EXPECT IMPORTANT NEWS
AIR OF EXCITEMENT PERvADES
RUSSIAN NAVAL AND MILL
TAhY CIRCLES.

st. Petersburg, June 2S.-Not since
the war began has such an air of ex
element pervaded the war office and
admiralty The news received during
the next few days Is expected largely
to determine the fate of the present
campaign on land and sea. The spirits
of the Russians have appreciably risen
at the prospect that, after all, the sor-
tie of the squadron of Rear Admiral
Without, in command of the naval
forces at Port Arthur, while 1t may
have resulted in the loss OF some of
the Russian ships has been successful.
A dispatch from Chefoo says that a
Chinese junk reports having seen two
big Japanese warships and several
torpedo boats damaged on Friday near
Port Arthur. This strengthens the be-
lief here that great sea fight has oc-
Cured and that the Japanese, who
alone are able through wireless teleg-
raphy to be in constant communica-
ton with their base, are Withholding
the news. The Vladivostok squadron
is at sea with the purpose of effecting
a juneture, as is generally believed,
with the Port Arthur squadron, and its
appearance on the scene could easily
turn the scale in favor of the Russians.
Decisive Battle Imminent
Some usually we'll informed per-
sonages at the war office are bold
enough to see In a report received
during the morning by the Bourse Ga
zette of the hasty retirement of Gen.
eral Oku evidence that the japanese
feet has suffered reverse and that
the communication of this intelligence
to General Oku, with the accompany
ing threat that his base at Pitsewo
may be attacked, compelled his with
drawal.
All direct news from the land side
indicates an immense and decisive bat
tie near Tatchekiao. According TO the
Associated Press advices General Ku-
ropatkin Is there, personally In COM
mand. The presence OF the military
attaches and newspaper correspond
ents Is also significant. Kuropatkin's
purpose seems TO be to try TO prevent a
juncture of General Oku's and General
Kuroki's armies The outposts are in
touch all along the line. Ii Kuroki has
met Kuropatkin's offensive move south
ward against Oku by an advance on
Haicheng, as the advices of the Asso-
ciated Press from Tatchekiao say, the
Russian ommander-in-chief seems TO
be seriously endangered unless he re-
tires or is strong enough TO present
two faces to the enemy. Kuroh was
only fourteen miles from the Russian
army Sunday, according TO dispatch
from the front, and the three armies
are so close together that decisive
battle appears to be inevitable.

REPORT OF ADMIRAL TOGO
DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIAN BAT

Toxic, June 2S.-Admiral Togo's de-

The report confirms the reported de-

the Russian plan.
The entire Russian feet steamed out
to sea In line of battle. Suddenly,
when within $4,000 fleters of the jap

battle and steamed back to an anchor
age outside the harbor, where during
the night the japanese destroyers and
torpedo boats made eight desperate at

entered the harbor on Friday, since
