 Tokyo dispatches say that it is plan ! ned to bring the captured Russian bat tleship Orel to Yohosuka. where the | emperor will visit her
 A remarkable story is in circulation concerning the wounded on the Orel. | Ii is said that at the opening of the | fight 300 men were killed and wounded and that the groans and shrieks of the 1 wounded exercised so harmful an effect that it was decided 10 throw the nor ! tally wounded into the sea.
