Chicago, March 13.-Captain Ma
sumura, who acted as signal officer
on the Mikasa, Admiral Togos flag
ship, during the first attack on Port
Arthur, February 9th, gives graphic
story Of the fight in the Jill Shimpo.
Japan's most widely circulated news
paper, of February 18th. Copies Of
the paper have Just been received by
Shezaburo Shimizu. Japanese consul
for Chicago. The account by Captain
Matsumura is the first from jap
,anese eye witness.
1.-THE second class cruiser Chitose
and two other smaller vessels were
dispatched at Q a. M, February 9th,
toward Port Arthur to reconnoiter.
They reported sighting five Of the en-
emy's boats, who fired on them. The
fortress did not fire, so Admiral Togo
signaled:
".Attack the main fleet at once
"As the Japanese fleet proceeded
toward Port Arthur there were met
coming out of the harbor a Japanese
and Russian merchantmen, the Man.
,churia. The Russian vessel was cap
tured without firing u shot.
"At IL a. M, at q distance of ten
knots from Port Arthur, one of the
!enemy's scout boats was sighted and
two shots sent after it. 1t returned to
the harbor.
"Then the Japanese fleet formed in
fighting line and approached the har-
,bor. We saw the Russian men Of war
trying to get back under shelter of the
fort guns. The Mikasa fired first and
then raised the attacking flag, the en-.
emy answered, and the engagement
became general The Russian shells
fell short but the fire from the for
tress damaged the feet slightly.
