.-THE- HORNING- OREGONIAN, PRlDAY, JTFNE 2, 1M& HOW RUIN Ml to mmm Japanese Officer Tells First Complete Story, of Battle o.f ' Sea. of Japan. - DEAfrBf TORPEDOES' WORK InBesponse to Togo Historic Signal His Tbrec Divisions Envelop the Doomed Armada in ! Circle of Fire- TOKIO. Wednesday. May 31. (2 P. M.) A Japanese officer wh'o'hns re turned to Sasebo gives the following account of the sea fight off Tbu Is lands: "At 9:30 Saturday morning a wire less message, reading: 'Enemy's equadron Is in s-lgnt rctached the naval base. This message was trans mitted to all our ships by the flagship, with Instructions to get ready for ac tion. Our -squadron left the rendezvous and headed for the eastern channel .off Tsushima. Our men seejned to be filled with new Inspiration and were ager for the long delayed fight to be gin. When Tsushima was sighted to the southwest, the sea was rough and the torpedo-boats were forced to run for the shelter of the island. Our third fighting squadron with the Taka shiho to port reconnoltered the Rus sian course and at 11:30 A. M. informed the main squadron by wireless tele graph that the Russian ehips were passing into the cast4chanpel, where upon our main squadron, changing Its course somewhat to the southward, came in sight of Okinshlma at 1 o'clock In the afternoon. The third division arrived later and joined the main squadron. The first and second divi sions, accompanied by the destroyer flotilla, changed to a westerly course, while the third division and the fourth destroyer flotilla headed slightly east ward. Togo's Signal to Ills Men. "During tliis maneuver the Russian flagship appeared to the southward at 1:45 o'clock. The Russians stcamod up In double column. The fleet was numerous, but no living being was visible. The Russian ships seemed to be in good order; Our ships hoisted the flag of action, the MIkasa signalling: " The destiny of our empire depends upon this action. You are all expected to do your utmost. "Our .men seemed to silently weigh the significance of this signal. Our first and second divisions kept in close touch with the preceding two divisions. Russians Open Fire. "With the Japanese ships proceeding in this order. It was 2:13 o'clock when the Russians opened fire. The first two shots fell short of our line, and It was some minutes later before we commenced firing. Then the hattlo was on, with firfng frpm both sides. Our destroyers kept on the port side of the main squadron, and in this for mation we pressed, the Russians against the coast of Kiushlu and they were obliged to change their course to the - east. We also maneuvered our ships so as to have their bows parallel to the north side of the Russian line. So the MIkasa of our first division, which Kad been leading, changed to the rear of the line, while the Kasuga headed the line. Doomed Fleet Is Enveloped. "The engagement now became very fierce. The Borodino was seen to bo on fire. A little later the Russians headed west and we changed our course accordingly. Five ships of our second 'division concentrated their fire on the Borodino. Our first division now be gan firing vigorously, proceeding par allel with the Russian line, and, as we began to press against the head of the Russian line, our third . 'division veeVed to tho Russian rear, thus en veloping their ships. The engagement proceeded notly. Our aecond division followed a course parallel with the northern side, of the Russians and this movement completed the envelopment. "The Russian ships were seen trying to break through and our destroyer flotilla intercepted their new course. Thin state of envelopment continued until the following day. with the ships at varying distances. Thus enclosed on all "sides, the Russians were helpless and powerless to escape the circle. Previous instructions had been given f.he destroyers and torpedo-boats to at tack the Russian chip. Following in structions, the fifth destroyer flotilla advanced against a Russian ship, upon which the second division h'ad been concentrating Its fire-, signalling: Torpedoes Sink Big Ship. "We- are going to give the last thrust at them. "The Ruslan ship continued to fight, and, seeing the approaching torpedo boats, directed its fire on them. Un daunted, our destroyers pressed for ward, the Cbitosc meantime continuing its fire: The torpedo flotilla arrived within 200 meters of the Russian ship and the Sblranus fired the first shot. Two other torpedo-boats fired one each. The Shiranus received two shells, but the other boate were not damaged. The Russian ship was sunk. Sundown caw the battle raging' furiously. Our Khells were evidently telling on the Russians, who showed signs of confu sion. "Our fifth torpedo flotilla; after de stroying the Borodino, followed in the wake of our second division, the signal reading: "'Something like the Russian sub marine has been sighted. Attack them." "The flotilla followed and located the object, which proved to be a sink ing ship with its overturned bottom showing. Thirty survivors clung to tho wreck, crying for assistance. Fir ing ceased with the approach of dark ness. Thjrd Torpedo Attack Succeeds?. "According to orders previously, given for a torpedo attack after dark, all the destroyer flotillas divided into two squadrons to attack the Rusians dur ing the whole night. The Russians frustrated the first and second attacks wltn searchlights. A third attempt was carefully made and the Yuglri sank a ship of the Borodino typo and also hit others. "During the night the Russians con tinued to move and wo -preserved our enveloping movement some distance from the Russian position. Tho Rus slan ships headed norcneast after day break, hoping to reach Vladivostok. Our officers and men were determined that not a ship should escape and re solved not to relax their efforts until they had succeeded in either sinking or capturing every Russian ship. Our ships always kept ahead of the Rus sians. Heaviest Dosses on Sunday. 'The battle was resumed at 9 o'clook Sunday morning. 12 miles cast of Chyupyon Bay. and lasted all day. Here the'RussIans suffered their heav iest losses. They seemed quite unpre pared to repel night attacks. During our first night attack the Russians showed nine searchlights 4and frus trated the attacks, but clearly gave us the location of the fleet, which brought success later." RUX ASHORE AND BLOWN UP Captain of Izumrod Tells Fate ot Ills Cruiser. . ST. PETERSBURG. June L Official reports bearing on the naval battle arc beginning to be received by the Emperor and Grand Duke Alexis, the High Ad miral. The most important of these re- , veals the fate of the cruiser Izumrod, being a telegram from her captain. Baron Ferzen, dated June 1, saying that he had blown up the cruiser at the entrance of -Ytadlmlr Bay and briefly describing the battle. The Baroji says that before dark on May 27, the OslIaBIa, Alexander III and Borodino had been sunk and that the Knlaz Souvaroff. the Kamtchatka and the Ural had been seriously damaged and were lost to sight. The command then devolved on Rear-Admiral Xcbogatoff. In the evening the Nikolai I. the Orel. the General Admiral Aprzzdne. the Ad miral Senlavln, the Admiral OushakoE. the Slssoi A'ellky. the. Navarln, the Ad-j miral XaXhlmon aid the Izumrud sailed northeastward, the last named .being j charged to transmit orders to the battle-' ships. Two other cruisen were cut off from the fleet and were not again seen. The battleships, steaming at 14 knots, were repeatedly attacked by the Japanese torpedo boats, especially at the extremi ties of the line. At dawn It was ascer tained that the battleship division con sisted of the Nikolai I. the Orel, the Gen eral Admiral Apraxlne and the Admiral Senlavln. At sunrise May 2S. smoke ot the Jap anese ships reappeared ' on the horizon, whereupon the Admiral gave orders for increased speed. The Admiral Senlavln and General Admiral Apraxlne dropped behind. Toward 1 o'clock the Japanese fleet appeared first to port and then to starboard, while the cruiser division maneuvered behind the Russians to star board. Baron Ferzea's account con tinues: "I was cut off from the squadron and, finding it Impossible to rejoin it, resolved to make for Vladivostok. I put on full speed, and the enemy's cruisers came In pursuit. Owing to the insufficiency of. my supply of coal and the certainty of meet ing the enemy's cruisers. I subsequently headed for Vladimir Bay, where I ar rived pirthe night of May 29. At ISX o'clock next morning, in pitch darkness, the Izumrud ran full on a reef at the entrance to .the bay. Having only 10 tons of coal and seeing that it would be impossible to refloat my vessel. I ordered the crew ashore and blew up the Izumrud to prevent her falling Into the hands of the - enemy. Ten of my sailors were wounded in the battle, but the .officers and the rest of. the crew are all safe." GOOD GOODS ONLY QUALITY CONSIDERED, OUR PRICKS ARE ALWAYS ,THI, LOWEST prairWol f e 5t Co.
