DEATH FOR SURRENDER
REAR ADMIRAL NEBoGAToFF AND
THREE OTHERS CONDEMNED.
Court Martial, However, Will Petition
Gar to Commute Sentences to
Ten Years imprisonment.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 25.-The court
martial which has been trying Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff and rs officers of
his squadron for surrendering to the
japanese at the battle of the Sea of
Japan on May 2S, 1905, handed in its
decisions Monday night.
Vice Admiral Nebogatoff, Command
er Lichino, of the coast defense iron
clad General Admiral Apraine; Rear
Admiral Grogorfeff, of the coast de-
fence ship Admiral Seniavin, and
Lieutenant Smirnoff, who succeeded
to the command of the battleship Mic
OLAF L., We're sentenced to death But
in view of eXtenuating circumstances
and the long and otherwise blameless
careers of these officers, the court
will petition the emperor to commute
their sentences to ten years impris-
onment in fortress. Four other Off
GERS were sentenced to short terms of
Imprisonment in fortress, while the
remainder were acquitted of the
charges brought against them.
The sentences passed upon Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff and the three
commanders are similar to those hand
ed down in the cases of the naval Off
GERS who were condemned by court
martial for surrenderlng the torpedo
boat destroyer Bedovi to the Japan
csc. These sentences were coupled
with a similar recommendation to the
emperor for mercy, and such interces-
sion generally has proved successful.
The lawyers for the defense in the
Nebogatoff trial, a majority of whom
are active politicians, devoted most of
their attention to the political aspects
of the case.
The government prosecutor, in hrs
closing address, declared that the in
fiction of the death penalty under
these circumstances was out of har-
mony with the spirit of the times, but
that the guilt of the officers in oues-
ton found no example in history. Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff, he averred, could
at least have transferred all his com.
mands to one battleship and then
sunk the rest of his squadron. The
rear admiral made an emotional reply
In which he dwelt upon the ignor-
ance of the prosecutor who, he said,
has worn the uniform of the navy for
only one year.
The trial of Rear Admiral Neboga-
toff and the officers of his squadron
began in st. Petersburg on December
B. The accused were divided into
three categories:
First-Rear Admiral Nebogatoff and
the commanders of the battleships.
Second-The officers who advocated
the surrender.
Third-The officers who did not en-
deavor to prevent the surrender.
The first group Of officers were tried
under that paragraph of the navy reg
ulations which provides for the pun.
1shment by death of any commander
of squadron or ship who surrenders
without a fight when he could save
his crew or inflict damage upon the
enemy.
