concurrence Of Rojestvensky's report
that the torpedo boats, OF which the
Russian feet had none. ran in close
to the trawlers before heading for the
vessels of the Russian squadron. At
tention is called to the statement by
the fishermen that small vessel re-

disaster. while Admiral Rojestvensky
reports that the whole Russian squad.
ron proceeded to the soutnward.
While 1t is the general disposition
to throw the blame for all the lose OF
life upon the Japanese, some OF the
Russian newspapers do not hesitate to
intimate that 1t is Great Britain's pri-
vate AFFAIR. The Novoesti boldly sug
gesis the possibility that the torpedo
boats described by the Russian com
mander were boats loaned to the Jap

says his report, as 1t was expected it
would, puts an entirely different ace
upon the whole matter.

If the Russian Government could sue

mingling with the British trawlers in
order to more safely attack the Bal.
tic squadron on its way through the
North sea. Both the British premier
and the japanese Minister deny pos
itively that such thing was possible
The British fishermen deny 1t. Nothing
has been seen of these alleged swarms
of torpedo boats since they were seen
by Russian eyes, and they left nc
scars on the Russian ships. Where did
they come from? Where nave they
gone to? How is it they failed to &c
any damage? The possibilities as wei
as the probabilities are against the
contention of the Russians In the face
of the many stubborn facts, Admira
Rojestvensky, Prince Keretelli and

THIS AND THAT.

There are two sides to every ques-
tion. and II is fair TO present both
sides fully. British fishermen charge
that they were out IN the North Sea
engaged in their peaceful calling, with
their three colored lights displayed
showing them TO be fishermen, when
Russian Baltic squadron sailed into
them and proceeded wantonly to attack
them. They insist that the attack was
without a vestige Of excuse. That 1t is
objectionable
The Russian Admiral In charge OF
the Baltic squadron reports that his
feet was attacked by torpedo boats; /;
that he saw two of them that his
feet proceeded 20 sink one OF these
and that the others escaped. Prince
Keretelli is brought forth TO prove that
he saw eight torpedo boats gathering
