Tsingtau, Aug. 16..-The Russian
battleship Czarevitch and there torpe-
do boat destroyers are now in tho
hands of hte local German government
for repairs, but it is improbable that
these vessels will fight again in this
war.
Captain Truppel, chief of the mill
tary and civil administration of the
protectorate of Kiauchou, after having
completed provisions for the neutrality
of the crews of the Russian warships
during their stay here, proceeded to go
on board the Czarevitch. The crew Of
the battleship were alarmed at the ad-
vent of Captain Truppel's party and
seized their weapons. They were quick
ly quoted, however, and the comman-
der of the Czarvitch was informed that
it was necessary that the Russian flag
be hauled down and remain down pend
ing the completion of the repairs.
The Czarev itch's flag was then low
cred amid impressive formalities, after
which Captain Truppel visited each Of
the trhee destroyers, whose flags were
also lowered.
1t thought here that if the Rus
slams persist in repairing their ships
they will eventually have to dismantls
them because of the vastly superior
Japanese force which is waiting for
them outside the harbor. According
to the regulations which govern situa-
tons such AS the one existing here, tho
destroyers will not be permitted to
leave in body, but go out at intervals
of six hours. 1t is believed here that
the Russian cruisers Pallada and Diana
have reached Vladivostok.

st. Petersburg-The Novoe Vremya's
naval expert, reviewing the incidents
of the sea fight of August 10, says:
Admiral Togo's first division sailed
out of the Elliott islands or Talienwan
and arrested Admiral Withoeft's pro-
gress, utilizing the enormous superior
ity of the Japanese in torepdo boats to
attack the Russian vanguard and SOW
ing floating mines in its course, a STRAIT
agem hitherto unknown, which para
lyzed Withoeft's movements, as it was
almost impossible to detect the floating
mines without stationing a lookout in
the bows, which necessitates exposing
the men to almost certain death. This
presumably caused Withoett and his
staff to leave the coming towers and
stand on the bridge, whence they could
better detect the treacherous obstacles.

GREATEST MODERN BATTLE.
Gloom in Russia Over Crushing Blow
to Warships.

Not since the beginning of the war
between Japan and Russia has any
thing so seriously affected Russian
spirits as the gradual revelation of the
extent of the Port Arthur squadrons
reverse.
Captain Matousevitch makes it clear
that the Port Arthur fight probably
was the greatest battle of ironclads
since steel replaced wood in naval con-
struction. The effort of the Russians
to fight their way through the Japan
ese probably would have been success.
full had it not been for the disaster to
the battleship Czarevitvh, which COM
PEELED the squadron to fight second
battle, ending in the dispersal of the
Russian fleet in the darkness.
1t is learned that the awful mortality
among the officers of the Czarovitch
which was merely stated in the official
report, is due to the fact that Admiral
Withoeft and most of his officers were
gathered on the bridge during the EN-
gagement in order to set an example
for and encourage the men, instead of
remaining in comparative safety in the
coming tower. A Japanese shell burst
beneath the bridge, wrecking that part
of the ship and killing or wounding
every officer on duty Whereabouts.
One of the most important features
of Captain Matousevitchs dispatch
aside from its grimly brief account of
the battle, is the detailed statement of
the makeup of Rear Admiral Togo's
fleet. which consisted of six battle
ships, II cruisers of various classes
and approximately 80 torpedo boats.

of August 10 reaching here show that
the Russian battle ship Czarevitch

were ordered out of range. When the

came engaged. Finally the Care

ships and two cruisers. She endured
hours of terrible fighting pluckily.
The shell which killed Admiral Wit
