How Roj%estvensky Surrendered.
Toxic, June 3.-Torpedo boa de-
stroyers which have returned to Sase-
BIO furnished details Of the capture of
Rojestvensky.
The destroyers Kasumi, Usugmo,
Sazanami and Kagerou were ordered
to attack the Russian warships in the
night Of May 81, and were steamlng
ahead when they suddenly encoun-
tered a umb of Russian ships. The
Kasumi narrowly avoided a collision
with a Russian cruiser, the c%loseness
OF which seems to ave saved the de-
stroyer from being damaged by the
heavy fire which the Russians directed
on them. During the Russian attack
the vessels forming the destroyer flo
tilla divided. The Sazarimi and Kage-
rou continued the search for Russian
ships throughout tie night and in the

Ing to Russian naval regulations, q
commander may be allowed to surren-
der. Nevertheless most naval men
continue to be Of the opinion that the

the ships sunk. &c.
