her to sink. The lieutenant of this
vessel, Uchida, Chief Engineer Aoki
and eight men are missing.
A steamer, thought to be the Asa
gawo Maru, which appeared to have
had her rudder broken. blew herself
up at the foot of Golden hill and sank
there.
Vice Admiral Togo, ia his report,
says:
This undertaking. when compared
with the last two, resulted in greater
casualties to our side. Owing to the
inclemency of the weather and the
increased preparations for defense
completed y the enemy, we could
save none of the officers or the crews
of the Otaru Maru, the Sagami Maru.
the Sakura Maru or the Asagawo
Maru. 1t is to be regretted that moth
ing particular could be learned con-
cerning their brave discharge of their
duties, but the memory of their ex-
emplary conduct will remain long in
the imperial navy.
THE destroyer and the torpedo boat
fiotillas, besides resisting the enemy
bravely, fought against wind and
waves. The torpedo boat fiotilla ap-
preached close to the mouth of the
harbOr and rescued more than half
the men. The torpedo boat No. 67 had
a steam pipe broken by shell and was
disabled, but consort, torpedo boat
No. 70. went to her assistance and
towed her away. Three of the crew of
No. 67 were wounded.
"The destroyer Actaka has her lar
board engine damaged by shell. and
one sailor on board of her was killed.
One sailor on board the Hayabusa was
killed by shell.
THE third detachment, Rear Admi-
raj Dewa commanding, reached Port
Arthur at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The first detachment, under Vice Ad-
miral Togo, and Rear Admiral Nashiha
second in command, arrived off Port
Arthur at Q in the morning for the
purpose of protecting the destroyer
and the torpedo boat fiotillas and to
search for the crews of the sunken
merchantmen. The vessels of these
detachments remained until o'clock
of Tuesday afternoon. but their search
was fruitless. The day was foggy, and
it was impossible to observe the condi-
tion of the enemy.
"The detachment then returned to
their base, and since the morning of
May they have been engaged in other
operations"

shows that the Japanese have blocked
the entrance to the harbor.
Tuesday morning, after the block
aiding fiotilla had been scattered by a
gale and the commander of the flotilla
had signaled in vain that the attempt
be abandoned, pending the moderation
OF the storm, the crews of the sepa-
rated ships. nowise daunted by the
weather which isolated them from
their companions. proceeded to the
work on their own desperate initia-
tive.
They forced their way in the face
of the Russian fire, which was more
deadly than ever before as a result of
the improved Russian defenses, over
the field of mines.
Many of these exploded. yet five out
of the Japanese blockading ships were
jammed into the inner channel and
now prevent egress from the harbor
to all craft excepting small boats.
This attack exceeded all its prede-
cessors in desperation, and the cour-
age displayed by the volunteer crews
in equal to that shown in any event in
the war history OF the world. AL
though Vice Admiral Togo again avoid
ed damage to a single one of his YES
sells. the attack proved to be expensive
in lives.
The blockading flotilla consisted of
eight stone-laden merchantmen. They
were escorted by the gunboats Akagi,
Commander Fugimoto, and Choikai.
Commander Iwamura; the second tor
pedo boat destroyer fiotilla. under the
command of Commander Shida; the

Commander Mano; the ninth torpedo
boat flotilla, Commander Yashima; the

Otaki. and the fourteenth torpedo boat
fotilla, Commander Sakurai.
The blockading vessels and their es-
cort left the main squadron for Port
Arthur Monday evening. They en-
countered southeasterly gale. and by
IL o'clock at night the seas were noun
famous. and it was found impossible
to keep the steamers together. Com

London, May 9.-For all practical
purpose the Japanese now control the
whole area south of a line drawn from
New Chwang to Feng Wang Cheng, in
cluding all the Lao Tung peninsula,
except Port Arthur.
A military correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, commenting on the
situation, says:
Evidently it is an effective pursuit
of a thoroughly beaten army that is
going on. Cavalry, well ahead of in
fantry. has defeated the Russians at
Chalichal, on the road to Siugen, and
at points on two other roads toward
Haishang and Lao Yang.
1.-The forts along the Lao river. on
which ouch elaborate pains have been
expended, are being dismantled. 1t will
be remembered this was another of the
places that we have been repeatedly told
from st. Petersburg had been rendered
impregnable and about which 1t was
said the Japanese had missed their op-
portunity and lost their chance.
CLEARLY an advance such as this.
wi the post of New Chwang already
virtually available for a fresh Japan
ese landing, renders the Russian posi-
tions at Hal Cheng and Lao Yang very
precarious. Before long General Kuro-
XII will be able to obtain supplies from

2 o'clock in the morning. but they
failed to reach the vessels of the ex-
pedition. which were swept apart by
the tempestuous seas, and proceeded
separately to the mouth of the harbor.
Upon arriving there the Mikawa Maru,
one of the merchantmen, saw that the
enemy was firing upon the fourteenth
torpedo flotilla. The men on board
the Mikawa Maru thought the other
steamers had reached the harbor
mouth. and they steamed boldly in.
She was followed closely by another
OF the merchantmen, believed to be
the Sakura Maru.
The Russians had fires burning at
the mouth of the harbor. and they used
also many powerful searchlights on
the invading Japanese vessels. They
poured an incessant fire into the chan
mel.

mand of the Mikawa Maru. unhesitat-
ingly forced his ship into the channel.

the harbor and sank. Following the
Sakura Maru came the Totomi, Tchido
Maru, the Otaru Maru, the Sagami
Maru and the Asagowa Maru. These
six steamers advanced to the mouth
of the harbor.
The Russian fire now became highly
effective. while a number of sunken
mines which were struck by the steam
ers began to explode.
These explosions caused heavy cas-
ualties among the Japanese on board
the blockading vessels. The Totomi
collided with boom. This turned her
stem to the eastward and she sank
athwart the passage. blocking nearly
one-half of the entrance to the harbor.
When the Yedo Maru reached the
mouth of the passage and was lower

ant Nagata succeeded to the command.
He anchored the Yedo Maru and sank

seems to have seized on the Russian
forces. They have abandoned New
Chwang without striking blow. dis
mantling the forts there in the dead of
the night and shipping the big guns on
railway cars to Lao Yang to help Ku-
ropatkin resist General Godama, who
is hurrying to attack him at the head
of the victorious army of the Yalu.
1t is at Lao Yang General Kuropat-
kin has determined to make his de-
cisive stand. and within a few days
the crucial land fight of the campaign
will take place.
New Chwang. May Z. 9 a. m.-There
is every indication that the Russians
have decided to evacuate New
Chwang. Troops have been leaving
here all day long. The forts have been
dismantled and all the artillery has
been placed on board trains. All the
local transportation has been com
mandeered by the Russian authorities.
There is current here a native rumor
that japanese transports are in Foo
Chau Con the west side of the Lao
Tung peninsula and about sixty miles
north of Port Arthur. but this report
lacks confirmation.
The fear is held here that II the Rus
SLAMS leave and the Japanese do not
at once take possession of New
Chwang. the brigands. who are now
across the river, near .Ying Kow. will
pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the brig

British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chwang.
The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Sivoutch before leaving.
The vessel is at New Chwang.
Japanese troops fired on what prob
ably was the last train out of Port Ar
thur as it passed near Port Adams.
They used artillery and small arms,
and killed or wounded several Chinese.

barely escaped from there before the
Japanese closed the lines of communi-
cation.

DEATH OF BRITISH ADMIRAL. |


DEATH OF BRITISH ADMIRAL.
LONDON, October 2O.-AdmiraI Van
Sittart is dead.
Admiral Edward Westby Van Sittart,
whose death occurs at the age of eighty
four, was the son of Vice Admiral
Henry Van Sittart, distinguished
British naval officer who was severely
wounded at the battle of Toulon and
won Nelson's warm commentator for
his work at Calvi. The son. the late
Admiral, led a very active life in wars
that occurred so long ago that the pre-
sent generation knows of them only
through history In 1899 Van Sittart
was present at the reduction of Kura-
chez and at the other operations in the
Persian Gulf. During the China War
of 1912 he won distinction for his work
as mate of the flagship CORVALLIS. He
saw service in the Russian War Of 1866
and during the same year was engaged
in the suppression Of the then blood
thirsty pirates of the China seas des-
troying a feet Of forty war junks,
pirate stronghold, rescuing a party of
English ladies and doing other brisk
work for which he received the thanks
Of the Chinese government. Later he
took the Prince of Wales, now King
Edward, TO the British colonies in Ame-
RIGA and in 1872 was sent in the ship
sultan" TO Harve, France to salute
the President Of the Republic. He re-
tired from active service in 1873.
