ship. five cruisers, two special ships,
three destroyers were sunk; two bat

above list. There are more than 1000
prisoners besides 1000 taken by the
main force Of the combined squadron.
The naval engagement is still In

ADMIRAL NEBoGATOFF A PRISONER
MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND

JAPANESE.

In the great naval battle fought Sat
Urday and Sunday in the straits of
Korea the Japanese obtained a COM
plete and overwhelming victory. Late

composed Of all his most effective and
powerful ships, was completely shat

nation two Russian battleships, one
coast defense armorclad, five cruisers,
two special service ships and three
destroyers were sunk and there were
captured two battleships, two coast
defense armorclads and one special
service ship.
Rojestvensky's flagship escaped bad

his broken feet is being pursued by
b victorious japanese. Rear Ad-
miral Nebogatoff, however, was cap
tured, with 5000 other prisoners. 1t
seems probable that in their crippled
condition other Russian vessels will
fall into the hands of the Japanese
before they can reach V%ladivostok.
While London rumors say that sew
eral Japanese vessels were lost Ad-
miral Togo officially reports that his
squadron was not damaged. A num-
Der of Russian vessels still remain
near Shanghai, but it is evident that
as a fighting force the great feet has
been destroyed.

Confident of Winning the Strike.
Over Seven Thousand Police and
Deputy Sheriffs Doing Guard Duty
and Protecting Nonunlon Men.
Chicago, May 29.-That the labor
unions are of the belief that the strife
between capital and labor will be a
long one was demonstrated at the
meeting of the Chicago Federation of
Labor during the day when arrange
ments were made for holding a strike
demonstration on July s. On this date
a monster parade of the strikers and
the affiliated unions will take place.
At the days meeting each union az
fliated with the central body was rep
resented by three delegates. The
strike situation was discussed in all
Its details and the sentiment of the
meeting was that the teamsters should
continue the fight until the even ex-
press companies offered some sort Of
q compromise. The officials of the ex-
press companies are still obdurate In
their declaration that no concessions
need be looked for from their side, SO
the matter of settlement through this
channel seems as remote as ever.
With over 1000 police and deputy
sheriffs detailed on strike duty, the
employers declare that during the pres
ent week they will be able to convince
the strikers that any further continual
ton of the fight will be suicidal to the
teamsters' union.
Conditions Nearly Normal.
"In the next few days we will have
all the help needed to get business
back to a normal basis" said Superin-
tendent Reed Of the Employers Team
ing association. During the past
week we secured over $500 drivers
from cities and towns outside of Chi
cago and there are several hundred
more en- route. Three hundred of
these men T expected to arrive here
in the morning from the northern part
of Wisconsin and Minnesota. They
are principally lumbermen and river
drivers and will be assigned to the
lumbermen's association. With the
$50 drivers already engaged by the
lumbermen this additional force will
put the lumbermen in fairly good
shape again.
1.-THE State street stores and the
other business houses that became in
volved in the trouble at the beginning
have practically enough men to handle
all their wagons, so it is only a ques-
ton of police protection that concerns
us now"
In the lumber district, which is
feared than any other part of
the city, many of the saloons. which
have been made the headquarters Of
the striking teamsters, were closed
Sunday by the order of Mayor Dunno.
Police kept crowds from congregating
on the streets.
