RUSSIANS STUPEFIED
EXTENT OF DISASTER SUFFERED
BY BALTIC FLEET sTUNs
THE ADMIRALTY.

st. Petersburg, May 31.-The Rus
sian admiralty is literally stupefied at
the extent of the disaster suffered by
Vice Admiral Rojestvenskys feet.
and its own advices paint the situation
in even worse colors than the Toxic
dispatches.
The Associated Press Vladivostok

of the great Russian f1eet-Iny .r,1is-
er Alnaz and the tropedo boat destroy.
|er Grozny and the absence of news
about the battleship Nayarin and the
cruisers Oleg and Aurora, which are.
the only fighting ships Of any value
not enumerated In the Japanese lists
of destroyed or captured, and which
up to 4:3O o'clock Tuesday afternoon
had not reached Vladivostok, renders
almost idle any hope that they were
able to shake off the pursuing Japa-
nese cruisers and reach the shelter of
the fortress at Golden Horn.
The officers Of the Almaz dispute
Admiral .Togo's claim Of victory with
practically no loss and declare they
saw two battleships go down before
their eyes and that two cruisers were
on the point Of found dering when they
last distinguished the battling fleets
But they admit the distance of their
ship from the center of battle and the
fog made the view difficult.
tIumiiiating to Russians.
Tokio's account of the arrival Of
captured warships at Japanese ports
WAS more humiliating to the Russian,
naval authorities than the news OF the
defeat
The opinion exprsrsed here is that
nothing can excuse the failure Of the
Russian commanders to sink their
ships under their feet rather than to
allow them to fall into the enemy's
hands.
The question Of inaugurating peace
lnegotiations Is not likely to be opened
until full reports Of the Russian dis
] aster have been received. The war
marty continues its defiant attitude
and declares that peace is impossible,
while many Russians who heretofore
lhave been in favor Of peace, but who
are now Inundated by the sting Of the
defeat Of their navy. are giving their
voice III favor of continuation Of the
war. Nevertheless, the peace party
Insists on the absolute futility of pro-
longing the struggle.

/ improbable that the government Will
decide on the course II will pursue uI-

Sunday
Rojestvensky, With Skull Frac.
tured, Rescued From His
Sinking Flag Ship

London, May 30.-The tale of Rus
sia's sea disaster is now complete.
Out of the great fleet that went into
battle on Saturday, May ~, all but
four ships have been captured or sunk
by the Japanese, the admiral of the
feet, Rojestvensky, is a prisoner and
is desperately wounded; Admiral Voel-
kersa1n is dead, shot or drowned; Ad-
miral Nebogatoff is a surrendered
prisoner; two vessels out of all the
gallant armada that was headed for
Vladivostok have reached that port;
5000 Russian sailors are dead and
more than 5000 captured-suc is the
catalogue of the Overwhelming ills
and it is all terribly true.
Admiral Togo is still securing the
Sea of Japan in quest of some rem
nant of the enemy that may have es-
capped him, but the list of vessels sunk
and vessels captured is q wonderful
one Here is the tally:
Sunk-The battleships Prince Sou
varoff, lmperator, Alexander Ill, Boro-
dino, Oshabia, Sissol Veliki and Ma.
varin; cruisers Oushakoff, two special
service ships, the repair ship Kant
chatka and three destroyers.
Captured-Battleship Orel and I'm
perator Nicholai L.; coast defense ships
Admiral Apraxine and Admiral Sen
yanvin; destroyer Biedoyy.

DEAD BODIES AND SHIP
WREckAaEsF FLOAT ASHORE

Now that the glory of victory and
the misery of defeat are written
stories of death and of wounded men
In agony are coming to the front. The
wreckage and disfigured bodies Of
dead sailors are being washed ashore
along the shores of the Korean straits;
the twisted and shattered hulks Of the
Russian vessels lie on the shoals or
are hung on the rocks and Japanese
fishermen are collecting the fearful
aotsam of the fight.
Captured ships with prisoners are
arriving at Sasebo; other prisoners
have been landed at Tsu island; 800
have been brought to Iwami and the
captured vessels are being brought to-
Japanese ports by prize crews to be
refltted and to fly the flag of the Ris-
Ing Sun.
From q score of various sources,
from the crippled Russian war vessels
staggering into the various ports, from
the captured Russian officers and men
and from the niggardly reports Of the
Japanese naval bureau additional facts
are learned OF the great encounter,
none Of which changes the main facts,
but all OF which add vividness. action
and color to the story Of the engage
ment
Admiral Togo's disposition Of his
neet was tactically perfect. His squad
rons guarded both channels Of the
Korean straits and the feet squadron
