Recent Naval Engagement.
Conspicuous Bravery ot a Russian Warship.
Death-roll Among Her Crew.
(Received To-day, at 7.32 a.m.) London, Last Night. Commander Agura, of the Mika&a, describing the battle on tho 10th, says the Russians were lured south. The Russian shells nearly all flew wide. Twelve-inch shells in the evening struck the Czirevitch on the port side, below tho water-line. The Czarevitch then turned to the starboard. The other vessels put their helms to port to avoid a collision, causing them to fall into confusion. Tbe Japanese poured in a hot tire, silencing tho Russians, excepting tho Rctvisan, which showed conspicuous bravery, maintaining a cannonade until the concentrated fire had reduced her to fitful discbarges from two guns, owing to severe damage and casualties among the crew.
