EYEWITNESS PRAISES
CONDUCT OF RUSSIANS

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. ia Russian
correspondent of the Associated Press, who
witnessed the naval engagement off
Chemulpo on Feb. 3. has telegraphed the
following account of the fight from Shang-
hal, where he has arrived with the sur
vivors of the Russian ships on board the
French cruiser Pascal:
A japanese squadron consisting of six
armored cruisers and eight torpedo boats
arrived off Chemulpo prior to the declara-
ton or war. Admiral Ur1u, commanding the
japanese squadron, requested the cruiser
Variag and the torpedo gunbOat Korietz to
put out TO sea, threatening otherwise TO at
tack them at their anchorage. A protest
was made by the captains of the French
cruiser Pascal, the British cruiser Talbot
and the Italian cruiser Elba. The captain
of the United States gunboat Vicksburg
alone refrained from protesting.
The heroism displayed by the crews of
both the Russian warships greatly i'm
pressed the foreigners present, who believed
the Russians were going to certain destruc-
ton. AS the Variag and the Korietz
steamed past the foreign war vessels the
crews manned the sides and cheered con-
tinuously and the strains of the Russian
national anthem accompanied the sailors
as they went into battle.
As soon as the Russian ships approached
the mouth of the harbor the japanese
poured out their fire upon them. Every gun
took part in the terrific cannonade, which
lasted for one hour. At 1 o'clock i'm the
IL < AAOO1 AlG lAA 6O1.
and the KOrietz returned TO their anchor
age.
The Russian officers and crew behaved
splendidly. Three times flames broke out
on board the Variag while she was under
fire and each time they were extinguished
as coolly as if the men had been at drill.
The wounded men were carried below and
the members of the crew who lost their
lives were replaced by others. The holes
made in the Variag by the projectiles of
the enemy were not stopped up. The Var
lag sustained terrible damage. Both star
board and port bulwarks were destroyed.
her guns were crippled and her hull was
riddled with shot. Thirty-three men on
board of her were killed. including Mid
shipman Count Nirod. The captain of the
Variag was bruised. The Korietz suf-
fered no injury
The Japanese squadron lost many men.
Two japanese cruisers were severely dam
aged and one torpedo boat was sunk.
For four hours, the correspondent con-
tinues, we remained in the harbor expect
ing the Japanese to enter and renew the at
tack. The injuries of the Variag made il
impossible for her to fight any longer. and
i'm order TO prevent the japanese from get
ting the vessels as spoils of war both the
Variag and the Korietz were sunk ard the
tender Sungari was burned.

HERO|SM OF RUSSIANS
WHO TOOK PART IN THE
BATTLE OF CHEMU[PO
Boldly Sailed Out of the Harbor
and Fought Desperately
Against Odds.
SUNK TWO WAR VESSELS
Crippled a Third, Went Back tc
Harbor and Blew Up Their
Own Ships.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 18th govern
ment to-day received from the officers Of
the Variag and Korietz. who are now at
Shanghai. their account of the fight at Che
mulpo. The account shows the admirable
handling of the two Russian warships in
the face of overwhelming odds. The officers
confirm the statements that when the Jap
anese squadron of eight warships appeared
of Chemulpo they were met by the small
torpedo gunboat Korietz. which had been
sent out 10 r~econnoiter; that the korletZ,
on sighting the Japanese squadron immedi-
ately returned TO the harbor and rejoined
the Variag. and that the japanese followed
TO the mouth of the harbor and sent the
Russians a peremptOry summons to sur
render. This message, the officers add, was
d~isregarded, whereupon the japanese
agreed to enter the harbor and engage the
Russians there. AS this would have endan-
gered the other vessels in the harbOr. in
Guiding the French and other foreign war
ships, Captain Roudnef. of the Variag. as
senior officer, boldly gave orders that both
vessels steam out and meet the enemy.
The fight outside between the Variag and
Korietz and the eight Japanese warships
resulted, according TO the officers report,
in the sinking of two Japanese warshipS,
one cruiser and one torpedo boat destroyer
and the gripping of a third vessel. The
Russian ships were repeatedly struck, but
they succeeded in re-entering the harbor,
where the captains decided to blow up their
ships TO prevent them from falling into the
hands of the enemy. The survivors of the
crews were taken off and the two warships
were set on fire. The Russians also blew
up a small steamer, the Sungari, which was
acting as a tender to the Variag.
The few st. Petersburgers who have just
heard the authentic news of the Chemulpo
fight are eloquent in their praise of the
sklllful and gallant conduct of the Variag'S
captain. They say he inflicted all the dam
age possible to the enemy's vessels, and
then destroyed his own ships. More than
that a sailor could not do in the face of
such tremendous odds.
The official report gives the losses on the
Variag at one officer and thirty-three men
killed, two officers slightly wounded and
seventeen men severely wounded. There
were no losses on board the Korietz. The
officers and crews of both ships behaved
nobly.
