st. Petersburg. Aug. 1S.-It is
learned from official sources by the
Associated Press that the cruisers
Gromoboi and RoS>ia have reached
Yladivostock after the battle with
Admiral Kamimura's squadron off
Tsu Island. Both ships were consid-
erably damaged. The Rossia lost two
officers killed.
A later official dispatch from
Nladivostock shows that every officer
on the Rossia and .Gromoboi was
either killed or wounded. Rear Adj
miiai Jessen narrowly escaped the
fate of Admiral Without He was
standing on tlsr bridge of the Rossa
when il was wrecked by shell. Two
Russian cruisers were literally rid
died. their guns and engines being
partially dismantled. The escape of
the Russian vessels from Admiral
Kamimura's s four armored cruisers is
regarded as a wonderful piece of luck,
1t is presumed that the pursuers of
the Russian ships did not dare go
far north, fearing that some of the
vessels of the Port Arthur squadron
would break through the straits of
Korea.
There is no confirmation of the re-
port that the cruisers Pallada and
Diana have reached Vladivostock and
the admiralty has no news bearing
on the whereabouts of the other YES
sells of the late Rear Admiral Wit
hoft'S squadron.
