Admiral Togo Soothes
His Captured Wounded Foe

LONDON, June 5.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Tokyo correspondent, telegraph
Ing Sunday, says:
During yesterday and today I have
received from special correspondents at
the naval base of Sasebo the following
interesting series of kilograms describ-
ing many hitherto unrecorded incidents
of the battle Of the Sea Of japan. AS
before. all messages have come through
III Chinese characters, necGssitating
translation into English, and scnle addi-
tionai delay has been caused hy the fact
that earthquake shocks have interfered
with the telegraph lines.
THESE kilograms are of special inter
est. I may point out, because for the first
time in history they embody descrip-
lions of battle by naval officers actually
engaged in it. A dispatch from Sasebo
OF Friday says the officers Of the Japa-
nese destroyer Sasanami have given me
fuller details of the capture of Admiral
Rogestvensky. Their narrative is as
follows:
AT 10 o'clock on the morning OF May
Is we, together with a certain warship,
were ordered to search for remnants OF
the enemy We put on full steam and
darted here and there over the battle
waters
" EYentu3lly ahead OF US We saw Two
streaks OF smoke against the bright
horizon going at a speed OF twenty
knots. We steamed after the smoke.
and soon We discovered two OF the
enemy's destroyers cutting through the
water for all they were worth.
Opened Fire on Russians
AS we neared them we opened fire
from all our guns.

forged ahead. II was impossible TO
catch her and she escaped.

course and, moreover. did not return
our cannonading. We watched our lit
tie enemy carefully for some moments
and then saw sudden movement
aboard To the top of the mast ran a
white flag and astern futtered the
emblem OF the Red Cross
'' We signaied. What is your eondi-
f.on?"

then little signal flags appeared. We

The Second West Virginia District

tomorrow, when the special election for
the vacant seaC in Congress will be held
The candidates are the widely popular
Col Tom" Davis, of Keyser, brother
Of Henry Gassaway Davis, standing for
the Democratic hopefu1s, and James S.
Iakin, of Terra Alta, a Republican of
prominence, both of whom have been
straining every nerve to win out
Washington contains a large number
Of West Virginians who are Intensely in
terested in the outcome of this contest.
These men, according to their political
predictions, are anticipating with hope
or fear the news which will come from
their home State tomorrow night. IT
will mean prospective promotion in the
Government service for some of those
on the lucky side, OF course, and few
there are who do not find II easy to
put themselves in the light OF deserving
promotion.

the vote. Governor Dawson and Secre-
tary Of State SwisheT have both been

a secret dread of general apathy. for

Investment of vladivostok.
Especial Copyright Cabie.)

LONDON. June 5.-The next move in
the war game by Japan apparently is
10 he the investment OF Viadlvostok by
sea and land This is the opinion of
military experts in view OF the latest
news from the Far East.
II is not believed that the Russians
can hold the place with the same sue
cess they had at Pert Arthur. The nat
ural defenses are not nearly so good
and those which are artificial are not
so easily defended.
Oyana's movements and intentions
are still undeyeloped so far as the out
side World is concerned II is believed
that both armies are west of the rail-
road now and that the goal is Tsit
Schar instead OF Harbin.
To Cut OFF Russians.
Tie dispatches have indicated for
some days that japanese were endeav-
oring to cut of the Russians at that
point Today comes an Indication from
Tokyo that the Russian headquarters,
with the s.Ik of LineYitch's army. is to
the northwest Of Fakunen.
1t had been believed that news of hard
nghting in that direction would be re-
ceived before this. Though the roads
are in pretty bad condition, it is not
thought a general enga cement can
much longer be delayed. There is no
doubt felt as to the outcome.

: TOKYO, June 5.-While it is impossi-
BILE to get any official information as to
the movement of troops it has been
learned from sources hitherto found re-
liable. that the arrangements for the
occupation OF Saghalien have been COM
pleted- II the transports with the
the troops aboard which are to take

they soon will be-
1t is understood that an army corps
is en- route for Possiet bay. which will
cooperate with the Gensan column to
cut off Vladivostok by land. This OBJ
ject will be accomplished without draw
ing troops from Oyama and lessening
his chances of enveloping and destroy
ing Lineyitch.
Repairing the Fleet.
The work of repairing the damage to
the fleet is actively pushed. AS soon as
this is done the investment of VladiyoS-
tok by sea will be begun It is expect
ed that the movement OF fleet and army
against the Russian port viii be syn
chronized.
The fragmentary news which comes
from the army in Manchuria indicates
that the Russians are retiring 10 the
westward in order 10 prevent Oyama
from getting between them and their
base.

but that a battle soon VIII be foSlght Is

the right, while the transports and col
hers occupied middle position.
Came Out Of the Mist.
The Japanese rushed out of the mist,
which hung over the water, coming
from the left. The hulls of their vessels
were painted gray, making them hard
to distinguish
They concentrated their fire on the
two leading Russian vessels, practically
disabling two battleships. They drew
on, then swung to port and returned
to the attack. selecting the third and
fourth battleships as their victims,
sinking one OF them.
Again the japanese drew off only to
return for third attack crossing the
bows OF the Russians and pouring in
a fire that completed the demolishment
OF the armored vessels.
The Japanese then began an envelop-
ing movement which shut in the whole
doomed fleet. Admiral Enquist's squad
ron drew off to the south and eventual
ly threw off the Japanese pursuers.
.pnumerable torpedo-boat charges
RSarked the attack, according to Admiral
EnQuist.
Submarine Boats.
One Russian officer asserts positively
that submarine boats were used in the
attack. The Russians were demoralized
by these attacks. In the confusion
caused by these charges the Aurora
headed for the open sea with the Jen-
chug and Oleg following.
Admiral Enquist is uninjured. Captain
Egorieff, Of the Aurora, was killed in
the coming tower OF his ship by shell
and buried at sea. Three other officers
We're wounded. Of the crew, twenty
were killed and eighty-three wounded
The Oieg suffered loss of thirteen
killed and eighteen wounded. Two junior
officers Of the Jemchug were killed. One
officer was wounded. Twenty members
OF the crew were killed and thirty
