tho ruouth of tho harbor. Tho briof
details contained in the ofticial dispatches
indicated that tho coup
was planned and according to the
usual Japanese tactics, tp take
place during the night that it wna
desperately pushed and hacked by
eight torpedo boats, which continued
fighting until daylight, but
that it failed completely. Great
praise is given to tho Russian bat^
tleship Retvizan, which lay outside
tho harbor entranco, for her gallant
work in beating oil' the enemy.
Her part in tho action shows that

mo reports ot mo injuries which
she is said to have sustained in the

exaggerated. The official dispatches
do not make clear tho exact

of blockading tho harbor or
whether further vessels destroyed
were beached by tho fire of the Retvizan.
