Such a catalogue of overwhelming Ills see fly past precedent and Is all terribly true. The Japanese report of the capture of Rojestvensky la direct and exact, but St. Petersburg insists that the Admiral has escaped. The Admiralty authorities there In Slat that be has reached Vladivostok, and the London Standard prints dlapatoh from Its correspondent In th< Russian capital In which he asserts that Maes. RojestTeoaky has reoelve< a telegram from Vladivostok signet by her husband, saying that be had arrived there on board the cruiser Al maz, and that he was severely wound ed In the neck, back and abdomen. Against this is placed the olrcum report received by the Jape Etnbaasy that the commander i captured on Saturday evening off the Coman Island of Urelung, with another admiral and eighty other Ruaslans, Including staff officers. It seems undoubted that the Almaz has leached Vladivostok, and In addition to bearing some one who at any rate claims to be Rojestventiky, she carries the story that refugees on board were eye witness as of the destruction of two Jagpneae battleship* l It Is a day of strange stories. ^ Admiral Togo Is still scouring Uu flea of Japan in quest of some rem ■ant of the enemy that may have es caped him, but the list of vessels "sunk" and vessels "captured” Isa wonderful one, as It la set out In the official dispatches. Here Is the tally: SUNK. Battleahlpe—Prince Suvaroff, Im perator Alexander III., Borodino, Osbabla, Slasol-Veliki and Navarin. Cruisers—Admiral Naklmoff, De mltri Donskol, Vladimir Monomacb, Svietlana and Zemtehurg.

Ooast Defence Ships—Admiral Ap raxln and Admiral Senyanvln. Deatroyer—Bledovy. Making the terrible total of twenty two ships with an aggregate tonage of 163 411. Row that the glory of the victory and the misery of defeat are written large, the stories of dead and wound edaaen In agony are coming to the front.

The captured ships, with prisoners, am arriving at Sasebo; other prison ers have been landed at Tsu Island; 300 have been brought to I warn I, and the captured vessels are being brought to Japanese ports by prize crews to be refitted and to fly the flag of the Rls log Sun. toqos PoemoK tactically pbbvkct From a score of various sources from crippled Russian war vessels Staggering Into various ports, frun captured Russian rffloers and men, and from the niggardly reports of th< Japanese Naval Bureau, additional facts are learned of the great enoount sr, none of which change the main fake, but all of which add vividness, action and color to the story of th» engagement. „ One Intensely Interesting point— and It Is made by a Russian Inform ant—is that Admiral Togo’s disposi tion of his forces was tactically per feet Not only were his squadror s so floated as to guard both ohaonels, that to the east and that to the west of Tsu island, but he had also pre pared for a deploy of his forces should R ijestvensky split his fleet, and send one division around Japan on the out aide way, while with the other he made a dash for the Sea of Japan and Vladivostok by way of the Ooreau Strait. Togo, with his main squadron, lav off the Oorean coast, In the roadstead of Masampho, while his torpedo flo fan— were disposed beck of Tsu Is pared for any manoeuvre of tin my, and bided hla time. Butin tton to them named foross at hi vice It Is now evident that the Japa nese Admiral had other and Utterally deep-laid aids at his command. Them is little doubt now that the channel on the Japanese side of Tsu Shims, where the eea way le narrow gnd twisted by numerous groups of rocky Islets, specially charted mines worn laid. Moreover, them am many veiled Intimations that submarine boats played a part, inconspicuous bat dreadful, in the fight. And then, perhaps, Togo smiled, when it became evident that Rojest vensky really Intended to maintain his double column formation, and was thus steaming Into aotlon, like the attack of a mamed brigade aoroas an open plain, Togo mu it have smiled, If ever he allowed Jhlmaalf. tbat oo-ori- ental luxury. The fight was to be fought then and them, and Instantly Kamlmura'srqadron steamed through the Broughton Strait—the channel on the Oorean side of Tsu Shims, and stood ready to prevent Rojest vensky’s attempt to retreat southward, or to attack on the enemy’s port column from the south and west. Next In order osme what is called a master move on Togo’s part. Kami- The Jape Had Two Battle ships and Two Orwlsert Saak aad Sev eral Torpedo Boat* Sank. A dispatch from Vladivostok, under date of May 30, says two ships alone Of Vloe Admiral RbjciStvensky *s power ful flotilla, the swift cruiser Almaz and the toi pedo boat destroyer Grozny, He at anchor here today In the curving harbor of Goldenborn, they having separated from the fleet In the early stage of the battle which began in the Korea straits Saturday and headad, in obedience to orders, with fuU speed to Vladlens* ok. Admiral Nebogatoff Is a surrendered mara warysadr 6n the south fttnk, so hoaet. to speak, of the Russians’ pdrt column, composed of cruisers. On the eastern Adyil-v 1 * Kamimura and Uriu held their squadrons further north, ready to head off snob of the Ruaeian ships •a might get through Togo’s lines, or to np to the Strait of Tsu garu and bar the way there, at the ioetant it was reported that any of the enemy were frying to gain the Outside route. TOOO’S DISPOSITION WAS IDEAL. Togo held the £ trait, Indeed, and hM disposition was Ideal. Togo, on the Mlksm, made bis of the battle- Kamimura oom- the heavy cruisers. Acting as aa advance or scout- a number of light Rear-Admiral Togo was pta» side of the Russians’ starboard col umn, that composed of battleships, lay the broken and dangerous shore of Japan. Ahead of the Russians lay Togo's complementary squadrons, and gathered for attack on either side of Psu Snlma, was Togo’s swarm of tor- pedoers. To say nothing of mines and submarines. Togo’s master move lay In steaming to attaek on the port side of the cruiser ooluipn. He thus had the lightest of the Rossi an ships between him and Rojestvensky’s heavier ves sels, and while he was enabled with bis big guns to reach ths doable tar get of cruisers and battleships, the Russian admiral’s free firing was smothered by the line of his own vassals. Not only this, but both Togo and Kamimura were enabled to firs by broadside, while the rear ships of the Russian columns could scarcely use any guns at all, coming on as they did, in line ahead formation. ROJESTVEN8KY 8 SIGNALS DI8REGARED The papers are filled wlthorlticlsms by naval experts on the Rosslan Ad mlral’s obstinacy in too rigid adher ence to his first formation, but in an swer to these It Is stated in St. Peters burg dlspatobm that ths commander’s signals were not followed. That oon- 'union seized the Russian columns tuerelsno doubt, nor is there any that the shelling by the Japanese was terrific and deadly; for aU this part of the fight, it must be under stood, was during the dsyUght of Sat urday, May 27, and before the night attacks by the Japanese torpedoera, completed the confusion of the ene my- As to the submarines It Is on the authority of Captain Roshlnoff, com mander of the armored cruiser Ad miral Nakblmoff, and now a prisoner of war at MoJI, Japan, that his vessel was dsstroyed, either by a mine or submarine vessel. He asserts that bis ship, which led the cruiser column was entering the Oorean Strait, when suddenly there was a tremendous ex plosion, the cruiser rose out of the water, fell back a broken bulk, and Instantly sank, carrying most of her crew down with her. Captain Roshi noff swam to a damaged steam launch which wandered about until Sunday morning, when it was picked up by a Japanese gunboat. The other sur vivors used life boats, and were rescu ed by fishermen. The story of the torpedo boat at tack and toe night pursuit of the shattered Russian fleet has already been told. The fight of Sunday has also baeu referred to, but only In the light of hurried and fragmentary re ports. Fuller and confirmatory dls patches of the action of May 28 are now to hand from Toklo. It was this fight that raged around the Lian court R cks on Sunday afternoon These rook barren Islets, He to the northeast of Tso Shlma. Tnera, ft will be remembered, the batths'Hp* Nicolai I.. and Orel, and the ooast-de f nee ves els Aptaxin and Senysuin surrendered, with about 2 000 prison ers, including Admiral Nebogatt ff while the protected cruder Isumrud getaway, all five having run jUp gauntlet Of Saturdiy’s fight In the Strait, and being headed lor the opeu Sea of Japan. STARTED AFTER A NEW FOE. With the acceptance of the surren der of the four vessels the main force of the Japanese fleet itbpped pursuit and an attempt was made by the Ad miral to get something like a c mpre- bensive report from his captains. Bat the look uts reporing the appearance of a large ves-el lathe so to west, the Japanese orulsers Iwate and Yakumo were dispatched to pursue her. Both orulsers are fleet vessels Of a 21 knot speed and quickly overhauled the enemy which was made out to be the coast defence ship Admiral Ushakcff At 6 o’clock the fljelng Russian was within easy gun range, and she wa* invited to surrender. She refused the batterleg of the two orulsers were turned loose and the Uahakoff was sunk. Her crew of 300 men were rescued by boats and laurches from the Iwate and Yokumo Up through the Strait other fugitive units were seen and chased. At 5 In ths afternoon the armored cruiser Dmitri Donskol was seen In a northwestern direction, and the Japanese light division and a de stroyer flotilla were sent to bring her down. She* was fired on vigorously and as vigorously replied and made a splendid running flghL The destroy- er fl itlHa hung on, however, and when night oame they dosed In and brought down their victim. She was found next miming aground on the south esstera shore of Urleung Island, off the Oorean ooast. The "picking off” process lasted all Sunday long. The protected cruiser Obltose had run northward on the lookout for some scattered prise, when she overhauled a Russian destroyer and promptly blew her up. The pro tected cruiser Nlataka, Id company with the destroyer Muxakumo, light ed a Rnaian dmlroyer le the full light of Sunday noon, aad chased her until she ran aground. And so the flan* day’s work of ohsas and destruction went on, and, from sll reports, it Is still going on, for It sssms to tie Ad miral Togo's drsad determination to ■ink or capture every floating thing that flies ths Russian flag. TELUS OF THE FIGHT. losslan Officers Give feme Details of ths Ttiriblt Battle. “LOOK AT ENGLAND.” A Comparison Between ths Baited States with the Old Country, yet arrived and the signal stations at Askold and R'mskykonakoff Islands reported none in sight. Officers of the Almaz and Grozny say that both fleets bad already sustained terrible lostes when the Almaz and Grozny broke through thf hostile, line. Of the Japanese two battleships had gone down before their eyes, and two cruisers, their sterns high out of the water, seemed ready to plunge fore most to the bottom of the sea. The Jananess torpedo boats played the prin cipal role In the defeat of the Russian fl jet. They were sent In for action again and again under a perfect bal of shot from Ihe Russian rapid firing guns. More than one half of the Jap anese flotilla of torpedo boats was sunk. The Russian fl;et, they say, was even m a sadder pUght. Rajestvensky's flagship, the Knias Suvaroff, and her sister ship, the Borodine, and thecruis era OHlaba and Ural were utterly de stroyed, and when the fog closed down and hid the scene of battle from sight of the speeding ships, a third great Russian battlasbip, the Alexander III, seemed in sore distress but limping northward, putting up a valiant fight against throngs of torpedo boats, and stlU continuing her attacks on the cruisers of the Island empire. Torpedo boats were also dinging around the other ships of the fleet Uke angered wasps, separate flotillas darting In again and again to launch their weap ons. The Almaz, which arrived at her anchorage here Monday evening, bears sears of the battle. Her mizzenmast is shot away, and one of her smoke stacks la pierced by a connon shot. But the Grozny, though engaged for several hours la a running, fight at abort range with a large Japanese de stroyer, shows no signs of the fray. After her oommander, Capt. An- drlffskl had been wounded and an offi cer and three men had b2en killed, the Groz ly succeeded in sinking her oppo nent with a lucky placed shot and reached Vladivostok without further Some Keapeeta la WhleU the Mo her Country ■seme to Have the Advantage at Ua. Oollier’s Weekly thinks that ths United States should pay- higher salaries. Ambassadors do not get enough. Neither do cabinet officers. The President also is underpaided. How lamentable! "Look at England,” says ColUer’s In effect. Extend pavs 3100,000 to V d lieutenant of Ireland, 336,000 to the Speaker of the house of commons— and so forth and so on." "Well, let us accept the Invitation, and look at England. Who pays the taxes In England? We know who pays them here. With us the poor man pays the taxes.

This tariff upon the non-neceasarles amounts to 3170,000,000. From Intc xloatlng liquors the reve nue Is 3160,000,000.

According to the offloers of the Almaz, the fleet under Rojestversky met the Japanese In tbe Scralts of K>rea near Tsu Island and the opposing fleets immediately closed In. Being lightly armored, the Almaz, as had been ordered by Ad. miral Brjustvensky before the battle separated itself from the main fl et at the first bpportunity and headed for V adivoatoksoon after tbe commence- msntof phe action, but not ten soon io observe that tbe losses on both sides In the titanic combat were great.

'*• One of the Russian torpedo boats, either the destroyer Buiny or the Br&vl, ran in and picked up a number of tbe swimmers, one of whom was r cognized through a glass as Admiral R )• stvensky. Um'er a gruelling attack from the Japanese warships, aided by torpedo boats, mines and submarines, tbe Boro- dino, Oolahla and Ural were placed out of action and followed the fUg^hip to the bottom. Tbe fog, which bad raised and low ered Intermlttenly during the morning, began to settle down again, and the distance of the Almaz, which had now succeeded In disengaging herself in the combat from the struggling shlpe, made it difficult for ber to see dearly, but the tffloen are positive that they saw two Japanese battleships disap pear breath the sea before thefreyee, and that two Japanese cruisers appear ed on the point of sinking. The arrival of the Grozny at 11 otcloek today was marked by the same scenes of excitement as those which characterized the advent of tbe Almaz. The correspondent of tbe Associated Prase visited the wounded oommander of the destroyer, Capt. AndrlflNkJ, at the hospital and the oaptaln confirmed tbe details given by the offloers of the Almaz. He described hie combat aa a running fight In which the Grozny was engeged for several hours, finally stak ing ths punning J aptness destroyer. eiler piyi tax than is paid by a one-horse negro farmer In the south.

Wednesday night at Paris an anar chist threw a bomb at a carriage containing Alfonso, King of Spain, and Lambert, President of France, as they were leaving the opera at mid ifight after a gala performance. The bomb exploded without injuring either the President or the King, bat several soldiers belonging to the escort were wounded. ▲ large number of arrests have bean made, Including the person who 1s believed to have thrown the bomb titurod oersooi of oom* plioity In the plot as the latter were seen under the archway of the Louvre with a destructive engine a few min utes before the explosion took place. Great excitement foUowed the ex plosion, rumors spreading immediate ly that tbe threats made by the an arch tote to assassinate King Alfonso when he oame to Paris had been sac oeeefully carried out. It has been kaown very generally In Paris that King Alfonao was added to the anarchist's list of victims marked for slaughter recently, and when the annoucement was made to Amass fortunes by robbing the people in the carrying of light freight. Thus she makes 370,000,000 instead of letting the corporatlous make five times that amount. She owns and operates the telegraph lines, and makes 318 000,000 per year iostead of letting the corporations make it.
