iabors and energy and the absolute
devotion OF all concerned. The health
of the first squadron is most satisfac-
tory"
The authorities are decidedly elated
over the simultaneous receipt of dis
patches from Rear Admiral Withoeft,
who commands the Russian feet at
Port Arthur. and from Vladivostok,
ir-.cating that the fleets at both places
ere ia fighting trim. They decline to
dis. lose the means Of transmission of
Admiral Withoeft's dispatch, but the
facc that the message brought the ad-
nirafs report up TO June IA indicates
a2Ht Il hardly came by a runner

ditiOn Of the squadron makes il ap-
parent that The vessels are ready TO 90

squadron has disappeared off the
west coast OF Aomori prefecture. The
Russians recently searched two mer-
chantmen and to one of them trans
ferred the Englishmen taken from the
Japs nese transport S2do. They then
permitted the vessels To depart.
TOXIC, June 1S.-Five hundred and
nine survivors Of the japanese trans
ports Sado and Hitachi. which were
destroyed by Russian warships, have
arrived at southern ports The Rus
slams permitted 610 non-combatants to
leave the Sado, but their whereabouts
is unknown.
The japanese officers and soldiers
who were detained on board the Sado
had prepared to commit suicide, but
changed their minds when the Russians
suddenly departed.
Apparently no chance was given the
non-con1batants on board the FIitachi
to leave, and the Russians raked the
crowded decks Of the crippled trans
port with shrapnel.
NAGASAKI, June 1S.-Thirty more
survivors from the transport Hitachi
have arrived at Bakata (seYenty- miles
from here); and it is probable that more
survivors have reached the adjacent
islands. The authorities are reticent
about the extent of the losses.
