DEATH AND CARNAGE,
Most Terrible Scenes on the varias at
Chemulpo.

Victoria. Il. c.. April 13.-Details of the
nSnt between the Russian cruiser Nariag
and the Japanese fleet, which have never
been published on this side, were supplied
ny passengers of the Northern Pacific
liner Victoria, just arrived from the ORR
cnt.
The principal details relate to the awful
effects of the japanese shell fire and the
strange effects of the battle. A copy of
the COrean review of late date relates the
story practically as follows:
When four miles separated them the
japanese threw shots across the Rus
slams bows as signals to heave to and
surrender. The only answer the Russians
made was to crowd on more fire and the
NariaS headed straight for the Japanese
flagship. The object was to get as close
as possible to the Japanese, the Va
riagS guns We're only six and four
tcnths inches and quite useless at the
two Japanese vessels that smashed the
Nariag to pieces were the ASama and
ChIyoda. No other vessels of the jap
anoSc fleet took part.
Not long after the warning shots the
two Japanese ships let loose their whole
battery The Nariag swcrved and gave
the Japanese her starboard broadsidc.
Her steering gear was smashed early in
the fight and she had to depend entirely
on her engines to steer. Ten of her l.
gun captains were shot away. A shell
struck her fCrccastlc, passed between the
arm and body OF gunner who had his
nainu ON mis- mp. ana bursting. Killed eV-
cry other man on the forecastle. Both
bridges were destroyed by bursting shells
and Capt. Rubnief was seriously wound
cd.
"A lieutenant who was in the coming
tower peering through the observation
slit had his face beaten in and his head
crushed by the impact of a shell which
struck the slit Just opposite his face and
exploded. The Nariags surgeon went vio-
lently insane shortly after the engage
ment. SO that the wounded men had to
wait until the boats with medical assist
ance arrived from the neutral ships. The
explosion of the I<orietZ was so violent
that the neutral commanders asked that
the Nariag be not blown up. She was
accordingly set on fire and sunk The
Nariag's II dead were placed in one of
the cabin and burned and went down
with their ship.

AT ST. PETERSBURG.
Intense Excitement Caused by Reports
of Disasters.

st. Petersburg, April i3.-4.3S p. NJ
Intense excitement has been caused
here by the reports spread broadcast in
this city regarding the disaster at Port
Arthur, the Grand Duke Cyril being
reported wounded, the battleship
Pteropavlovsk sunk and Vice Admiral
Makaroff killed. But the reports are
very conflicting as to whether the
catastrophe was the result of a fight
with the enemy or due to the Petro-
pavlovsk striking Il mine in the har-
Dor. Some of the rumors declare that
MakarOM was on board the Pctropav-
lovsll and others say that he was not
on board. The report that there had
been fight originated out of the sup
position that the Petropavlovsk could
rot have sustained such injuries other
wise.
1t is estimated that from 600 to 700
men persisted with the Petropavlovsk.
1t was also pointed out that it was
known the Japanese had been hover
ing in the neiShborhood for several
days.
Later it became known that the first
| telegram received by Duke Vladimir
said briefly that Grand Duke Cyril had
been wounded and that the Petropav-
lovsk had been lost within mentioning
a fight. The mass of the reports agree
i'll tow statements-that Grand Duk4
Cyril, between whom and the throne
there is only Il single life, was wound
ed, and that the Petropavlovsk was
| lost.
The correspondent of The Associated
Press has been cautioned by high
authority to be extremely reserved
about accepting reports current in the
city.
According to Il very high authority
the latest advices received at the VIM
ter palace here are to the effect that 4
naval battle is still progressing off Port
Arthur.
