Toxic Believes Togo Took Russian Fleet
on Both Sides.
Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUM-
TOXIC, May S0.-In the absence OF official
information. the following is vague out
line OF what Is known to have been the
opening tactics Of the great battle.
1t is generally understood that the jap
anese maintained two picket lines south Of
the straits and line further south during
the daytime. On Saturday pickets cruising
to tho south picked up the Russians az they
approached. The pickets retired and in
formed what might be called the two
weaker squadrons, lying east Of Tsu Island.
Thence a wireless message was sent to
Admiral Togo, who was watching the west
ern strait, by which 1t had been expected
the Russians would approach. and he de-
spatched an old ironclad to meet the Rus
SLAMS and lure them in the direction Of
Oki Island.
On Saturday afternoon the first men,
toned squadrons, having the advantage
OF the light In their position to the west
ward of the Russians, attacked. Mean
while Admiral Togo circled north Of Tsu
and Oki Islands and appeared behind the
Russians. After that, it is supposed, he
drove them over mines, with the result
that four Of the Russian ships were sunk
that night.
Togo's great victory was received with
deep satisfaction, but the city is amazingly
quiet to-day.
The strict censorship OF the past few
days is regarded az having been successful
in keeping the Russians at Vladivostok In
ignorance. No Russian ships came south
ward to join in the battle.

Special Cable Dispatches 10 THE SUN.
PARIS, May sO.--The Paris press COM
ments extensively to day upon the great
naval battle. The Echo de Paris says it is
more than a defeat; 1t is the ruin, for the
present at any rate, Of Russia's hopes. The
Journal says that Russia has lost the game.
The Figaro says: THE news will be par
ticularly painful to U.S. but the whole OF
Europe will receive with some apprehen-
sion for the future this fresh success Of
ambitious Japan, the glorious champion
OF the yellow races
The Aurore as 8: will they at last
underst and in st. Petersburg that the time
has come to make peace?"
The tempo says that as the Japanese
army is still numerically superior, and as
Russia continues vainly to struggle against
the small transport facilities of the Siberian
railway, it is impossible to see how her
fortunes on land are ever to be retrieved.
ROME, May 3O.--All the newspapers here
express the opinion that Russia should now
make peace. Several Deputies have given
notice OF interpretations In the Chamber
urging the Government to take st cps to
secure mediation.
BERLIN, May 30.-As was expected, the
yellow peril Is again prea ched loudly in
certain quarters here. Solemn warnings
Of danger to the white race appear in the
newspapers. The National Zeitunp says the
victory In the Corean Straits Is grave and
threatening for the whites, With the wreck
OF Rojestvenskys ships the China Sea will
swallow not only Russia's prestige, but the
credit OF the white man with the yellow race.

the height Of folly for Russia to attempt
to continue military operations. The out
come Of such q continuance. he asserted
emphatically, would be to deter Russian
progress for hundred years, cause
revolution and perhaps bring about terri
torial and political disintegration. It
was inevitable, he said that II Russia con-
| tinued to make a show Of force against
japan her armies would be pushed back
further and further until she would be
brought face to face with losing all Of her
territorial possessions In Asia, including
! Siberia.
1t Is recalled, however, that Japan has
declared that she Is not seeking any terri
tory on the mainland Of Asia, and this as
surance Is regarded In Washington, Ger
tainly by most Of the higher officials Of the
Government. as having been made In good
faith.
The European diplomat mentioned ex-
pressed the opinion that II Russia persisted
in opposing Japan she would endanger
her position in the family Of nations and
might become 30 feeble az government
as to be forced out Of the concert of the
Powers. Every Japanese victory from
now on, 1t was asserted, would mean an
increase in the internal troubles which
Russia is now experiencing, and these
troubles would aid In bringing the great
empire down to the position Of q second
class nation.
There are indications already OF a move
ment in favor Of having the peace negotia-
tions between Russia and Japan conducted
and concluded in Washin gton. Some Of
the prominent members Of the Dplnmatio
Corps are taken with this idea and will
work to see 1t accomplished a. soon as the
first definite move toward peace has been
made.
THINKS RUSSIA CANNOT 90 ON.
An officer Of the Government, high in the
confidence OF the President, thoroughly
familiar with international affairs and cog
infant Of every diplomatic move that has
been made throughout the war, said to-day:
Russia cannot 60 on. Beaten on every
side on land and sea, 1t Is apparently i'm
possible for Russia to continue the war at
will surely result. Pressure will probably
be soon brought from France, especially
from the financiers who have been lending
money to Russia. II after the battle Of
Mukden Russia had such great difficulty
in securing money, 1t will undoubtedly be
much harder to get cash now that the Baltic
feet is gone.
1T Is true that Russia kept on fighting
when Port Arthur fell, and when all hope
seemed gone. but the Baltic fleet has been
a menace to Japan ever since 1t started
from Russia. Now that it has been put
out of the way, it seems that the war is
about over. am sure that all the world
is thankful.
-The Japanese feet now has nothing to
do except to stand of Vladivostok The

vostok should be easy for the Japanese.

From The SUN Correspond cnt at ST. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG, May so.-Despite the
outlook left to the war party by the re-
moval of Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet, 1t
remains evident that the Government finds
it moro difficult to make peace than war.
A ukase already existing was withheld
until it was seen how Admiral Rojeet-
vensky's exploit would end. The Car met
the Imperial Council to-day, and 1t is ex-
pected that the ukase will now be issued,
summoning a national zemski sober, or
peoples assembly, upon which will be
thrown the responsibility for peace or war.
This Is now hopeless course, as it means
escape for the autocracy. The bad faith
Of the Government in canceling or shelving
all the reforms promised after the January
agitation Is 30 fragrant that any national
assembly, when convoked, is certain to post
pone the question Of war or peace until 1t
gets control of the machinery Of govern
ment Itself II Is equally certain that the
bureaucratic system will not take sub
ordinate position without most stubborn
fight.
Neither Of these great antagonistic forces
Is greatly concerned about the Cars mill
tary humiiations.
DEEP EMOTION m ST. PETERSBURG.
The approximate scope Of the Russian
defeat was published here this afternoon,
and evoked deep emotion everywhere. The
estrangement between the Government and
people limits the grief strictly to sympathy
for the defeated crews as men Of the same
race and language.
1t is In the circles that have hitherto
scarcely felt the weight Of the war that
the effects of this disaster are appearing.
For the first time since the war. society
and the encourage OF the court are struck
heavily. The defeats Of the army carried
grief mostly to the families of the pro-
yincial land owners, but in the last Pacific
fleet many of the officers belonged to lead
ing st. Petersburg families. The Emperor
Alexander III. was Differed entirely from
the Imperial Naval Guard, to which nomna-
tons are made only by the Car personally.
GEAR CALLS CONFERENCE.
LONDON, May 3l.-A despatch to the
Standard from St. Petersburg states that
an extraordinary conference, composed
OF the Council OF Ministers, all the resident
Grand Dukes, the members of the Council
OF War, and other high advisers Of the Gar,
will be held at Tsarskoe-Selo Wednesday
to determine whether the war will be con-
tinued, and if so, how. If peace is resolved
upon, the conference will discuss the pro-
cedure to be adopted.

Japan Likely to Demand Those lnterncd
Lessons OF the Battle.

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-When japan
and Russia make peace, whether in
the near future OF months from
now, a new phase Of international law will
arise concerning the score or more Rus
sian warshps which are informed in neu
trail ports, principally along the Chinese
coast. Never before has case Of informed
vessel arisen, and 1t is the general opinion
In Washington that Japan will make de-
mand for all the Russian vessels which
Togo has forced to find refuge in neut raj
harbors. The value Of these vessels will
arise into the millions Of dollars, and japan
will undoubtedly insist upon taking them.
There are twenty transports, colliers and
small craft around Shanghai, destroyeH
in half dozen Chinese ports and cruisers
at Cheefoo, Shanghai and Saigon. The
cruiser Lena is int erned at San Francisco,
II Japan obtains these vessels her fleet
at the end OF the war will be one Of the largest
in the world.
In the opinion Of many naval officers
in Washington the Japanese navy is stronger
to-day than any other in the world While
it is not equal to some navies in battery
power, the lack Of strength on this score is
more than balanced by the experience Of
the personnel and its courage and ability
to handle the guns and vessels. The same
condition exists with Japan to-day which
existed for few months after the Spanish
war, when the United States had n strong
NAVY, in excellent fighting condition, alert
and in state OF complete preparedness.
When all the details of the enga cement
In the Corean Straits become known 1t is
probable that many changes OF policy and
plans will be made In the navies of the
various Powers. Admiral Togo Is known
to have bad . number Of submarines IN
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1905-05-31

his fleet. and the engagement OF Saturday
and Sunday was the first time the sub
marine has ever had an opportunity to show
what 1t could do under actual war condi-
tons. Experiments made with these YES
sells indicate that they are terribly effective
under certain conditions, but the mechanism
Of the submarine Is complex and the con-
ditions required for successful maneuvering
are such that there has always been a great
doubt in the minds OF naval experts
whether without certain amount of luck
It would be possible to use submarines
to an advantage In an actual conflict. Ad-
miral Togo had an admirable chance to
use submarines, being a comparatively
short distance from his base and from land.
Naval officers here, who are about evenly
divided as to the question Of the relative
strength and value Of battleships and tor
pedo boats, await the details OF the fight
with great interest.
The data which will be acquired from
the engagement will have their effect on
the building policy Of the American Navy
Department. Soon after the engagement
before Port Arthur, when the Japanese
torpedo boat 1otilla destroyed several
Of the large Russian warships, there was
decided reversal Of sentiment among
many naval experts concerning the COM
parative values Of battleships and the
little torpedo craft. At the last session Of
Congress, when the Naval Appropriation
bill was up, arguments were made in the
committee rooms that money should not
be appropriated for battleships on account
Of the showing made against craft Of this
class by the Japanese torpedo boats. It
was argued that the United States should
not spend money on expensive battleships
when 1t had been shown that they we're
such easy prey for torpedo boats The
General Board OF the Navy Is in favor
Of more battleships.

Destroyer Also Gets There.
Special Cable Despatch to- THE SUN
ST.. PETERSBURG, May 30.-Gen. Linie-
witch, the Russian commander In CHIEF
in Manchuria, reports that the cruiser
Almaz arrived at Vladivostok on Monday.
Her commander reported that during the
day battle on Saturday the Kniaz Suvarof,
Borodino and Osliabya were sunk, and
the Orel and Alexander III. damaged.
Admiral Rojestvensky was wounded at
the beginning of the battle and was removed
10 another vessel After the Anaz separated
from the fleet the battle was resumed after
dark. The Almaz was once cut on by the
Japanese, but succeeded In oreaKin
through, losing a lieutenant and four sail
ors killed and ten men wounded.
Previous to this report the Admiralty had
announced that the Amaz was In wireless
communication with Vladivoetok. She had
sent word that she was approaching that
port and was safe from pursuit.
The Almaz's commander telegraphed
that he had not heard Of any other Russian
vessel surviving the battle.
He confirmed the report OF the sinking
Of the battleship Kniaz suvaroff, Admiral
Rojestvensky's flagship.
II was rumored here that the Captain OF
tbs Almaz reported to the Gar that Ad-
miral Rojest vensky had boarded torpedo
boat but Capt. Ziloti Of the Admiralty de-
Mod this. He also said that the Admiralt y
knew nothing about the condition Of the
Almaz.
The torpedo boat destroyer Grozny Is
also here. The Grozny, though engaged
for several hours in running fight at short
range with Japanese destroyer. shows
no sign of the fray.
After her commander, Capt. Andriffski,
had been wounded and an officer and three
men had been killed, the Grozny succeeded
in sinking her opponent with lucky shot
and reached Vladivostok without further
adventure.
A despatch to telegraph agency from
Shanghai says that news has been received
there that seven Japanese ships, two OF
which we're armored were sunk In the battle.

SpeetuI Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 30.-The British
Embassy has received no instructions about
the reported sinking of British steamer
by Admiral Rojestvensky. The American
Ambassador dropped the matter when it
was learned that it was not an American
vessel that was sunk
The Foreign Office says that II the event
really occurred the sinking was justifiable
If the vessel was likely to be the means Of
information reaching the enemy. In that
case the only duty was to save the crew
and indemnify the owners.
