m- BATTLE Ill Ullllllll STllAl Russian Cruiser Rurik Sunk With Most of Her Crew. KAMIMURA VICTORIOUS. , l 'A despatch from Tokio says 2â€"3’108 Admiral Kamimura encountered the Russian Vladivostock squadron at: dawn on Sunday, north of Tsu Isâ€" land. in the Strait of Corea, and at-l tacked the enemy at once. The bat- tle lasted for five hours and resulted in a complete Japanese victory. The Russian cruiser Rurik was sunk and; the cruisers Rossia and Gromoboiz fled to the northward after having' sustained serious damage. ' Vice-Admiral Kamimura cables the Navy Department that the injuries; inflicted upon his vessels were slight.‘ The fate of the crew of the Rurik is not known. It is presemed thatl many of them were killed or drown-‘ ed. The strength of the fleet underl Vice-Admiral Kamimura is not known but it is presemed that he had thei Asuml, Idzumo, .Iwate, Takashihol and other light cruisers. , Tokio is joyous over the news, as it gives Japan mastery of the sea and restores commerce. FIRING $TILL GOING ON. l A despatch from Tokio says :â€"The Chefoo correspondent of the JijiI Shimpo reports that the Japanese have occupied three forts near Port- Arthur and are keeping up a con- tinuous fire upon the fortress, the condition of which is said to be pitâ€"i iful. Another fort in possession of the Japanese has the Russian ships and forts as clear targets. The crew of the Russian destroyer Ryeshitelni, which escaped to Chefooi after the Sortie of the Russian squad- ron from Port Arthur, reported that from-Tuesday morning until Wednes- day the Japanese attacked the forâ€" tress in great force and seized strong positions near the Russian rear. I‘he losses on both sides were enor- mous. It was impossible for the Russians to move their dead and wounded. This was the reported condition of affairs at noon Wednesâ€" day. The Emperor, prompted by feelings of humanity and a. desire to spare non-combatants, has directed Field Marshal Oyama, Commanderâ€"lnâ€"Chief of the Japanese forces in Manchuria. to permit Women, priests, merchants, the diplomatic officers of neutral powers, and other nonâ€"combatants to leave Port Arthur and to give them shelter at Dalny. MASSACRED BY RUSSIANS. l A despatch to the London Tele- graph from Tokio says that a. teleâ€" gram from Nemuro states that the crew, numbering 87, of the Japanese schooner 'l‘eiichi Maru have been mas- sacred by Russian soldiers at Kam- chatka. STORY OF THE BATTLE. A despatch from London says: The , naval battle between the Port Arâ€" thur squadron and Togo's fleet it would now appear dealt. the heaviest, blow Rumia’s prestige has yet had to sufler. Although none of the Rus- ‘ slan battleships were destroyed or‘ captured, several of them were badâ€" ly crippled, and every succeeding re port makes only more apparent the smashing blows which the Russians received. The squadron which left Port Arthur consisted of six battle ships, four cruisers and eight torâ€" pedoâ€"boat destroyers. The following have. been accounted for: Buttlcships.â€"Cazarevitcb, in Tsingâ€" chou harbor, a German port; badly damaged. Admira, Withoeft, her commander, and 1' ur other officers and 210 men killed and 60 wounded. The Fobieda and the Retvizan, both badly- damaged, are believed to have put back into harbor at Port Arthur. ' The Baysn has not been heard from since the fighting. The Sebastopol was so badly dam-n aged that she could not be manoeu-l vred and is stranded somewhere in the vicinity of Port Arthur. Cruisersâ€""I‘he Novik reached Tsing- chou harbor, where it conled and. subsequently put to sea. The Poltava is missing, no reports. of her whereabouts having been re- ccived. The Askold reached Shanghai and went into dryâ€"dock. Fifteen of her. crew were killed and 50 wounded. The other cruiser is believed to be off the Saddle Islands, awaiting cooling vessels. l ’l‘crperloâ€"l’loat Destroyers. â€"- Two stranded in the vicinity of Wei-Haiâ€" \\'ei. Their crews reached port in] snl‘cty. The Ryesliitelni put into Chefoo,l but was subsequently cut out; and tortured by the .laps. The Grorovoi is at Shanghai. Two others are at 'l‘singchou slightâ€" ‘ vv damaged AN AWFUL SCENE. i A despatch from ’I‘singchou to the‘ London Daily 'l‘elegrarb describes“ how the Ozarvitch wah surrounded; by four battleships and two cruisers, i which rained shells upon her froml all sides at close quarters. Her gunl (rows were annihilated. lief“ deck scar was curled into fantastic shapes ,nl casualties ‘scvuu oilicers killed , wounded. like pieces of tin. The survivors do: Scribu the scene as infernal. The hair of some of the men turned grey. Admiral \Vitbocft, before he was killed, cried, "This is our last fight, men; be brave!" TOGO'S REPORT. A dcsputch from Lokio says zâ€"Ad- mirul Togo has reported as follows: “On Aug. 10 our combined fleet attacked the enemy's fleet near Guâ€" gan Rock. The Russian vessels were emerging from Port Arthur, trying to go south. We pursued the enemy to the eastward. Severe fighting lasting from 1 o’clock Wednesday ofâ€" ternoon until sundown. Toward the close the enemy's [ire weakened ieâ€" markably. l-lis formation became l confused and then his ships s‘attcred. The Russian cruisers Askold and No- Vik and several torpedoâ€"bout desâ€" troyers fled to the southward. Other of the enemy's ships retreated separ- ately towards Port Arthur. We pursued them, and it appears that we. inflicted considerable damage. We found lifebuoys and other articles bc- longing to the Russian battleship Czarcvitcb floating at sea. The Czarâ€" evitch probably was sunk. We have received no reports from the torpoio boats and the lol'lVf‘tlUâ€"llUill destroyâ€" ers which were engaged in the attack of the ships of the enemy.

A despatch from Chefoo says :â€" The Rus'sian fleet emerged from Port Arthur at 7 a. 111. Wednesday mornâ€" ing. It is stated that only the smaller Japanese vessels engaged and [firsued it. The pursuit lasted two hours and a half. The hospital ship Mongolia, carrying Women and childâ€" ren, is said to have accompanied the fleet. The refugees from Port Arthur state that during the last five days Japanese shells from Wolf’s Hill have been dropping into the town. causian much damage. Several civ- ilians have been hurt. One shell hit an oil storehouse under loldcn Hill. ‘Five hundred sailors vainly attelnptâ€" ed to extinguish the fire it. caused. SAFE IN GERMAN WATERS. The Clicfoo correspondent of the London Telegraph, in a despatcb dated Friday, says that at 5 a. m. the Russian cruisers Askold and Novik and two destroyers entered Tsingtao harbor. Tsingtao is a port in the German concession of Kiaoâ€"Chau. THE KASUGA SUNK? A despatch to Reuters Telegram Colnpany, London, from St. Petersâ€" burg says that the Japanese armorâ€" ed cruiser Kasuga (formerly the Arâ€" gentine warship Rivadavia) was sunk with all on board during the engage- ment ofi Port Arthur on Wednesday last.

Shortly after the arrival of the Russian destroyer here the Chinese Admiral, Sab, sent an officer on board, who demanded that the desâ€" troyer either leave port or disarm. It had prm‘iously been ascertained that her engines were disabled. The capâ€" tain of the Ryeshitelni agreed to renâ€" der the engines absolutely useless, and to disarm in such a, manner as Admiral Sali demanded. The captain of the Ryesliitelui re quested the Admiral to indicate a poâ€" sition nearer the shore where the de- stroyer might lie till the end of the \var under the protection of the Chi- nese Government.

Her paint was scratched and faded to yellow ow- ing to exposure to the sun, and her deck resembled a machine shop, but she had not been damaged by gun- fire, althouin it is stated that the ship was exposed Constantly for three months to the fire of the Japanese. The passengers of the Rycshitelni included two women. one of whom is said to be the wife of len. Stocsscl. This, however, is denied. It. is m‘idcnt that grave reasons caused the Ryeshitelni to undertake her ba7ardous Voyage. she came here to file urgent despatch- es. AWFUL CARNAGE. Whole regiments were annihilated in stoelâ€"to-stcel conflicts, when the .iapâ€" uncso attacked the main line of for- tifications at Port Arthur three days ago. The Russians. their heavy duty, dropped from exâ€" haustion alongside their guns. Stoessel rode along the line urging the troops to be brave for God and the Fatherland. At daybreak the Japanese concentrated their reserves for a. iinal attack, in which they swept the Russians/buck. Out. of 200 men in one fortified position only two survived. More than half of them succumbed from exhaustion. On Tuesday the Russians stcailtliily attacked, crawling umo g the rocks and up the mountain sides.
