Of the sea fight OF August 10, says:
Admiral Togo's first division sailed
out Of the Elliott islands or Talienwan

gress, utilizing the enormous superior

agem hitherto unknown, which para.
lyzed Withoeft's movements. as it was
almost impossible to detect the floating
mines without stationing lookout in
the bows. which necessitates exposing
the men to almost certain death. This
presumably caused Withoeft and his
staff to leave the coming towers and
stand on the bridge, whence they could
better detect the treacherous obstacles.

Czarevitch Was Surrounded by JAP

anese vessels.
Cheefoo.-Details OF the naval battle
OF August 10 reaching here show that
the Russian battle ship Czarevitch
made a remarkable struggle. When
the battle opened six battle ships on
each side opposed each other in al.
most parallel lines in the vicinity of
Round island. The cruisers and tor.
pedo boat destroyers on both sides
were ordered out of range. When the
fight had been under way for some
time the cruisers and smaller craft be.
came engaged. Finally the Czare.
witch was surrounded by four battle
ships and two cruisers. She endured
hours Of terrible fighting pluckily.
The shell which killed Admiral Wit
hoeft rebounded from a turret.

Tsingtau, Aug. l8.--The Russian
battleship Czarevitch and there torpe-
do boat destroyers are now in the
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 quieted, 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 8 thought here that il the Rus
slams persist in repairing their ships
they will eventually have to dismantle
them because Of the vastly superior
Japanese force which is waiting for
them outside the harbor. According
to the regulations which govern situa.
tions such rs the one existing here, the
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.

Doing Well.
A son and heir to the Russian throne
has been born.
The empress and the baby czaro-
vitvh at last reports were In the best
of condition. The heir to the throne
at his birth weighed 1917 pounds, Eng
lish weight, and has dark hair like
that of his paternal grandmother. The
christening probably will occur Au-
gust 20, but II nay possibly be further
delayed in order to give greater time
for preparation.
The emperor's brother, Grand Duke
Michael, joyfully surrendered his
rights and prestige as heir apparent tt
the throne to his infant nephew.
In receiving the congratulations of
his court the emperor in a brief reply
said: 81 am happier at the birth of a
son and heir than at victory Of my
troops. for now face the future calm
ly and without alarm, knowing by this
sign that the war will be brought to a
