Tokio, June 29.—-The detailed report
received from Admiral Togo o f the op
erations before Port Arthur, which re
sulted in the sinking of another Rus
sian battleship, shows that thé en
trance to the harbor at Port Arthur is
still blocked to such an extent that it
is impossible for the Russians to
maneuver. The operation of bringing
the Russian fleet into the open, ac
cording to the report of the officers of
the Japanese scout vessels, lasted from
11 a. m., till 3:30 p. m ., and was diffi
cult in the extreme.
When first seen by the main fleet the
Russian ships were in a double column
formation, the first made up of four
cruisers and six battleships, with the
battleship Csarevitch in the lead.
The second column was made up of the
cruiser Novik and seven destroyers.
That the Japanese did not attack in
force and attempt to sink the entire
Russian fleet was due to the fact that
nightfall arrived before the ships could
be brought within range, and nothing
was left but for the torpedo attack. I t
is generally believed now that another
attempt w ill be made by the Russians
to escape.

St. Petersburg, June 29.— Work on
the Baltic squadron designed for service
in the Pacific is being pushed with re
doubled vigor night and day. A d
miral Birileff, the commander-in-chief
at Constadt, is co-operating with Vice
Admiral Rojetsevnsky, in command of
the Baltic fleet, to hasten the work.
The captains of the battleships Navarin
and Sissoi Veliky and the armored
cruiser Adm iral Nakim off, the first ves
sel to go out into the roadstead in com
mission, have been publicly compli
mented for their diligence. In order
not to impede the work, the crews are
not mustered to salute the commander-
in-chief when he visits the vessels.
A strict guard is maintained at Cron-
stadt. Even the warships' launches
are not allowed to enter the naval
basins after dusk. Lieutenant V avil-
lor, in charge of the naval labroatory,
was arrested recently and confined to a
fortress for bringing a relative to tbe
laboratory without permission.

Regardless of the fact that the nomi an important effect on the adoption of

The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that definite steps have
already been taken
to inaugurate
French authority. M. Delcasse has se
lected M. Raindre, the ex-French rep
resentative at Geneva, to take up the
organization of the Moroccan customs
at the ports, including Tangier.
The
recent French loan to Morocco is- guar
anteed by the customs lecsipts. There

toms administration. He is nQW or-
agnizing a large staff. The next step
w ill be the organization of French po
lice or gendarmerie at Tangier.
It appears by all accounts, including
that of Perdicaris himself, as set down
in his letters, that he did not suffer
undue hardship; that he was treated
with kindnese and consideration by
Raisuli and that he has no ill-feeling
toward that, to him. agreeable bandit.

Tokio, Jane 28.— Adm iral Togo, re<
porting further on his success at Port
Arthur, says his patrol boat discovered
the battleship Peresviet and seven other
vessels, accompanied by mins torpedo
boat destroyers, near the entrance to
Port Arthur harbor. Tbe patrol boat
wained him wirelessly, and he imme
diately advanced his entire fleet, except
tboee engaged upon special duty«.
The admiral then discovered that
the Russian fleet consisted of six battle
ships, five cruisers and 14 destroyers,
the commander having evidently plan
ned a dash by sundown.
The Russians stopped oatside tbe en

fall a fleet of Japanese torpedo boat de
stroyers resolutely attacked the Rus

and sinking a battleship of the Peree-
viet type, and disabled the battleship

A ciuiser of the Diana type was ob

harbor and it was evident she sustain

destroyer Shirakumo was hit by a

three men and wounding three others.
