of him, Rojestvensky was practi-
cally defeated within a few hours
and was caught in the trap which
had been waiting for him since
he left Madagascar. He dis
played hesitation in his tactics
and this resulted in the utter
confusion of the Russian feet.
The internal concenti alton Of
firing reached its zenith at one
O'Clock in the afternoon. AS the
Russians advanced. in the direc-
tion Of Vladivostok, a Japanese
squadron was lying between
them and their destination and
the doomed Russians were bat
tered on all sides. Between 3
and 5 O'clock in the afternoon a
cruiser uf the Admiral Nakhim-
off class and The repair ship
Kamtchatka foundered, after
their upper works had been shat
tered. The Russians broke in
utter disorder, lost their forma-
tion and went zig gag. The Jap
anese closed in and pressed them
towards the Negota coast.
The fight lasted until Z o'clock
in the evening. The correspond
ent continues;
Togo risked nothing and lost
nothing. Darkness brought a
glorious night with smooth and
transparent seas. The Russians
were edging northward with the
powerful Japanese fleet in hor.
izontal line across their bows,
forming an effective barrier
Then under searchlights and the
cover of the big guns Of the war
ships, the japanese torpedo flo
tilla began like locusts to sting
and sink the enemy, the Rus
SLAMS continuing to return the
gun fire.
AT 2 o'clock in the morning
the fighting was fierce and in
tense and no rest was allowed
the Russians.
With dawn of Sunday the
japanese feet came into still
closer range. All day long the
battle continued, and by evening
was raging off northern Negoto.
The Russians were powerless to
offer any effective resistance.

LEE OLIVE MAKES PROT EST
Against The Foul OdOrs in his Neigh
borhood.

I wish to call the attention of the
council and the people of Chick.
ash to the horrible sanitary con-
ditions i'll my neighborhood. The
foul water from the Model Laun-
dry and the putrid canned goods
from the wholesale grocery have
created a stencil that is almost un-
endurable. l have repeatedly called
upon members of the council to do
something for the relief of the
people in our neighborhood but
nothing has been done. I'd like to
see any alderman spend a night at
my house and sleep in the presence
of the terrible stencil from filth
and putrefying matter. We have
already had several cases of fever
in our neighborhood and unless
something is done we shall have
more. 1t is an outrage that we
must be subjected to such a condit-
ion of affairs. The health of the
whole neighborhood is endangered
and life is made miserable. Some
thing must be done and I call upor
the Mayor and council to do it.
J. L. Olive.

TROOPS ARE IN REVOLT
Linevetch Continuation OF the War is
Impossible

S.. Petersburg, June Gen,
Linrvitch wired the Gar today
that the news Of Rojestvensky' s
defeat has spread throughout the
army in Manchuria and that the
troops are in open revolt.
He points ont that under such
conditions the cntinuation Uf the
war is impossible.
This is the crowning disaster in
the series of alamities that have
overtaken Russia since the opening
of war February s, 1904.
Russia is left senseless. Crowd
of illiterate Muzhiks surround those
who are able to read the news bull
letins in the streets and weep while
they listen to the pitiful details Of
the Tsushimr catastrophe.
The worst prediction of the enc
mics of the Carbon are now found
to be exceeded.
On all sides the cry is heard that
TIE present regime is responsible;
that it must be cleared out. The
Car is no longer considered.
Even M. Zouvorine, editor Of
the Novoe Vremya. demands that
the people take the helm of state
into their own hands.
Admiral Alexieff' rs organ, the
Slovo, exclaims that Russia has
had calamities enough and deman-
ds a change of regime that will give
peace.
Rumors are spreading every
where today that the Car intends
to resign. The convocation Of a
National Assembly is confidently
expected this afternoon. The
Grand Dukes will hold a meeting
tonight aud all the ministers and
prominent Generals have been ur-
gently invited to attend a confer
ence at Tsarskoe Sebo. Ministers,
Generals and Admirals interviewed
BY the News correspondent today
were unanimously of opinion
that Russia had lost its sea power
for half centuary to come.

THE kAiseHs BLUFF.

the proper place and time and on the
proper scale
The German nations interest in
Morocco is so small as hardly to be
worth taking into account at all. But
Kaiser Wilhelm's interest Is as linn
itless as mis- ambition. When the
kaiser paid his brief visit to Tangier
during his Mediterranean trip II
couple of months ago he acted ac-
cording to the dictates of mis- ambi-
ton. and AS a result he has prepared
