pressed his sympathy for the admiral’s
wounds. He praised the desperate-

“The Russjan battleship Oslabaya
was heavily damaged in the early
part of the fight on Saturday, going

The first Russian vessel sunk was
the battleship Sissoi Veliky. The
armored cruisers Admiral Nakhimoff
and Vladimir Monomach, after being
in the geenral engagement during
the day time, were still further dam-
aged by torpedoes during attacks by
night, and were eventually complete-
ly disabled. They drifted into the vi-

were discovered on Sunday morning
(May 28) by the auxiliary cruisers

which were about to capture

of the Navarin’s crew confirm
story of her destruction. The cruis-

Russian cruiser Svietlana at 9 o'clock
on Sunday morning, in the vicinity of
Chappyan bay, and immediately at-
tacked and sank her. The command-
er of the Nytaka reports the fact.
“Later reports show that during
the night of May 27 our torpedo
boats, numbered 34, 353 and 69, were
sunk by the enemy's fire.
Besides the above, there was no
damage worth reporting. No warship
nor destroyer suffered any loss of
fighting or navigating power. We an-
ticipated a heavy loss of life, but find
that our casualties were comparative-
ly slight. They do not exceed 800

FIGHT COST RUSSIA 22 SHIPS
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, With
Another Officer and Eighty
Men, Taken Prisoner.
The official Japanese report on the
latest details of the great naval bat-
tle in the Korean straits is made in a
cablegram received at Washington by
the Japanese legation from the for-
eign office at Tokio, conveying Ad-
miral Togo’s dispatcies up to May
30th.
The report says that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky and another admiral, and
staff officers were taken prisoners on
the sinking of Rojestvensky’'s flag-
ship, the Kniaz Souvaroff, Saturday
night, south of Urleung island, off
Korean coast.
The total number of vessels lost
to the Russians, according to Admir-
al Togo, now reaches 22, and he adds
that, although the full particulars are
not yet in, none of the Japanese
ships was seriously injured, and the
loss to the first division of the Jap-
anese fleet was over 400. The report
says that the armored cruiser Dmitri
Donskoi ran aground on Urleung is-
land; that the battleships Oslabya, al-
ready admitted by the Russian ad-
miralty, and the Navarin, were sunk;
-that the battleship Sissoi Veliky went
to the bottom Sunday morning; that
the coast defense ship Admiral
Oushakoff was sunk after a vigorous
pursuit, her erew being rescued, and

ling attack by the Japanese warships,
aided by torpedo boats, mines and
submarines, the Borodino, Osliabia
and Ural were placed out of action
and followed the flagship.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
“Daily Telegraph” says the com-
pleteness of the Russian defeat was
largely due to a mistaken battle for-
mation. The armored ships were on
the starboard side with cruisers and
gunboats on the port side. The Jap-
anese main force coming from the
northwest attacked the port line first,
and promptly threw it into disorder.
This disorganized the starboard line.
Thus the real action was of very
short duration.
A captured Russian officer describ-
ing the naval battle said the Japan-
ese opened the attack and the Russian
line soon became confused, many ves.
sels. surrendering. Only four of the
vessels of Rojestvensky’s fleet are
known to have reached Vladivostok——
the cruiser Almaz and the torpedo
boat destroyer' Grozny, Bravi and
Terosiahty. The full extent of the
Russian casualties in men and officers
drowned, wounded or captured is not
know. The Japanese losses, as report-
ed from Tokyo, are only about 200
men killed or disabled. Not one of
the big fighting ships of the Japanese
navy was lost. It is now definitely
known that Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky is captured. He is seriously
wounded, but it is stated from Toyko,
will recover.
supposed to have perished.
The reported sinking of the ecruis-
er Jemtchug has not been confirm-
ed, and the name of the cruiser has
been dropped from the list of destroy-
ed vessels. It is suspected that the
protected cruiser Aurora and the
cruiser Almaz were sunk, but posi-
tive confirmation is, lacking. A dis-
patch from Vladivostok
the Almaz had arrived there in a dam-
aged condition.

ATTEMPT TO KILL RULERS
Bomb Thrown at the Carriage of
Alfonso and Loubet.
BOTH ESCAPED WITHOUT INJURY
Carriage Was Returning from Opera
in Paris—Three Suspects Have
Been Arrested.
As King Alfonso of Spain, was leav-
ing the opera at Paris in a carriage
with President Loubet, surrounded by
mounted municipal guards, a bomb
was’ hurled at the cortege and the
voung monarch had a narrow escape
from death.
The Place de L’Opera was packed
with a dense crowd as the king and
his escort rode, surrounded by their
guard. On arriving at the corner of
the Rue de Ropan and the Rue de
Rivoli, just before crossing the Seine,
to return to the palace on the Quai
d'Orsay, someone threw a bomb at
the carriage. It exploded just as the
vehicle was passing, about five feet
away, part of the projectile damag-
ing the rear wheel of the carriage
and killing one of the horses of a
guard.
Eight soldiers were
pieces of the missile. In spite of
great excitement among the crowd
the police closed in and the carriage
continued on its way to the Palais
d’Orsay. There it was found that
many other horses of the guards had
been injured.
M. Lepine, prefect of police,

Russians Had 36 Vessels.
It is now believed that four war-
ships, in addition to those aiready re-
ported lost, have been sunk by the
Japanese fleet.
A warrant officer of the Russian
repair ship Kamtchatka, who landed
at Moji, says:
“Our fleet entered the straits
Korea numbering 36 vessels.
Kamtchatka received several shots
and was partly disabled. Finally a
shot struck a vital part and 60 men
entered the boats. When they were
nearly clear a great expiosion oc-
curred and the ship sank. The cap-
tain and seven officers were killed dur-
ing the battle. Two officers were
wounded and two jumped overboard.
Three other officers were drowned.
We could see our battleships to the
northward enveloped by the Japan-
ese. Seemingly they ‘were badly
damaged.” ,
“When the Kniaz Souvaroff
sunk, Admiral Rojestvensky was
transferred to another vessel, but
was captured off Fumi. He is said to
be severely wounded in the arm. Ad-
mirals Nebogatoff and -Voélkersam
also are prisoners.
The ecaptured Russian battleship
Orel arrived at the Maizuru navy
yard at noon May 30. The battleships
Nikolai I. and Admiral Seniavin and
the coast defense ironclad Admiral
Apraxine, reached Sasebo. It is re-
ported that the Orel and Nikolai I,
are slightly damaged.
