ADMIT 1T SPELLS DISASTER
Admiralty Awaits News from vIadi-
vostok, Hoping That Later Reports
Will Show Japanese Also Suffered
Public Not Fully Aware Of the Re-
suit of the Battle.

ST Petersburg, May 23-At the ad-
miralty this morning absolutely noth-
ing was known of the naval battle in
the far east, except the news contain
ed in the dispatches to the Associated
Press. The general impression pro-
duced by cable messages is extremely
gloomy. Black pessimism reigns
among the public.
While Rojestvensky was expected to
pay a price for reaching his haven at
Vladivostok, complete loss of his four
best battleships. besides several other
warships. with heavy damage to the
other ships which such havoc indi-
Gates is admitted to spell disaster, un-
less the Japanese suffered correspond
ingly. For this reason the news from
Vladivostok, where the first commune
ication with the Russian fleet will be
established, is awaited with intense
anxiety. The admiralty calculates wire-
less communication with Vladivostok
might be established this afternoon or
tonight, but as all dispatches must
first go to the emperor. the news is
not likely to reach the public until to-
morrow. The Toxic official bulletin.
announcing Rojestvensky's fleet is
practically annihilated, was a crushing
blow to the admiralty officials, destroy
ing the hope to which many of them
had clung that the silence Of the Jap

construed. The wording Of the official
dispatch was interpreted to mean that
Togo had succeeded in barring and
holding the entrance to the straits of
Korea against Rojestvensky. Owing
to the decision of the newspapers to
suspend Monday publications only tel
egrams are being printed on fly sheets.

THE Hour of Fate Has Struck" The
paper says:
Russia has been reproached with
putting too much trust in God, sending
too many Ikons to war and not enough
men. The result is now. in the Ian
