they answer with polite excuse and
winning smile. Upon one thing they
all agree and that Is the generalship
of Kuropatkin. They point out the
fact that with an army greatly inferi-
or to MS opponents he has fought
retreating fight In a mastery manner,
and they were quite confident that he
has done all the retreating he's going
to do curing this war. The idea that
the japanese may enter Mukden is for
them an impossibility.
The captain Of the Sevastopol has
one complaint to make against the
japanese. They don't know when they
are beaten, They prefer death to sur
render and their patriotism, Captain
Won Essen holds, is bordering upon
fanaticism. He asserts that the Japan
csc feet has suffered more than the
Japanese Government would have the
world believe, and that he personally
took part in the complete destruction
of four OF their torpedo boats.
The Russion officers speak highly Of
the treatment they received at the
hands of the Japanese and freely ad-
nit that they didn't know the true
character of the little brown men I'M
til they had come into personal con-
tact with them.
Referring to the last disastrous en-
counter between the japanese and Rus
sian fleets Captain Won Essen spoke
thus; 1T really was not fight. II
we except the torpedo boats, which
did us so much damage under the COW
er OF darkness, we never had chance
to have an open and fair fight. The
japanese, with their superior guns,
were able to keep out of range of our
fire at the same time keeping up a
continual and deadly firing at us, Our
men fought bravely and heroically.
