ment by a Japanese gunboat, declared that not to exceed twelve vessels of any kind of the

NEWS OF YESTERDAY'S BATTLE UNSATISFACTORY
' (Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
London. April 15 ? The news of yesterday 's battl^i^ Port Arthur is unsatisfactory.
It is coming through St. Petersburg and litter ic details beyond what was received!
yesterday, when it was stated that the engagemeift was still in progress, can be learned.
From the news received it is deducted that the Russian ships were forced to seek protec
tion from the shore batteries and that the Japanese are still in control of the waters.

below, it ignited four other charges of powder in the hand

prompt action of the captain in flooding the handling room

26 bodies were brought ashore for interment.
