HOPES RISING IN LONDON.
Diplom,ots Pleased sgith Peace Pros
pects-Mr. Reds Busy Week.

London June 9.-Much satisfaction is ex-
pressed in official and diplomatic circles here at
the apparent success of President Roosevelt IN
bringing Russia and Japan together for the pur-
pose of ending the war. Since his arrival here'
Whitelaw Reid the American Ambassador has
been in close and frequent communication with
the Foreign Office. The Ambassador is not will
ing at the present juncture to disclose the result
of his visits. but apparently he is well pleased
with the progress of the negotiations as after a
busy week socially and officially the Ambassador
and Mrs. Reid and Miss Reid will leave London
tomorrow to spend the weekend with Earl
Egerton of Tatton and his wife, the Duchess of
Buckingham and Chandos. widow of the third
duke at Tatton Park. Knutsford, Cheshire. The
other embassies are without any information
regarding peace
Russian official circles think that peace
Is probable, or at least that a cessation Of hos
tilities is pending in an endeavor to bring about
a meeting of representatives of the two powers.
It is pointed out in these circles that from the
first Russia declared her preference for negotiat-
ing with Japan direct, and President Roosevelt,
apparently, is acting on that line in arranging
prelirninaries for direct negotiations between
Japan and Russia.

ASKED TO BE TRUSTEE.
Dir. Ryan's Letter to Ec-President
CLeUeLand.

The letter of Thomas F. Ryan to ex-President
Grover Cleveland, telling him of his purchase
of a majority of the Hyde stock and asking him
to be a trustee dated yesterday. was follows:
You may be aware that bitter controversy ex-
lists regarding the management Of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society. and that public confidence
has been shaken in the safety of the fund under
the control of a single block of stock left by the
late Henry B. Hyde This loss of confidence af-
representing the savings OF over six hundred thou
sand policyholders, and the present condition
amounts to public misfortune
In the hope of putting an END TO this condition
and in connection with change the executive
management of the society, have, together with
other policyholders purchased this block of stock
and propose to put it in the hands of a board of
trustees having no connection with Wall Street,
with power to vote It the election of directors
as 10 twenty-eight of the hfty-two directors, in
accordance with the instructions of the policy
holders of the society and as to the remaining
twenty-four directors. in accordance with the un-
controlled Judgment of the trustees.
This division of twenty-eight and twenty-four is
in accordance with a plan of giving substantial
control to policyhoiders, already approved by the
Superintendent of Insurance. ,

gentlemen who shall be of a character entirely
satisfactory to you.

be great public service, and this view emboldens
to make the request.

ENOUIST MAKES REPORT.
Russians OutnanoeuUred- orts to
Escape Fruitless.

st. Petersburg, June 10.-The Emperor has re-
ceived long telegram from Rear Admiral En-
qust, dated Manila. June 5, describing that
part of the battle of the Sea of Japan May
q which took place between Tsu Island and
Kotsu Island. Admiral Enquist says
There clear sky. with a fresh south
wind and a very foggy horizon A Japanese
squadron appeared at 1:45 p. m. to the north
and engaged us i'll a tactical conflict, not per-
mitting us to pass them in the direction OF
VladiVostok. Every time squadron turned
toward the north the superior speed of the Jap
anese enabled them to outstrip us, while at the
same time they concentrated their fire on our
leading battleships. The Japanese squadron con-
sisted of nine battleships and cruisers, and the
japanese battleship Chinyen manoeuvred sepa-
rately, trying to take our ships between two
fires.
These tactics continued throughout the battle
and greatly hampered our transports.
Fifty minutes after the opening of the battle
our battleship Oslyabya was sunk and the
battleship Borodino disabled Soon after
ward the battleship Kniaz Souvaroff was on fire.
losing her masts and tunnels and becoming dis
abled.
Our squadron turned to protect the Kniaz
Souvarof. but the Borodino resumed her place
IN the column, which was now headed by the
batteship Alexander III
The japanese tactics compelled our squadron
to move in circle around the transports and
torpedo boats. while the japanese moved In an
exterior circle. Owing to the inferior speed of
our vessels it was difficult to escape this posi-
ton, but before sunset our squadron resumed its
voyage to the northward
At this time one of our TORPEDO boats near
the Kniaz Souvaron hoisted a signal that the
command had been transferred to Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff. The Alexander III then left the
column severely damaged.
The Borodino, which was then at the head of
the column. received the enemy's concentrated
fire, and at sunset sank.
Perceiving the number of Japanese torpedo
boats engaged in the action. the squadron which
had now lost the Knaz Souvaroff, the Borodino
the Oslyabya, the Kamtchatka and the Russ
turned to the southwark.

anese projectiles With the coming of night the
japanese torpedo boat attacks began, the results
of which l am unable to report, owing to my
inability to distinguish between the Russian and
Japanese vessels.
Several times L endeavored to escape to the
northward but was always reattacked and was
