Arthur.

Toxic. Tuesday, March 90 p. NJ
Vice Admiral Togo's recital of the
second attempt to bottle up the Port
Arthur squadron and the sixth attack
on that port. which reached Toxic, to-
day is in full rs follows:
The United squadron again left for
Port Arthur last Saturday on Sun
day morning at $50 we commenced
preparations for blocking the harbor
entrance. The four steamers which
We're to be sunk. escorted by n hotillI
Of torpedo boat dnStroycrs. advanced to
the entrance. facing the cnemys
seIrchlights. about two miles from the
entrance. The bottling up squadron
was discovered by the enemy. Exposed
to the fire Of the fortresses on each
side and also 10 that from the cnemy's
ships on guard. and Drawing these
dangers. the four steamers ran into the
water way ut the mouth of the harbor.
One of the steamers the Chyomaru an
chored about half chain from the
west shore of Golden Hill. blew itself
up and sank. The second one the
Fukuinaru passing to the left of the
Chiyomaru advanced a short distance
''i'' "'tS ~ come 10 dncnOf NncD
she was struck by torpedo from tho
enemN's destrOyers. She sank in that
position. The third one. the Yahilko-
maru went to the left of the Fukuima-
ri and blew herself up and sank. The
fourth steamer the Yoneyamaru reach
ed the harbor entrance and colliding
against the stern of one of the enemy's
topedo destroyers. managed to reach
the middle of the passage by passin~
between the Chiyomaru and Fukuma-
ru. just At that moment one of the
"nemys torpedoes struck and sank her.
The momentum brought her toward the
left shore and with her bow toward the
left side she sank sidewise To have
to accomplished the work so far under
such great disadvantages and dangers
must be considered success and
should command admiration. 1t is to
BE- regretted however. that owing 10
some space being left between tho

complete blocking of the entrance has
not been effected.
