Muscovy in Manchuria: scenes of the Russian military preparations. The European and Asiatic rivals in the Far East: the Mikado. The war-cloud in the Far East: the threatened Russo-Japanese hostilities. A unique Russian fighting unit: the “Hunter scouts”. The opponents in Manchuria: the Japanese leader. The exploit of Skrydloff’s command: the controlling spirit. Skrydloff’s pursuer: rear-admiral Kamimura, the watcher of Vladivostok. Before Port Arthur a second time: marshal Oyama, commander of the Japanese field forces. When the Russian bear is out for the day: a scene in the Japanese secret haven of refuge. Russia’s second navy: equipping the Baltic fleet at Cronstadt. Admiral Togo, as our artist saw him, on active service on board his flag-ship, the “Mikasa”. A batch of spies on their way to punishment before Port Arthur.
