RUSSIANS ON GUARD
JAPANESE ATTEMPT TO BOTTLE
UP PORT ARTHUR PROVES
TOTAL FAILURE.

st. Petersburg, March 29.-Under
cover Of darkness Sunday morning
Vice Admiral Togo made another des-
perate attempt to bottle up the Rus
sian fleet in Port Arthur, but he failed
again, and when, after, daylight, Vice
Admiral Makaroff steamed out to give
battle the Japanese commander re-
fused the challenge and sailed away.
The Japanese practically repeated
the tactics Of Feb. "a by sending In
four fire ships, preceded by torpedo
boat f1otilla, with the exception that
the fire ships this time were armed
with Hotchkiss guns for the purpose
of keeping off the Russian torpedo
boat destroyers.
The enemy's attempt was discov.
cred by means of the shore search.
lights and heavy fire was opened
from the batteries and from two gun.
boats which were guarding the en-
trance to the harbor.
The Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Stilni was outside on scouting duty
and to the dash and nerve Of her COM
mander, Lieutenant Krinizki, Is chiefly
due the complete defeat Of the plans
of the Japanese.
He at once made straight for the
oncoming ships under hail Of fire
from the Hotchkiss guns and torpe.
doed the leading ship, which sheered
off, followed by the others, three Of
them being piled up on the shore un'
der Golden hill and one under the
lighthouse.
Attacks Six Torpedo Boats.
The Stilni then engaged the entire
six torpedo boats of the enemy, COM
ing out from terrific fight with seven
killed and her commander and twelve
of her complement wounded, but on
the Japanese side only one boats crew
was saved.
In addition, according to unofficial
reports, it is believed that the JAP
anese lost two torpedo boats.
The Japanese cruisers which sup.
ported the attack exchanged shots
with the batteries and then drew of,
after which Vice Admiral Makaroft
took steam launch and examined the
fire ships.
An hour later the Japanese torpedo
fotilla, followed by Vice Admiral
Togo's fleet, came up from q southerly
direction.
Just at daybreak Vice Admiral
Makaroff with his feet sailed out to
engage the enemy, but after the ships
and batteries had fired a few long dis.
tance shots Vice Admiral Togo decided
to decline the issue and disappeared
to the southwark.
The news of the repulse of the Jap
anese created much rejoicing in the
Russian capital and among all classes
the gallantry of the Stilni and her
commander is the subject of high
praise.
