Naval Engagement Occurs In Which
Russia Loses.
Tokio, Feb. 10.—The news has been
received here and confirmed that the
Russian cruisers Varlag and Korietz
have been destroyed by the Japanese
fleet at Chemulpo.
The cruiser Varlag, which was built
at Cramps ship yard, Philadelphia-, in
1893, was of steel and unsheathed.
She was of 0,500 tons displacement,
and her indicated horse power was
20,000. On her speed trial she made
24 knots per hour for eight hours.
Sho was 400 feet long, 52 feet In beam
and had a depth of hold of 20 feet.
The Varlag armament consisted of 12
6-inch quick-firing guns; 12 12-pound
er quick-firers; eig^t 3-pounders; 2
1-pounders and 6 torpedo tubes, tw r c
of which were submerged.
The Korietz was built in Stockholm.
She was of steel and was 208 feet in
length, 35 feet beam, 1,433 displace
ment and 1,500 indicated horse power.
Her speed was 13 knots. The arma

Japanese Minister Speaks of Recent
Naval Engagements.
London, Feb. 10.—“We were slow in
negotiating so we are making up for
lost time by quickness in action,” said
Baron Hayashi this morning.
“The engagements at Port Arthur
and Chemulpo were merely in accor
dance with plans long matured. As
soon as our forces are landed in Ko
rea I look for an important fleet ac
tion at Port Arthur. The Russian
vessels are not likely to give up the
advantage gained by being under the
cover of their land batteries. By
going to the Chinese side, however,
the Japanese fleet, by high angle fire,
can drop in shells which should make
It very uncomfortable for the Russian
ships lying moored close to one an
other. Thereby it Is hoped to drive
out Viceroy Alexieff’s forces. Possi
bly, like Admiral Cervera, he may
anticipate fate and come into the open
of his own accord. The present
events merely go to show the utter
uselessness of Port Arthur from a
strategetic viewpoint.
Dealing with Secretary’s Hay note
to the powers on the subject of pre
serving the integrity of China, Baron
Hayashi said:
“The neutrality of China was first
suggested by my government and we

If, howeveft the Unuited States and
other powers contemplate the neu

complicated. So long as there are
Russian troops in Manchuria, Japan
cannot regard It as neutral territory.
