Heart Trouble Was Brought About BY
Injuries Received at the Time Japan

Badnahuelm, Germany. July 30
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, who CON
manded the 1ll-fated Russian dee
which was annahiliated BY til.
Japanese in the sea Of Japan in May
1905, died here last night from hear,
trouble.
It is believed that the heart affec
tion resulted from injuries received
by Admiral Rojestvensky in the battle
Of the sea of Japan.
Sinovi Petrovitch Rojestvensky was
about 60 years Of age, and for many
years bore the reputation Of being one
of the most cool headed and scientific
naval officers in the Russian service.
During the late war between Rus.
sia and Japan, Admiral Rojestvensky
was ordered in August, 1904, to take
his sQuardron from the Baltic to
Vladivostok.
Entering the straits of Tsushim, the
Russian fleet was attacked by the
Japanese on the afternoon Of May 81.
The battle lasted until the after
noon Of May %. The Kniaz souyar-
OF. the flagship Of Admiral Rojest-
1yensky. was blown up; the admiral
himself injured, was rescued BY a
Russian torpedo boat destroyer which
was afterwards captured by the Jap
anses, who took Rojestvensky pri-
soner.
A naval court Of injury Of June l,
1906 presented an indictment against
Admiral Rojestvensky for surrender
ing to the enemy, but on July 10 the
admiral was acquitted.
