Admiral Togo.

London, May 29.-Admiral Togo is
now regarded as one of the greatest
naval commanders the world has pro-
duced. Togo the silent is the way
10 which he is characterized by his
officers and men. A man of few words,
he is as full of action as one of the rapid
fire guns of his own flagship. When
Admiral Togo was told that he was to
command the navy in the war with Rus
STA, he said simply; eyes, SIR"
Initiative is the one prodominating
trait of this Japanese sailor. He struck
first in the war with China, and when
the Japanese Ministry Of Marine was
endeavoring to select a commander for
the feet in the impending war with
Russia, several names were pro-
posed. "Send Togo" Admiral Count Ito
advised. "He struck first at China, he
will strike first and as hard at Russia.
Admiral Togo is one of the hardest
workers in the japanese navy. He
drives himself to the limit, and expects
every man under him, officer or sailor,
to do his null duty, and ga little more"
for the glory of the Emperor. Admiral
Togo is neither of princely nor noble
birth. He is simply a gentleman,
samnrai, of the famous Satsuma clan.
4 Christian he elings to the tradition of
tht ISamauri. Admiral Togo is 4S years old
and from his youth was attached to the
sea. He entered the service of the navy
and received the greater part of his edu-
cation at the English Naval College at
Greenwich, where he had been sent by
his government 10 learn all he could.
He wasted no time, but devoted himself
to study and upon leaving Greenwich re-
turn to Japan, aud aided in the building
Of new and up to date navy. He was
captain in 1894, in command of the
second class cruiser Naniwa which was
nothing more than a converted merchant
man. He was with the first flying
squadron sent to China in that war. He
fell in with transport. the kowshing,
with a British captain and crew aud
captured her. The Chinese officers
aboard at first attempted to make run
for it, and after waiting 20 minutes in
which to give the Americans and Eng
lish an opportunity to leave the ship,
Togo raised the red flag, a signal that
he intended to fire. Then he torpedoed
the vessel 1t was the first fight of the
war. Togo distinguished himself at the
battle Of the YaIu and was promoted to
be rear admiral and given the third
command of The navy. Ia appearance
Admiral Togo looks like a weathered
old sea captain. He is about medium
in height, has a short bristly gray
beard, and like most japanese Of
GERS, does not know how to wear
uniform. 1t invariably wrinkles where
it would fit snugly. He is a strict dls-
but because of Is fairness
aud business is greatly esteemed by bis
men. He is married and has three
daughters and son. The boy is at the
Imperial University in Toxic, and wants
to follow the footsteps of his father. 81
am not a great reader, Admiral Togo
told an interviewer 'but / have become

THE TIDE of war is still running IA
voraby to Japan, and The Baltic fleet,
from which much had been expected by
the Car, has, according to today's dis
patches, been practically annihilated by
the invincible Togo and the remnants
are now, it is reported, fleeing before
swiher vessels of the Mikado's navy.
The carnage has been terrible, and ia
pan has not emerged unscathered. The
Russian feet, upon which so many hopes
were built, has been dispersed and de-
stroyed. Four of its eight battleships
have been sunk or captured; five of its
nine cruisers have been sunk; four of its
eleven torpedo boat destroyers have been
sunk or captured and the same fate has
been melted out to several of the minor
vessels attached to the squadron.
