A NAVAL SUCCESS
.
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

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
