NELSON AND TOGO.
Continued from Yesterday

AT 1890 a. M, May 2S. Admiral
Nebogatoff, with the remnant of the
great fleet, was surrounded. The Ka-
suga opened fire at 10000 yards The
first shot went over, the second fell
short, and the third struck the Nico-
lai's smokestack. Several hits follow
ed. There was no Fesisting-four bat
tered ships lay opposed to twelve
fresh, uninjured ones, and one of that
twelve was now hitting at a range
(which only one gun in the Russian
ships could reach, and that gun hand
icapped in its service. Russian crews
We're exhausted: ammunition scarce
What was left to do? Nebogatoff sur
rendered. Who can say unwisely?
Notes. The Japanese Pinch guns
made probably better than 1876 per
cent of hits. Considering the range,
which must have been near 5000 yards,
and the hazy condition of the at
mosphere, this record is enough to
make all who think, think hard.
The Russians had but two practises
while the fleet lay at NADIA gascar. The
range was short, the ammunition al
loWance meager, and the results unsat-
fsfactory. It is known that of two
range-fnders on a certain ship. one
measured 5000 yards, while the other
gave 1900. No attempt was made to
reduce the errors in these important
instruments, and when you consider
that at 5000 yards the range must be
known to within $50 to insure hitting
the utter unpreparedness of the Rus
slams is apparent. But good gunnery
alone will not win the day Sir John
Fisher has said: The man behind the
gun is great factor, but. however
good he may be, his services Will be
worthless unless he has an admiral
who can put him in the right place at
the right time
The japanese had little to contend
with in the way of interference. The
Mikasa was only hit about four times,
and a British captain is said to have
sat unframed throughout the battle on
the quarterback in an armchair. II
will be remembered that the Russian
admiraTs only signal was to direct
all fire at the Mikasa: other ships were
hit less.
The Russians had no practise
maneuvers with the whole squadron
until the day before the battle; they
held no council Of war and if the ad-
miral had any plan of action it was
not known even to his division com
manders. Only one officer on his staff
had military education. Admiral
Nebogatoff was never in Rodjestven-
sky's confidence, and was only on

the psychological moment arrived; the
rapidity of action with which he OBJ
tanned the tactical advantage that en-
abled him to punish his enemy so Sc

Admiral Togo exhibited still another
quality that excites my admiration.
Many Russian sailors, when their ships
sank. put life preservers round their
hips instead of higher up and turned
head down when they got into the
water, and so were drowned. A great

hit that can not be described by the

MARINE:

Bringing Charles Warren Fairbanks,
ex-Vice President of the United States,
and his party, TO this city, the Togo
Kisen Kaisha liner Chiyo Maru arrived
off port early yesterday morning and
locked at about eight O'Clock. The
Maru had very pleasant voyage down
from the Coast, fair weather being ex-
perlenced the greater part of the way.
She brought 313 bags of mail for Ho-
nolulu and small number of passen-
gers. She continued her voyage 20 the
Orient at six o. clock last night.
Blooded Stock on Lurline.
The Lurline, which arrived yesterday
shortly after the Chiyos Maru, brought
down one of the largest and most val
liable consignments of blooded livestock
that has come here from the mainland
in many day. This included a num-
Der of splendid horses for Charles Bel
lima and for 7. S. Kay. There were a
number of splendid hogs brought down
on the Lurline, these also being for Ho-
nolulu. Twenty-Five mules, consigned to
Davies & Co., were brought down on
the Lurline, and these were sent to Hilo
on the Matson boat when she sailed
from here last night. The Lurline came
down from the Coast very light, her
cargo of general merchandise being
about $500 tons. The principal items
in her cargo were five automobiles for
this city and six gasoline engines for
use on the plantations. The rest of her
cargo was composed mostly of flour,
feed, hay and fertilizer.
The Lurline whistled the news of her
departure for Kahului last night at nine
O'Clock The most of her cargo is for
the other islands, and, after this has
been discharged, she will begin taking
On the usual sugar shipments. Before
returning to Honolulu, the Lurline will
make a call at Hilo.
Captain Willett's Call.
Captain Willett, master of the bark
Foohng Suey, now at Kahului, has writ
ten to Honolulu for sailors, and, as d
result, there is a notice posted IN the
office of the United States Shipping
Commissioner. Ten seamen are want
ed. Captain Willett shipped full crew
Il
but number of his men deserted at the
Maui port. The Foohng Suey has just
begun taking her cargo of sugar for the
return voyage around the Horn.
Treasure on the Maru.
Five hundred thousand dollars in bul
lion was stored away in the vaults OF
: the Chiyo Maru when she passed
through this port yesterday, according
to Purser William Chapman. The
& greater part of this is due for Shanghai
and Hongkong.
According to one of the officers OF
the Toyo kisen, Kaisha line, passing
through on the Chiyo, the Hongkong
Nippon and America Maru will soon
be put on the South American run, but
he also stated. that they would touch
at this port en- route to and from the
Orient and South America.
