Misleading Intelligence,
Poor Formation.
Result Was Greatest Naval Dis
lstef Known to History.
Everything, Even Tie Elements, Were Against
RojeshNlsb's Success.

Toxic. June 2.-Noon.-The cardinal
causes Of Rojestvensky's defeat have
been the subject Of general discussion
here. One japanese expert gives the
following analysis:
First, an imperfect reconnaissance
and incomplete. faulty and misleading
intelligence.
"Second-an imperfect battle forma-
ton. which indicated that Rojestven-
sky did not expect to meet Togo off
Tsushima.
Third, the weather, the direction of
the wind and the sunlight were unfa-
v0rable to the Russians. Togo having
the sun behind him and firing with the
wind, while the Russians had the SUM-
light In their eyes and fired against
the wind.
"Fourth-The Russians wasted their
ammunition and eventually ran short.
1t Is believed that the surrender of
Nebogatoff was necessary because his
ammunition had been expended.
'Fifth-The marked inferiority of
the Russian gunnery."
Some experts criticise Rojestvensky
for essaying the Tsushima channel.
Others uphold him, saying that his on
ly chance lay in going through that
channel. The impression prevails that
Rojestvensky was totally unaware of
the presence Of Togo's entire fleet off
Tsushima. Many believe that 1t was
necessary for Togo to take a station at
a pivotal point from which it would
be possible to intercept the Russians
entering either Tsushima. TsuGaru or
Soya channels. Calculations placed this
pivotal point on the west coast near
the western entrance of Tsugaru chan
mel TOgo's real whereabouts were
unOwn to many Japanese. but the Sc
cret was successfully guarded; another
example Of the Willingness and ability
of the Japanese to preserve military
secrets.
Leaving aside the question of pre-
paredness and superior conditions. the

must be taken into consideration.
Many ascribe the victory entirely to
the superior craftsmanship of the

a.. heavy wind blowing and the ships
rolling. When the hostile fleets met,
the superiority of the japanese imme-
diately became evident. The sinking or
battleships and armored cruisers by
shell fire testified to the deadly accu-
racy Of the japanese guns and de-
stroyers the theory that it is impossi-
bic to sink such ships by shell fire.
The attitude of Japanese navalmen
towards victory is curious. Togo's mes
sage to the Emperor saving that the
victory was the result Of the Emper-
or's superhuman influence strikes the
keynote of the navy's attitude. The
officers openly say that the marvellous
results obtained was impossible by
mere human achievement alone.

For Nebogatoff, Who Sur
rendered His Vessels.
Compared With Men Of the
Raphael in War Of 1923
Who Were Shot by Emperor Nicholas ! and
the Ship Later Destroyed.

ST Petersburg June 3.-u.35 A. MI.
Feeling in the admiralty against
Rear Admiral Nebogatoff continues to
run high the ma jority of the naval au-
thorities being difficult to please, and
insist that his action in surrenderlnE
his warships should not be condemned
until the circumstances become fuily
known. The majority say they could
fol give anything but surrender, and
point to the precedent set in tn" case
Of the Russian warsnir Raphael, which
in 1929. during tie Russo Turkish war
struck It's colors to three Turkish
ships which surl ounded 1t.
Nicholas | meted out a terrible pun
ishment to the officers and crew of the
Raphael, ordering that all should be
shot after their exchange and directing
that if the ship should ever be recap
tured its infamous history should be
plotted out by the total destruction of
The vessel. The Raphael. strange to
say was recaptured. "a years later at

son fell tn, task of executing the dead

naval authorities declare that the En-
peror should reserve the same fate for
Admiral Nebo%atotf.
While hope for the safety of the pro-
teoted cruisers OleS and Aurora has
been generally abandoned. some of the
naval authorities believe it possible
that their commanders realizing that
the fleet had been practically destroyed
and that Nladivostok as a harbor of
refuge would only prove q death trap
III the end, laid their course either for
Nicholtieft at the mouth of the Amur
river. or for PetropavlovSk in KAN

places to rcplenish the bunkers of the
cruisers.
The ships could then escape across
the Pacific and either he internpd in
the United States or return by way of

VENEZUELA PAYING UP.

Caracas. Venezuela Thursday, June l.
president Castro read his message t.
Congress- today. He said in part that
the Venezuelan government had MAIN
tanned good relations with foreign coun-
tries in the degree their respective rep

duly paid the allies the amounts per
emptoriIv demanded by them and had
then paid them 30 per cent. of the GUS

Puerto Cahcllo. When the claims of tbs,
allies had been paid. the 80 per cent
Of the customs duties Of la Guaira and
Puerto Cab'!lo would be devoted to the
payment of tn" claims of the other
power.
In regard to the debts of Venezuela.
other than the claims Of the previously
referred to, the government of Vene-
zlela. had twice sent Gen. Jose Antonio
Ncutini to Europe 20 make new ar

4 have the satisfaction to announce
that such arrangements have already
been made that the agree ments have
been signed and that the arrangement
relating to the DiSCont, Eank of Bcr-
lin has been ratified by the German
government. So soon as il is ratified
here Gen. Nslutini hop.S that the Brit
ISh government will ALSO ratify the new
arrangement made fo" the payment of
the British debt. I consider this mat
ter to have been definitely settled with
