DETAILS OF SEA FIGHT From hints dropped in the intelligence bureau of the admiralty the sea tight in Korea hay will add greatly to the fume of Japan's navy. Admiral Togo, having in mind the Baltic Meet, fought to cripple the enemy's squadron and keep it in Port Arthur waters, but at no time risked the loss of his battleships and first class cruisers by it close tight with the Russian ships. That he could have destroyed them there is no doubt here, but it would have been with the chance of losing or disabling several of his own heaviest lighting machines.

The abutments are constructed of concrete, forming on each side what is really one solid rock. On this the iron work of the bridge will rest. The bridge will be eighty feet wide and the span 104 feet. ,Tlie course of the battle as shown by the. navy charts here discloses that Admiral Togo kept driving the enemy toward the coast of Korea on a sea lino more than 100 miles long, always keeping his own fleet well to the south, so as to prevent the escape of the main Russian fleet from Korea bay. His bulletin announcing that "the fighting strength of our fleet is unimpaired" makes clear that he fought a scientific battle and Cook no chances at close quarters. While the admiralty declines to name the ships, Togo is understood to have had five battleships, nine cruisers of several grades arid four torpedo boat flotillas in action.

Admiral Togo, having in mind the Baltic Meet, fought to cripple the enemy's squadron and keep it in Port Arthur waters, but at no time risked the loss of his battleships and first class cruisers by it close tight with the Russian ships. That he could have destroyed them there is no doubt here, but it would have been with the chance of losing or disabling several of his own heaviest lighting machines.

The following reductions on the balance of this season's stock Intended to span the tracks of these railroads and afford an entrance and driveway to Bronx pnrk at this point, the bridge has been in course of construction for some time by the Baltimore Bridge company. The abutments are constructed of concrete, forming on each side what is really one solid rock. On this the iron work of the bridge will rest. The bridge will be eighty feet wide and the span 104 feet. ,Tlie course of the battle as shown by the. navy charts here discloses that Admiral Togo kept driving the enemy toward the coast of Korea on a sea lino more than 100 miles long, always keeping his own fleet well to the south, so as to prevent the escape of the main Russian fleet from Korea bay. His bulletin announcing that "the fighting strength of our fleet is unimpaired" makes clear that he fought a scientific battle and Cook no chances at close quarters. While the admiralty declines to name the ships, Togo is understood to have had five battleships, nine cruisers of several grades arid four torpedo boat flotillas in action.
