SURE THEY WE'RE WARSHlPS.
Admiral Rojestvensky Certain Ships
Were of Warship Type.

Admiral Rojestvensky Certain Ships
Were Of Warship Type.
London, Oct. 2S.-The version of
Admiral Rojestvensky's report given
out in London says Rojestvensky
states that there was never anv in
tention of firing on the British J awl
ers. If stray Shot hit boat it was
entirely an accident. The trawlers
were early noticed by the Russian
fleet as it passed Dogger bank. Among
the fishing boats two steamers
moving at high speed and looking ex-
actly like torpedo boats were observ-
ed. ROjestvensky concluded that
these were Japanese torpedo boats.
The Russian admiral was of the opin-
ion that his squadron fired only on
these two ships The admiral emphat-
ically denies that a Russian warship
was left behind. He declares his Of.
ficers were in total ignorance of the
fact that any of the Russian shots
struck the trawlers and he expresses
his extreme regret and that of every
man in the feet, that any trawlers
were damaged and that any of the
crews were killed or wounded.
The admiral asks what was the
warship noticed lowering near the
scene of the affair and declares that
all the Russian warships steamed off
together.
Rojestvensky further declares that
two of the ships on which the Rus.
slams fired were Enthusiastically of the
warship type.
In concluding his telegram Admiral
RoJestvensky expressed in the most
warmhearted way the regrets of the
Whole squadron 70 the fishermen who
suffered, and to the families of the
vistims.
Rojestvensky's report was tele.
graphed from Vigo direct to the en-
peror, who received it last night. 1t
was communicated to Ambassador
Hardinge by Foreign Minister Lams-
dorff himself. There is reason to be-
lleve that the British embassy was
also acquainted with information
which reached the Russian authori-
ties some time ago of the arrival at
and subsequent mysterious disappear
ance from Hull of twenty Japanese,
mention of which was made in these
dispatches October Is. 1t is pointed
out that the original version of the
accident as recited by the captain of
The trawler Moulmein comedies
closely with Rojestvensky's. The
captain said that while the squadron
was passing he suddenly noticed two
torpedo boats, which approached so
near that he thought they intended
boarding him, when they sheered off,
heading back for the squadron. Al
most Immediately after the squadron
opened fire. According to one ac-
count of Rojestvensky's report, it
specifically states that there were no
torpedo boats with the squadron when
the incident occurred. IF this is true
the statement of the captain of the
Moulmeln would completely corrobor-
ate Rojestvensky.
