STORY OF FIGHT.
Russian Admiral Tells How 1t Was
Carried Out.

London, June 1.-The Daily Mails
Toxic correspondent says that the cap
tain of the Russian cruiser, Admiral
Nakhimoff who is now a prisoner, re-
lates the following story of the battle
between the Japanese and R,-.1sian fleets:
"We first saw the Japanese at six
o'clock on the morning of May 2T, when
suddenly and Unexpectedly we encouu-
tered the enemy's fleet as we were NOV
ing to the east of Tsu island, They
steamed toward us and opened fire.
Only 80 minutes after the firing com
menced a sudden shock was felt under
the Admiral Nakhimoff and she began
to sink with great rapidity. My belief
is that she struck mine or q torpedo.
Nv crew numbered 600 men, majority
Of whom went down in the ship as there
was no time to get the men on deck.
Myself and number of survivors
aided By life belts, swan to a small
launch and about ten o'clock in the
morning we went aboard fshboat.
All of the officers were sent to Shi-
monoseki.
"In the engagement fought off Liam
court rocks the Russian battleships were
surrounded by Japanese ships which cir
cled about them, pouring in a terrible
fire and they almost Immediately fell
into hopeless confusion. Seeing their
plight Vice Admiral Togo signalled from
the battleship Mikasa demand to know
whether the Russians were ready to sur
render. Our ships complied with the
demand" !"
Other accounts of the battle describe
the roar of the cannonade as so terrible
that houses were shaken at Yamauchi,
2s miles distant, and the people sup
posed it was an earthquake.
The Japanese fleet suffered little. The
battleship Asahi was oftenest hit and
suffered the heaviest loss, but did not
quit the firing line.

As the Day Of Execution Drew Nearer
Mary Rogers Showed Effects.

Windsor, June Although Superin-
tendent Lowell and the prison officials
did not really anticipate that the hang
ing would take place on Friday, every
preparation necessary was under way
for the carrying out OF the penalty
imposed by the court.
Superintendent Lowell Of the state
prison was first informed of the inten-
tion of Governor Bell to grant another
reprieye in the case BY a press represen-
tative. He decided, however, not to
inform Mrs. Rogers until he had receiy-
ed official notification from the proper
authorities.
The woman has never been told that
the supreme court Of the state refused
the application Of her counsel for a new
trial Superintendent Lowell expressed
his desire to tell Mrs. Rogers of the
further raprieye as soon as it VAS legal
" possible.
Mr.. Lowell said that, as the time OF
the arranged execution approached, Mrs
Rogers appeared to be suffering from
nervousness and the uncertainty and
doubt as to the result Of the steps which
had been taken to save her life.
