SPECIAL. CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES
AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN.
TOKIO, June 20. The Russian Siberian
equadron from Vladivostok was sighted
.again at noon yesterday off Main Island
In the Sea of Japan, but was apparently
following out a prearranged plan, as the
vessels steamed at about 11 knots' speed
elowly toward tho northwest, paying no
cttentlon to the shores.
Judging by their position in the -water,
they are heavily laden and It Is supposed
Jthat before leaving Vladivostok on this
last trip they filled all of their reserve
bunkers with coal, so that they can keep
put of port for not less than three weeks.
In spite of the menace to their trans
port fleet the Japanese officials here de
clare that their original plans will be
carried out, no matter what the cost. They
declare that there Is no chance for the
Port Arthur squadron to make a sortie
to join Admiral Skrydloff, as Admiral
Togo has so disposed of his ships about
the harbor mouth that any vessels putting
out will be sunk before they are even
t-clear of the roadstead.
Transports Tried to Escape.
Additional details of the attack on the
Japanese transports by vessels of the Rus-
:cdan Vladivostok squadron have been re
fcelved which in some respects differ from
the earlier stories. It is not true that the
Russians fired on the defenseless boats
after they had signified they would sur
render. Both craft were trying to escape
.when fired on.
weanesaay last tne transports were
"Steaming along at the rate of 15 knots an
"hour and were about 70 miles from MoJI,
when the lookout on the Hitachi Maru
reported three Russian cruisers just
ahead. The transports turned forthwith
and started back at full speed. The Rus
sian cruiser Rossia was the first to see the
transports and her commander started in
chase, at the same time opening fire on
the Hitachi.
Overhauled by Russian Warships.
For a time it seemed as though the ships
twould escape, but finally the superior
cpeed of the Russians began to tell and
slowly but surely the Rossia began over
hauling the vessels. She began firing while
2000 metres distant and kept it up until
.within 600 metres from the Hitachi, when
Ken shells struck the latter In rapid suc
.cession, disabling the ship and killing
many men.
Having accomplished this, the Russians
passed on and torpedoed the Sado Maru.
'Leaving the latter disabled, they returned
to the Hitachi and poured a heavy fire of
shells Into her. The Hitachi was finally
torpedoed and sank.
While the Russians were dealing with
the Sado. about SO of the Hitachi's crew
loaded boats and escaped, finally reaching
land. All of the others who remained on
'board lost their lives. In the meantime all
was confusion on board the Sado, but
finally 600 succeeded In lowering the ves
sel's boats and escaped, the Russians mak
ing no effort to stop them.
Mercy of the Russians.
" Pour hundred who remained on tho slnk
, Ing craft, determined to go down with
, ter. were greatly surprised when the Rus
jelans sailed away without further molest
'Ing the steamer. The Sado drifted along
'wiuTlier decks nearly awash, finally bring
ing up on the beach in the Kosada Straits,
iwhere the survivors got ashore without
floss of a man.
After leaving the two transports the
Russians encountered the Idzumi Maru,
: which was bringing sick and wounded
I'Irom Chlnampo and sank her. How many
t-were lost on the latter craft Is not as yet
ijcnown.
SUCCESS OF RUSSIAN RAID.
tpive Japanese Vessels Destroyed by
' Vladivostok Squadron.
' TOKIO. June 19, 5 P. M. The remark
fable raid of the Russian Vladivostok
I squadron Is evidently over. The squadron
disappeared yesterday off Cape Henasm,
Lsteering to the north, and it has not been
? reported since. It is assumed to be re-
I turning to Vladivostok.
Whether or not a portion of Vlce-Ad
.mlral Gamlmura's squadron is awaiting
the Russians off Vladvostok Is a carefully
guarded secret- Assuming that Vlce-
Admiral Kamlmura dispatched some of
I his vessels to Vladivostok when he
Uearned that the Russian squadron was
toff Ikl Island, these ships would have
' had ample time to arrive there ahead of
, the Russians and will be ready to give
battle. The weather has been foggy, and
iihus conditions have been against the
Japanese.
' It Is reported that the raiding Russians
:aptured a British steamer laden with
'coaL bound south from the Island of
Yezo, and sent her to Vladivostok with
a nrise crew, but the report Is not con
, firmed by the Japanese Navy Department
The transports Sado, Hitachi and Izuml
iCwere the only ones overhauled by the
Russians. Japan had 13 transports in and
jiear the Strait of ' Corea the morning the
,Sado and Hitachi were caught, and she
was fortunate that only the three ships
Cnentloned wore overtaken by the enemy.
It Is Impossible to get complete facts
concerning the sinking of the Hitachi.
ISho evidently failed to stop when sig
naled to do so by the Russian vessel.
vTho claim is made that Captain Camp
buoll. the English master of the Hitachi,
"refused to stop, and planned to ram the
'Russian, but this is denied. It is said
j.that the Japanese officers on board the
i.Hitachl declined to surrender and ro
Lquested Campbell to keep his ship going,
fcrhe assertion that the Russians fired
, -upon the lifeboats in which the men were
escaping from the Japanese transport has
f not been fully substantiated.
The raid of the Vladivostok squadron
ijts&s brought an unwarranted amount of
criticism upon Vice-Aaminu Kamlmura
from, the Japanese, and his failure to
catch the Russians In the fog off Gen-
san, Corea, when the Japanese transport-
Klnshlu was sunk on April 26, with a loss
of about 200 men, has been recalled. Some
of these even declare that if Vice-Admiral
Kamlmura falls to catch the Russian ves
sels before they reach Vladivostok ha
should either resign from the .Navy or
commit suicide.
The popular demand for his replacement
Is growing, but the public is without in
formation as to the nature of his orders
or the plans of the naval campaign, and
fails to make allowance from the limita
tions of conditions. Vice-Admiral Kami-
mura's squadron -was lying off the Suis
Island when the raiding Russians reached
Oklno Island. He immediately started in
pursuit of the enemy, but rain so ob
scured the sea and an electrical storm in
terfered with his system of wireless teleg
raphy.
Vlce-Admlral Kamlmura is a splendid
officer and the only possible Indictment
against him is one of lack of good luck.
The Japanese generally magnify the Im
portance of this Russian raid, which has
no material effect upon the war. It "was
a desperate venture and it is believed here
to have succeeded only through blind
luck.
The Yawata. and the Ansel, two sailing-
ships, were sunk by the Russians Thurs
day between Ko Island and Okushlri Isl
and, off the -west coast of Yezo and north
of the Taugaru Straits; Thirty-seven sur
vivors reached Esashl Thursday after
noon. This makes a total of Ave Japan
ese ships sunk or destroyed by the Rus
sian raiders.
REFUSE TO SURRENDER.
Transports Sunk by Shells From Ad
miral Skrydloff 's Fleet.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 19. Emperor
Nicholas has received the following dis
patch, dated June 19, from Vice-Admiral
Skrydloff:
"June 15 our cruiser division encoun
tered in the Straits of Corea a Japanese
transport steaming from the south in theA
direction of the Japanese coast, which
was visible on the horizon. The vessel
proved to be the Izuml, with troops on
board.
"On the explratiffi of the time given
thoje on board to lower boats and leave
the ship, permission to do which was
taken advantage of by part of the crew.
the transport was sunk by our guns.
Shortly afterward two more transports
were sighted to the southeast They
proved to be the Hitachi and the Sado,
the former with troops and the latter
carrying coolies, horses and a railway
plant The transports refused to surren
der, and at the end of the period granted
those on board to take to the boats the
two vessels were sunk by torpedoes and
shells.
"The losses on the three transports, the
tonnage of which aggregated about 15,000
tons, consisted of a portion of the troops
and crews, a large quantity of war ma
terial and the railway plant
"June IS our squadron met the British
steamer Allanton, which was proceeding
south with a cargo of coal from the Port
of Mourorun, Island of Hokkaido (the ad
ministrative name of the Japanese Island
of Yezso).
"The lack of clearness In h.er papers
and the irregularity of her log excited
suspicion concerning the neutrality of her
cargo. The steamer therefore was sent
to Vladivostok in charge of a detachment
of soldiers commanded by Lieutenant Plt-
roff. She has arrived at Vladivostok,
where a prize court will consider her
case."
The British steamer Allanton, Captain
Clark, sailed from Penarth, Wales, Feb
ruary 20. for Sasebo, Japan, and arrived
there May ZL
WORRYING THE JAPANESE.
Skrydloff's Squadron's Work Appre
dative at St. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 19. Vlce-Ad-
mlral Skrydloff's message to the Emperor
from Vladivostok, In which he details the
operations of the Vladivostok squadron,
Indicates that he has accounted for at
least three of the Japanese transports be
sides a suspected collier. The message does
not Indicate the present whereabouts of
the squadron. The fact that the collier
was sent to Vladivostok under a prize
crew might Indicate that the news of the
operations of the squadron was brought
there by her and that the cruisers are still
at sea.
The destruction of an aggregate of 15,-
000 tons of shipping besides troops and
crews and a valuable cargo of supplies Is
considered here as being a good showing
for the raid made by the cruisers. It Is
thought that it will have a moral effect
and will besides necessarily divert a con
siderable section of Vlce-Admlral Togo's
fleet In an attempt either to round up the
Vladivostok squadron or to protect the
line of sea transportation concerning
which the Japanese until recently felt so
secure.
Further news of the movements of tho
squadron are awaited with intense In

of the 15th by Russian ships, and that
the people on board of her were trans

TOKIO, June 20. The following ac
count of the operations of General Oku
has been received from a correspondent
with the Japanese second army in the
field:
A scout having brought the news that
the Russians were massing a large army
at Telissu, 28 miles north of Pulantlen,
evidently with the lntentlqn of attempt
ing to force the Pitzvopulantien gate of
the peninsula. General Oku resolved to
assume the offensive. He marched out
of Pulantlen June 13, his right moving
by way of Talhaho and his center along
the railway. The left divided and trav

On the morning of the 14th the ad

Independently to Nanchlallng, while the
center and right preserved its touch with
the advancing column. Russians were
encountered at Chlaoklatan and Tap
plngkau, but they did not make a stand.
The country was veiy hilly and the adr
vance difficult In the extreme.
Reconnolsances now showed that the
enemy was holding the line from Tafang
shln to Longwlngmio and was entrenched
In a strong position, but with defective
facilities for retreat This disadvantage,
however, was outweighed by the prox
lmity of the railway, permitting the rapid
transportation of reinforcements. The
Russian fighting line consisted of two
divisions of Infantry and 17 squadrons of
cavalry with 98 guns, to which constant
additions were being made.
Advance Holds the Heights.
The Japanese advanced in the face of a

center advanced and occupied tho heights
of West Tafangkaw and at dawn of the
15th the right seized the- heights from
Lungkirtun to Wangkiatun. This posi
tion they were ordered to retain without
undertaking any offensive movement
pending the ' flank movement of the
Fuchsau column.
The morning of the 15th opened foggy,

The raiding party came in contact with
the Coreans frequently, and sometimes
there were several skirmishes daily. There
was some heavy fighting, and one battle
lasted all day long, as the result of which
the Coreans and the Japanese lost 50

ST. PETERSBURG, June 19. M. Lin-

Russian government in Finland in
view of the assassination of Governor-

Plehve expressed himself as averse to

act of one man whose views were held
by only a small minority of the peo
ple, but will recommend that the pol
icy of General Bobrikoff be continued.
The question as to whether or not
the Finnish diet shall be convened Is
now under consideration. It Is pointed
out that the Swedish party is opposed

cause It is certain to diminish their
