. The Japanese fire ceased at 2:2(
p. m. and the enemy retired in the direc.
ton of Askold island. simultaneously
two torpedo boat destroyers appeared
| near Askold island and two more neal
| Cape Maidel. The Japanese ships were
| covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to the
Russians, but cost the enemy 100000
roubles (s100,O0O) in ammunition. Mos
of the projectiles were six and 12-incl
shells.
The population of Vladivostock wa!
warned of the presence on the horizon o.
the presence of a hostile fleet and tn,
prospect of attack during the day. but i
remained tranquil

In the quarter of the city called tn

1t finally burst near the regimenta
safe, which was standing in the court
yard.
Five sailors were slightly wounde
by the explosion Of a shell in tn
courtyard of the Siberian naval bal
racks. Outside of these casualties n
one was killed or injured and ther
was no outbreak of fire anywhere i
the city. The fact that the Russia
batteries did not reply to the Japanes
bombardment was due partially to til
/ slight chance Of hitting the enemy
Warships at such long range an
partially to a desire not to betray tn
position of the batteries.
1t is now thought that the attackin
squadron consisted of battleshi
four armored cruisers and two unprt
tected cruisers.
