London. Feb. 10. ? A dispatch
from Tokio, under date of February
10, says:
"Ou Monday a Japanese squadrou
escorting transport met*on
the way to Chemulpo. Corea, the
' Russian gunboat Korietz, as the
latter was coming out of port
The Korietz took up an offensive
attitude towards the Japanese
"vessels and fired on the Japanese
torpedo boats. The latter dis
charged two torpedoes ineffectively
and then the Korietz went
back to her anchorage inside the
port.
"Early in the morning of Tiles
day Admiral Urik commanding
the Japanese squadron formally
called on the Russian warships
to lo;iT7t> llhomnlno -- ?

The admiral added that if his
demand was not complied with
he would be compelled to attack
them in the harbor. The two
Russian warships left the port at
about 11 30 a. m., and a battle
ensued outside the Polynesian
island. After about an hour's
engagementthe Russian warships
sought refuge among the islands
Towards the evening the Russian
Cruiser Variag sank and about 4
a. in. today, Feb. 10, the Korietz
was reported to have also sunk.
having been blown up. There
9 were no casualties on the ,Japa
nese side."
A summary of the "losses su?
tainod by Russia in the first 24
^ h<uirs of the war with Japan show
that ten Russian warships were
placed out of action in one way
or another and that the .Japanese
did not lose a ship.
A special dispatch from Tokio
brvs the Japanese have captured
three Russian transports having
on hoard about 2,000 troops.
A dispatch from Port Arthur
says the Japanese fleet returned
there Tuesday afternoon and
again bombarded the Russian
fleet and forts, but that it soon
withdrew. The losses to the Rus
sians were small. During the
firing a Japanese cruiser was
grounded.

"You are aware,gentlemen,that
two Maya ago war waa declared
upon us. The insolent foe came
by night and attacked our strong
hold and fleet. Russia now needs
her navy as well as her army. 1
have come today to promote you
to the rank of midshipmen. I
am confident that like your revered
predecessors you will work
for the welfare and glory of our
beloved fatherland and devote
- all your energies to the fleet over
* which flies the flag of St. Andrew."
According to the Ohee Foo
correspondent of the Daily Mail
the lack of preparation on the
4* part of the Russians at Port Arthur
waa due to the fact that all
(lie naval and military officers
were attending a circus peiformance
at Port Arthur, which did
not terminate until early Tuesday
morning;.
According to the correspondent
of the Paris edition of the
New York Herald at Chee Foo
t he Japanese torpedo boats succeeded
in entering the outer har
bor by a ruse ; they used the
Russian flashlight signals. This
correspondent adds that three
Japanese torpedo boats were,
sunk with great loss of life.

Standard at Tokio sends in this

While the cannonade was hottest
a number of Japanese torpedo

succeeded in the darkness in getting
