NO WORD FROM FLEET
Gloom IN Russia SQuadron8 Still
BeReUed DiJided.

ST. Petersburg. May 29.-At I o'clock this
evening Admiral Wirenius. chief Of the general
staff OF the navy. authorized a denial Of the
statements that the government had received
official advices regarding the naval battle fought
in the Strait of Corea The staff does not ex-
pect any news from Vladivostok until to-mor-
row.
In diplomatic circles generally the belief is
held that if Rojestvenskys defeat is COM
plete as reported, it is sure to be followed by
renewed efforts TO bring about peace.
Al the Admiralty this morning the general
impression produced by the cable messages from
Toxic was extremely gloomy. While Admiral
RojestYensky was expected to pay the price for
reaching his haven at Vladivostok the complete
loss of two OF his four best battleships. besides
several other warships and heavy damage TO
other ships, is admitted TO spell disaster, unless
the japanese suffered correspondingly. The Adj
miralty believed that wireless communication
with Nladivostok might be established this af
ternoon or tonight. but all dispatches must
first go TO the Emperor no news is likely 10
reach the public until tomorrow
1t is a matter of general comment that the
most definite information received up 10 the
time the official announcement was sent out

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S VIEWS.
BeIieUes Togo Struck PosperfuI
Bloc for Peace.

Washington, May 29-Admral Dewey to-
night expressed the belief that Admiral Togo
had struck powerful blow for peace. 1T is the
beginning Of the end" he said. and I can see
no other outcome than that Russia will sue for
peace The advices so far seem to show that the
japanese achieved their victory by hurting tor
pedo boats against the Russians. 1t is not to
ships would surrender TO the torpedo boats
alone. Admiral Tcgo's training and the pre-
paredness throughout his fleet I am convinced
are responsible for his stupendous victory If
some of the Russian ships escaped wee still have
the record for the victories at Manila and
Santiago were complete In that all of the ships
of the enemy We're either destroyed or taken"
Admiral Dewey spent part of to-day at the
Offices Of the General Board of the Navy study
ing The maps of the theatre of war and exam
ming the dispatches as they came into the Office
Of Naval Intelligence, He discussed the Jap
anese victory with many other naval officers
going over the details Of the fight carefully
It takes q Ions time TO build a fleet" he said
10 one CT the officers. and l cannot see how
Russia is now in position TO continue her cam
paign by sea. Japan, with the additional bat
teships captured by her and with the Russian
ships sunk at Port Arthur, which she will
doubtless be able to restore TO usefulness now
appears to have the preponderating sea power"
At the next meeting of the General Board il
is expected that Admiral Dewey will lead a dis
cussion on the technical features of the battle

We had confidence he would not be so badly
he would be, but at the same time were not
entirely free from anxiety concerning the out

we feel quite easy in our minds, and the re-
nailder seems easy.
Whether this fight will prove a step in the
direction OF peace We cannot judge. Outsiders
cannot express opinion of any value on this
point. The question must be regarded from
the Russian standpoint One thing is certain

a century ago this year.
AT a late hour this evening Baron Hayashi

Cincinnati May 29-Secretary Taft after a
week of speechmaking, left here at noon to-day
for Washington.
1t appears the Japs have won very sub
stantial victory" said Secretary Taft before
leaving But it is always interesting to note
how often facts differ from the first reports.
After the excitement is over it will be found that
there are some Russians left. -t., g. 4-z
Il have had 10 news from Washington as TO
the battle" he said. There would be no oc-
casion to repeat a message to me. see by the
press dispatches that the state Department has
heard of the battle, but do not expect to re-
ceive any messages.
Concerning the effect of his contemplated visit
to the Philippines in June and his touching ar
Japan, he said:
You see it is only the natural course TO stop
at Yokohama en- route to the Philippines. II IS
a regular point. l shall not make the trip
simply to visit the MikadO or any other officials
of the japanese nation. But on the way to the
Philippines / shall call on the Japanese state

BRITAIN HALLS VICTORY
This Mornings Comment ON Russia S
Loss of the Sea. r--.-

London, May 30-The naval battle between
the fleets of Togo and Rojestvensky strikes the
Imagination of the British public with far
greater force than any of the military operations.
Hence Togo's victory -arouses far more intense
interest here than any other incident of the war,
and is greeted by the newspapers and the people
with great jubilation. E2verywhere il is being
compared with Trafalgar and Aboukir The
Daily Telegraph" says:
Togo has won the Trafalgar of the Far East
sons year.
The same editorial adds:
The battles of Manila Bay and Santiago did
not cost the Americans a single ship and, in
deed; hardly a single life and it would, therefore
not be surprising to find that Togo had gained
relatively bOodiess victory
In varying strains of eulogy all the morning
papers pay tribute to Admiral Togo's extraor-
binary success. They say that the sun has set
on Russa's naval glory, and comment on the
possibilities of peace The general opinion is
that it would be criminal for the Emperor of
Russia to continue the war, but serious doubts
are expressed whether even Saturdays disaster
will convince the war party in St. Petersburg
Of the hopclessness of a further struggle. The
belief scents to prevail that it viii rather harden
the hearts of the war advocates to persevere to
the bitter end.
Naval experts mostly hold 10 the opinion that
the greatest damage was done by the Japanese
destroyers. It is said that Togo was prepared
to sacrifice practically the whole Of his mos
quito fotHa if he could thereby destroy Ro-
jcstvenskys battleships and armored cruisers.
The surrender of several of the Russian yes
sells is regarded as proving the complete demon
alization of Rojestvenslzy's men, and it is fully
expected that further captures will be made
before the remnant of his ships reaches Vladt-
vostOk.
