Of their loved ones.
Many Of the people of st. Pet.
ersburg refuse absolutely to cred
it the news from Toxic and are
clutching at the belief that per-
haps it is not official. The gov
eminent undoubtedly fears the
effect of the news Of the disaster
upon the country, as evidence Of
which Governor General Trepoff
has taken personal charge Of the
censorship in st. Petergburg.
Peace demonstrations are gen.
orally expected. though, pending
the decision of the government
with regard to the opening of
negotiations, it is impossible to
predict what stand the anti-gov-
ernment forces may take.

ron attacked the Russian squad

feated it, sinking at least four
ships and inficting heavy damage

ships is insignificant. Our des-
troyer and torpedo fiotillas de-
livered the attack after sunset.

THE EXPECTED
Has HAPPENED

Tho Japanese and Russian Flssts Clash
and the Rus.iaa Fist i Annihihted.
The latest advices confirm the
magnitude Of disaster suffered
by the Russian feet and point to
the fact that Russia's hopes, 50
far as this war is concerned, now
lie in whatever may be accom-
plished by the oft-beaten army
in Manchuria. An Official report
received from Toxic by the jap
anese legation at Washington
Monday evening says that the
Russian losses are definitely
known to include two battle
ships, a coast defense ship, five
cruisers, two special ships and
three destrOyers sunk, and two
battleships, Two coast defense
ships, one destroyer and one
special ship captured. q total Of
nineteen, while over 5000 pris-
Oners have been taken, includ-
ing Rear Admiral NebOgatoff.
The japanese, it would seem, are
still pursuing the Russians, and
it may be some time before the
final result is known.
There is nothing to clearly in
dicate the extent Of the Japan
ese losses and it is suggested
from one source that the Toxic
government is waiting to heai
from Admiral Reiestvensky by
way Of Vladivostok before an.
nouncing to what extent it's fleet
has suffered.
News Of the disaster has caus.
ed a deep depression in official
Russia, though itisnot yet known
generally among the Russian
people.

''The main force of the Rus
sian second and third fleets is

Vladivostok, May 3O.-Two
ships alone Of Vice Admiral Ro-
iestvensky's powerful feet, the
swift cruiser Almaz and torpedo
boat destroyer Grozny, lie at an
chor here today in the cnrving
harbor Of Golden Horn, they hav-
ing separated from the fleet in
the early stage Of battle, which
began in the Korea strait Eatur-
day and hea ded, in obedience to
orders, with full speed to Vlad-
| ivostok.
Up to A o'clock this afternoon
no other vessel Of the Baltic feet
had yet arrived and the signal
stations at Askold and the Rim
skykorsakof islands reported
none in sight.
The officers Of the Grozny and
Almaz say that both fleets had
already sustained terrible losses
when the Almaz and Grozny
broke through the hostile line.

st. Petersburg, May 2O.-Aftel
waiting vainly all day and even.
ing for direct news from the
scattered remnants Of Vice Ad-
miral Roiestvensky's destroyed
and beaten feet, the Russian ad-
mirAity atmidnight no longer at
tempted to hold out against the
Overwhelming evidence pouring
in from all directions that the
feet on which all their hopes
were centered had suffered a
greater disaster than did the
combined French and Spanish
fleets at Trafalgar.
More bitter even than the de-
feat is the Japanese claim of vir-
tual annihilation of the Russian
feet, with practically no loss on
their side. and many officers cling
doggedly to the belief that Vice
Admiral Togo might have suffer-
ed heavily.
With every ship Of Rear Ad-
miral Nebogatoff's reinforcing
division either sent to the bot
tom or forced to strike its flag,
and only six Of Roiestvensky's
original sixteen fighting ships
sbsent from the list Of vessels
sunk OF captured, and with the
Japanese pursuit still continu-
ing, no naval authority has the
ttemeritya chance TO retrieve the
disasters suffered on land.
THE WAR PARTY WANTS 10 FIGHT
LONGER.
Diplomats entertain no doubt
that the belligerent faction will
continue to urge that the war be
fought to the bitter end, but the
friends Of Russia abroad, and
especially France, are now bring
ing overwhelming arguments to
bear in favor Of peace.
The Associated Press has ex-
cellent reason to believe that the
Russian government in this cris-
is will turn to M. Delcasse, the
French foreign minister, in whose
ability and in whose loyalty as
Russia's friend the emperor and
his ministers have implicit conf
dence. Some time ago itappear-
ed likely that President Roose-
velt would play q big role in the
peace negotiations. but now his
share is about to be determined
by NJ. Delcasse's decision. The
latter may, Of course, consider it
wise to place the negotiations in
President ROOseveIt's hands.
The war party, however, viii
insist now, az they did after the
battle Of Mukden, that peace is
impossible on the heels Of defeat.
Members Of this faction are al
ready proclaiming that the naval
disaster in nowise alters the sit
uatiOn on land, Lieutenant Gen
eral Linevitch having prepared
his plans as if the fleet did not
exist.
The censorship is taking the
position that it is improper to
accept the japanese reports in
the absence Of official news and
has forbidden the publication Of
foreign dispatches giving details
LOT the defeat. Nevertheless,
news Of the magnitude Of the
disaster spread like wildflre
throughout the city and the main
facts were embellished in pic
turesque detail, Notwithstanding
the Official declaration. The ad-
lmiralty is withoutrreports Of tbs
defeat.
