TOKIO, June 28. Complete details have
Tjeen received hero of the attempt of the
Port Arthur squadron to escape and take
refuge at Vladivostok- Ever since Mon
day, June 20, the Japanese have been
aware that a break for liberty -was to bo
made, and Admiral Togo prepared a
splendid plan to bo followed when the
attempt was made.
In accordance with this plan, a weak
cruiser squadron was placed about the
entrance to the harbor, while the battle
ship squadron took up a position behind
one of the mainland points.
On Thursday the Russians were seen to
he working their fleet out of the channel
with a merchant vessel in front of each.
The Intention was to protect the warships
from concealed mines. The Russian
battleships moved very slowly, and the
cruisers and destroyers were used to pro
tect their flanks.
It was exactly 3 o'clock in the after
noon when the entire Russian squadron
reached the open sea, and by this time
the three divisions of Japanese destroyers
had put into the attack. Their efforts
were directed at first against the craft of
their own class, but the Russian cruiser
Novik came to the aid of the Russian
destroyers and the fire from her rapid-fire
suns was so accurate and persistent that
the Japanese were compelled to with
draw. Observes Fleet In Waiting.
While the destroyers were fighting, the
Russian armored ships, headed by the
battleship Czarevitch, steamed at full
speed for the Shantung promontory.
Shortly after 6 o'clock the Russian fleet
rounded Counter Rock and for the first
time saw Admiral Togo's fleet of heavily
armored vessels waiting for them. On
board the ' Czarevitch, which was flying
the flag of the VIce-Admlral command
ing, signal flags -were promptly broken
out, and in obodleiJce to these the course
of tha Russian" ves&elsjwas changed to"
due south, bringing the Japanese decoy
cruiser on the Russian port beam.
Admiral Togo's fleet gave chase, and at
the same time, the Japanese cruisers
closed In while the destroyers swung Into
line to the west, but behind the Russians,
thus enveloping the latter.
About 7 o'clock, as darkness began to
envelope the sea, the "Russian fleet broke
out their battleships, and a moment later
from the tops of the Japanese vessels
were swung Into view the sunrayed
standards of the Mikado. It seemed as
though tho greatest naval battle of
modern times was about to begin. The
Japanese flagship opened on the Russians
at a range of 14,000 meters, but the shells
fell short, and the signal to change course
and bear In on the enemy was hoisted.
As if in answer to this, the Russians
changed their course as many points so
that the Japanese object was defeated.
This maneuver was followed a number of
times, but finally, about S o'clock, the
Russian Admiral seeing there was no
"clearance way" to the south flashed his
signal lanterns and the entire Russian
fleet put about and made back toward
Port Arthur. The Japanese ships were
now running at full speed, and with the
forced draught on their furnaces, hut
were unablo to overtake the enemy; see
ing this. Admiral Togo signaled to re
form, which was done. Speed was then
reduced, and tho Russians permitted to
sail for the harbor without further mo
lestation. The Night Attack.
The Japanese Commander-in-Chief then
signaled his torpedo fleet commanders to
go in and attack the enemy under cover
of tho darkness, and without giving them
a chance to work their vessels back Into
the Port Arthur roadstead. The night
attack eclipsed any that has taken place
since the beginning of the war. In spite
of the sweeping searchlights which swept
across tho ocean like moonbeams, the
Japanese went In and by steaming at full
speed, reached some of the marks at
which they were aimed. Before retiring
the Japanese torpedoed and sank the
battleship Peresvlet and damaged so as
to render useless the battleship Sebasto
pol and the cruiser Diana.
It is not known how many of the crew
of the Peresvlet were lost, but it Is gen
erally believed here that Jully 400 of her
crew were carried down with her.
Japan and Corea Work Together.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES
AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN.
TOKIO, June 2S. The Japanese Official
Gazette announces the conclusion of a
convention, undor which the Japanese
acquleso in tho granting of fishing priv
ileges on the coasts of three of the north
western provinces of Corea for a period
of 20 years. The Coreans are granted cor
responding privileges on the central and
west coasts of Japan.
SPIRITS OF RUSSIANS RISE.
Excitement at St. Petersburg Is the
Greatest Since War Begun.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 27. Not
Blnce the war began has such an air
of excitement pervaded the War Of
fice and Admiralty. The news received
during the next few days is expected to
determine largely the fate of the present
campaign on land and on the sea. The
spirits of the Russians have appreciably
"isen at tho prospect that aftor all the
sorties .of (the squadron of Rear-Admiral
"SYlttsoeft, In command of the naval
forces at Port Arthur, while it may hav
resulted in the loss of some of the Rus
sian ships, has been successful.
A dispatch from Chefoo today says that
a Chinese Junk reports having seen two
big Japanese warships and several tor-
pedoboats damaged on Friday near Port
Arthur. This strengthens the belief here
that a great sea fight has occurred, and
that the Japanese, who are alone able
through wireless telegraph to be in con
stant communication with their base, are
withholding the news. If the Vladivo
stok squadron is at sea with the purpose
of effecting a junction, as generally has
been supposed, with the Port Arthur
squadron', its apearance on the scene
could easily turn the scale In favor of
the Russians.
Some well-informed personages at the!
War Office are bold enough to see In a re
port received this morning by the Bourse
Gazette, of the hasty retirement of Gen
eral Oku, evidence that the Japanese fleet
has suffered a reverse, and that the com
munication of this to Oku. with the ac
companying threat that his base at Plt
sewo may be attacked, compelled his
withdrawal.
All direct news from the land side in
dicates an immense and decisive battle
near TaTche Klao. According to the
Associated Press advices last night. Gen
eral Kuropatkin is there personally in
command. The presence of the military
and newspaper correspondents is also sig
nificant. Kuropatkln's purpose seems to
be to prevent a Juncture of General Oku's
and General Kurokl's armies. The out
posts are in touch all along the line.
If Kurokl has met Kuropatkln's of
fensive movement southward against Oku
by an advance on Halcheng, as the ad
vices -of the Associated Press from Ta
Tche Kiao say, the Russian commander-in-chief
seems to bo seriously endangered,
unless he retires or Is strong enough to
present the two faces to the enemy. Ku
rokl was only 14 miles from the Russian
army yesterday, according to a dispatch
from the front, and the three armies are
so close together that a decisive battle
appears to be inevitable.
DECLARES OFFICERS ARE OUT.
Russian Officer Says Jealousy Per
meates Entire Army.
TIENTSIN, June 27. A correspondent
of the Associated press has seen a trans
lation of a private letter from an officer
high in command under General Kuropat
kin to a brother officer, giving a gloomy
view of the situation for Russia, and mak
ing desclosures. The writer says:
"It Is a shame to see officers constantly
quarrlllng. divided Into cliques and fight
ing for their own Interests, until Japan,
the common enemy, le forgotten. Every
one, from the Viceroy and Kuropatkin, to
the insignificant subaltern, is quarreling
and unwilling to obey orders. In the eyes
of the correspondents and foreign at
taches we are disgraced. Until the whole
system Is changed we cannot hope for victory-
Jealousy and suspicion are ram
pant throughout the army. The members
of our eecret service are so busy spying
on each other that they cannot appre
hend the spies, and Japanese agents, who
work with impunity. Japan seemingly
knows every plan made by us, which ac
counts for many plans having been
changed suddenly. Our brave soldiers go
into battle like sheep to the shambles.
No one can deny their loyalty, but until
they are properly officered their loyalty
and zeal are wasted.
"Europe now nows that we are a di
vided house, and will profit accordingly.
Those who have the welfare of Russia at
heart cannot help feeling that if Port
Arthur falls and Japan takes Llao Tang
the powers will Intervene, to our eternal
disgrace."
JAPANESE CRUISER DAMAGED.
Struck by Ship Sent to Help Her to
Tow in Transport.
LONDON, June 28. The Standard's To
klo correspondent says Field Marshal
Marquis Oyama, who recently was ap
pointed Commander-in-Chief of the Japa
nese forces In Manchuria, and Lieutenant
General Kodama, his chief of staff, will
leave for Manchuria July 6.
"Not the least Interesting revelation of
thftfcworisayshepprrespondent, "is the
unexpected efficiency "of the Japanese cav
alry, which hitherto had been regarded
as the weakest point In the army. Actual
operations have proved that the Japanese
cavalry is not only able to hold their
own against the Cossacks, but in several
instances it has shown themselves supe
rior, especially in the hilly districts."
The Standard's Cheefoo correspondent
says a steamer Just arrived from Moji
reports that she saw the Japanese trans
port Sado, which the Russian Vladivostok
squadron In its recent raid torpedoed and
which drifted away from sight during a
squall, being towed to port. The vessel
was beached, and a cruiser sent to assist
her also grounded.
Two transports were then sent out to
help the vesser, but one collided with the
cruiser, damaging her seriously. The
name of the cruiser was unknown to the
officers of the steamer.
According to the same dispatch, reports
from Chinese sources say continuous fir
ing was heard in the direction Of Port Ar
thur from the afternoon of June 25 to the
morning of June 26.
CONDEMNED BY PRIZE COURT.
British Ship, Valued at S50,000, Con
fiscated by Russians.
VLADIVOSTOK, June 27. The prize
court has condemned the British steamer
Allanton, captured by the Russian Vladi
vostok squadron recently in tho Straits ot
Corea, for carrying contraband of war,
and has confiscated the ship and her
cargo of 6500 tons of anthracite coal, val
ued at $50,000. The firm at Singapore to
which the coal was consigned Is the same
concern that supplied Japan with con
traband during the Japanese-Chinese war.
The Japanese schooner captured by the
Russian torpedo-boats at the time of the
recent raid has also been condemned.
The Captains of the prizes are allowed
a month In which to appeal.
Three Ships Badly Damaged.
CHEFOO, June 2S, 3 P. M. Chinese
who left Port Arthur on June 24 say that
only four battleships, five cruisers and
the torpedo-boats left the harbor on June
23. Of these three returned badly dam
aged, but none sank. The several large
ships previously 'damaged carried no
guns.
On June 24 the Japanese main army
was within 14 miles of Port Arthur.
Their scouts were nearer. Natives of
Manchuria have not been ordered out of
Port Arthur, but only the natives of oth
er provinces, and thousand of these have
left.
The hospital at Llao Yang is over
crowded. Letters from Feng Wang Cheng say the
Japanese transport service Is demoralized,
owing to the wretched condition of the
roads.
Russian Flag Not Captured.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 27. The fol
lowing has been issued by the General
Staff:
"It has been said in the .foreign news
papers and In telegrams from Tokio that
the Japanese took the Russian flag In the
battle of Vafangow. The chief of the
general Field Staff to the imperial Vice
roy in the Far East, In reply to the ques
tion asked by the Minister of War, stated
on June 26 that the flag was not taken,
but only a small ensign, which was In
stituted by the active service regulations
to Indicate where the commander of a
regiment was to be found during a battle,
and during an encampment for the
night."

NO HOPE FOR WOOD
Indian War Veterans' Appeal
for Lawyer Useless,
PENSION OFFICE SURPRISED;
It Hardly Expected the Early-Day
Fighters to Re-Elect Their Com
mander After He Had Been '
Convicted of Wrongs.
OREGON NEWS BUREAU, WASH
INGTON, June 27. The Pension Of
fice has not received the resolution of -the
Oregon Indian Wir Veterans asking that
Grand Commander T. A. Wood be al
lowed to resume practice before'the In
terior Department, but when it. is re
ceived it will be acted upon adversely.
Wood was disbarred from practice last
November before his case had been taken
Into court. His disbarment was ordered
by Secretary Hitchcock, on the recom
mendation of the Pension Office, because
of his Irregular practices in handling In
dian War pension claims.
Officials of the Pension Office say that
If Wood's disbarment was justified before
he had been tried, it is doubly justified
by the findings of. the court, and In view
of the clear case against him, he will not
be allowed to file further pension cases
before the department. -
Considerable surprise was manifested in
the Pension Bureau today when It was
learned that Wood, following his convic
tion, had been re-elected grand comman
der. PROTEST FOR OREGON CITY.
Mitchell and Fulton Take Up tho
Removal of Land Office.
OREGON NEWS BUREAU, WASHING
TON, June 27. Senator Mitchell and
Senator Fulton have both filed pro
tests with the Interior Department
against removal of the local Land
Office from Oregon City to Portland. Sen
ator Fulton opposes the change outright,
and Senator Mitchell speaks for inter
ested parties. A thorough hearing will
be arranged before the matter is de
cided. As Secretary Hitchcock has not received
a reply from the Treasury Department to
his inquiry as to the available5 space in
the Custom-House In Portland, the mat
ter has not been disposed of, and may
hang fire for some time. If room can be
found for the office In Portland the offi
cials are very much inclined to order the
removal from Oregon City. The whole
matter seems to hinge on the question of
available space.
BODY OF LOOMS COMES IN.
Remains of Missing American Be
lieved to Be at Cherbourg.
LONDON, June 27. A dispatch to tho
Central News from Hamburg says it Is
rumored there, that the body of Kent J.
Loomlfl. whn dl!i.TnnriT frnm tVio V.I...
Wilhelm II 'shortly before her arrival" at
.riymoutn, June 20, bas been washed
ashore near Cherbourg, France. There Is
no confirmation of the rumor.
BROTHER IS WITHOUT ADVICES
Assistant Secretary of State Begins
to Fear Relative Is Dead.
WASHINGTON. June 27. Mr. Loomis.
the Assistant Secretary of State, has had
nothing whatsoever to confirm or contra
dict the rumor that the body of his
brother, Kent J. Loomis, had been washed
ashore on the French coast, and in spite
of the energetic efforts of the combined
foreign and Consular service of the State
Department, not tho slightest clew has
yet been obtained with reference to the
mysterious disappearance. The fact that
nothing has been heard of the lost man Is
tending to confirm the fears of his family
that he was either drowned or bas met
foul play.
Tho Assistant Secretary today took oc
casion to d,eny very emphatically a num
her of -reports emanating from Parkers
burg, W. Va., the home of his brother,
which stated that the family of Kent
Loomis had received word from him some
days ago that he "wa3 having trouble with
Mr. Ellis, with whom he was traveling.
The State Department has had advices
of the sailing of Mr. Ellis from France for
Djlbutll, where he will commence his
overland jauriey to Abyssinia's capital
with the commercial treaty, which he is to
deliver to King Menellk. This treaty was
In the luggage of Kent Loomis, which was
sent on to Paris.
Word was received that Mr. Ellis had
offered to remain on the scene for two
weeks to assist in the search for Mr.
Loomis, and had offered to have one of
his party return to, Plymouth to aid the
authorities there, but it was throught that
no such assistance would avail la the
search.
GLOOMIEST VIEW NOW TAKEN.
Police of Plymouth Now Believe the
Man Is Dead.
LONDON, June 2S. The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Kent J.
Loomis continued to attract attention
from the London newspapers and all the
papers this morning feature the case.
The police of Plymouth now say Mr.
Loomis was drowned, and that he must
have fallen overboard before the vessel
reached her anchorage. After a most ex
haustive search and investigation of
every clew they are confident that he did
not land at Plymouth.
There Is no confirmation of the report
sent to the Central News from Hamburg
that the body of Mr. Loomis- had been
washed ashore near Cherbourg, France. A
dispatch to the Associated Press from
Hamburg says that nothing is known
there of anything which could give rise
to such a report. Nowhere, neither In
London nor Plymouth, has an thing de
veloped throwing . the slightest light on
the situation and where it was at first
believed that a few days would solve tho
question of the whereabouts of the
missing man, the gloomiest view Is. now
taken.

Men Put Out of Sight.
General Charles F. Beebe has turned
patrolman. Shortly after 8 o'clock last
evening the General was seen standing on
the corner of Fifth and Alder streets,
keeping quiet a rather obstreperous In

General of his prisoner, only to have him
bail himself out for $5.
Now, what the other patrolmen would
like to know Is, whether General Beebe
Is going to have to pay 54 for a new hel
met Just before the end of the month, and
have the Chief tell him to get It before
tomorrow afternoon, and deposit the coin
before he gets -it, too.
