A London cable says: The Associated Press learned this afternoon that Japan hm made a demand of China, practically in the nature of an ultimaturmthat she ituuwdiatvly enforce her neutrality in the (‘le' of the protected cruiser Askold and the torpedo-boat destroyer Grosovoi, now at Shanghai.

It illustrates in this contention the case of the flour on board the Arabia, which was consigned to a British firm at Yo- kohama and which was declared contra- band by the Vladivostock prize court. Great Britain contends that the Russian doctrine is equivalent to a declaration that all foodstuffs consigned to an en- emy's port are unconditionally contra- band.

RUSSIAN VIEWS. _l'l'h2 He Awaits Decisive l There was a fierce eannonade on both sides, but whereas the Japanese gunners were absolutely calm. and scored hits with few misses, the Russian projeetiles nearly al flew wide. After two and a half hours of fighting, both sides drew of for one hour, and then approached each other once more.. The Russians now opened fire, which was largely con. centrated on the Mikasa. Togo and his staff, however. were quite unconcerrwd, and directed every operation. The en- omy's vessels now changed their diree. tion to the southeast, and the Japanese pursued them. Russians Thrown Into Confusion. At 7.30 p. m. the Cr.arewitch was struck by a 12-inch shell below the watey line, on the port side. and sud- denly turned to the starboard, where. upon the other vessels, in order to avoid a. collisron, put their helms to port and starboard and fell into confusion. This was an opportunity the Japanese did not fail to seize. They poured in a very hot fire at a range of three to four thousand metres, and the Russians' fire was virtually silenced. The Retvizan with conspicuous bravery maintained the cannonade until, having received the Jap. anese concentrated fire, she was re- duced to fitful discharges from one or two guns. The slackening of the en- emy’s fire was seemingly not due to shortness of ammunition, but to the 1 Togo’s Great Victory. Commander Ogura, of the Mikasa, Admiral Togo's flagship. who has arriv- ed at Sasebo. wounded, gives the follow, ing, description of the action with the Port Arthur fleet on Aug. 10th: On the morning of that day the guardships telegraphed the information of the en- 'emy's sortie. The news was received with delight by Togo, who rapidly made all dispositions. His plan was to draw the Russians as far south as possible in order to prevent a. repetition of the fiasco of June 23. He did not know whether the enemy's destination Wag Vladivostoek, and therefore steered south, being constantly informed by the scouts of the onemy's movements. The squadrons gradually approached, the Japanese squadron being on the east. At 12.30 p. m., being then 30 miles south of Port Arthur, Togo signalled for the ships to go into action. The Russians thereupon formed in single column line abroad, their force consisting of six bat. tleshipe, with the Czarewiteh in the van, four cruisers. eight destroyers and; one hospital ship. At 1 p. m. the aetionl began. Twice the lines approached and twice receded. - - _ Capture of Wolf's Hill. An unofficial statement shows that the capture of Wolf's Hill by the army operating against Port Arthur was a most arduous operation. The assault began on July M. The Japanese, how. ever, failed to reach the crown of the eminence. 300 meters high, and spent the night lying midway on the slopes. At dawn on the 27th the artillery play~ ed on the summit and seemed to have Silenced the cnemy's guns, but when the infantry advanced they Were met by the hail of the enemy's nuiek-firers, which had hitherto been concealed be- hind the crest. Nevertheless, the Japan- ese carried the position, but Were driven out by strong Russian reserves, which had been prepared for this emergency. Success at Last. During the night of the 27th the Japanese assaulting force. was greatly increased. thus enabling an attack to he delivered in three directions. Under the cover of darkness the Japanese cvcpt., to witniu 50 metres. Moreover, the artillery on the 28th suceeerled in cans» ing a breach in the Russian shelter trenches. and thus the position was fin. ally carried. The Japanese right reached the crown of the hill first from the direction of the enemy's left rear. The Russians, therefore, retreated eastward, thereby enabling the Japanese to ml. vance and win other positions. The Russians abandoned two Maxim guns and one Nordenfeldt gun. The last bore the mark of the Kare arsenal. being" eridentlv a gun taken from one of the Japanese steamers sunk in the attempt to seal the harbor of Port Arthur.

No answer has yet been given by Japan to the Russian pro- test in the case of the Ryeshitclny. but when it is made it will be communicated to all the powers. Bombarding the Fortress. Passengers on board the steamer De- cima. which anchored off Port Arthur last night, witnessed the bombardment from Pigeon Bay. The Japanese shells were visible during their whole course. They circled comet-like to the town, and their explosions were marked by great splashes of fire. which shot up into the sky. The bombardement from this and other points began at mid. night and lasted until morning. The Russians did not reply to the Japane<e‘ fire.

This is nndoretoud to be intended as a rebuke to previous criti- cisms regarding Kamimura's failuré to preyont the sorties af the vladivosstoek cruisers. The sea was strewn with hammocks and planks. to which the men were cling- ing. The Naniwa and the Takaehieho forthwith lowered their boats in order to save as many as possible, and they were assisted by the torpedo boats of the squadron. which had just arrived. Meanwhile Kamimura,abandoning the pursuit of the Russian vessels, whose speed was unimpaired. although their hulls and armaments were severely in. jured, returned to the scene and aided in saving the lives of the Russians, of whom 600 were rescued. One died shortly afterwards. about 200 were wounded, 43 severely and 10 probably mortally. The survivors say that the captain, commander and most of the officers of the Rurik were killed. The Japanese casualties were 4t killed, in- eluding two officers. and (if) woumledo, including seven officers. The fighting power of the Japanese ships were unim- paired.

The Rossia and the Gromo. boi took fire five or six times. and on thvee or four oceasions the Gromoboi burst into flames. Finally the Rurik had only two guns left in action and her nuzzmunast was shot away. It was now 9 a.m.. and the Rossia and Gromohoi. saving the Rurik doomed, abandoned her and steamed away at full speed. Just then the fourth (-quadron. consisting of the Xaniwa and tho Takaohilto. arrived. Leaving them to deal with the Rurik. Kamimum pur- sued the fugitives. 1 The Battle Begins. I Presently sighting the Japanese, the Russians put about and steamed north. ward at full speed. the Rossia leading and the Rurik in the rear. It was now 5.20 a. m.. and the two squadrons were 8.000 metres apart. The Japanese opened fire and soon there was a hot in. terchange. The Russians were in sin- gle colmnn line ahead, while the Japan- ese were crossing the course in two squadrons in T shape, raking the enemy fore and aft. whereas the ships masked each other's fire. The Japanese pro- jectiles repeatedly took effect, where- upon the enemy, recognizing the disad- vantage of his position, changed his course for the purpose of bringing his line parallel to the Japanese. but this manoeuvre threw the Rurik out. owing to her inferior speed. thus enabling the Japanese to concentrate their fire upon her at a range of 4.000 to 5,0000 metres. Thereupon the Russia and (lromoboi, ob. serving the Rurik's plight. circled round her for the purpose of giving: her sat-cor, thus again exposing themselves to the Japanese raking fire, which was poured hotly into them, the Russian vessels rc. plying with every available gun. Rurik’s Crew Fought Gallantly. The Rurik now burst into flames and began to describe circles, her steering gear having apparently been injured. The Rossia and the (lromoboi also caught fire. Flames poured from their port- holes and there was evidently much con. fusion on board. but tho crews succeeded in extinguishing the fires. Meanwhile the Rurik began to go down by the) storm and had a list to port. Her brave crew, however, never flagged, serving the {was repeatedly. The.

Admiral Kamimurau four cruis- ers. forming one squadron. steered south from a point on the Corean coast. At 5 a. m, the three Vladivostoek cruisers were sighted on the port bow steering south at a distance of 70.000 metres. The Japanese prayed earnestly that these troublesome vessels would not again el- ude pursuit. Every precaution was taken to avoid observation, the Japan- ese steering across the rear of the Itur sian vessels, which advanced southward. apparently unconscious of the enemy's proximity. Interesting Story of Defeat of Vladivo- Itock Squadron. An unofficial account of the fight with the Vladivostock cruisers on tiun. day, the 14th, states that a warning was issued on the night of the tenth, that the enemy’s Port Arthur squadron had made a sortie and had broken up; that parts of the fleet would probably try to force the Tsushima Straits and make for Vladivostock, and that the Vladivostock squadron was likely to co- operate in the enterprise. Due watch was set against both contingencies. The morning of the 14th broke beautifully clear. Admiral Kamimura'a four eruis. ers. forming one mnmlmn cum-ml ei-_-gr, damage inflicted and the casualties sus- tained. At 8.30 p. m., when night fell, the combat terminated.

Rustin Officer Describes Havoc on the Curewitch. A London cable: The correspondent of the Tetegmph at Tsingchou says that in the course of an interview with the officer in charge. of the battleship Czare- witch he was told how three 12-inch shells were received on board in less than five minutes. The first killed Admiral Withoeft, two flag officers, the navigat- nig officer and four sailors, The secmd struck the conniug tower and entered a blockhouse (barbette?). Its effect way simply fearful. It killed or wounded eremybody in the vicinity. The third shell burst against the forenmst. leaving lit hanging by the stays. In addition to ;the murderous, work done by the second shell, it damaged the telephones. telo, graphs, compasses and steering gear. causing the ship to tremble and travel rapidly in circles for ten minutes. The ship was then steered with her engines. the course being laid by the stars. all the compasses being broken. The office: added: "It was during the fight that the Japanese torpedo hunts attacked us. We saw torpedoes fired. They pacaed very close, but none struck. All our ships sustained serious damage. We saw a fire on the Retviznn. but it was soon ex- tinguished. We also saw a great fire on the Peregviet. A 12-inch shell struck the Askold between the funnels. Our guns and engrnes worked splendidly. There was no leakage. The Krupp 9- inch armor plate resisted the projectiles excellently. The 12-inch guns reeoiled. After the funnels were destroyed We burned 350 tons of Cardiff coal where 120 tons were generally used. Both anchors were carried away by one shell." [Captain of humanly Sent Message of I Some.
