Nagasaki, Feb. 14.?The vesids that comprised the Japaaaae leot which attacked and destroyed he Russian cruisers Variag and iorietz at Chemulpo on the Ith nst. were the cruisers Naniwa, Vkachiho, Alcashi, Suma, And the isama.

The survivors from the Variag ind the Korietz, the Russian sruisers that were sunk hy the layanese fleet at Chemulpo lust L'uesday, still inTnain on board he British cruiser Talbot, the Italian cruiser Elba and the French cruiser Rascal. The situation is becoming acute is the Japanese have twice made iemands on the commanders of the three foreign vessels that the Russians be surrendered as prisoners of war. The captain of the ralbot, being the senior naval officer, each time replied that he was r.waiting instructions from fiis government. None of the Russians is on board the American gun-boat Vicksburg, whose commander considers that the Japanese are right in their demand, as the Russians took *$dvsntage ef the clemency of the Japanese in returning to the bar bor, then taking refuge on the foreign vessels and refusing to surrender, whereas the Japanese fleet refrained from sinking them in the open sua as they could have done. A magnificent episede in the battle was the second sortie of the two Russian crusiers. With bands playing the national anthem the international fioet loudly cheering the bravery and gallan try of the Russians, the Variag ind Korietz faced the Japanese fleet in what was deatb. The po litiens of the wreck appear to be luch that it will be easy to re* ;over|tbe guns. The Russian losses were one off cer and 40 men killed and 474 woanded. A dispatch from Chemulpo gives the following account of the destruction of the Russian crusier Variag and gunboat Korietz. The Japanese fleet, commanded bj Admiral Uriu on the flagship Adenurma, arrived at noon and lent a wireless telegram te the Japanese crnsier Ckigoda, which was lying at anchor between the Variag and Korietz, to join ths fleet outside. The Russians found themselves trapped. Admiral Uriu then signalled, giving the Russians five minutes in which to surrender. The Russians ig. nored the demand to surrender and the Japanese opened fire.
