MAKAROFF RESPONSIBLE.
Put Heart Into Russian Soldiers and Causes Increased Energy.
The news comes from Port Arthur that preparations have been made to give the Japanese a warm reception in case they again attempt to block the harbor.
Vice Admiral Togo was right in surmising that Vice Admiral Makaroff is responsible for the change in Russian naval tactics and for the inspiration of Russian seamen. A signalman named Andronsenko, who, during the bombardment of Vladivostok, remained at a small signal station on Askold island, near the enemy's ships and wired information of the movements of the enemy to the forts, has been decorated with the cross of St. George.
