ROJESTVENSKY,S TALE.
Floating Mines NOaU Reported
Sir Shots Hit Russians.

London, Oct 2s-"The Daily Chronicle" to-
morrow will publish an interview with Admiral
Rojestvensky az Vigc this morning, which gives
a few interesting statements not yet published.
The admiral is quoted as saying that when the
vessels Of the Russian squadron found them
selves surrounded by the fishing feet the war
ships had 10 stop their engines continually so as
not to get their screws entangled in the nets.
The warships frequently gave way to the trawl-
ers.
Suddenly the cruiser Aurora saw ahead two
torpedo boats coming toward the squadron at
full speed. She turned her searchlght on them
and then noticed two floating mines close to her
An order to fire on the torpedo boats was I'm
mediately given. with the result that one of
them was sunk and the other escaped, and was
lost sight Of among the trawlers.
One trawler came within range OF a search
light and Immediately the protector was turned
sl1yward at an angle Of 45 degrees. signal
for the squadron not to fire on that boat. The
fire lasted altogether nine minutes. Touching
upon the warship which is alleged TO have re-
manned behind. the admiral said:
Any English naval officer understands that It
would be impossible for Russian war vessel to
remain behird, considering the presence of hos
tile torpedo boats. The trawlers had their lights
out. l need hardly affirm TO you my absolute
conviction Of the presence of these torpedo boats
I am very sorry for what has occurred. l did
not know Of ii until I arrived here, l sincerely
hope the matter Will be settled amicably.
The admiral added that there were two men
injured his flagship. One, priest. had a
hand shot off. Six shots hit the Russian vessels
The Aurora hit and has not yet been re-
paired.

others. both due to motor trouble at respectively
12:45 and D. m. Accidents Of this sort will be
