PORT ARTHUR.
The Japanese Fleet did not trouble Port Arthur for several days preceding the 13th (28th Aprit) when seven or eight Japanese war- ships suddenly approached the Port during the night. The Russian Authorities sent out some ships to engage them. Both fleets fired at cach other for a short time with no decisive result,
On the night of the 15th (30th April) at 11 o'clock the Russians quietly sent out six of their warships to engage the Japanese outside of the Harbour, but before they could get bear enough, they were noticed by the Japanese who fired on them and they returned the fire. The engagement lasted for three hours ending in the destruction of five of the Russian war ships. If not for the appearance of three or four Russian men-of-war that came out of the

that the Russian Admiral who was killed had the exception of Port Arthur, was been at one time Admiral in the Black Sea. During the time of the Boxer Rebellion in North China over thirty thousand Chinese were driven by him into the sea and drowned, consequently the report of his present death in the hands of the Japanese is heartily welcomed by the Chinese who considered it as a retribu tion from Heaven.
It is reported that during the battle, the Ad. miral's flagship was severely damaged, and seeing that the Japanese ships were approach ing to capture the ships with all on board, the Admiral jumped overboard and was afterwards saved by a Russian torpedo boat after having swam for about three or four li. The water was rather rough at the time and the Admiral is said to have imbibed a large quantity of sex water, so that when he arrived at Fort Arthur, he was so exhausted and ill that he could not rise from his bed and died the next day.--Und

AN OFFICIAL DENIAL.
Colonel Odorodnikoff of the Russian General Staff, Russian Military Agent in Narth-China, has issued the following:-
Tientsin, 3rd May.
It is necessary to contradict altogether the
unfounded report, which appeared in Reuter's telegram of 2nd May from London via Bombay about the news reaching Washington, that a great battle had been fought onathe Yalu re- sulting in a complete victory forabe Japanese,
As a matter of fact there was only an or. dinary engagement of vanguards from our part, which, as on any such occasion, had the pur pose of discovering the enemy's strength and the direction of their movement. After this had been successfully carried out our vanguard, having sustained very insignificant losses, drew away to another position, nat engaging ip any serious action.
On this very occasion the Japanese have done everything in their power to assist our vanguard to discover what was wanted.

No serious steps had been taken to defend the passage of the Yalu, the chief obstacle at Newchwang was a half demolished Chinese fort and at their stronghold, Port Arthur, military merry-making and money-bardments that he intended returning within making were the orders of the day. Practically the next week or two to carry on his business the only defence was a partly ice bound coast. at Port Arthur. I am afraid he does not know At Takushan, where the port is sufficiently free of ice to enable junks to call there the whole year round, it was generally expected by people living in the vicinity that the Japanese would land troops there and threaten the line of com- munication between Liaoyang and the Yalu. Had a landing been effected at Takashan in the early stages of the war, the probability is that the Russians would not have attempted to dispute the passage of the Yalu, since all muni- tions, provisions and fodder have to be sent to the latter place from Liaoyang over bad roads by native carts, entailing a journey of four and n hall days.

The Russian troops that retreated from Fenghuangching are collecting at Motienling Pass on the road to Liaoyang. General Kuro- patkin's troops from Laoyang are also moving down to that point, and it will probably be the scene of a serious engagement. The Russian treaps evacuating Newchwang are concentrat
for; it being quite evident from the repeated attempts made to block Port Arthur, that Japan's main object just now is to prevent anying in the direction of Liaoyang. possibility of the Baltic and Asiatic fleets uniting. If the Japanese succeed in annihilat

our small detachment. The next morning the Japanese reopened the bombardment, prepar ing an attack. In the meantime our detach ment ceased firing, as the caemy's strength was discovered in a much more appreciable way and degree than we possibly could have hoped for. Any fa ther action was of course quite useless for us.
It is therefore quite evident that the Japanese had an absolutely wrong idea about the strength of our detachment and did not at all understand the object and sense of the action. And after all that the Japanese had nothing better to do but to assure that the deploy of ther artillery was not aimless at all and that
they gained a complete victory.
As a matter of fact the false and phantastic reports and inventions of some of the news. papers are not worth any attention.
For instance: How could the Japanese
capture 28 guns while we had only 8 in action?
It is rather astonishing how the Japanese Government allows to publish such stories under title of "Official News"!

The Port Arthur squadron under Admiral Stark when the war broke out comprised seven battleships, the Tsarevitch, Perseviti, Petro pavlovsk, Pobieds, Pottuva, Retvizon, and Sevastopol; two first-class cruisers, the Askold and Bayan; four second-class cruisers, the Royaris, Diane, Novik, and Pallada, and a large number of smaller vessels; and all these, including the first-class cruise: Varyag and the gunboat Koreets, have been put out of action since the war began without the loss of a single Japanese aran-of-war.
