PETROGRAD, Aug. 25.-The recent
naval battle in the gulf of Riga Is
described as follows in statement
from navy headquarters.
1.-The German fleet on August 10
renewed with large forces its attack
on our positions at the entrance TO
the gull of Riga. Our ships during the
10th and 18th repulsed' the attack OF
the enemy, whose secret preparations
for entering the gulf had been sim
gularly favored by misty. weather.
sTak:ng advantage of thick fog
hostile forces OF considerable size en-
tered the gulf on the 18th and our
vessels retired at the same time, con-
tinuing to resist the enemy without
losing touch with him.
.On the 18th and Goth the enemy
reconnoitered in differen. directions
at the same time keeping up fight
with our ships, in which their torpedo
boat iltilla suffered material losses.
On our side we lost the gunboat ST.
vutch, which persisted gloriously in
an unequal fight witn an enemy
cruiser, which was escorting torpedo
craft. The Sivutch. enve1oped In
flames. continued to reply shot for
shot until it sank, having previously
sunk enemy torpedo boats.
I'm view of the losses suffered and
the futillty of his efforts the enemy
appears to have evacuated the gulf
Of Riga on the 91st- Between the
,ksxh and 21st two enemy cruisers
snd no fewer than eight torpedo boats
were either sunk or placed hors de
combat simultaneously our gallant
allies succeeded in torpedoing in the
Raltic one of the most powerful dread
