RUSSIANS PUT
UP GOOD FIGHT
SAKHALlN TROOPS RESIST
DESPERATELY
JAPANESE TAKE GREAT RISKS
Typographical Character Of District ls
Largely In Favor Of Cars SOL
dlers, Who Are DIsIodged
With Difficulty
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, July 21.--A special telegram
from Otaru says that the Russians
defeated at Daline were about 500
strong, with six field and three ma
chine guns, and taking the fullest adj
vantage of the Typographical charac-
ter of the district offered the most des-
perate resistance. The Russian posi-
tions were hidden among a thick for
est and it was impossible for the Jap
anese gunners to make a correct OBJ
servation. $40
The cannonade, however, was opened
by the Japanese at. 6 o'clock on the
morning Of July z and was kept up until
dark, when the Japanese infantry,
gradually gaining ground. closed in on
the enemys line of defense and awaited
an opportunity for the final charge. It
was nearly two hours past midnight
when the enemy's first line of defense,
strengthened by the barricades and
trenches, was taken. This success was
vigorously followed up, but it was not
until 9 o'clock on the morning Of July
8 that the enemy was driven out of the
second line of his defense and victory
secured, with trophies of four field and
one machine gun. The nature of the
ground exposed the Japanese assailants
to great disadvantage and risks.
1t is believed that, owing to the short
supplies of ammunition and provisions,
the Russians at Sakhalin could not
hold out much longer.

presence Of Cervera's squadron. j. at
tached to the Remington. He was not
aboard, however. having left her
Thursday BY train for Mare island
hospital. where It is said he will un-
dergo an operation for appendicitis.
One Of the unfortunate ones was
Gunner's Mate John Turpin, coiored.
Turpin was a member Of the Names
crew when that vessel was blown up
in Havana harbor and escaped unin,
jured. His good luck on that occa-
sion did not desert him and he came
through today's explosion without a
scratch.
Arrangements for burying the dead
have not been perfected, but It is
thought nearly, II not quite all the
bodies will be inferred at the military
cemetery on Point Iona reservation,
San Diego bay. Some may be sent to
their former homes should their fam
flies so request.
One of the many pathetic scenes en-
acted at the hospitals was witnessed
at Agnew sanitarium. Two men with
bruised and blackened bodies lay on
cots side by side. They were close
friends and had enlisted together One
of them wished only to see his moth
er and sister again, and spoke feeling
ly Of them. The other, tortured with
pain, cursed everything, hoping to die
soon and end 1t ALL.
"Oh, can't you be serious for once"
said the first victim stop your
swearing. Remember you have only
a few hours to live, so be decent for
a few minutes at least" In an hour
both were dead.

GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
OF THE DISASTER
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, July 21.-Lieut. Yates,
executive officer in charge of the Ben
nington at the time of the disaster, was
in the aft cabin. He rushed out, to be
met by a binding, scalding cloud CT
steam as it swept the vessel. Speaking
of the occurrence he said:
81 must have remained seated in my
chair several seconds after it occurred
and didn't know what happened. then
rushed out and the steam even at the
extreme after part Of the ship was so
dense that I couldn't get a breath of air
until 1 ascended the rail.
"As ran forward l passed one of our
boys crawling along on his stomach.
There was no time to attend to indi-
vidual cases-there were so maryland
they seemed almost like an indistinct
boys were on the foredeck, all badly
wounded. 1 called for men to man the
boats and only about twelve, including
officers, responded. All of the rest were
lllJOI Gu VI liuu DSCi ullN Gil ONCL thS
side by the scalding steam.
although l did not anticipate great
deal of danger from fire, on account of
the nature of the explosion, 1 imme-
diately had all compartments closed
and the forward magazine flooded.
Afterward the after magazine was also
flooded to assure safety. The boat listed
sharply to starboard Immediately after
the explosion. -
Ship May Be Total Loss ~
I'VE have no means as yet of ascer-
tanning the extent of our injuries.
AS far as can be learned a part of
the furnace fell against the boiler,
which exploded. 1t was forced aft, and
it is probable that the other boilers
also exploded Immediately afterward
and the steam pipes were wrecked
the engine rooms at the time must
have met death. We cannot tell yet how
great is the leak The holes are prob
ably small, but we would have sunk
had we not had the ship towed ashore
The ship may be a complete wreck
below, however, as far as it can be
told at the present time. !.
-Four bodies are still in sight in
the boiler room, under the wreckage,
and they will be removed as soon as
possible. Men are now at work cut
ting hole into the other engine room
through the bulkhead."
1.-The explosion happened at the
very worst time" said one of the
jackies, land / can't figure out how II
happen to be alive. The engine room
watch had just gone below to prepare
for sea, some of the boys were up on
the forecastle and most of us were
down on the berth deck just aft of the
boiler room, where the explosion oc-
Cured. 1t happened all at once. The
whole deck seemed to lift in front of
us and a cloud of white steam swept
aft over the berth deck, scalding every
one. Many of the boys jumped over
board and were picked up by the boats
which were lowered Immediately. En-
sign Perry was our officer of the day
He was standig on the foredeck just
aft of the chart house. He was badly
hurt, as he was directly above the
boiler that exploded. Most of the boys
on the foredeck were burned, as the
steam kept rising right up from the
boiler ROOM"
