How the Bravl Reached Vladivostok Russian Captain Blew Up Hi Ship Bonaparte to Be Secretary of Navy Opening of Albright Art Gallery Bomb Thrown at King Alfonso. Three damaged Russian cruisers which escaped from Togo's fleet have sought refuge at Manila, where the will probably he dismantled. They art the Aurora, tho Olog and the Jenitchug How the Bravl Reached Vladivostok Lieutenant Dournovo (son of Admirai Dournovo, a member of the council and superintendent of posts , and telegraphs under tho minister of the Interior), who Is tho commander ol the lotucdo boat destroyer Bravl, has telegraphed from Vladivostok to Grand Duko Alexis, the high admiral, an ac count of his venturous voyage, after tho separation of his destroyer from the fleet on the evening of May 27, having In the course of tho afternoon saved 175 officers and men of the bat tleship Oalabla. Tin destroyer suITored considerable damage from a six Inch projectile and w only able to speed 11 miles an hour. The main mast was lowered und the funnels painted white so as to render tivj vessel less conspicuous to the Japanese torpedo boats, sever al of which were seen. On the night of May 29 a steamplpe burst, reducing tho speed to five miles an hour. Lacking coal, all the wooden parts of the destroyer were burned for fuel before she reached Vladivostok. Captain Blew Up Cruiser Izumrud. Ollicial reports of the naval battle are beginning to be received by the em poror and Grand Duke Alexis, the high admiral, the most Important of these reports, revealing the fate of the cruiser Izumrud, being a telegram from her captain. Baron Ferzen, dated June 1, saying that he had blown up the cruiser at the entrance to Vlad imir bay, and briefly describing the battle. Baron Fer.en's report disposes of the statement sent from St. Peters burg that the Izumrud had arrived at Vladivostok. Bitter Feeling Against Nebogatoff. Feeling iu thg admiralty against Rear Admiral Nebogatoff continues to run high In St. Petersburg, the majority of the naval authorities be ing deaf to the appeals of the few who Insist that tho admiral's action In sur rendering his warships should not be condemned until the circumstances be come fully known. The majority say they could forgive anything but surrender and point to the precedent set in tho case of the Russian warship Raphael, which in 1S29, during the Russo-Turkish war, struck its colors to three Turkish ships which surrounded lt. Nicholas I meted out a terrible pun ishment to the olllcers and crew of the Raphael, ordering that all of them should be shot after their exchange, and directing that if the ship should ever be recaptured Its infamous his tory should be blotted out by the total destruction of the vessel. The Raphael, strange to say, was recaptured 34 years later at SInope during the Crimean war, a son of the captain who surrendered her taking part In tho battle, and to this sou fell the task of executing the dead em peror's orders to destroy her. Many naval authorities declare that the em peror should reserve the same fate for Admiral Nebogatoff. Togo Visits Rojestvensky.

TOGO'S BUTTLE SIGNAL. "Empire Is at Stake. You are All Expected to Do Your Utmost." Russian Steamed Up In Double Col umn Japanese Maneuvered Their Ships So as to Have Their Bows - Parallel to the North Side of the Russian Line. A Japanese officer gives the follow hig detailed account of the seaflght off the Tsu Islands which resultod In the destruction of the Russian fleet: "At 6:30 Saturday morning a wire less message reading: 'Enemy's squad ron 's In sight' reached the naval base. This message was transmitted to all our ships by the flagship, with Instruc tions to get' ready for action and the squadron left their rendezvous and headed for the eastern channel ofl Tsushima. "During tho maneuver tho Russian flagship appear?d to the southward at 1:45 o'clock. The Russians stenmed up in double column. The fleet was numerous, but no living being was vis ible. The Russian ships seemed to be in good order. Our ships hoisted the flag of action, the Mikasa signalling 'The destiny of our empire depends upon this action. You are all expected to do your utmost.' "Our first and second divisions turn ed to the Russians' starboard, while the third division kept In close touch with the preceding two divisions. With the Jnpanese ships proceeding In this order, it was 2:13 o'clock when the Russians opened fire. Russian Shots Fell Short "The first two shots fell short of our line and It was some minutes later before wo commenced firing. Then the battle was on with firing from both sides. Our destroyers kept on the port side of the main squadron and In this formation we pressed tho Rus sians against the coast of Klushiu and they were obliged to change their course to the east "We so maneuvered our ships as to have their bows paralleled to the north side of the Russian line. Tho Mik asa, of our first division, which had been leading, changed to the rea of the line, while the Kasuga headed the line. The engagement now became very fierce. The Borodino was seen to be on fire. A little later tho Rus sians headed west and we changed our course accordingly. "Five ships of our second dlvMon concentrated their fire on the Boro dino. Our first division now began firing vigorously, proceeding parallel with the Russian line, and as we be gan to press against the head of the Russian line-our third division veered to the Russian rear, thus env?lonlng their ships. This state of envelopment continued until the following day, with the ships at varying distances. "Thus enclosed on all sides, the Rus sians were helpless and powerless to escape the circle. Previous Instruc tions had been given the destroyers and torpedo boats to attack the Rus sian ships. Following instructions, tho fifth destroyer flotilla advanced against a Russhn ship upon which the second division had been concentrat ing fts fire, signaling: 'We are going to give fho last fhrust at them.' Torpedo Boats Sink Russian Ship, "Tho Russian ship continued to fight and seeing the approaching tor pedo boats, directed Its fire on them. Undaunted, our destroyers pressed forward, tho Chltose meantime cot. tin uing its fire. The torpedo flotilla ar rived within 200 metres of the Russian ship and the Shlranus fired tho first shot. Two other torpedo boats fired one each. The Shlranus received two shells, hut the other boats were not damaged. The Russian ship was completely sunk. "Sundown saw the battle raging fur iously. Our sljells were evidently telling on the Russians, who showed signs of confusion. "After dark all tho destroyers flo tilla, dividing Into two squadrons, proceeded to attack the Russians dur ing the whole night. The Russians frustrated the first and second at tacks with searchlights. A third at tempt was carefully made and the Yuglri sank a ship of the Borodino type and also hit others. "Our ships always kept ahead of tho Russians. The battle was resumed at 9 o'clock Sunday morning; 12 miles east of Chlyupyon bay, and lasted all day. Here tho Russians suffered tfeir heaviest losses. They seemed unpre pared to repel night attacks. During our first night attack tho Russians showed nlnu searchlights and frus trated tho attacks, but clearly gave us the location of tho fleet, which brought success later." TREPOFF'3 INCREASED POWER. Expected to Do For Whole Empire What He Has Accomplished In the Capital. St. Petersburg, June G. General Trepoff went to Tsnrskon-Selo to thank the emperor for his appointment ns assistant, minister of the Interior and to confer with his majesty regard ing tho exorcise of tho great, powers and heavy responsibility entrusted to him by the ukase which was published In the Official Messenger this morn ing. In government circles the appoint ment of General Trepoff as assistant minister of the Interior, widening tho scope of his aitfhnrlly so that he may accomplish In the whole eniplro what lie- has done In St. Petersburg slncu Jon. 22, Is regarded as an obvious utc; In St Petersburg for tho emperor t take If ho Is determined not to aban don tho fundamental principles ol Russian rule and transform the au tocracy Into a limited monarchy of the West European type. It Is claimed that Trepoff, since his appointment as governor general ol St. Petersburg, has maintained ordei here, has prevented a recrudescence of the tumults of Jan. 22 without loss of lire and has handled the situation with the needed firmness, yet wlthoul giving cause for complaint, as the late Von Plehve did, by the adoption of unnecessarily stringent and arbl trnry measures. Trepoff Is one of tho busiest and most energetic officials in Russia und he requires the tame long hours of at tcntlon to duty from his staff. The general Is at his desk Bhortly after 1 o'clock In the morning and his subor dinates are expected to be on duty at 9 o'clock. He will not remove his headquarters to the ministry of the Interior but will direct the affairs of. his new position from his present chancellory In the St. Petersburg general government, One of Trepoff's secretaries said that It was realized that precautions taken for the safety of their chief must now bo redoubled and the promi nence of his new office and the feeling of the radicals that he was appointed as dictator to put down the reform movement will make him a mark fot the terrorists no matter how moderate ly he may execute his duties. It Is not considered Improbable that the general may find Immediate em ployment for his new powers at Mos cow whore the social democrats and social revolutionists are planning to hold conventions this week simultan eously with Shlpoff's zemstvo congress to which It is now proposed to give wider scope, the mayors of all the cities in Russia having been invited to send delegates and take a stand In re gard to the continuance of the war. The announcement that Minister ol the Interior Bouligln has tendered his resignation Is coupled with the report that he did so partly perhaps on ac count of the augmentation of powers of his subordinate Trepoff, but chiefly because the work of his commission is finished and tho project for the call ing of a national assembly is In the hands of the ministers. The Novoe Vremya asserts that The Russ was In error In declaring that the report of the Bouligln commission does not formally outline the form and functions of the proposed assembly, and the Novoe Vremya gives the prin cipal points of what It claims Is the new project. In brief It Is said to provide for a body of 400 to COO mem bers with limited rights of Interpella tion, but having the Initiative In legis lation and power of discussing the budget and auditing expenditures, Woman's Battle With an Eagle.
