at the White House with Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian Ambassador, Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressed the earnest
hope that Russia would forthwith con-
clude peace with Japan. Prolongation
OF the war, he believes. will not re-
suit in victory for the Russian arms
and can only serve to increase Japan's
demands and render more difficult the
drafting of treaty of peace which the
Gar, as well as the 1ikado, can sign.
The President spoke, he said, as the
friend of Russia no less than of Japan,
and on behalf not only of the Wash
ington Government but in the interest
of humanity. Until his words have
reached Tsarskoe-Selo and have been
communicated to Emperor Nicholas in
the friendly spirit In which they were
uttered, their effect cannot be estimat-
ed. Soon after returning to the EN-
bassy, Count CaSsini began the prepa-
ration of a dispatch to his government.
Figures prepared by the Naval In
telligence Bureau OF the Navy Depart
ment under direction Of Captain Sea-
ton Schroeder. its chief, show that, as
a result of the battle just fought and
its predecessors. Russia has dropped
from third to seventh place in naval
.power and Japan has risen from sew

The battle has put the United States
up from fifth to fourth place and Ger
many from fourth to third.

Russia and Austria. Prior to the bat
tie of the Sea of Japan they ranked as

moves from sixth place to fifth.
Practically all that Russia has left
is the Black Sea fleet. OF her nine

Manila, p. I.--Rear- Admiral Enquist,

and the French Consul, formally called
on Governor General Wright. After
the usual greetings had been ex-
changed, Governor Wright asked:
Admiral Enquist, do you wish to
stay at Manila permanently
RearAdmiral Enquist replied:
My ships are unseaworthy. have
not heard from my Government, and
request time to make repairs"
Governor Wright then said that ac-
cording to his construction of the neu-
trality laws the Russian vessels could
remain long enough to make necessary
repairs, and, after these were finished,
they must leave within twenty four
hours, or dismantle and inferno. Rear
Admiral Enquist requested permission
to bring his ships behind the break

A little later the Russians headed
west and we changed our course ac-
cordingly. Five ships of our second di-
vision concentrated their fire ON the
Borodino. Our first first division now
began firing vigorously, proceeding
parallel with the Russian line, and as
we began to press against the head of
the Russian line our third division
veered to the Russian rear, thus enYeI-

THE engagement proceeded hotly.
Our second division followed a course
parallel with the northern side of the
Russians, and this movement compiet-

who has returned to Sasebo, gives the
following account of the sea fight of
the Tsu Islands:
AT half-past five on Saturday morn
ing a wireless message reading The
encnly's squadron is in sight reached
the naval base. Tbis message was
transmitted to all our ships by the flag
ship, with instructions to get ready for
action. Our squadron left their rem
devious and headed for the eastern
channel Oft Tsushima.
When Tsushima was sighted to the
southwest the sea was rough and the
torpedo boats were forced to run for
the shelter Of the island Our third
fighting squadron with the Takashiho
to port reconnoitered the Russian
course, and at half-past eleven d. m.
informed the main squadron by wire
less telegram that the Russian ships
were passing into the east channel,
whereupon our main squadron, chang
ing its course somewhat to the south
ward. came in sight of Okinoshima at
one o'clock in the afternoon The third
division arrived later and Joined the
main squadron. The first and second
divisions, accompanied by the destroy
er fotilla, changed to westerly
course, while the third division and
the fourth destroyer fiotilla headed
slightly eastward.
During the maneuvre the Russian
flagship appeared to the southwark at
1.45 o'clock. The Russians steamed up
in double column. The fleet was nu-
merous, but no living being was visible.
The Russian ships seemed to be in
good order. Our ships hoisted the flag

to the Russians starboard, while the
third division kept in close touch with
the preceding two divisions. With the
Japanese ships proceeding in this order
It was thirteen minutes after two
o'clock when the Russians opened fire.
The first two shots fell short of our
line and 1t was some minutes later
before we commenced firing. Then
the battle was on, with firing from
both sides. Our destroyers kept on the
port side of the main squadron, and in
this formation we pressed the Russians
against the coast of Kiushiu and they
were obliged to change their course to
the east.
I'VE so maneuvred our ships as TO
have their bows parallel to the north
side of the Russian line. The Mikasa,
of our first division, which had been
leading. changed to the rear of the line,
while the Kasuga headed the line. The
engagement now became very fierce.
The Borodino was seen to be on fire.
