BY COURT.
Four Officers of a Torpedo Boat We're
Condemned to Be Shot But Their
Sentence May BE COMMITTED by the
Car.

Cronstadt, July 1O.-Admiral Rojest-
venslly, whose trial on the charge of
surrendering to the enemy after the
battle Of the Sea of Japan, began be-
fore the courtmartiaI here July 4,
was acquitted today after the court
had deliberated for nearly ten hours.
-Four officers Of the torpedo boat de-
stroycr Bodovi, who were placed on
trial with the admiral, were found
guilty of having premeditativcly sur
rendered the Bodovi and all four were
condemned TO death by shooting, but
ON account of eXtenuating circum-
stances, the emperor will be requested
to commute the sentences of the four
officers to dismissal from service and
to be deprived of certain rights which
they would have otherwise enjoyed.
Full report of the CrOnstadt court
martial shows that Admiral Rojestven-
sky was acquitted on the ground that
he was not IN his full senses and
therefore was not accountable for what
transpired at the time of the surrender.

and all depends upon the possibility of
identification which several stage pas
