der of the information squadron, COM
posed of scouts and merchantmen
with 5000 other Russians, is among the
prisoners captured by the Japanese.
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky appears to
have escaped. The battle blegan Sat-
urday morning and the Japanese are
still in pursuit of the Russians.
Paris-The late dispatches showing
the crushing nsture of the Russian ma
val defeat have led to the comment
that Russia has played her last card
and must bring the war to a close.
The semiofficial Temps makes an urg-
ent appeal on the subject, voicing the
sentiment of the allied nations that
Russia should abandon struggle
which has become hopeless and make
the best peace possible. The paper
says Admiral Rojestvensky awas the
last hope and his defeat leaves japan
master of 1.-THE seas without "a further
chance of the Russian navy or army
achieving a victory.

Russians Good Retreaters.

For hundreds of years the Russians
have been making themselves famous
as nation of retreaters. The history
of almost every conflict into which
they have entered is filled with de-
scriptions of retreats-retreats which
have either been flights before a vic
torious foe, as in the present war in
Manchuria, or retreats designed to
lure pursuers on to defeat. as in the
case of Napoleon. When the first de-
feats came to Russian arms in the orr
ent, and the armies of the car began
to fall back, military experts and mil
lions of other people said:
Wait! The Japanese seem vic
torious now-but it is Russian policy
to retreat to lure her victims on!"
In score of wars, fought in nearly
every country in Europe and Asia,
this policy of retreating has lost
half million men, or one-fourth of
all those sent out to fight the battles
of Russian czars.

YANKEE SHIP is LOST.
Russia Says She Knows Nothing of
the Steamer.

the steamer.
st. Petersburg, May 51.-Nothing is
known at the admiralty of the report
ed sinking of an unknown American
steamer off Formosa by Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky. 1t is recognized at the
admiralty as quite possible that Ro-
jestvensky may have been compelled
by military necessity to destroy a neu-
trial. If he feared that to allow it to
proceed and report the whereabouts
and direction of the Russian fleet,
would endanger his strategic plan, he
had no other alternative except to take
off the crew and sink the ship. Such
an incident is unfortunate, but every
naval officer must admit that the risk
in such crisis is too great to take
any chances. If this ship was un-
justifiably sunk from the standpoint
of international law Russia, of course,
will have to foot the bills; but any
cost is cheap if it furthered Roles
vensky's mission.

JAPS HELD RUSSIANS In The
KOREAN STRAITS.

BattIeships ore and Her Sister
Ship, the 7orodino, Reported Sunk
They Were Finest Type of Russian
Navy.

Washington, May 30.-Japanese Min
lister Takahira has received a dispatch
from Toxic saying, in effect, that the
fighting in the naval battle thus far
has been with favorable prospects to
the Japanese. The minister's dispatch
is from private sources.
A dispatch was received at the state
department saying that the Japanese
government has made the announce
ment that its fleet had engaged the
Russians in the straits of Korea Satur-
day and had held them. The report
ed sinking of the battleship Borodino
is mentioned in dispatch received at
the state department from the consul
at Nagasaki.
Following is the text of the Maya
saki dispatch to the state department:
THE Japanese sunk the Russian bat
tleship Borodino and four more war
ships and a repair Ship
The other dispatch follows:
Japanese fleet engaged the Baltic
squadron this afternoon in the straits
of Tsushima, which was held. Can
The belief in naval circles in WASH
ington is that the Japanese resorted to
a free use of their torpedo boats in
their attacks on the ships of Admiral
Rojestvenskys neet. The Japanese
have large number Of torpedo boats
in their fleet, and they demonstrated
their effectiveness in the operations
around Port arthur. Naval officials
here express the opinion that it was
unlikely that such serious losses as
those reported had been inflicted by
ordinary fire.
From information which has been
received in Washington it is believed -
that two of the Russian ships reported
to have been sunk in the Korean
straits by the Japanese are the Orel
and her sister ship, the Borodino.
They are battleships of $4,000 tons.
Three other vessels reported to have
been sunk are believed to have been
cruisers, the remaining one being a re-
pair ship.
The Orel and Borodino are of 1856
tons displacement each, heavily ar
well protected and were de-
signed to make Is knots an hour. They
397 feet by 76 feet, with 26
feet draft, and both have a lofty spar
deck fully 80 feet above the water
line, extending from the bow to the
quarter deck Forward is mounted a.
pair of 1874 inch guns in a turret pro-
tected by IL inches of Krupp armor.
Another pair of guns, of the same size,
is mounted aft. There are 80 other
guns of the intermediate battery, and
the vessels carry two submerged tor
pedo tubes and two above water. A
special feature of the vessels is their
vertical longitudinal buihheads, run
ming throughout the whole length Of
the ship at distance of or 10 feet
lnboard from the ships sides, designed
to localize the effect of a LOW from a
torpedo.

Two Boat Destroyers sunk-Battle
Occurred in Korean straits-com-

Toxic, May 30.-It is officially an
nounced that Admiral Rojestvensky s
feet has been practically annihilated
Twelve warships have been sunk or
captured, and two transports and two
torpedo boat destroyers have been
sunk.
The correspondent of the Morning
Post at Shanghai says that telegram
has been received there announcing
that Rojestvenskys fleet has been de-
feated and is fleeing northward. and
that four Russian ships, including the
battleship Borodino, have been sunk.
The Toxic correspondent of the Daily
Mail says that the Russian fleet has
been dispersed; that several Russian
ships have been disabled and that the
remainder are in flight, with the Jap
anese pursuing.
According to the latest information,
the battle between the Russian and
Japanese naval forces for the suprem-
acy of the oriental seas. on which
hangs the outcome of the war in the
far east, has begun, if it has not ter
minated decisively. All dispatches re-
ceived by the Associated Press point
to japanese victory, though it is not
yet known that the full force of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's fighting ships
took part in the contest. which. ac-
cording to the dispatches, took place
in the comparatively narrow waters of
the strait of Korea.
The first information came in a dis
patch from the American consul at
Nagasaki to the state department at
Washington telling that the Japanese
had sunk one Russian battleship, four
other warships and a repair ship in
the Korean strait, and this was fol-
lowed by dispatch received by the
state department, the date of which
was not given, that the Japanese gov
ernment has made the announcement
that its feet had engaged the Russians
in the strait of Korea Saturday and
had held them" The state department
also received information that two
of the vessels reported to have been
sunk were the sister battleships Orel
and Borodino, and that three of the
other ships were cruisers.
From Tsingtau, the German port on
the Shantung peninsula, came a re-
port that running naval engagement
took place near the island of Oki in
the sea of Japan, 1000 miles northeast
of the strait Of Korea, and that the
whole Russian fleet did not participate,
the SLOW vessels having been sent
around Japan.
Russian sources give no news of the
battle, while the Japanese, following
their custom, are silent as to either
the battle or its outcome.
