VARIAG CAPTAINS REQUEST
Russian Commander Asked Brit
ish Officer to Sink His Ship.

The Seoul correspondent of the Lon
don Mail in the course of a descriptive
narrative of the Chemulpo battle be-
tween the Japanese and Russian fleets
says that before the fight the captain
of the Russian cruiser Variag held a
conference with the British, French
and Italian captains aboard the British
cruiser Talbot, in which he asked for
the protection of a foreign warship in
leaving the harbor. The request was
refused.
The British launch delivered q pro-
test to the japanese admiral imme-
diately before the action. The Amert-
cans present refrained from attending
the naval conference or partaking in
the demonstration, although some of
the Russian wounded were received on
board the United States gunboat Vicks-
burg.
While the Variag was being sunk her
captain, fearing that the Japanese
would reach the vessel before she set
tied down, requested the captain OF the
Talbot to fire at her water line. This
request was also refused.
The cruiser Iwate had her three
decks pierced by a shell, and the bat
tleship TUFTS smokestack was de-
stroyed. No ship, however, was in
jured to the extent of necessitating
drydoCking.
