Vladivostock, May 30, 4:30 p.
m,?Two ships alone of Vice Ad .
miral Rojestvensky's powerful ^
fleet, the swift cruiser Almaz and
the torpedo boat destroyer Grozny
lie at anchor here today in *
the curving harbor of Golden
Horn, they having separated from '
the fleet in the early stage of the
battle which began in the Korea 8
Straits Saturday and headed in
t
obedience to orders, with full ^
speed to Vladivostock.
Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon X
no other vessels ol the Baltic fleet C
c
had yet arrived and the signal

?
Officers of the Almnz and
Grozny say that both fleets had (
already sustained terrible losses
when the Almaz and Grozny e
broke through the hostile line.
Of the Japanese two battleships x
had gone down before their eyes *=
and two cruisers, their sterns high ^
1
out of the water, seemed to plunge J
foremost to the bottom of the sea. I
The Russian fleet, they s iy w <s 1
even in a sadder plight. Kojest- v
vensky's flagship, the Kniaz '
ciuuvarun. and tier sister?hip, the
Borodiuo, and the cruisers Oslabia
and Ural were utterly destroyed 1
and when the fog closed do vn and n
hid the scene of battle from sight r
of the speeding ships, a third "
great Russian battleship, the \
Alexander 111, seemed in sore c
distress, but limping northward, 1
putting up a valiant fight against s
throngs of torpedo boats unci still n
continuing her attacks on the 1
cruisers of the island empire. 0
Torpedo boats were also clinging
round the other ships of the fieet
like angered wasps, separate c
flotillas darting in again and again 9
to launch their weapons.
l'he Almaz,which arrived at her *
anchorage here Monday evening,
bears scars of the battle. Her '
mizzenmast is shot away, and (
one of her smoke utecksis pierced t
by a cannon shot. Rut the Gro- <
. A. t 1 * ^ "
/.iiv, uiougn engaged tor several 1
hours in a running fight at nhort ^
range with a large Japanese de- j
stroyer, shows no signs of the J
fray. After her comm inder,
Capt Andriflfski, had been wounded
and an officer and three men
had been killed, the Grozny succeeded
in sinking her opponent (
with a luckily placed shot. s
As the Alma/, dropped anchor *
excitement beyond description
seized the spectators, who, with t
frantic "huzzas," tossed high their \
caps. Citizens embraced each 1
other and danced jubilantly upon <
the pier, while the crews of the i
ships in the harbor joined in wild j
cheering. It a trice the boats
were dropped from the davits and i
in a moment the officers of the (
cruisers and torpedo boats in the r
lmrbor and the military officials
from the fortress were swarming
on board the Almaz to learn news
of the fight.
The story was short. Accord- 1
ing to the officers of the Almaz '
the fleet under liojeitvensky met (
the Japanese in the Straits of
Korea, near Tsu Island, and the i
opposing fleets immediately clos- i
ed in. Being lightly armored, c
the Almaz bad been ordered by (
Admiral Kojestvensky, before the (
miin fleet at the fir-it opportunity
mil it headed for Yhdivosb c'\
oon after the commencement of
he action, but not too soon to
dtservc that the los*os on both
i.lcs in the titanic combat was
p'eat.
Karly in the battle an officer of
he Almaz, while watching Koestvensky's
flagship, the battlehip
Kuiaz Souvuroff, for a signal
aw the flagship shudder from
tern to stern as if under a blow
rum a gigantic hammer, and hestate
in her course, while the
vaves rose hich from hm*
? ? '""1 <-? <
ides. Then she commenced to
ist and sink. The ofiiceis believe
hat the debut of ihc submarine
loat as an effective ugent in naval
warfare, or perhaps a large mine
aused the disaster to the Kniaz
iouvaroff. The damage, howver,
was so extensive that the
lagship soon went down, leaving
he deck officers and many of the
rews struggling in the waves.
One of the Russian torpedo
oats, eith-'r the dostioycr Btiiny
?r the Bravi, rati in and picked up
i number of the swimmers, one of
rhom was recognized through a
dass as Admiral Rojesl veil sky.
Jnder a gruell ng attack from the
apanesc warships, aided by t u*>cdo
boats, mines and submarine,
h" I'orodina, Osliabia and Ural
verc phiced out of action t id f?lo
ved the flagship to the b ttom.
The fog whi *h h id raised and

norning began to settle dow
gain and the distance < f the Alnaz,
which liad now succeeded in
lisengnging herself in the? eomhal
rom the struggling ships m ule it
lifficult for her to sec clearly, but j
ho officers are positive that they i
aw two Japanese battleships dis
ppear beneath the sea before
heir eyes and that two Japanese
ruisei s appeared on the noi nt nf

inking.
The arrival of the Grozny at i i i
i
>'clock today was marked by the |
ame scenes of excitement as those I
vhich characterized the advent of,
he Almaz.
The corespondent of the As- :
ociatcd Press visited the woundid
commander of the dcstro\er,
^ ptain Andiiffski, at the l?os;>?al
and the captain confirmed tin
letails given by the officers of the
\lmaz. He described his combat
is a running fight, in which the
irozny was engaged ior several
murs, finally sinking the pursuing
apanese destroyer.
