Aian ships Were sunk or damaged in
Lle tight off Port Arthur on June %
He declares that after clearing away
the Ja,'anese mines the whole Russian
neet returned safely TO the harbor. He
says two japanese torpedo boats were

mander Of the Russian military forces

Of Rear Admiral Withoeft re-entered
that port after repulsing five torpedo
boat attacks It contains no further
details. II does not mention any dam
age 10 the Russian ships, and the
belief of the authorities that Admiral

sted is confirmed.

VESSEL CARRIES DISPATCHES.
NJ "a ID " ANNT, June oU.-Ine bQS-
sian tOrpedo-boat destroyer Lieutenant
Burul1off arrived here from Port Ar
thur yesterday evening and is berthed
alongside the gunbOat Sivouch. The
officers Of the Lieutenant Burukoff tell
several stories. one is that Admiral
Togo's report Of the fighting was ex-
sggerated and that the Russians have
made two cruises in the Gulf Of Pechili
IN i've days. Another is that the Port
Arthur feet has Joined the VladivOstOk
squadron.
The destroyer was crowded with
men. She had the appearance of hav-
ing been in a general engagement, her
bow gun having been shot away, and il
looked as II she had rescued many
men.
The Lieutenant Burukoff is one Of
the torpedo boat destroyers taken from
the Chinese at Taku in 1900. The gen
ersl belief here is that she ran Admiral
TOgo's blockade and came here with
dispatches for the army and for st.
Petersburg. This would be quite nat
ural, as two Cossack officers are on
board.
The Russians last night celebrated
the arrival Of the Lieutenant Burukoff.
Bands Of music from the camp east Of
the town were sent TO the Administra-
tors house, where there was singing
and champagne dinner.
