naval officers believe that the Japanese
battle ship Mikasa was sunk in the en-
gagement of August 10. They declare that
while the japanese concentrated their fire
on the CZarevitch the Russians centered
theirs on the Mikasa, Admiral Togo's flag
ship. 1t was the Mikasa which the Retvi-
Zan attempted to ram during the fight.
The Retvizan had been receiving a gruel-
ing. and her captain suddenly gave an or
der to steer into the midst of the Japanese
vessels and head for the Mikasa. So fully
surrounded was the Retvizan that at one
time she was using every one Of her guns.
One Japanese shot rendered her turret un-
workable, but repairs were made in ten
minutes.

To Lengthen Dry Dock at Norfolk.

1t has been found that the new dry dock
at the Norfolk navy yard Is barely large
enough to accommodate the largest cruisers
now under construction for the government,
and the naval constructor and engineer on
duty at that yard has recommended that
the dock be made fifty feet longer. Rear

yard, has recommended to the Navy De-
partment that the dock be made $50 feet
over all, by which he says the necessity for
building another dock will be postponed
