THREW RUSSIANS | INTO PANIC. | Officers at Manila Tell How Togo Took Fight Out of Them. y Manila, June 1 2—From stories told by the Russians who eseaped from the sea fight in the Korean etraite, ite appears that the Japanese com- pletely surprised the Russian fleet. The Russians were steaming peace- fullyalong. There was no sign of the Japanese tlet, and the Russian ships were not cleared for action, nor were the batteries manned. The attack came with a suddenness that made the unprepareduees of the Russians for battle a glaring mistake that never could be corrected. Two lines of torpedo boats sud denly appeared and encircled the Russian fleet. The rapid fire batter- ies were turned loose, but with ap- parently little effect on the Japanese boats, Over the approaching tor- pedo boats came a haf! of 10 and 18 inch shells from the Japanese war vessels in the distance. The torpedo boats advanced at full speed, one division going {n @ westerly and an- other in an easterly direction. The Russian cruisers and battle ships pre- pared to repel the attack. Thecruis- ers manned their port batteries and the battle ships their starboard bat- teries, No attempt was made to pre- : pare the batteries on the other side of the ships, and it was here the Rus- siansblundered. When the Japanese torpedo boats came within firing dis- v tance the Russians opened fire. Then it was the Japanese executed a maneuver that threw the Russians into confusion, The two encircling lines met south of the Russians, but, instead of continuing in that direc ; tion, they turned, at a signal from me | Togo, and at full speed charged be- ‘ tween the three lines of Russian ships, one division passing between the cruisers and the line of hospital ships and transports and another division passing between the trans- ports and the battle ships on the other side. The Russian ships were unprepared for an attack of this character, and for a time were help- less against the discharge of Japanese torpedoes. Hardly a cruiser of bat- tle ship remained unscathed. The Russians were completely demoraliz- ed, and during the last dash of the a I torpedo boats not a shot was fired |j Re | to stop them. In the meantime, xe Togo, with his battle ships and cruis- i ers, encircled the Russian fleet, and i with his big guns completed the ; work of destruction. Gives Train Robber Fifty Years.

Tokio, June 12.—A correspondent of the Associated Press has been per- mitted to inspect the Ruselan battle- ship Orel, now lying at Maizuru. The Orel received a terrible battering. Her bull shows by the gasping holes pierced by the big shells and many smaller where she had been bit while the superstructure, her upper works and upper decks were riddled by shells, fragments and splinters. The starboard forward 12 ioch gun was emashed 10 feet from the muzzle, either by a shell or by exploe- ion. A fragment of the gun went over the bridge, smashing the rail, and after carrying away the breech of a 12 pounder, buried itself in the signal locker. From the main deck upward the condition of the vessel was terrible to behold. The steel partitions were smashed, the gangway was broken, and stanchions wrecked. Gear of various kinds covered the decks, and the state of alleyways shows that the ship was afire several times. The mark of the flames increased the acene of desolation. ‘ Themain armor belt is intact. The turret armor generally withstood the battering from shells, although two of the 6 inch turrets were render- ed unserviceable by shots which struck close to their base. Several smaller guns were dismounted and smashed. A grewsome sight was a bulkhead covered with blood, fragments of flesh and hair. The Orel is sound, structurally, al- though it will be necessary to prac- tically reconstruct her from the wa- ter line up. The condition of the ship sows that the crew underwent 4 NORWAY SECEDES; SWEDES ACQUIESCE. People of Sweden Oppose War to Compe! Norwegians to Maintain Union.
