READY TO
 HEP TOGO Englan@ Resolved on Flgs Destruction. CHANGE OF RoJESTvENSKY Had He Whipped Japan's Ships,
 End Was Not Come. Great Surprise over Publication of Sensational Accusations as to
 the Intentions of Great
 Britain.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 3.-The remark able allegation that the British fleet was held in readiness to destroy the Russian fleet if the battle of the sea of Japan had gone in Russias favor is made by Admiral Rojestvensky in a letter published in The Novoe Vremya today, with the permission of the Min ister of Marine
 Referring to the absolute secrecy of Admiral Togo in regard to the dispo- sitfon of his forces, Rojestvensky de- clares that This was unknown even to the admiral of the British fleet allied with the Japanese, who concentrated his force at Wei-Hai-Wei in expecta- tion of receiving an order to annibi- late the Russian fleet, if this, the final object of Great Britain, was beyond the power of the ,Japenese."
 The charge that the British Admi ral concentrated his ships at Wei-Hai Wei, expecting to receive an order to destroy the Russians in the event of Admiral Togo proving unequal to the task, has aroused considerable sensa tion in diplomatic circles, all the more so as Admiral Rojestvensky's letter was published with the permission of the Minister of Marine, and no doubt is entertained that 1t will be made the subject of diplomatic representation to Great Britain.
 From Admiral Rojestvensky's account of his tactics in the battle of the Sea of Japan. published in the Novoe Vrem- va today, the reader is almost con vinced that the Russian commander outmaneuvered Admiral Togo at every point and was himself the real victor. He declares he knew Admiral Togo's exact whereabouts two days before the battle, made his dispositions accordingly and entered the fight with his eyes open. The Admiral only casually states in the course of his letter that the Min ister of Marine Is Investigating the causes of the catastrophe in order to determine whether the commander shall be courtmartialed for the loss of the fleet.
