The J
j Fleet Now in Manila BayManila,
Juno 3.?Rear Admiral
j Enquist, who was commander of the
| heavy cruiser squadron of the Russian
fleet, arrived in the bay at 9
o'clock ibis morning on board his
flagship, the protected cruiser Aurora,
accompanied by the protected cruisers
Gleg and Jemtchug. ill the
vdobbio were more er ;ess uamugeu
and there were many wounded men
on board.
Rear Admiral Train on board bis
flagship, the battleship Ohio, with
the Wisconsin, OregoD, Raleigh and
Cincinnati was outside Corregidor
island nianeouvering wben the
Aurora saluted with thirteen guns
and the Ohio answered. Admiral
Train and bis squadron, accompanied
the Russian vessels to Manila.
In the present circumstances vessels
of either of th6 belligerent
nations would be permitted to remain
at a neutral port oDly 24 hours;
or, if the ships were unseaworthy

make the necessary temporary repairs,
in order that they might reach
their nearest home port. "What, if
any, request Admiral Enquist may
make concerning the disposition of
the vessels, is not koown here. He
may a9k that the vessels be interned
at Manila. Such a request would be
granted by this government. The
cruisers then would be in a position
precisely similar to that of th6 Russian
ship Lena, which about ten
months ago was interned at San
Francisco.
ENQUIST INTERVIEWED
In an interview, Rear Admiral Enquist's
executive officer said:
' When the battle began the admiral
was aboard the cruiser Oleg
which was hit a number of times by
large shot. There was an increased
rain of shot from quick firing guns,
and the ship was soon badly damaged.
"The admiral transferred his flag
to the Aurora, which then drew the
combined fire of many torpedo boat
destroyers at close range and the attack
of submarines. We were overwhelmed
by the latter. A mist aris
n i ? a -
lDg, we maae a aasn lor the open sea
and were followed by the Oleg and
the Jemtchug.'
Rear Admiral Eoquist is uninjured.
Capt. Egoreff, of the Aurora, was
killed by a shell, which struck the
conning tower, and he was buried at
sea the day before reaching Manila.
On the Aurora three officers were
wounded, twenty of the crew were
killed and 83 were wounded.
The losses on the Oleg were 13 of
the crew killed and 18 wounded. <
On the Jemchug the casualties j
were 21 junior officers killed and 1
wounded, 12 of the crew killed and .
30 wounded. 1
From their appearance, the Russian i
vessels are not damaged below the
water line. Their funnels, however, j
are riddled by large and small shot, j
Several large shells pierced the cruisers
amidships and a number of guns

WANT TWO WEEKS* TIME
Manila, June 4?(11 a. m.)?Rear
Admirals Train and Eoquisfc are now
conferring in reference to the Russian
warships which arrived yesterday.
According to an unofficial reDorfc
o r
Rear Admiral Eoauist asks for fourteen
days' time in which to repair,
coal and provision his vessels. It is
said further that be alleges that the
ships are uneeawortby and are damaged
below the water line. Rear Admiral
Train will probably, appoint a
board to investigate the condition of I
the Russian vessels. Both he and
Rear Admiral Enquist are working
in harmony.
Thirty-four seriouBly wounded Russian
sailors were placed in the naval
hospital at Cavite today. Rear Admiral
Enquist left the scene of the
fighting before the battle was finished
and be did not learn the final details
until he reached Manila.
HEAVILY DAMAGED
Manila, June 4.? Rear-Admiral
Train has appointed the following
board to investigate tbe condition of
the Russian warships which arrived
here yesterday and satd to be in unssaworthy
condition:
Commander Calkins, Lieut. Commanders
McElroy and Thomas Cirpenter
Harding, i
Rear-Admiral Train has offered the
Russian ships the necessary coal in
lieu of fourteen days here, but there
is a question whether the Russians
will be able to carry such quantitiy
of coal on account of their damaged
hulls.
The deaths today aboard the Russian
Bhips now bring the total of
killed up to forty-one, and there are
five additional cases in the hospital.
American navy surgeons are assisting
the Russi&Q surgeons in their work
of caring for the wounded. RearAdmiral
Eoquist now claims that he
lost his flagship in the naval fight
and then transferred his flag to the
Aurora and left the fight Saturday
night. He said that he did net know
that the fight was continued Sunday.
He declared that the Japanese attack
was so sudden and ferocious that his
section was completely overwhelmed.
The ships of his section while attempting
to reach Yiadivc&tok were
at the same time looking for a fight
with the Japanese and when they
encountered their opponents fought
gallantly.
The Russian ships steamed into
Manila at a speed of fifteen knots.
The Russians are now taking on food
supplies.

! today- After the usual greetings had
been exchanged, Governor Wright
asked:
''Admiral Eoquist, do you wish to
stay at Manila permaneutl}?"
Rear Admiral Eoquist replied:
"Hy ships are uoeeaworthy. I have
not heard from my government and
I request time to make repairs.
Governor "Wright then said that
according to his construction of the
neutrality laws ;fche Russian vessels
could remain long enough to make
necessary repairs atd after these
were finished, they mu6t leave within
24 hours, or dismantle and interne.
Rear Admiral Eiquist requested
permission to bring his ships behind
the breakwater for repairs. This
rr quest was granted him and the

OLEG SUFFERED MOST.
Manila, Juae 4 ?The naval board
which has examined into the condition
of the Russian warships here reports
that the Oleg will require sixty
days, the Aurora thirty days and the
Jemtchug seven days to effect repairs.
Admiral Eoquiet has requested permission
to repair here saying that he
would be unable to sail except in a
smooth sea. on account of his
vessels needing pitching near the
water line.
The Japanese consul at Manila
called on Governor-General Wright
twice today to make inquires regarding
the disposition of the Russian
vessels
FVOTTTST TS HF AFT-RRnFFX
Rear-Admiral Enquist and staff
then called upon Major General Corbin,
to whom Rear Admiral Eoquist
expressed great gratitude for the hospitality
and comfort afforded them
aud the courtesy with which General
Corbin offered the use of army
hospitals together with surgeons and
food for the Russian soldiefs. General
Corbie, said:
"Admiral, how many Admirals
were there in the fight?"
"There were four of us," said the
Admiral. The others are in better
luck than I."
The tears were streaming down the
Russian officer's face as he said this.
MUST INTERNE.
Washington, June 5.?Admiral
Eaquist will not be allowed to repair
his ships at Manila. This
government has decided that as the
injuries to the vessels were not
caused by the sea or storm they will
be obliged to refuse permission for
the vessels to be repaired there.
Today, Secretary Taft cabled the
following instructions to Gov. Wright
at Manila regarding the ships:
' Ticne cannot be given for the repair
of the injuries received in battle.

Therefore fcbe vessels cannot be repaired

Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly. It was stated by
Secretary Taft that if the Russians
vessels agreed to leave Manila in
their present condition they were
welcome to do so, but as it did not
appear that they suffered from any
damage by the sea or storm this
government was obliged to take the
position above outlined.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Well, as the rain has ceased and
the Bun has come out, I will again let
you hear from me.
Most of the people in this section
are turning the soil and killing grass
these warm sunshiny days.
Mr. D. F. Neese formerly of
Swansea but now of Dry Fork, Va.,
is visiting: his many relatives and
friends in this vicinity. Darling is
as jovial as ever.
The little infant daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. M. L. Martin, who has been
quite ill for some time, is much
better.
Mr. Ben Jeffcoat, spent last
Saturday night and Sunday with his
sister and brother in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. W. E Harsey.
Mrs. Rachael Jeflfeoat of the Pond
Branch section, who was veTy
severaly hurt some time ago by her
cow, is improving slowly. We are in
hopes of seeing her well again soon.
Rev. McGill of Brookland, will
preach at Antioch Baptist church, on
the next second Saturday evening
and Sunday morning. We hope all
who can will come out to hear him.
How many grown women can look
back at their childhood and feel that
if they bad only been understood by
their elders, much misery and real
agony would have been spared tbem
and much happiness added to their
present life? Children are children,
it is true, but no two of them are
alike. A kind word and loving caress
will go a great deal further with some
child's nature than punishment. It
is a strange provision of Mother
Nature that a child often embodies
the character of an ancestor several
venerations back instead of the parents.
Too often this is not understood,
and the mode and disposition
which would tend and obey a gentle
treatment is subjected to a harsh
jne. It is a safe course to exhaust
svery resource of gentleness and love
oefore taking to a rod. I do not beieve
in the maxim "spare the rod
md spoil the child." I prefer "love
;he child and it will love and comfort
pou in your later years. The marks
)f a punisment unjustly given often
remain on the mind throughout life,
ind a kiss given at a right moment
jften brings forth a harvest of love.
The members of the Antioeh Baptist
church are preparing to have the
jhurch repaired and some improvements
made on it.
Inward religion without the outward
show of it is like a tree without,
fruit, useless; and the outward show'
)f religion without inward sincerity's
like a tree without heart, lifeless.
