Battlsshlp OTeI Shows CTaH
Underwent Terrible Ordeal
Before Surrender.

Toxic, June IA correspondent
OF the Associated Press has been per-
mitted to inspect the Russian battle
ship Orel, now lying at Msizuru. The
0rel received a terrible battering.
Her hull shows by the gasping holes
pierced by the big shells and many
smaller where she had been bit while
the superstructure, her upper works
and upper decks we're riddled by
shells, fragments andsplinters.
The starboard forward II inch
gun was smashed 10 feet from the
muzzle, either by a shell or by exploe.
ion. A fragment Of the gun went
over the bridge, smashing the rail,
and after carrying away the breech
Of a II FOUNDER, buried itself in the
signal locker.
From the main deck upward the
condition OF the vessel was terrible to
behold. The steel partitions were
smashed, the gangway was broken,
and stanchions wrecked. Gear Of
various kinds covered the decks, and
the state OF alleyways shows that
the ship was sfire several times. The
mark OF the flames increased the
scene OF desolation.
The main armor belt Is intact. The
turret armor generally withstood
the battering from shells, although
two OF the G inch turrets were render
ed unserviceable by shots which
struck close to their base. Several
smaller guns were dismounted and
smashed.
A grewsome sight was a bulkhead
covered with blood, fragments OF
flesh and hair.
The Orel Is sound, structurally, al
though it will be necessary to prac.
tically reconstruct her from the wa.
ter line up. The condition OF the
ship sows that the crew underwent Q
terrible ordeal before they surrender

TORPEDO BOATS
THREW RUSSIANS
INTO PANIC.
Officers at Manila Tell How
Togo Took Fight Out Of
Them.

Manila, June 12-From stories told
by she Russians who escaped from
the sea fight in the Korean straits,
it's appears that the Japanese CON-
pletely surprised the Russian fleet.
The Russians were steaming peace
fully along, There was no sign OF the
Japanese Il iet, and the Russian ships
were not cleared for action, nor were
the batteries manned. The attack
came with a suddenness that made
the unpreparedness of the Russians
for battle a glaring mistake that
never could be corrected.
Two lines OF torpedo boats sud
denly appeared and encircled the
Russian fleet. The rapid fire batter.
les we're turned loose, but with ap-
parently little effect on the Japanese
boats. Over the approaching tor
pedo boats came a hail OF 10 and 13
inch shells from the Japanese war
vessels in the distance. The torpedo
boats advanced at full speed, one
division going in a westerly and an.
other in an easterly direction. The
Russian cruisers and battle ships pre-
pared to repel the attack. Thee
ers manned their port batteries and
the battle ships their starboard bat
teries. No attempt was made to pre-
pare the batteries on the other SIDE
OF the ships, and it was here the Rus
slams blundered. When the Japanese
torpedo boats came within firing dis.
tance the Russians opened fire.
Then it was the japanese executed
a maneuver that threw the Russians
into confusion. The two encircling
lines met south OF the Russians, but,
instead OF continuing in that direc
tion, they turned, at a signal from
Togo, and at full speed charged be-
tween the three lines Of Russian
ships, one division passing between
the cruisers and the line OF hospital
ships and transports and another
division passing between the trans.
ports and the battle ships on the
other side. The Russian ships were
unprepared for an attack OF this
character, and for a time were help.
less against the discharge oiJapanese
torpedoes. Hardly a cruiser OF bat
tie ship remained unscathed. The
Russians were completely demorallz
ed, and during the last dash OF the
torpedo boats not a shot was fired
to stop them. In the meantime,
Togo, with his battle ships and cruis.
ers, encircled the Russian fleet, and
with his big guns completed the
work OF destruction.

 Ninety men will be employed in the early part of the present week and the work of putting in place the foundations for the gigantic structure will be rapidly accomplished. Contractor J. w. Goff who Is in charge of the work. ordered the first ground broken this morning. and from now until the new furnace Is ready for its first feed" of iron ore the work will be pushed.
 The new furnace will have an average output of 125 tons per day. It will cost complete $100000, and will be equipped with skip-hoist, new boilers, new blow ing engine and complete system of bins for raw material.
 J. L. Bowling the veteran furnace builder of the south, who recently com pleted the new 25O-ton furnace at Bat telle Ala had the supervision of the intricate plans for the new furnace
 A large force of men will be employed during the building of the furnace and the full complement of skilled furnace workers will be installed soon as 1t is completed.
 C. E. Buck, who was principal stock holder in the old Chattanooga Furnace company, will own the controlling stock in the present company. MT. Buck is president of the Iacey-Buek Iron com pany of Birmingham, and his success with his plant at Trussville proves that he Is one of the shrewdest iron men in the south. The Trussvllle furnace has been in operation during the past eighteen months and has made an enviable record in the matter of tonnage and the per centage of high grade iron among south ern furnaces.
 The fact that this furnace is to be built tends to prove that Chattanooga is becoming recognized as an iron center The stockholders of the ne7y company are experienced and skillful iron men and are aware of the advantages of this city and section from an iron standpoint.
