Vladivostok, March IA feet OF
five Japanese battleships and two
cruisers appeared off this place at 1925
o'clock Sunday afternoon and bonn
barded the town and shore batteries
for ffty-ive minutes. :
The fleet approached from the direc-
ton of Askold island at the east en-
trance to Usuri bay and about thirty
two miles southeast of Vladivostok.
Entering Usuri bay the enemy formed
in line of battle, but did not approach
to a closer range than a mile and one
third. They directed their fire against
the shore batteries and the town, but
no damage resulted, as most OF their
200 lyddite shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries, commanded
by Generals Vernotz and Artomanofts
did not respond.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2::3O p.
m. and the enemy retired in the drec-
ton of Askold island.
simultaneously two torpedo boat
destroyers appeared near Askold is
land and two more near Cape Madel.
The Japanese ships were covered
with ice. The attack resulted In no
loss to the Russians, but cost the
enemy 100000 reubles ($100,000) in
ammunition. -.

Japanese Bombardment.
St. Petersburg, March 7.-Ofhcial
dispatches received here concerning
the bombardment of Vladivostok by a
Japanese fleet Sunday afternoon do
not mention any Russian losses,
but private advices say: that five
were killed, four sailors and the
wife of an engineer 1t is apparent
the Japanese were afraid to risk expos
ing, their ships to the plunging fire of
the land batteries, and it is consider
ed probable here that the, attack was
really for the purpose OF drawing the
fire of the Russian forts, compelling
the Russians to disclose their position
and calibre of their guns and also for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
the Russian squadron is in port. -. If
this was the object of the Japanese it
is believed to have failed signally, as
the batteries did not fire shot, and
if the squadron Is in port it could not
be seen from the Japanese position in
the Bay of Usuri on account of the
high land which rises from the coast
On that side, obstructing the view OF
the harbor.
