I1ONTON. May 2e.-The fate of Ad-
rniral ItaSestyensky is in doubt.
There were early rumors that his flag
ship, the battleship KniaZ Suvaroff. had
been sunk and that the admiral per-
ished when his ship went down.
Such a fate would be in accordance
with what is known Of the man. Before
he entered eastern waters he cabled the
Czar:
II I am victorious l shall inform
you If I am vanquished Togo Will in
form you.
This laconic dispatch was thought 10
mean that RogestVensky would choose
&c sink with his ship if defeat overlook
hlm AS no mention is made of his flag
ship in the list of vessels sunk or cap
tured as sent by Tokyo the belief now
obtains that the suYaron sought safety
In flight.
Under these circumstances it is possi-
bic. and even probable, that just before
entering into the battle Rogestyensky
changed his flag TO one OF the other
ships.
Eight Go Down to Death.
Eight OF Rogestvensky's captains
cEose a hero's death. They went down
Hith their ships. AS yet their names are
Tot available.
There is general feeling that this last
tremendous blow sustained by Russia
inevitably foreshadoWs an early peace.
The securities markets this morning re-
fected this view. displaying all around
buoyancy.
The great sea fight between the Rus
sian and japanese fleets has been fought
and victory rests with Japan. Details
of the fight are still FneaRer.
admiral Togo, the commander or thE
japanese feet, has not yet finished his
work and has not had time 10 make Il
detailed report. He is pursuing the rem
.nants Of the Russian armada, which &c
save themselves took 10 night.
