How the Bravl Reached Vladivostok Russian Captain Blew Up His Ship Bonaparte to Be Secretary of Navy Opening of Albright Art Gallery Bomb Thrown at King Alfonso. Three damaged Russian crulserf which escaped from Togo's fleet have sought refuge at Manila, where the will probably be dismantled. They art the Aurora, the Ok'g and the Jemtchug 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 lorucdo bout destroyer Bravl, hae telegraphed from Vladivostok to Grand Duko Alexis, the high admiral, an ac count of hl3 venturous voyage, after the separation of his destroyer from tho fleet on the evening of May 27, having In the courso of the afternoon saved 175 officers and men of the bat tleship Oslabla. Th destroyer suffered considerable damage Irom a six Inch projectile and wo only able to speed 11 miles an hour. The main mast was lowered and tho 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 the 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. Official reports of the naval battle are beginning to be received by the em peror 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 Forzen's report disposes of the statement sent from St, Peters burg that the Izumrud had arrived at Vladivostok. Bitter Feeling Against Nebogstoff. Feeling In thf admiralty against Rear Admiral NebogatofI 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 the 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 1829, during the Russo-Turklsh war, struck its colors to three Turkish ships which surrounded it.a Nicholas I meted out a terrible pun ishment to the officers 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 son fell tho task of executing the dead em peror's orders to destroy her. Many naval authorities declare that tho em peror should reserve the same fate for Admiral Nebogatolf. Togo Visits Rojestvensky.

TOGO'S BATTLE SIGNAL " Empire Is at Stake. You are All Expected to Do Your Utmost" Russians 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 giveB tho follow ing detailed account of the seaflght off the Tsu Islands which resulted In the destruction of the Russian fleet: "At 5:30 Saturday morning a wire less message reading: 'Enemy's squad ron 's In Bight' reached the naval base. This messnge 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 of! Tsushima. "During tho maneuver the -Russian flagship appear?d to the southward at 1:45 o'clock. The Russians steimed 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 Mlkasa 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 cIobo touch with the preceding two divisions. With the Japanese 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 we commenced firing. Then the battle was on with fifing from both sides. Our destroyers kept on the port side of the main squadron and In this formation we pressed the 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 lino. Tho Mlk 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 Dorodlno was seen to be on fire. A little later the Rus sians headed west and we changed our course accordingly. "Five ships of our second dlvHon 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 enveloping 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 tho destroyers and torpedo boats to attack the Rus sian ships. Following Instructions, tho fifth destroyer flotilla ndvaced against a Russian ship upon which the second division had been concentrat ing Hs fire, signaling: 'We are going to give the last fhrust at them.' Torpedo Boats Sink Russian Ship, "The Russian ship continued to .fight and seeing the approaching tor pedo boats, directed Its fire on them. Undaunted, our destroyers pressed forward, the Chltose meantime cot. tin ulng 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, but the other boats were not damaged. The Russian ship was completely sunk. "Sundown saw the battle raging fur iously. Our sholls 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 Yuglrl sank a ship of the Dorodlno type and also tilt others. "Our ships always kept ahead of the Russians. The battle was resumed at 9 o'clock Sunday morning; 12 miles east of Chlyupj'on bay, and lasted all day. Here the Russians suffered trelr heaviest losses. They seemed unpre pared to repel night attacks. During our first night attack tho Russians showed nine searchlights and frus trated tho attacks, but clearly gavo us the location of tho fleet, which brought success later." TREPOFF'S INCREASED POWER. Expected to Do For Whole Empire What He Has Accomplished In the Capital. St. Petersburg, June C. General Trepoff went to Tsarskoo-Selo to thank the emperor for his appointment ns assistant minister of the Interior and to confer with his majesty regard ing the exercise 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 tho Interior, widening tho scope of his aiv'hority ro that he may accomplish In the whole eniplro what lie has dono In St. Petersburg since Jan. 22, Is regarded as an obvious stct In St Petersburg for the emperor t. take If he is determined not to aban don tho fundamental principles ol Russian rule and transform the au tocracy into a limited monarchy of th 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 life and has handled the situation with the needed firmness, yet without giving cause for complaint, as the luto Von Plehve did, by the adoption of unnecessarily stringent and arbl trnry measures. TrepoiT is one of tho busiest and most energetic officials in Russia and he requires the same long hours of at tention to duty from his staff. The general Is at his desk shortly after 7 o'clock in the morning and his subor dinates are expected to be on duty at 9 o'clock. He will not remove his headquartors 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 be 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 foi 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 where the social democrats and social revolutionists are planning to hold conventions this week slmultan 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 fotmally outline the form and functions of tho proposed assembly, and the Novoe Vremya gives the prin cipal ioInts 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. Watklns, N. Y., June 0. Near Odes sa, Schuyler county, Mrs. Laverne Wlckham had an encounter with a large eagle. She saw the monarch of the skies trying to carry oft a full grown turkey and without a moment's hesitation Mrs. Wlckham, armed with a broom handle the most popular weapon of her sex rushed at the eagle. The eagle Instead of doing the shoo-fly act dropped the turkey and at tacked Mrs. Wlckham, tearing her clothing to shreds and scratching hei arms and hands.
