The correspondent of The Associated Press
asked Captain Matousevitch of the battleshlp
CzarevtCh, in the hospital here to-day, what
lessons he deduced from the naval flght OF Au-

long reply but he said concl Isons might be
drawn from the fact that the 10 and II inch
guns were accurately served and did the most
damage, and that while the Russians at one
time were beset by thirty-six torpedo boats and
destroyers the small vessels fire inaccu-

fired at the Czarevitch but the captain says
that not one of them struck the battleship.

only to France. This step Is said TO have been
taken in accordance with plan conceived by Pope
Leo TO form a compact between France and the
Vatican, that when. at earlier or later day,
the republics revenge against Germany came, 1t
would also mean a reconquest of temporal power
for the Papacy.
This policy ably conducted by Cardinal Simeon
