says a Japanese commentator on the war.
When war with Russia became inevitable
and the Nava! Board at Toxic planned
out the opening surprise at Port Arthur
Togo was mentioned with half dozen other
Vice and Rear Admras for the supreme

chosen, mainly because he had made rcp,-

speech.
Yes, sir, said Togo when the Minister of
Marine had finished Every one waited for

salute and said nothing more.

backing Of mines and land batteries. 1t IL

boat attack OF Feb. 80 he so crippled the
Russian Port Arthur fleet that it had to re-
main bottled in the harbor for months.
Later he lured out the battleship Petro-
pavovsk. the best Russian vessel at Port
Arthur, and sunk her. When, in August.
the repaired Russian fleet sailed out and
tried to escape Togo met them in a fair
stand-up fight, scattered them and drove
damaged remnant back into Port Arthur,
to he pounded to pieces in the siege of the
city. In all these engagements he lost
only one battleship and one cruiser, which
were dccoyed over mine fields by the Rus
slams.

There was aboard an old valet Of the Ad-
miral, a feudal retainer Of his family. This
man, when he heard that the Admiral was
in place OF great danger broke all Jap
etiquette and rushsd to the gangway lead

The valet made rush and FRUSTRATED him
self before the Admiral, begging him, for
the good Of Japan. to go to the coming
tower. The Admiral with half amused
seriousness gave a kind refusal.
just then the 8-inch shell struck the chart
room and scattered the staff. A flying
splinter wounded the valet on both legs.
He was carried to the hospital, bowling
protests. From his cot he implored the
surgeons to carry the Admiral away by
force. Finally the deck officers surrounded
Togo and almost dragged him to the con-
ming tower. Togo laughed indulgently
as they locked him in.

soon. The American idea that Admiral
Togo was ying in ambush in an obscure

Many prominent Japanese were at the
new Japanese Club in Vest Eighty fifth
street last night, but they were celebrating
Togo's victory in a very quiet way. They
agreed with Mr.. Uchida who is member
of the club. that there would be plenty Of
time for fireworks and speeches when the
war was over. The sudden crushing Of
the Russian fleet was a surprise to most
of the members. They had expected
onger and harder fight,
The more humble Japanese Of New York,
whose domain is Cherry street, did not let

ness
Naturally, there was little cheer about
the Russian consulate in Broad street.
The Consul General, Nicolas Lody-
gensky, said he knew nothing more than
what he had read in the newspapers. Com
mander Boutakoff, naval attache of the
Russian Embassy in Washington, who
was visiting the Consul General, said that
Rojestvensky must have been caught in
fog, which gave the Japanese chance to
use their torpedo boats effectually.

This first-hand observer of the Japanese
fleet in action made note Of the perfect
GOODNESS which prevailed on board, the
outcome OF Togo's iron discipline. From
the Admiral down. they fought like clock
work, without excitement. without cheer
ing. Togo was bronze and blue statue.
A shell killed whole gun crew in the sec
ondary battery. The men at the next gun
were spattered with the blood Of their
comrades, yet they kept up their regular
fire without the loss Of second.
Togo has been a sick man all through
this war, 40 much so that his condition
has been a matter OF anxiety to the Navy
Department. When Port Arthur fell and
Russia had no sea power in the Far East
there was breathing spell, during which
the Admiral was ordered home for rest
and Instructions. The people of Toxic
planned big reception in his honor. Togo
declined.
"The war is not yet over he said
when We are through with the Russians
you may honor me-if live The Mkado,
however, gave him an audience and deco
rated him. With the approach of the
Baltic fleet he took command again. From
that time the world lost sight Of him. Never
was military secret so well kept as the
whereabouts of the japanese fleet during
Rojest vensky's voyage from Sumatrs to
Corea.
In person Togo is little-even smaller
than most Japanese-dried up, gray and

not royal. and il shows in the rather long
