ToGo'S CAREFULLY LAID
AMBUSH.

These dispatches have already told
that while the world supposed Togo
to be at the much-advertised Pescador
islands, he was really waiting quietly
in the sheltered harbor of Masampho
on the Korean side of the Korean
Strait. There, with wireless communi-
cation in every direction, with the
home fortified ports of Nagasaki, Shi-
moneseki and Matsuye to run to in case
of need, with his warships in splendid
trim and his f1otilIa of torpedo boats
and destroyers lying ready in the road
stead of Fusan, with steam up on ev-
cry craft and with every man and gun
ready for action, Togo was guarding
the straits
At the wireless message from Sasu-
ma, Russian squadron in sight, - Togo,
the japanese Admiral, signaled the
formation of attack that had been
agreed on and the combined fleet start
ed to meet the enemy BY this time the
day had advanced, the fog had cleared
and the seas were again running heav-
lily

umns were pointed apparently for the

BoRoDINo IS STRUCK AND BE-
GINS TO SINK.

Again and again came the roars and.
as the japanese searchlights swept
across the field of fight and then went
out it was seen that the great battle
ship Borodino was sinking that the
protected cruiser Zemtchuf was a
wreck, that the two armored cruisers
Dimitri Donskoi and Nakhimoff were
out of the fight. Later, too, it was
learned that some of the destroyers
had reached and sunk the supply ship
kamchatka and that three destroyers
that had rushed out to meet the Japa-
nese fleet had been blown up. This
practically ended the first days fight
ing.
1t seems incredible that in this first
shock of battle with its varied form
of combat and its brave and desperate
enemy handling a powerful feet pos
sessing an overwhelming armament of
big guns-that the japanese should not
have suffered severely. But the au-
thorities at Toxic insist that their re-
ports from the Admiral make the as
tonishing assertion that he came out of
this first onslaught unscathed.
On the other hand the London Stock
Exchange reports having received dis
patches showing that Togo lost three
cruisers and that dozen torpedo boats
and destroyers were sunk or disabled
