None of tbe vessels were damaged above the water line. At 10 o'rlork Tuesday morning throe Japanese cruisers passed Port Arthur in sight of tho Russian Heel. The whole Russian fleet Immediately weighed anchor and went after them, but returned in half an hour. The Russlana left oae cruiser outside to watch for the Japanese ships. This cruiser was tired upon by the Japanese and ihe other Russian vessels took up their anchors and rruiied around the roalstead. The Japanese fleet came up within three miles sad a battle commenced. The Japanese fired on the ships and forts, which replied. Two Russian ahlpa were struck by shells, but only slightly damaged. The Russian fire fell short.
