RUSSIAN REPORT OF DISASTER
Late Admiral Makarof Did Go to En-
gage Enemy.

ST. PETERSBURG, April Is, $40 p.m.-
Out of the maze of conflicting reports re-
garding the sequence of events leading up
to the destruction of the Petropavlovsk 1t
is now established that Vice Admiral Max
aroff, early Wednesday morning, took out
his squadron to engage a weak division OF
six japanese cruisers which appeared on
the horizon after the Japanese torpedo
boats, which sank the Bezstrashni. had
been driven off by the Bayan. Particulars
of the torpedo boat fight are still lacking.
The Russian commander-in-chief pursued
the Japanese cruiser division until it was
reinforced by eleven battle ships, when he
retired into the outer roadstead, where he
was drawing up In line of battle when the
disaster to the Petropavlovsk occurred.
The exact circumstances Of the destruc-
ton of the battle ship are not known. 1t
Is certain that both her boilers and maga-
zines exploded, but 1t is not absolutely sure
that she touched mine, although the
weight of opinion at the admiralty is that
such was the case, and that IL SO it was a
Russian and not a Japanese mine.
A high official of the admiralty said:
Powder Magazine Exploded.
TT is evident a powder magazine ex-
ploded, because a jet of flame went up with
the steam from the bursting boilers The
magazine could not have exploded sponta-
neously. The temperature of magazine is
too closely watched, and the powder is
stored so as to render an explosion scarcely
possible
Doubtless. mine caused the defamation
of the powder and torpedo magazines. Per-
haps the truth will never be known, and
the disaster will take place with the
countless other mysteries of the sea-"
1t is absolutely denied that Admiral Max
aroff's ships participated in naval en-
gagement.
Although the papers this morning were
allowed to print reports from abroad of a
Japanese bombardment of Port Arthur, off,
cial knowledge of such bombardment, If
it occurred is not admitted.
Twenty Eight Officers Were Lost.
The injuries to the Pobieda are declared
to be slight. The explosion which injured

Today.
NEW YORK. April 15.-The pumping OF
air into the helmet of the imprisoned diver
in the reservoir at Boonton. N. j.. was
still going on today. Although no one has
the slightest hope that Hoar is alive, the
pumps will be kept going until the body
is recovered. A great crowd of spectators
gathered at the reservoir early in the day
in the expectation of seeing the body
brought to the surface.
John M. Rice. a Brooklyn diver. who de-
scended the f1ume shaft yesterday to repair
the damaged valve. had almost completed
his work last night and 1t was expected
that some time today the gates would be
closed and by the stoppage of the suction
the great ball of wood and lead be released,
thereby making possible the removal of
Hoar's body.
Latest-Diver Hoar's body was taken from
uhe Boonton reservoir this afternoon.

staff officers to his cabin, was engaged in
