Alarmist rumors are afloat as to the

Persistent but unconfirmed rumors
are in circulation to the effect that the

at Vladivostok and private messages
from that vessel are said to have been
received by the relatives of her officers

URUI RAKED THE LINE
Kamimura Deliberately Allowed the
Russians to Pass Him

Special Gable to The Herald.
TOXIC, May 31.-Unofficial reports
state that the Asahi suffered most of
any of the japanese battleships. She
was more often hit and had the heavi-
est losses, but she did not leave the
fighting line.
AS if with deliberate purpose, Vice
Admiral Kamimura was sent south
ward at the beginning of the battle
with a comparatively small squadron
and he allowed the Russian ships to
pass him. Then Vice Admiral Urui
broke in upon them from Xxi island
and passed across the head of their
line, raking them severely again and
again.
1t is remarkable coincidence that
the waters in which the battle opened
were those where a year ago the Jap
anese transport Hitachi Maru was sunk
with the troops aboard of her by Vladi-
voStok cruisers.
1t is positively asserted that subma-
rines were used for the first time in his
tory. The submarines, theoretically,
cannot be used in rough sea, but on
the night of May 2S the sea was calm
and the water clear.
The Vladimir Monomach hoisted
white flag during the battle and with
160 of her crew surrendered to the gar
rison of Tsushima.
A warrant officer of the Kamtchatka
states that the fleet consisted of thir-
ty-siX ships. The Kamtchatka was
badly hit early in the fight and the
steering gear disabled. She could only
go round and round, and while in this
condition she was hit by a shell and her
engines were completely disabled. Fif-
ty-siX of the crew hurriedly lowered
boats and embarked. They had hardly
done so when the Kamtchatka lurched.
her bows rose in the air and she sunk
with a tremendous roar.
The captain was killed and three Of
flcers drowned. Two officers were
wounded and the fate of two other
officers is uncertain.
While in one of the Kamtchatka's
boats warrant officer saw the IAN
anese close round three Russian hat
tleships. These latter were sinking
steadily and the torpedoes appeared 10
be exploding all about them.

DECIDES AGAINST
UNION TRANSFERS
JUDGE RULES FEDERAL COURT
HAS JURISDICTION
SHEA ON THE WITNESS STAND
Labor Leaders viii Try to Secure In

and Chief Of Detectives
Buckminster
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO. May 31.-Judge Kohlsaat
today decided that the federal courts
have jurisdiction over the bills for in
functions brought by the express COM
panies against the striking teamsters
The attorneys for the teamsters de-
MED that the federal court has juris-
diction over such bills, basing their
contention on the declaration that the
interstate commerce.
President Shea of the Teamsters'
union appeared before the grand jury
and was questioned for two hours.
He told the story of the working of the
International and local Teamsters'
unions. When questioned as to his
knowledge of blacklist maintained by
the express companies against the
teamsters he was unable to tell any
thing definite.
President Shea was also asked re-
garding conferences between labor lead
ers and employers but in this direction
his evidence was unmportant. He de-
MED any conspiracy on the part of the
leabor leaders and insists that much
of the trouble that had taken place in
the city streets had been caused by
private detectives and other represent
atives of the Employers association
for the purpose of exciting sympathy
against the strikers.
1t was announced tonight that cer-
tain of the labor leaders will tomorrow
present affidayits to the grand jury de-
claring that Attorney Mayer of the En-
ployers' associa tion and Chief Detec-
tive Buckminster, who has acted for
the same organization, are responsible
for all the murders committed in con-
nection with the strike. They will
also endeavor to secure indictments
of the officials of the Employers
Teaming company for importing men
from other cities under false pretenses.
The strike today was, contrary to
general expectation, very quiet, no
riots worthy of the name having taken
place in any part of the city. There
were a few fight but in none of them
was anybody seriously injured.
