April %. Those who saw Admiral
Rojestvensky prior to his departure
say he is suffering from dysentery,
accompanied by severe pains. All
the officers and crew of the Russian

1t is believed here that Admiral RO-

decisive battle. A torpedo boat de.
stroyer is patro1ling the coast. The
French third class cruiser Des Cartes
