in duel with Sandhamms formidable
masked batteries.
At 10 o'clock this morning they were
still exchanging broadsides at ten
minutes interval
The victims transported to Helsing-
fers numbered less than fifty, of whom
fifteen are dead. but thus far the num-
ber of killed or wounded in the Svea-
berg hospitals has not been ascertain
able.
Order has been restored at Skatud-
den island where 10 sailors and IL
civilians have been disarmed.
From civilian point of view the
local situation is easier.
No cruisers are visible. Troops are
expected here but the destruction of
the bridge near the Ripimaeki railroad
station and the tearing up of the per-
manent way at several points delays
the arrival of reinforcements.
The town is quiet. and business is
proceeding, but workmen are on a
strike.
The naval squadron, including the
battleship Slava, is reported to have
sailed from Reval this afternoon for
Sveaberg.
The telegraph building here has been
ruined and the barracks and cathedral
have been badly damaged by fire of
the 11-inch guns.
The number of wounded and killed
have probably been over-estimated.
