announcement that its fleet had en- gagged the Russians in the straits of Korea and had held them. The re- ported sinking of the battleship Boro- dino is mentioned in a dispatch receiv- ed at the state department from the consul at Nagasaki
 It is said that the Japanese resorted to free use of their torpedo boats in their attacks on the vessels of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet. The Japanese have a large number of tor pedo boats in their fleet. and they have demonstrated their effectiveness in tlle operations.
 The name and destination of the American steamer which Vice Admiral Rojestvensky is reported to have sunk off FOrmosa is unknown. Details con. corning the sinking of the vessel are expected to be made known when the crew of the steamer reaches Japan. Although nothing is known here about the case, it is expected that Vice Ad- miral Rojestvensky will ,claim that the vessel was cruising
 A St. Petersburg dispatch says that nothing is known at the admiralty of the reported sinking of an unknown American steamer off Formosa by Vice Admiral Rojestvensky It is recogniz- ed at the admiralty as quite possible that "Rojestvensky may have been compelled by military necessity to de- stroy neutral. If he feared that to allow it to proceed and report the whereabouts and direction of the Rus sian fleet would endanger his strategic plan he had no other alternative ex- cept 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 a crisis is too great to take any chances. If the ship was unjustifiabIy sunk from the stand point of international law Russia of course will have to foot the bill. but any cost is cheap if it furthered Ro- iestvensky's mission"

 When large portion of the Russian fleet was sighted approaching the Ko- rean strait and heading for the chan. nel between Tsu island and the Jap anese coast Admiral Togo. with his main fleet, steamed out to meet them from Masampho bay
 The main portion of Admiral Togo's fleet has been almost constantly there for several days
 A Tokyo report says that the Rus sian fleet has been dispersed. that sev- eral Russian ships have been disabled and that the remainder are in flight. with the Japanese pursuing.
 Conlrmat ton has been received at Washington from Shanghai of the re- port that the Russian warships of the Pacific fleet sank an unknown Ameri- can merchant ship off the Chinese coast. The heavy gun fire from the engagement of the hostile fleets in the Korean strait was plainly heard at Shanghai.
 A Shanghai special says that Rojest- vensky's fleet has been defeated of Oki island and is fleeing northward and that ten Russian ships. including the battleships Borodino and Orel and the fleet repair ship. have been sunk.
 There was running naval engage ment between the hostile fleets in the strait of Korea. starting at the island If Tsu. It Is reported that the whole Russian fleet is not participating. some of the slower vessels having steamed around Japan. The Japanese losses % far are stated to be one cruiser and ten torpedo hnats.
 It is believed now that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky sent sufficient ships to the vicinity of Shanghai in order to in- duoe the belief that his main feet was there. while the major portion of it pushed on toward the Korean strait in an endeavor to reach yladirostok.
