japanese Get the Best of the Fight
On All Sides
The LAST DESPERATE ATTACK
Admiral Toqo's Report Of Tuesdays
Operations-The Bloekadin9 fio''''a
Was Scattered by Gale.

Toxic, BY Cable.-Vice Admiral To-
COS official recital of the latest en-
easement off Port Arthur, which was
received here Sunday, shows that the
Japanese have blocked the entrance
to the harbor.
On Tuesday morning after the
blockading fotilla had been scattered
Inv gale and the commander Of the
flotilla had signalled in vain that the
attempt be abandoned pending the
moderation of the storm, the crews
of the separate vessels, in no wise
daunted by the weather which isolated
them from their companions, proceed
ed to the work on their own desperate
initiative. 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 de-
fenses, over the field Of mines.
Many of them exploded, yet five OF the
Japanese blockading ships were JAM
med into the channel and now pre-
vent egress from the harbor to all
craft excepting small boats. This at
tack exceeded all its predecessors in
desperation and the courage displayed
by the volunteer crews is equal to
that shown in any event in the war
history of the world.
Although Vice Admiral Togo again
avoided damage 10 single one OF his
vessels. the attack proved to be eX'
pensive in lives. Commander Haya-
shi, who was in command Of the ex-
pedition, observed the impossibility
of keeping the fiotilla intact, owing
to the heavy seas, and signalled to
abandon the attack.
These signals were repeated until 2
or 3 o'clock in the morning, but they
failed to reach the vessels Of the eX-
pedition, which were swept apart by
the tempestuous sea and proceeded
separatly to the mouth Of the harbor.
Driven From New Chwang.
New Chwang, BY Cable.-There is
every indication that the Russians
have decided to evacuate New
Chwang. Troops hav been leaving
here all day long. Forts have been
dismantled and all artillery has been
placed on board trains. All the local
transportation has been commanded
by the Russian authorities. There
is current here a native runor that
Japanese troops are in Fou Chou Bay
ION 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 il the
Russians leave and the Japanese do
not at once take possession Of New
Chwang, the brigands, who are now
across the river near Yin Kow, will
pillage the place. The foreign resi-
dents are prepared to resist the bri-
gands should they come over. The
British consul has requested that a
gunboat be sent to New Chwang.
The Russians probably will destroy
the gunboat Siv6utch before leaving.
The vessel is at New Chwang.
Japanese troops fired on what was
probably the last train out of Port
Arthur as it passed near Port Adams.

PORT ARTHUR IS BLOCKED

They used artillery and small arms,
and killed or wounded several Chi
nese.
1t is reported here that Viceroy
Alexieff was slightly wounded prior
to his departure from Port Arthur.
He barely escaped from there before
the japanese closed the lines of COM
munication.
The Russian general staff have
moved from Lao Yang to Mukden.
Russians here will not talk of the sit
uation, for fear that they will impart
some information. They do not con-
slider that their forces here are suffi-
cient to hold this section of the coun-
try.
1t is probable that the Russian
troops will withdraw to Harbin.
The Russian civilians at New
Chwang are leaving hurriedly, and
many natives are fleeing the city in
fear that they will be subjected to
mal-treatment at the hands of the
brigands.
More Bad News for Russia.
Two official dispatches calculated to
increase the depression existing among
all circles in Russia were given out
Sunday night. From the point of view
Of the progress of the campaign, the
most important is that regarding the
capture by the Japanese without oppo-
sition Of Feng Wang Cheng, on May
9th. The second gives details con-
cerning the killed, wounded and miss
ing among the troops under the COM
mand Of Lieutenant General Zassalitch,
as the result of the fighting on the
Yalu, the number of which totals 1897
officers and men.
Gen. Kuropatkin forwarded a meg
sage from Lieutenant General Zas-
salitch, who had been left in command
Of the column retiring from Feng
Wang Cheng. which described the
movements of the enemy in connection
with the occupation of the town.
The information caused no surprise
to the officials who had already been
advised of the decision that no at
tempt would be made to hold Feng
Wang Cheng, the superiority Of the
Japanese in all fighting arms ensuring
a disaster similar to that kiu Lien
Cheng. Therefore, Gen. Zassalitch
was given strict orders that there
should be no fight of the rear guard.
The Russians left while Gen. Kuroki
was making his dispositions for big
battle.
More Casualties.

the last attempt OF the japanese feet to

IN THE FAR EAST.

It is reported that the japanese
have landed 10000 troops at Kin
Chau. above Port Arthur. Thus
far. however, this report has not
been confirmed.
From Port Arthur comes a re-
mort of a ruse that was employed
nv the Japanese fleet in an effort
tn entice the Russians crippled
feet to sail out from the harbor.
One portion of the Japanese fleet
appeared, pursued and fired at by
the other portion. The plan was
to make the Russians think that
the squadron pursued was that of
Reitzenstein from Vladivostok. try
ing to effect a junction with the
Russians Port Arthur fleet. The
Russians did not rise to the lure.
The Russians have placed guns
commanding the crossings of the
Yalu river. Kuropatkin does not
intend to risk battle on the Yalu,
but purposes harassing the enemy
before a crossing can be effected.
No confirmation of the rumor that
a Japanese column has been cut to
pieces on the Yalu river.
