RUSSIAN STORY OF CATASTROPHE.
Dramatic Description Of the Loss OF the
Petropayloysk.

St. Petersburg, (By Cable. All
Russia was stunned by dispatches
from Port Arthur telling of the blow
ing up and sinking of the first class
battleship Pethopavlovsk by a mine
and the death of Vice-Admiral Maka-
rolf and all but score OF the 700
men and officers on his flagship.
The whole population of St. Peters
burg is awake, waiting for further
particulars of the disaster; and ex-
element throughout the city, and par
ticularly among the crowds of thous-
ands who throng the streets, is at
fever heat.
Despair prevails everywhere. The
streets are patrolled by largely in
creased guards.
AT the palace the high officials of
the government are i'll constant con-
ference. The censors are planning a
more rigid surveillance of war news.
The only circumstance in connection
with the awful affair that affords salts
faction is the fact that the Grand
Duke Cyril, the Cars cousin and
first officer of the fated vessel, was
saved. He sustained injuries, the
nature of which is not known. His
aid lost his life.
The rather formal dispatches re-
ceived so far do not make clear
whether the mine was a Russian or
Japanese, but it it thought it was one
of the former, which had drifted out
of place.
1t is also uncertain as to whether
there was fighting after the destruc-
ton of the Petropavlovsk, but one
dispatch indicates that severe en-
gagement was on.
The account of the disaster is dra-
matte.
The Russian feet steamed out of
the harbor of Port Arthur OF daylight.
Vice-Admiral Makaroff, the conf
mander of the Russian Pacific fleet,
had hoisted his flag on the formidable
Petropavlovsk and led the big array
of fighting ships as then went to en-
gage the enemy.
Admiral Togo's vessels were tar
cut on the horizon, maneuvering to
gain the best position to meet their
oncoming foes. The great hulks OF
the Russians moved in dignihed
columns seward, manned for action.

ship, Grand Duke Cyril, Captain
