(Copyrieht: 1904: BY Tho Tribune Assooistion)
London Feb. 23.-The reports Of a fresh at
tack upon Port Arthur come from various
sources. but details are meagre and contra
dictory. The capture OF several Russian torpedo
boats. the sinking OF another battleship, the re-
neWaI OF the bombar6nent Of the town and the
accidental destruction OF a couple Of destroyers
are among the details mentioned IN several
dispatches from Chinese sources two days are
given for The battle. but there is no argument
on one point. namely. that the Russian torpedo
hotflla was IN action and not well handled
Naval officers have expressed surprise that
the Russian doti1la was not IN better condition
for nghting. as the efficiency OF this arm OF the
japanese service was well known. The japanese

that there has been a combined attack on the
remnant OF the Russian feet at distance OF a
