LONDON, June 19,
Even in Japan nobody guessed the whereabouts of Admiral Togo and his fleet prior to the battle of Tuashima". Here the Japanese admiral created a new base, with a first-class anchorage for the whole of his fleet, and boom protections within which his ships could shelter in the event of defeat. Permanent forts, where first-class artillery was mounted, were also constructed to hold off the Russian fleet, no precaution being neglected by the Japanese.
Togo also semi-fortified and mined a number of places along the coast, even Talien-wan and Dalny being thus protected.
