RUSSIAN HOPES GONE.
Oft-Defeated Manchurian Army
Her Only Resource.
Nothing to Indicate Extent of Japanese
Losses-SpecuIation as to PossibiI
lty of Peace-President Renews His
Good Offices-Reports That Rojest
vensky Has Perished.

Latest advices confirm the magni
tude of the disaster suffered by the
Russian fleet and point to the fact
that Russia's hopes so far as this wal
Is concerned now lie in whatever may
be accomplished by the oft-beateD
army in Manchuria.
An official report received from To
kio by the Japanese legation at Wash
ington on Monday evening says thai
the Russian losses definitely known in
clude two battleships, coast defense
ship, five cruisers, two special ships
and three destroyers sunk, and two
battleships, two coast defense ships
one destroyer and one special service
ship captured, while over 5000 prio
oners have been taken, including Real
Admiral Nebogatoff.
The Japanese, it would seem, are
still pursuing the Russians and it may
be some time before the final result
Is known.
There is nothing to clearly indicate
the extent of the Japanese losses and II
Is suggested from one source that the
Toxic government is waiting to heal
from Admiral Rojestvensky by way OF
Vladivostok before announcing to what
extent its fleet has suffered.
The news of the disater has caused
deep depression in official Russia
though 1t Is not known generally
among the Russian people.
Rojestvensky's defeat has given rise
to renewed talk of peace. 1t is point
ed out by the st. Petersburg cores
pondent that Russia in this crisis will
turn to France through it's foreign min
lister, NJ. Delcasse, while from Wash
ington comes information that Presi
dent Roosevelt, in accordance with his
promise announced long time ago, is
taking steps to do all in his power tc
bring about peace negotiations.
Nothing has been heard from Ad
miral Rojestvensky. In Toxic there
is some belief that he has perished
while another source says he was res
cued by torpedo boat, but that he is
wounded.

FRENCH PUBLIC OPINION.
Seml-official Temps Says Russia Has
Played Her Last Card

Playeo Fer Last CARD.
Paris, May 30.-The magnitude of
the Russian naval disaster has fairly
stunned French public opinion, which
had hoped that late advices would
show that Japan had also suffered
some share of the losses. The dis.
aster is generally discussed. by of.
ficials, the public and the press in a
tone Of depression, the prevailing view
being that Russia now would be COM
PEELED to terminate the war.
The bourse first gave evidence of a
strong peace sentiment by the buoy
ancy of the market. The leading jour
nails, including the semi-offlcial Temps,
urged peace, declaring that Russia
had played her last card The Of
ficials, however, maintained 1t was too
early to foresee the effect until Rus
sia's side should be heard and fuller
details were available.
Some quarters were disposed to con.
slider the presence of Secretary Hay
as opportune, but those best posted
said that the secretary's health and
the regime that he is compelled to fol
low would preclude the possibility of
his taking an active hand, even if a
peace movement developed.
Moreover, France is on the eve of
a National demonstration of welcome
to King Alfonso who will arrive here
today, and this absorbs French official
attention owing to the importance at.
taching to the Anglo French-S
entente over Morocco.
1t was stated in diplomatic quarters
that, while the result of the battle
would contribute to eventual peace, It
dld not give any immediate prospect
of the opening of negotiations to that
end. 1t was pointed out that Russian
obstinacy would probably impel them
to turn their hopes toward Lieut.. Gen.
Linevitch and to await the result of
another land battle. 1t was said in this
connection that the land situation
would not be likely to permit Field
Marshal Oyama to strike another de-
cisive blow within two weeks, thus
prolonging Russia's hopes on land and
referring her willingness to ask for
beace.

EXTENT OF DISASTER.
Every One Of Reinforcing Fleet Struck
or Sent to Bottom.

st. Petersburg, May 80. - After
waiting vainly for direct news from
the scattered remnants of Vice Ad
miral Rojestvensky's destroyed and
beaten fleet, the Russian admiralty
no longer attempted to hold out
against the overwhelming evidence
pouring in from all directions, that
the fleet on which all their hopes were
centered, had suffered a greater dis
aster than did the combined French
and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar.
More bitter even than defeat is the
Japanese claim of the virtual annihila
tion of the Russian fleet with practi
cally no loss on their side, and many
officers cling doggedly to the belief
that Vice Admiral Togo must have
suffered heavily.
With every ship of Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff's reinforcing division eth
er sent to the bottom or forced to
strike its flag and only six of Rojest
vensky's original 16 fighting ships
absent from the list of vessels sunk OF
captured and with the Japanese pursuit
still continuing, no naval authority has
the temority to dream that Russia
can again attempt to wrest the mas
terry of the sea from Japan in the
present war
The captured warships alone will
furnish Japan with ready-made rein
forcements which will be more than
a match for the fourth Pacific squad
ron, now about to sail from Cronstadt
The emperor was completely pros
strated by the news and according
to reports, he broke down and wept
The effect of the disaster will be a
terrible blow to the government. The
futility of trying to stagger on on
land is everywhere recognized and the
cry for peace at any price" is sure to
be raised This time 1t is believed
the government cannot resist such a
cry. Indeed the Radical Liberals are
openly rejoicing in this hour of theil
country's humiliation. They declare
that the disaster means peace and q
constitution and that the deaths OF
thousands of their fellow countrymen
and the loss of over a hundred million
dollars worth of warships is not too
big price to pay.
The friends of peace in the govern.
ment are already reproaching the wal
party with forcing the issue between
Togo and Rojestvensky. When the
fleet appeared in the Straits of Mai.
acca they tried vainly to persuade the
emperor that the time was opportune
for the opening of peace negotiations,
but the war party convinced His Mai
esty, and Roiestvensky, for the honor
of the navy, insisted that the fleet
should be given a chance to retrieve |
the disasters. suffered on land
Diplomatists entertain no doubt
that the belligerent faction will con.
tinue to urge that the war be fought |
to the bitter end, but the friends OF |
Russia abroad, and especially France,
are now bringing overwhelming argu.
ments to bear in favor of peace.
