I DESTROYED
TWENTY-TWO SHIPS SINK AND
CAPTURED If Y TOGO.
None of Japan's Itig fighting Ship
Were Seriously Damaged
Says Togo.
Tokio, May 30. Admiral Togo has
wired Admiral Yamamoto, Minister of
the navy, as follows:
"The main force of the Russian sec
ond and third fleets is nearly annihi
lated. Please feel assured of it."
Tokip, May 30. It is now believed
that four Russian warships, in addition
to those already reported lost, have
been sunk by the Japanese fleet.
rojestvvenskv'h fate in doubt,
According to the latest reports from
Vice-Admiral Togo to his government
the loss to the Russians in ships sunk or
captured now numbers 22, while full
particulars are not in. The Admiral
says that none of his big fighting ships
was he.iously damaged.
Intere ti g news comes from Vladi
vostok, sent direct by the correspond
ent of the Associated Press, who re-
poits the arrival there of the protected
cruiser A'maz and the torpedo boat de
stroyer Grozeny. The officers of the
Almaz tay they witnessed the sinking
of two Japanese battleships and that
two Japmese cruisers were listing badly
and seemed about to sink when the fog
obscured their view of the battle.
There seems to be great confusion as
to the fate of Vice-Admiral Rojestven6-
ky. It is said that he arrived at Vladi
vostok on the torpedo-boat Buiny, the
Admiral wounded, and that his wife
has received a telegram from him,
while a report received from Tokio late
Tuesday at the Japanese Legation at
Washington says he was captured on
board the Russian destroyer Biedovy
with another Admiral, both severely
wounded, and with several staff officers
of hi flag-hip. the Kniaz SonvarofF. the
pinking of which is confirmed by the
officers of the Almaz.
Hort Annihilated.
Tokio, May 20. '2:15 V. M.) It is
officially announced that Ad niral Ro
jestvensky's fleet has been practically
annihiliated. Twelve warships have
been sunk or enptured and two trans
ports and two torpedo-boat destroyers
h ve been sunk.
TOliO WINS IJRHAI VICTORY.
Kiiswlan fleet Homed m straits
of Corea.
According to the latest information
the battle between the Russian and
Japanese naval forces for the suprem
acy of the Oriental seas, on which hangs
the outcome of the Far Eastern struggle
has begn, if it has not terminated de
cislvely. All the dispatches received
by the Associated Press point to a
Japdnese victory, though it is not yet
known that the full force of Vice-Admiral
Rojeetvensky's righting ships
took part in the conteet, which, accord
ing to the dispatches, took place in ihe
comparatiyey narrow waters of the
Straits of Corea.
The first information came in a dif
patch from the American Consul at
Nagasaki to the State Department at
Washington, telling that the Japanese
had eunkene Russian battleship, four
other warships and a repair ship in tbe
Corean Strait, and tbis was followed by
a dispatch received bv the Stale De
partment, the date of which was not
given, that "the Japanese government
has made the announcement that its
fleet had engaged the Russians in the
Straits of Corea Saturday and had beld
them,"
The State Department a'so received
information that two of the vessels re
ported to have been sunk were the
sister battleships, Orel and BoroJino,
and that three of the other ships were
cruisers.
From Tsintan, the German port on
the Shantung Peninsu'a, came a report
that a running naval engagement to k
place near the Island of Oki in the Bea
of Japan, 200 miles northeast of the
Straits of Corea, and that the who'e
Russian fleet did not participate, the
slow vesseh having been sent around
jBpan.
Russian sources give no news of th
bfcttle, while the Japanese government,
fullowing its custom, is silent as t
either the battle or fts outcome.
London, May 29 Manv dispatches
from Tokio and other points appearing
iu the morning -newspapers are filled
with more or less authentic details of
recent movements of Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky's ships and surmises and
rumo-s of the results of the bUtle be
tween the Japanese and Russian fleets,
but add nothing reliable to the dis
patches received by the Associated
Press correspondent. f':
According to tlu-Ially Telegram a
private telegram was received in Lor-
d on last night in a very high quarter to
the (fleet that Vice-Admiral Togo had
g lined a great victory. Based on the
meager details already received here
most of the newspapars are ready to
believe the Japanese havej secured a
victory.
The secrecy maintained at Tokio Ap
parently extends to the European lega
tions. At auy rate, Baron Hakashima,
the Japanese Mm iMer here, declined to
see newspaper coi i e'pondents, much
less to ti. 1 k of the battle.
The indications from many of the dis
patches aie that Roje3tvensky sent
some of Ida vessels through the
Tsugaru Strait, with the view of mysti
fying the Japanese.
A dispatch to a news agency says that
two Russian warships were sighted
Sunday afternoon at Masuki (Mashike)
in Shiyari Province, Hokkaido, steam
ing southwest, but it is not kruwn
whetb.fr they belonged ts Rojestvenrky
or if they were froii Vladivostok.
It ia assumed here that the Japar eee
government will follow its customa y
plan not o allow details to be published
until the action has been comile ed,
end it is believed that the tight has
been of a running character.
The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corre
spondent says that an intermittent fog
prevailed in the Sea of Japan Saturday.
It occasional'y lifted, when there was
brilliant sunshine. A high wind pre
vailed, with a rough sea.
The Russian ships were first sighted
at 6 o'clock in the morning approach ing i
Tsu Islands, under cover of a fog,
which, however, lifted, and tl e F.piad-
ron retired. This squadron is believed
to have consisted of six fi.st-c'a's ships, !
and. according to information received, !
21 more R issian warships were not far j
away. Nothing definite is known, how-j
ever, pays the correspondent, and the
authorities merely repor!ed that can
nonading was proceeding.
It has now been discovered, the cor
respondent continues, that Rojes'ven-'
sky's ships ooabd along the coast of the
Ii-land of Luzon on May 22, and on tbe
followigg d iy they cruised about north
of Luzon and transferred large quanti
ties of bunker coal from colliers. Then
Rojestveosky decided to divide his fleet
into several patts. He travereed the
Bashee Straits and steamed in a north
easterly diiection On the morning of
May 2o the Russians weie southwest of
the Luctiu Islands, and the slow con
verted cruisers and transports were
sent to Shanghai, while the main
squadron went to Tsu Island
A dispatch from Shanghai says that
Japanese warships arrived in the offing
at Woosung Saturday and attacked the
Russian ships, but a later dispatch Bays
that the Russian transports are t i stay
in the vicini'y of Shanghai, while the
vessels of the volunteer fleet are to
leave for either German or French ter
ritory. It is reported that Rojestyen
skv's equadions used Chusan (one of a
group of islands off the east coast of
China, in the Province of Chekiang) as
a naval base, and it is al-o stated that
tbe Chinese authoratives ordered thj
vessels to leavs Woosung by S o'clock
Saturday night or to haul, down their
flags. The Russians, the dispatch said,
were temporizing.
It is reported f-om Hongkong that the
British fleet is leaving f.jr the north at
full speed.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
and the Daily Telegraph itself both dis
credit the rumor that the Japanese will
a" tack the Russians at Woosung, which
rumor lacks confirmation from any
other quitter, though tie Shanghai
correspondent of the Morning Post,
cabling May 28, says that the firing of
big guns was heard outside Woosung
Sunday night.
The same dispatch says that the Rub
sians allege they are merchantmen and
are entitled to remain at Woosung,
while tha Chinese Admiral now de-
el ue that he wil not permit the ships
to leave hnd. the dispatch adds, the
Chinese warship Haichi has clea-ed for
action.
The Tukio cot respondent of the Daih
.Mail says that 13 of R jestvensky's
ships appeared east of Tsu Island at
2:4." oYloek on Saturday morning; tbat
at 10 o'c'ock that morning the fleet was
passing tvn miles southeast of Tatziki,
and that cannonading was heard.

Agreement Between Lnlou antf
aoriuern Pacific for Railroad.
New York, May 20 The Union Pa
cific and Northern Pacific executive
comrr.i'tees met separately on Thursday
and paseed motions to prepare for
buil ling a joint line from Huntington or
Buch other point on the Oregon Short
Line as may be cho-en near Huntim ten
to either Culdsac or Clearwater oa the
Northern Pacific. The entire new line
will be about 550 miles long and will he
built of 75-pound rai!s and (quipped ac
cording to the Union Pacific's specifica
tion, the total cost not to exceed 815,
000,000, end work on the surveys to be-
g n immediately. The surveys made
by both railroads in 1000 wil be aban
doned in favor of a line to follow the
Snake River closelv.
The tgreement is the result of Hill
aid Kuhn, Loeb & Co.'s getting to
gether to show Harriman that he could
not run Union Pacific alone. Harri-
man gave in with a good grace when
bis bankers r: fused to help him in
financing any line to invade Hi'l terri
tory. The agreement ends the dispute
begun between Mellen and Burt, which
was brought to a close for the time
when Hill, Morgan and Harriman
brought pressure to bear on the two
presidents and ordered the fight
stopped in 19J1, im;uediat-ly before the
pu'chiqo of the Northern Paeifn by
11.11 and Morgan.
