NAVAL FIGHT IN
GULF OF RIGA 4
COM PLETE ROUT
German Fleet Was Put to
Flight After Suffering
Heavy Losses.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Petrograd, Aug, 23.-(via London)
The naval battle of the Gulf of
Riga is described as follows in
statement from navy headquarters:
t'The German fleet on August Is
renewed with large forces it's attacks
on our positions at the entrance to
the Gulf of Riga. Our ships during
the 18th and 18th repulsed the at
tacks of the enemy, whose secret pre-
parations for entering the gulf had
been favored singularly by mysty
weather. Taking advantage of thick
fog, hostile forces of considerable size
entering the gulf on the 18th and our
vessels retired at the same time con-
tinuing to resist the enemy without
losing touch with him.
son the 10Th and goth the enemy
reconnoitered in different directions
at the same time keeping up fight
with our ships, in which our torpedo
boat fiotilla suffered material losses.
On our side we lost the gunboat Siv-
utch, which persisted gloriously in an
unequal fight with an enemy cruiser
which was escorting torpedo craft and
came up to a distance of 400 yards
from her. The Sivutch, enveloped in
flames continued to reply shot for
shot until she sank, having previously
sunk enemy torpedo boats.
ain view of the losses suffered and
the futility of his efforts the enemy
appears to have evacuated the Gull
of Riga on the 21st.
Between the 10th and 21st, tive
enemy cruisers and no fewer thar
eight torpedo boats were either sunk
or placed hors de combat. Simultan.
eously our gallant allies succeeded ii
torpedoing in the Baltic one of the
most powerful dreadnoughts of the
German feet"
