May Be Forced TO ReIinquish Command
on the Eve of Battle.

ST. PETERSBURN, May livery
disquieting reports were in circulation
here to-day about Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky's health. 1t was said that he
had telegraphed to the Emperor that
It was impossible for him to proceed.
An evening paper printed a report that
that admiral had suffered a nervous
breakdown.
The admiral suffered from kidney
trouble before leaving Kronstadt and
throughout the long voyage to the Far
East he was so i'll at times that he had
70 be carried about on a stretcher; but
the Russian commande5 stuck bravely
10 his post. If he is now compelled on
the eve Of battle to give up his COM
mand the Admiralty would regard it as
little short Of a national misfortune.
Should Rojestvensky be compelled to
leave the feet the command would de-
volve upon Rear Admiral Voelkersam,
who is now with Rojestvensky.
