promptness and bravery with which
they acted.
Contending Forces.
Tuesday, Feb. 9, the Japanese fleet
came in sight about II o'clock. There
were in all fifteen ships in two lines
of battle, six battleships, six frst-class
cruisers and three second-class cruis-
erS.
The Russians had outside of the
harbor thirteen large vessels under
Admiral Starko, the flagship Petro-
pavlovsk and Rear Admiral Prince
Moktompsky (flagship Peresviet), ex-
Guiding the Pallada, Czarevitch, the
flagship of Rear Admiral Nollas and
the Retvisan, which was lying aground
across the inner harbor entrance. 1t
was low water.
Action was commenced by the big
guns Of the land battery. Regiments
came pouring thru the town to take
up defensive positions in the event
of the Japanese landing.
Three Hundred Shots Fired.
The Japanese warships steamed
slowly past in line of battle to the
: westward and about four miles off,
each vessel beginning fire when OPP
posite the Russian ships, which were
two miles off shore. The action quick
ly became general. There was no
| maneuvering, simply heavy fast fir
ing on both sides. Over 800 shells
were fired. A few reached their mark,
the others did not explode.
! Firing ceased at noon, the Japanese
ships withdrawing southwark having
lost one battleship. One large cruiser
was put out of action, and one small
boat was chased and sunk by the
Novik, which afterwards received a
| shell at her waterline.
Even the three ships aground fired
| during the action. Afterwards the
Czarevitch got off at high water and
| was towed into a large basin, where
she is now being repaired. The Pal.
lada effected her own repairs and re.
| joined the fleet. The casualties were
| twenty-five killed and sixty-foui
wounded. Nearly half the casualties
occurred on the Pallada and Novik.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Has the

at Port Arthur and that the Russian
ships disabled there, in the first. en-

commission, not by torpedo boats, as
reported, but by torpedoes fired from
submarines. This, if true, would ex-
plain many things that have been re-

would account for the escape of the
Japanese craft, scot free, from under
the very guns of the Port Arthur bat
teries and the Russian squadron.
Positive information has been re-

The plans were prepared entirely
by the constructors of the Japanese
navy and they were built with the
utmost secrecy. Their construction
was hurried so they would be ready
in time to be used against Russia.
They are thought to have been COM
pleted three or four months ago..
It Is the theory Of several high
naval officials that these boats were
used in the attack on the ships at
Port Arthur, and that the Japanese
torpedo boat destroyers that were seen
in the roadstead were used to cover
their attack and conceal the fact that
submarines were used. -

The intention, without any
doubt whatever. of the city council is
to maintain the parks of the city in
the best possible manner. There has
always heen a considerable liberality
in dealing with rhe peoples pleasure
grounds. But unquestionably the
WORK that has been done has benefited
more than open patches of ground
upon which grass has grown. This
is not said in carping criticism of
what has been attempted. because we
believe that every member of this
council and in fact every other coun-
Gil preceding it, has intended that
the parks should benefit by whatever
money has been spent upon them.
The fault lies in the fact that men
have been placed in charge of the
landscape gardening or parking When
man wants a piece of sculpture,
he don't go to a carpenter neither can
much be expected from man who
has never lad any practical training
in such work. The only plat of
ground that bears anv resemblance to
park, is the one on Ute avenue, fac
ing the Park opera house. But even
with what attention has been paid
to the grounds, theylook shabby and are
not what they should be for the mon
ey that has been spent upon them. The
best investment the city could make
would be to hire for one season reg
ularly trained workman aud model the
parks into the sem blance of what was
intended that they should be. The
money spent upon them is about as
effective as the rioney spent in the
throwing more adobe, where sufficient
adobe already existed. Caring for the
parks may be included in the minds
of some as part of the minor duties of
the city officials, but in the estimation
of many, it is one of the II ost impor-
tant subjects to which the council
could give attention.
