Washington Notified.
Washington, June 5.-The navy de-
partment Saturday received cable
gram from Vice Admiral Train, dated
| Manila, stating that while cruising off
Lingayen gulf Saturday morning he
sighted three Russian vessels, the
| Aurora. the Oleg and Jemtchug, close
| in shore. He said he found many
| wounded on board and escorted the
| vessels to Manila. The admiral added
| that he would send further particulars
Sunday. This cablegram was received
at the navy department shortly after
| the bulletin from Manila and was
transmitted by Admiral Converse,
| chief of the bureau Of navigation, to
Secretary Morton at his residence.
! Earlier in the day Admiral Train
had cabled the navy department that
several warships, supposed to be Rus
slams, had been seen maneuvering off
| the coast Of LuzOn. He further re-
ported that he had started at once
for the port of Sual, about 100 miles
to the northward of Manila on the Gulf
of Lingayen, to investigate.
Admiral Trains dispatch was i'm
mediately sent to the white house by
Secretary Morton, where it was dis
cussed by the president and Secretary
Taft. 1t is said at the state depart
ment that the Russian vessels will be
treated precisely as were those which
arrived in the Chinese ports during
the earlier stages of the war, namely
they will be allowed to remain "a
hours if unchanged and seaworthy.
| Otherwise they may make absolutely
necessary repairs, or lastly they may
be interned until the end of the war.
1t is expected here that the latter
course will be followed.
Ships Must Be Interned.
After a conference at the white
house Saturday afternoon between
President Roosevelt, Secretary Morton
and Attorney General Moody instruc.
lions were sent to Rear Admiral Train
rora, Oleg and Jemtchug, which arrived
there Saturday morning in an injured
condition, must be informed.
How Rojestvensky Was Captured.
Toxic, June 5.-Torpedo boat de
stroyers, which have returned to Sase
DO, furnish details of the capture OIL
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. The de
stroyers Kasumi, Usugumo, Sazanam
and kagerou were ordered to attach
the Russian warships the night o.
May q and were steanning aheat
when they suddenly encountered {
number of Russian ships. The Kasum
narrowly avoided a collision with {
Russian cruiser, the c1oseness O
. which seems to have saved the de
stroyers from being damaged by thu
, heavy fire which the Russians direct
ed on them. During the Russian at
tack the vessels forming the destroys
fiotilla divided. The Sazanami ant
} Kagerou continued the search for Rus
, sian ships throughout the night ant
in the morning discovered two torpedo
J boat destroyers. One of them steamed
away, but the other was unable t,
do SO.
On approaching the latter the Jap
anese discerned a white flag flying
from the foremost and the Red Cros
flag astern. She proved to be tn
: Bedovi with Admiral Rojestvensky an,
his staff on board. The Bedovi sig
nailed that her engines were damage
and that she was short of coal an
water. An armed guard was sent o.
board the Bedovi to receive her SUI
!, render. The Russians requested tn
: Japanese not to remove Admira
Rojestvensky and the other officers O.
! account of their wounds, and the JaI
: aneseS complied with the understand
ing that the guard would execut
Rojestvensky in the event of the de
lay leading to meeting with Russia
: ships, thus running the danger of hi
: recapture. The Sazanami ran a lin
l to the Bedovi and began to wing hel
t The line parted twice. In the morr
: ing the Sazanami met the Japanes
t cruiser Akashi which conveyed tn
e two destroyers to Sasebo.

ing well with no dangerous symptom
r and speedy recovery seems certain.
