stories told at a gathering Of lawyers
on his last visit to this country related
to a Texas judge before whom a pris-

his lawyer interrupted.

The first detailed stories Of the
sinking of the Russian flagship and
the capture OF Admiral Roiestvensky
have been obtained from Japanese Of
ficers. The captain OF the torpedo
boat destroyer Murasama, which at
tackled the flagship. said:
at daybreak Of May 27 we re-
ceiTed a wireless message Of warning
that the enemy's feet was approach
ing and had arrived near Quelpart Is
land. The carrying out Of our precon-
certed plan then began. Our duty
was to guard a certain roadstead. The
main strength of the third squadron
and a destroyer fotilla to which we
were attached enticed the enemy to
the waters Of Xxi and then checked
him north toward Genkainada.
Russians Fall Upon Deeoy.
Our feet, headed by the Matsus-
hima, opened fire from a certain con-
ceaied place which the Russian guns
could not possibly reach. We merely
threatened them. and they, without
suspecting. promptly returned the
IRE. At this juncture the Japanese
main feet pressed the enemy from
the north and the great battle began.
MY destroyer was in a position
outside the battle circle. watching the
movements Of the Russians, whose
firing was lamentabIe. Many Of their
shells passed over the japanese fleet
and dropped in the waters beyond.
One OF these, having missed its real
object, hit as astern.
AT the same time the order came
to US to attack the enemy's flagship,
the Kniaz Souvaroft We dashed
through the heavy seas toward the
enemy's ship TO within a distance OF
400 meters, when we fired our first
torpedo, a fsh-shaped 1S-inch White
head. We saw it strike the Kniaz
Souvaron astern and soon realized
that It had smashed her steering gear.

when we fired our second torpedo.
1t struck the engine compartment
and the flagship Immediately listed
nearly to the waters edge.
Meanwhile the cannonading OF the
whole of the Japanese feet, as If con-
trolled by one automatic switch. was
concentrated upon the crowd Of Of
fcers and men standing beneath the
solitary mast, and within few sec
onds they were scattered into frag-
ments in the air like dry leaves be-
fore the wind.
Almost simultaneously the flagship

The circumstances under which Ad-
miral Rojestvensky was captured are
related as follows:
The Russian commander was at first
on board his fighting ship, the Kniaz
Souvaroff From the beginning of the
battle on May q he fought with mag
nifcent courage, but on May 2s his
flagship became separated from the
remainder Of the feet. 1t was isolated,
but kept on firing all its guns one bat

odds.
For a time she was the solitary tar
get Of the Japanese feet Shells
swept her decks like a cyclone and It
was soon evident she must speedily
sink. Therefore the admiral. with

to the destroyer Biedovy.

Waters Alive With slsvs.
The waters were alive with Russian
seamen desperately striving to make
land in small boats or clinging TO
masses OF wreckage. Small merchant
men and pleasure ships went out TO
pick up all the survivors they could
find. They rescued several hundred
men. many wounded, and all in a state
