ST. PETERSBURG: The complete
story of the fierce fight oft Port Arthur
between torpedo flotillas which oc-
curred Wednesday and the bombard-
ment which followed on Thursday
morning was not given out here until
after midnight.
Two official messages from Viceroy
Alexieff had been received during the
day and presented to the emperor, but
the public remained in suspense. All
sorts of rumors of the Information
contained in the dispatches were
spread among the officials, but they
did not have the texts and were under
the Impression that Admiral Makaroff
had directed the attack upon the ene-
my's fleet. When the texts appeared
it became evident that the collisions
between the torpedo flotillas had oc-
curred accidentally during the night,
while the Russians were scouting in
search of the enemy.
As far as is known here, this is the
first time torpedo boats have engaged
each other at sea. Although the odds
were against the Russians, as the Ja
panese flotilla was supported by the
cruiser squadron, the Russians made a
heroic dash for the foe and apparent-
ly had the better of the combat, sink-
ing a Japanese torpedo boat, until the
cruisers got within range and one of
the latter's shells crippled the Stere-
guschtchi.
Appreciating the misfortune of the
division of the fleet before the war.
it is believed that Admiral Makaroff
will attempt to unite his forces by
bringing the Vladivostock squadron
to Port Arthur.
Repairs on the battleship Retvizan
will be completed in a few weks, but
the battleship Czarevitch is so badly
damaged that it is not thought that
she can participate in any of the op-
erations for a long time.
Not much importance Is attached
here to the bombardment, on account
of the great distance of the enemy
from the batteries. Their cruisers
took refuge behind the Liaotchin pro-
montory, fearing to expose themselves
to the direct fire of the forts.
The removal of the battleship Ret-
vizan from the mouth of the inner har
bor. which marked the assumption of
command by Admiral Makaroff. will
permit the free exit of the heavy ar-
mored ships. It had been believed that
the reason why the Russian ships had
not made a sortie before was the ap-
prehension of meeting with a superior)
force but it is now clear that the ships
were unable to leave. With the chan-
nel open it is expected that Admiral
Makaroff will make the squadron an
aggressive force.
