Is novel in it's conception.
1t is customary among the Alaska
Indians to leave money to pay for

a suitable piece for his grave. He was
wealthy enough, though, to leave his
kinsmen considerable money.

RUSSIAN ADMIRALTY STUNNED.
Cruiser Almaz the Only Slav Warship
Left In Far East.

Left In Far East.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 81, 4:25 a. m.-
The Russian Admiralty is literally stupe-
fed at the extent of the disaster suffered
by Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's feet and
its own advices paint the situation in even
worse colors than the Toxic dispatches
The absence of news about the battle
ship Navarin and the cruisers Oleg and
Aurora, which are the only fighting ships
Of any value not enumerated in the Jap

which up to 4:30 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon had not reached Vladivostok, rem
ders almost idle any hope that they were
able to shake off the pursuing Japanese
cruisers and reached the shelter Of the
fortress at Golden Horn.
The officers of the Almaz dispute Ad-
miral Togos claim of victory with prac-
tically no loss, and declare that they saw
two battleships go down before their
eyes, while two cruisers were on the point
of laundering when they last distin-
guished the battling fleets; Shut they adj
NIT that fog and the distance of their
ships from the scene of battle made the
view difficult.
Russia has agreed to disarm and intern
the big fleet of colliers and transports
sent to the Chinese coast when Rojest-
vensky determined to try to force the
Straits of Korea.
The press Is informed that the unpub-
lished portion of the official dispatch, the
contents of which were sent by a wireless
dispatch to Vladivostok before the arrival
OF the cruiser Almaz there. says that the
Kniaz Souvarof was blown up by sub
marine boats. Captain Chagin gives the
number of Japanese torpedo boats part1c-
ipating in the attack as eighty.

speaking of the Russian naval defea.,
said:
II consider Admiral Rojestvensky' US
action in forcing the Korean Straits a
very daring and hazardous undertake

My opinion was (and this opinion was
shared by other naval officers. includ-
ing Captain Mahan) that there would
be no engagement and that the Rus
slams would be allowed to get to Vlad-
ivostok. 1 did not think the Japanese
would risk an engagement on which
depended their all.
