CORRESPONDENTS THRILLING STORY
OF OVSK'S DESTRUCTION

lowed by the Bayan To their support
came six of the enemy's cruisers. Still
the Bayan went on, seemingly inviting
certain destruction. She soon ported
her helm to bring a broadside to bear
upon the foe. which was advancing In
line of battle.
She opened on some of them, and
turned quickly and stood on into the
hail of the enemys broadside. The
japanese steamed at slight angle,
enabling all their guns to bear, and
projectiles rained around the Bayan,
raising columns Of water as they
burst, but none struck home.
To the eastward suddenly appeared
five more of our torpedo boats, re-
turning to the harbOr under forceu
draught. Two of the Japanese cruisers
were Immediately detached to cut
them off, but the Bayan, noticing the
movement, cheekmated it by turning
hot fire upon them. The move was
effective. The Japanese cruisers
slowed down, and the torpedo boats
slipped through into the harbor.
Meanwhile, In accordance with Vice
| Admiral Makaroffs order, the battle
ships and cruisers in The inner harbor
slipped anchor Majestically the Pc
tvopavlovsk. flying the admiral's flag,
| steamed through the entrance. On her
appearance the more formidable enemy

turn. Then stream Of vari-colored

boats. The flags announcing the ad-
miral's appreciation of the Bayan were
hauled down and replaced by another
signal. Immediately the torpedo boats
dashed ahead. and the heavier ships be-
gan to spread out.
Seeing the flight of the Japanese
cruisers. the Petropavlovsk opened

cruisers.
Unable to get within effective range
of Vice Admiral Makaroff's ships. the
enemy stopped eighteen yersts from
shore.
Our squadron. with the Petropav-
lovsk leading. arrived at the entrance
to the harbor and drew up in line OF
battle. Another signal was Hoated
from the flagship. and the torpedo
boats at once proceeded through the

DIR, Claude L. Cooper. secretary of
the State Board OF Health, believes
that smallpox will be entirely
stamped out in Colorado within few
years, owing to the care that is now
being exercised in vaccination. The
decrease of cases of smallpox during
the past six months in the state, as
compared with a similar period year
ago. has been fully 500. Typhoid
fever was very light during the same
period of time in all parts of the
state except Leadville. which suffered
an epidemic Of the disease as the re-
suit of bad sanitary conditions, which
have since been remedied. The fol.

rlad OF the h0norS.

The North Atlantic training squadron
now at Newport and the submarine tor

Narragansett bay last night.
The AFFAIR was planned by Rear Ad-
miral Wise and consisted OF an attack by
the Shark on the flagship Minneapolis. the

the squadron. three In number.
AS soon as darkness settled over the
bay the Shark left her moorings and pre-
pared for the coming test. The larger
vessels scattered for purposes OF detection
and the play OF searchlights over the
water was spectacular in the extreme.
Nothing at all was seen OF the sub
marine until she finally rose some 40 yards
away from the flagship. incidentally
spilling the crew of a cutter into the
water. The Shark announced by signal
that II had destroyed" the Minneapolis
and that its work was finished.
The test was most satisfactorily carried
out and proved beyond a doubt the
efficiency OF the latest type OF the sub
marine lighting craft.
