our defeat and perhaps my subordn-

done. but at all events we who have
fought the battle were not thieves"
said Admiral Rojestvensky, who ad-
dressed the imperial technical society
upon the causes of the defeat of the
Russians in the battle of the Sea Of
Japan.
The admiral made no specifications
regarding rascality in the construc-

mented at length upon the destructive
effect of the heavy Japanese shells
which, when they only exploded in the
water near the Russian vessels.
cracked their plates and opened great
leaks, while those which hit the Rus
sian ships squarely were as destruc-
tive as mines.
A young lieutenant, during the dis
cussion, attempted to lay the blame on
submarine boats, but the admiral de-
MED that submarine boats or mines
were used during the engagement.
