Tokio, June 30.-( -(Correspondence of the | Associated Press )--The story of the loss of the Japanese cruiser Talxasago In De- eenIber last only published since the de- struction of RoJestvensky' fleet. is a mili- tary classic.
 After the Takasago struck 8 mine and began to sink the crew assembled in per- feet order on the upper deck, there to await the battle with stormy sea and death. Captain Ishibashi ordered every man to use a life belt. and directed that no one jump overheard until the ship ac- tually sank The crew then joined in singing the national anthem, cheering the Emperor. and lastly they sang Gallant Sailors" their five hundred voices ringing out above the storm. After that. as a re- taxation, the men were allowed to smoke and thus went calmly to their deaths. Out of 800 men who went down with the Takasago only 1S3 were rescued.
 An officer who was aboard gives the following account of the disaster and the remarkable coolness and bravery of the crew:
 Just From Dockyard.
 '"rhe Takasago. fresh from the Kue dock yard, where she had been undergoing repairs steamed straight to the mouth of the Pechili gulf at the beginning of De- meber, and on December II she was or dered to wait for a collier at a point off Port Arthur. The collier, however, did not put in an appearance. owing to the rough weather. On the 12th the sea was still high, and there were no signs of the collier. During the day the cruiser drift ed with the waves, and at night cruised slowly at the entrance of the Pechili gulf. She was not accompanied by any other vessel. At 9 D. m. half of the crew were allowed to take a recess, ana the men lay down upon the decks in their uni- forms.
 Tt was an intensely cold night, with a gale and snow At 2 minutes past mid- night, when at a point twenty-five nauti- cal miles south of Port Arthur. and on the eastern side of the Mlaotao island, she struck a mine on her larpoard' side and a terrific explosion occurred, the sea leap ing high above the ship. The mine had made a breach of about six feet in di- ameter in the middle of the water line on the left side. The water rushed in with

tremendous force and the ship listed to the left.
 Fate Seemed Sealed.
 ''The crew worked hard to stop the thrush of the water. but in vain. There was no vessel in sight, so the fate of the ship, as we'll as that of the crew, seemed sealed
 Fifteen minutes after srilxing the mine, all the electric lights on bard were sud- denly extinguished. Owing to the list, the boats on the starboard could not be launched, with the exception of one. Of those on the larboard, a steam launch was destroyed and only cutter and one other boat were available.
 At 12;45 a. m.S the vessel communicated the disaster to our squadron by means of wireless telegraph.
 Captain Addresses Crew.
 Captain Ishibashi, on the forepridge, addressed the crew. five hundred in num- ber who had assembled on the upper deck. saying that every one on board should equip himself with a life belt. He said: No one must leave the ship until she sinks We will together share the fate of the vessel After this speech. there was solemn silence. At l a. m the crew sang the national anthem. and at the instance of Captain Ishibashi, rousing banzais were shouted for the Emperor, the empire, and the navy. Then the crew sang a naval song styled Gallant Sail ors' At the conclusion of this song the crew were permitted to smoke.
 At 1:10 a. m. the vessel suddenly in- creased her list, and after once dipping her mast into the waves. raised herself with a convulsive shudder and then plunged to the bottom. Captain Ishibashi and the crew were thrown Into the sea.
 Otowa Comes to Rescue.
 'The three boats which had beeen low cred from the ship were fortunately afioat with their regulation crews on board. They did their utmost to rescue the of- ficers and men, but the fate of the boats themselves seemed at times precarious. A few minutes lat9r. however, search light was observed In southeasterly direction. The light approached and dis closed to view the warship Otowa. which had come to the rescue. At sight of the Otowa the men who had resigned them selves to death, raised cries for help, thus increasing the sadness of the scene.
 Despite the efforts of the boats only 133 persons. including Captain Ishbashi, were saved, more than 3Go being lost, in- cluding Commander Nakayama. num- Der of men died from exposure after be- ing picked up.'
