Russian Fleet Destroyed.

The long looked for naval battle be-
tween the Russian fleet, under Ad-
miral Rojestyensky, and the japanese
squadron, commanded by Admiral
Togo, took place off the coast of Japan
Saturday and Sunday and the Russian
fleet was almost completely annihil-
ated. Out Of a feet Of twenty eight
fighting ships the japanese sunk nine
teen, captured four and the fate of the
others are at present unknown. The
japanese loss was remark ably small,
only three torpedo boats having been
lost and about two hundred men killed
and wounded. The Russian loss in
killed and wounded is not known, but
is estimated at seven thousand, while
about three thousand more were cap
tured BY the japanese, among the cap
tured being Admiral Rojestvensky,
who was severely wounded and who is
now in japanese hospital.
Just what Tsussia's acourse viii be
now is had to foretell, but il is difficult
for as tb see how they can con-
time the war with any hopes of bring
ing 1t to a successful termination.
The japanese have out Unanswered
and out-fought them in every battle, on
land as we'll as on sea, and it would
seem but a useless waste OF life and
property for the Russians to continue
fighting under the circumstances.

JUST WALKED AWAY
St. Johns Easy Mark For
A. M. Boys.
In One Sided Game the Carolina
Cadets Defeat the Visitors
BY Ten 10
One.

1t was an easy victory for the A.
& NJ ball team yesterday over the
st. Johns team. from Annapolis, Nd,
the score being ten to one in favor
of the \. e NJ team.
The game was lively only in the
hauling in of the ten runs in the first
three innings-4-3-3, and in the furry
caused when Umpire Brenig threat
ened to quit umpiring and partly left
the field. because of cries of disap-
prevail and Lavals expressed disap-
probation at his decision in calling a
St. Johns runner safe at home.
The single run made by the visitors
was in the eighth inning. With one
down there was a runner who had
scooted from first to third on a wild
pitch. The next man up flew in centre
but Harris nut the ball home in time
10 keep the runner at third. The ball
reached Hadley nearly on the ground
and bounded away. Laval was at the
home plate and the ball was thrown
to him from near third where it
had bounded. in order to catch the
runner, who was sprinting for home,
but on 4 close decision he was called
safe. That's where the kick came in.
While the game was rather a Dor
ing one, owing TO the lead of A. & M,
yet that team put up a rafting good
game, Laval doing star work as the
pitcher. holding St. John down to four
scattered hits. The a. & NJ. boys
started in to win and by the end of
the second it was seen that they had
cinch, as by this time they had
Knocked Duvall out of the box, Staley
replacing him. In the third three
runs were made off of him. but in the
next five innings A. & M. made no
runs, and did not need to play the
ninth
1t is correct to say that the home
team put uD one of its best games,
robbing the visitors of hits, working
the squeeze" play very successfully
twice, and doing beautiful base run
ming.
The star for y. & NJ. was Bowen,
who took everything that came his
way, and getting hits out of 6 times
at bat; while st. Johns star was UNI
