Naval experts are anxiously awaiting
the detailed report of the battle to see
how 1t was possible for Togo to wiz
such complete victory at such appar

Confidential reports to the navy de
partment say that the sailors on some
OF the Russian ships became panic
stricken under the deadly accuracy Of
the Japanese gun fire, deserted the
guns and jumped into the sea- In some
cases, 1t is said, the officers also com
pletely lost their heads and followed
the men overheard before their ships
were IN any danger of sinking.

ROOSEVELT AS PEAcEMAKER
Diplomats at Washington Say He Alone
Is Free to Act.

Washington, May 31.-President
Roosevelt is the only executive of
frst-class power in the world who could
suggest the cessation of hostilities be-
tween Russia and Japan without giving
offense to either nation. The United
States is on exceedingly friendly terms
with both nations, and it would be pat
emit to both that America had no ul-
terror motives; that it was not en-
deavoring to secure any advantage of
any character whatever; that its mo-
tives were purely humanitarian; and
any suggestions Of peace which might
come from this government would be
for the purpose Of bringing an end to
the terrible slaughter Of lives and the
waste of treasure.
Almost every foreign ambassador
and minister at the national capital,
leaving out of consideration Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian ambassador, and Ko-
goro Takahira, the Japanese minister,
is in favor of peace, and believes that
President Roosevelt could with perfect
propriety and without loss Of dignity
to the nation, take the initiative by
addressing an identical note to tho
Russian and Japanese governments re-
guesting them to adjust their differ
ences and calling on them in the name
of humanity to stop the slaughter OF
their people by continuing the war.
