THE FIRST DISTINCT ONE THAT RUSSIA HAS SCORED . CRIPPLE A JAPANESE CRUISER Russian Fleet Sends nn Attacking Force Under Cover of Night and Explodes . plodeD a Torpedo-Ship Towed Away Amid Flames. LIAO ANG-'rhe Russian fleet scored its first distinct naval success of the war on Mar ; 10 by torpedoing and crippling , though not the sinking , of an armored Japanese cruiser in Tallenwan bay The Russian attack was carefully planned on May 10 white the Japanese squadron was concentrated outside Dalny , devoting its attention to Ta- lien wan bay , and carried out the same night. The attacking force i was not a reg- ular torpedo boat , but was only a small nnptha launch in command of a young naval officer , who had with him three jacldes. The launch car- ried a small machine gun and three torpedoes. When darkness fell the launch crept out of Port Arthur , hug- ging the shore , with no lights aboard and no glow from the engines to be- tray her presence. It was late when she gained the outer line of the Japanese - o.nese quadron. Slipping through the torpedo boat pickets and select- ing the nearest warship , a big arm- ored cruiser , she stole toward her and succeeded in exploding against her side a single torpedo. A deafen. lug roar followed the explosion which echoed far ashore. Immediately flames enveloped the cruiser , which evidently was badly crippled. The crew of the cruiser was seen to be fighting the fire , which they at last succeeded In extinguishing. A sister ship took the damaged vessel in tow aand disappeared to the south- east. The launch escaped the hot I fire directed against her by the Japanese - i ese ships , but , being unable to return to Port Arthur or to get Into Dalny , she was beached not far from Dalny. Only a few of the higher officers were aware of the plan , the success of which depended on secrecy. The achievement raised the spirits of the Russians afloat and ashore , and the young : naval officer who was the hero of the exploit was feted and recommended - mended for the Cross of St. George APPLY THE TORCH AS THEY GO. Retreating Russians Burn What They Can't Carry Away. NEW ANG-Chinese bandits arc committing depredations In the vicinity of Yin Kow. Several rich natives - tives who were lddnaped by them from New Chwang have been ransomed. M. Pavloff , formerly Russian minister . ister to Korea , and now the representative - tatlve of Viceroy Alexieff , who is one of the ablest of Russian diplomats , is now in Pelrln and It is believed that he is endeavoring to persuade the Chinese government to take over the New Chwang section. Japanese scouts were seen 'ester- day seven miles southeast of Kai Chou A part of the Japanese army Is marching from Hslu Yen to the north- west. The number of this force can- not be obtained , but It is known to be considerable The Russians are moving two regi- ments in and out of New Chwang , for the purpose of creating the impresSion . sian among the natives that they have n. number of men here. These two regiments comprise the only Russian force in this vicinity ; the remainder of the troops here formerly being moved toward Mukden. The belief prevails here that the Russian authorities will soon move the Mulrden forces in the direction of Harbin , and it is not thought that they will risk any fight on the Line Tung reninsula J , . .
