steal their launch. Before them, they

standing on a log at the edge of the
water. We spoke to him, when he
plunged into the river and disappeared.
At the moment we did not think it
when We ran down and found there
was no log. we became scared We

found and where his tracks led to the
water"

JAPANESE SUFFER ENORMOUS LOSSES
Member of the Baltic Squadron
Gives a New Version of the Fir
ing Upon the British TraWlers

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 5. 4:15 a.
m--St Petersburg newspapers and
their correspondents have been unre-
mittent IN their efforts to interview
Captain Claddo and his fellow officers
from the Baltic squadron, who, how
ever, have steadfastly refused to talk
fer publication
The Novoe Vremya this morning
prints a long letter, dated Vigo, Oc-
tOber IS. and credited 10 a member Of
the Baltic squadron. containing sum-
mary Of events leading up to the firing
upon the British trawlers and the in
cidents of the night Of October Il. The
letter says that Admiral Rojestvensky
and the Admiralty, before the sailing
Of the squadron, received from secret
agents a mass Of information regard
ing the plans and whereabouts Of Jap
anese boats.in European waters. The
letter says:
The japanese had torpedo boats in
the Norwegian fjords and also pur-
chased a number Of fishing vessels at
Hamburg, Hull. Southampton and
Christiania- The Russians also pur-
chased a number Of fishers and small
steamers for scouting duty.
The Russian Government warned
the governments Of Germany, Den
mark and Great Britain of the inform
alton in its possession and asked that
special precautions be taken TO keep
the track Of the squadron clear Of COM
merciaI vessels. Germany and Den
mark both responded. Denmark sent
a warship with the squadron and
warned of a number of fishermen and
coasting craft. Before leaving Skagen,
Admiral Rojestvensky received further
specific Information stating that four
japanese torpedo boats, accompanied
by q collier. were waiting west Of Cape
Skagen. The Baltic squadron left in
the morning and the japanese. in order
10 make a night attack, were obliged
TO follow and catch up with the war
ships in the North Sea"
The writer enters into a detailed
statement OF the movements Of the
various divisions of the squadron the
day the ships left Skagen, tending TO
show that all the Russian torpedo
boats were sent ahead and that none
Of them was anywhere in touch with
the battleships and cruisers. The night

Of October p. according TO this letter,
Admiral Rojestvensky received wire
less message from the transport KANT
chatka saying there was trouble with
her machinery. that she was thirty
miles in the rear and asked whether
the squadron would await her arrival
OF proceed.
Then came a number OF wireless mes
sages in Russian, also signed KANT
chatka. asking the squadron's where
abouts by latitude and longitude, es-
pecialIy where the battleships OreI and
Kniaz Souvaroff were. These messages
excited suspicion and the flagship re-
piled, asking the names and the num-
Der in the family Of a certain officer on
beard the Kamtchatka- Thereupon the
messa ges stopped It was 1855 o'clock
that night, the writer continues, when
the squadron saw a green flare, such
as is used by vessels in distress, evi-

stop and assist Soon thereafter a
searchlight was thrown on the Russian
vessels by a vessel supposed TO be ac-
companying the Japanese torpedo
beats. This made the squadron a plain
target for attack
At the same time the Russians made
out the forms of two torpedo-boats in
the darkness TO one side Searchlights
were Immediately thrown from the
squadron on the strange torpedo-boats.
and they instantly darted ahead at full
speed. The squadron opened fire and
the boats came under the guns Of the
OreI, Kniaz Souvarof and the Borodino.
It is thought that one was sunk Mean
time the squadron got entangled with
the trawler fleet, which was displaying
no lights. flags or signals Admiral Ro-
5estvensky. however. despite the fact
that some of them were close enough
to do serious damage had they had evil
intentions, signaled the squadron to
stop firing. Some Of the trawlers were
then close under the bows of the squad
ron.
The Russian ships did not stop either
to assist or TO inquire If assistance were
needed. Such proceeding at night time,
the letter says, would have been entire
ly too hazardous.
The letter says that Admiral Rojest-
vensky was detained outside Of Brest
10 wait for orders and then proceeded
TO vigo.
