HOW THE FLEETS FOUGHT
Russians Sent One Warship to Clear
Way Thru the Jap Lines.

Shanghai Aug. 15.-On the Rus
sian ships emerging from Port Ar
thur, the Japanese formed into two
lines, the battleships being in front
and the smaller vessels astern. The
two fleets steamed in parallel lines
about four and half miles apart.
The Czarevitch turned eastward and
the Japanese tried to head her off,
repeating this maneuver three times:
The fleets opened fire at a range of
four miles, while the smaller Japanese
vessel at the same time strewed mines,
which, however, the Russians easily
avoided.
When the Czarevitch was disabled,
the Retvizan steamed straight thru
the Japanese lines, discharging both
her broadsides, thus allowing the rest
of the fleet to reform and succeed in
turning back. The Czarevitch saw the
Peresviet lose her fighting top and
listing heavily.
CZarevitch q Ruin.
Chi-fu, Aug. 15.-Officers Of the
steamship Dagmar, which arrived here
from Tsing-chau, say that the battle-
ship CZarevitch is a fearful wreck,
She has four holes a foot and a half
square, each of which are covered by
wooden patches. Her masts are shat
tered and part of her bridge has been
CdIIlcu away ldCA AeAAAAACAS Oh ISslfAoS
ed into all sorts of shapes and her
deck covered with debris. Her. guns
are dented by shells and her light
gear has been swept into the sea. She
presents a sickening sight. All her
| officers were killed and many sof the
men were wounded. The igroans OF
/ the dying were fearful to hear.

DEMOCRATS OPEN UP
in New York Now Ready
for Business.

New York, Aug. 15.-The national
democratic headquarters were opened
today at No. 1 West Thirty-fourth
street:
Maine democrats have been calling
on the national committee for speak
ers, and Chairman Taggart has been
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of send
ing several prominent men to that
state. The reports from Maine indi-
cate reduced majorities for the repub-
licans, and the democrats think a
close vote, even tho the republicans
are successful, will have a great moral
effect in other parts of the country.
Democratic speakers are not easily
obtained, as many have arrangements
ito speak later in the campaign.

Charge Against Promoters.
New York Sun Special Service.
New York. Aug. 15.-Governor Odell,
who is said to have lost more than $125, 900
in the promotion" Of the ship trust, has
begun suit at Newburgh against the men
who organized the project to recover the
amount of his investment with interest.
The governor declines to discuss the mat
ter, but it is known the suit involves sen
sational charges. It is said the suit
charges the promoters with having con-
verted to their own use about S2,000,000,
which, according to the prospectus under
which he signed his name, was to have
gone to the company.

but the remainder Of Admiral To-
COS fleet came up, causing a general
engagement, in which the Japanese
again were favored by the superiority
of their rpedoboats-thirty to eight
Their artillery also was stronger by
half as many guns and their secon-
dairy batteries by a third more than.
their main batteries.
One Russian Advantage.
THE Russians had the advantage,
however, of the disposition Of the big
guns Of the Czarevitch, Poltava and
fire aft enabling them to punish the
enemy behind. The battle at this stage
was limited to long-range firing, in
which the tWelve-inch guns had a
monopoly. It was at this time that
the Czacevitch was crippled and the
others gathered round to protect her.
It was the crucial period. The jap
anese, according to their custom, con-
centrated their fire on the hagships,
the Retvizan and Czarevitch, which
We're both crippled"
The writer adds that he believes
the Russian fagships were put out
of action, but he is convinced that
the Japanese sustained severe loss,
and recalls the fact that many Jap
anese vessels were crippled at the
naval battle of the Yalu by the Chi
nese warships. fgt
He does not expect Admiral Togo
was in a position to follow up the
Russian warships, which, he claims,
escaped and probably are heading for
Vladiyostok.
