Friqhtful Slaughter.

St. Petersburg: An official dis
patch from Vladivostok shows that
every officer on the Rossia and Gro

Rear Admiral lessen narrowly es'
capped the fate of Admiral Without.
He was standing on the bridge of the
Rossia when it was wrecked by a
shell. The two Russian cruisers were
literally ridd'ed, their guns and en-
gines being partially dismantled. The
escape Of the Russian vessels from
Admiral Kamimura's armored cruis,

Of luck. It is presumed that the pur'

dare go far north, fearing that some
of the vessels Of the Port Arthur
squadron would break through the
Straits Of Korea.
