YORK, | Togo Determined to Make His Great Vic- tory Complete Pursues the Scattered Ships of the Enemy as They Run Before Destructive Fire. “RUSSIANS ANNIHILATED,” "ec HIS BRIEF REPORT TO TOKIO. Then Hurries Off to Complete His Mastery of Far Eastern Waters—Fugitive Russian Ves- sels Are Supposed to Be Headed for Vladivostok. —— (Continued from First Page.) ST, PE ERSBURG, May 29—1,55 P. M—At the Admiratty this morning absolutely nothing was known of the naval battle in the Far | East except the news contained in the despatches of the Associated Press, The general impression produced by the cable messages was undoubtedly extremely gloom) While Admiral Rojestvensky was expected to pay the price for reaching his havea at Vladivostok, the complete joss of two of his four best battle-ships, besides several other warships, with heavy damage to other ships unless the Japanese suffered correspondingly. For this reason news from Vladivostok, where the first communica: | tion with the Russian fleet will be established, is awaited with intense anxiety. CZAR WAITS FOR NEWS. - The Admiralty calculates that wireless communication with Viadtvos- tok might be established so early as thie afternoon or to-night, but as all despatches must first go to the Emperor the news is not likely to reach | the public until to-morrow, It is a matter of general comment ‘hat the most definite and most ro- Mable information received up to the time the official announcement was sent out from Tokio was by way of Washington. The receipt of the Tokio official bulletin announcing that Rojest- vensky's fleet was practically annihilated was a crushing blow to the Admiralty officials, destroying the hope to which many of them had clung that the silence of the Japanese Government might be favorably construed, 'The wording of the official despatch was interpreted to meam that Admiral Togo had succeeded in barring and holding the entrance to the Straits of Corea against Amiral Rojestyensky. Some of the foreign press ‘lespatches were very confusing, but every- thing seems to indicate that Togo delivered a series of desperate torpedo attacks during Saturday pight with the support of his heavy ships. The reported sinking of so many ¢'\lps it is believed might also be par tially due to mines sown ahead of thi advancing Russian columns, The belief is also strengthened t'iat Rojestvensky was forced in order to secure homogenity in speed and fighting power to divide his fleet, only a single division passing the Straits of Corea, the other going around Japan, BORODINO THE FILAGSHIP. But the of Corea division evidently Included the pick of the Russian fleet, the Borodino and Orel being two of the four best battle~ ships, It is possible that Admira! Rojestvensky transferred his flag from the battle-ship Kniaz Sonvaroff to the Borodino or Orel before the fight in} r to prevent the concentration of the Japanese fire on his own F)') apt, Sreberinnikoff, of the Rorodinc, and Capt. Ignatieff, co’ are regarded as extremely capable officers. Owing to the decision of the newspapers to suspend Monday publica- {ions only telegrams are being printed on fly sheets, The Novoe Vremya | alone comments silitorially on the battle under the caption Fate Has Struck. The paper says: “Russia has been reproached with putting too much trust in God, sending too many Ikons to the war and not enough men, The ficin, result {8 now, in the language of the Americans, in the hands of ‘The men pug, behind the guns.’ We Russians will be patient until the full results ary! known.” Black pessimism reigns among the public, WIVES OF VICTIMS PROSTRATED, There were many touching Incidents in the corridors of the Admiralty, | which were filled this afternoon with the wives and families of officers and men on board the Russia ships inquiring , -eously for news of loved ones, They had already heard rumors that the fleet had practically been annihi- lated, and most of the women wept and some of them fainted when the| Admiralty announced it had no news to communicate. At 7 o'clock this evening Admiral Wirenius, Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, authorized a statement that the Government had not yet re- ceived official advices regarding the naval battle, a The staff does not expect any news from Vladivostok until to-morrow, It is not true that the battle-ship Alexander III, and four cruisers have reached Viadivostok, as reported here. In diplomatic circles generally tho belief 1s held that it Rojestvensky's | defeat is as complete as reported it is sure to be followed by renewed efforts to, hring about penco, +2-————.— Togo Pursuing the Enemy.

Some Russian Ships Escaped) BERLIN, May 29.—Work was almost suspended fn the Navy Department} this morning when twenty copies of the Tokio bulletin of the Associated Press were distributed there The officers and bureau chiefs left their desks to talk over the news with one another. Few generalizations were made except that part of the Russian fleet eng ged in the Straits of Corea seeni- Ingly got away and will possibly reach Viadivcstok, All the Russia fleet, it is claimed here, was not engaged in Corean waters, The fleet it {a understood at the Navy Department, had divided, a portion sa{ling castward of Japan. i Definite statemonts are accepted here as being generally accurate, Theroforo it is assumed tn professional quarters that the Japanese infileted greater damage than they themselves sustained, Naval critics acsept the view that the war has entered upon the last phase in which the Japanese command of the sea will continue unthreat- enced until the end, ‘The battle of Saturday 1s called the greatest fleet action for a hundred years or since Trafalgur, and 1s classed here is being immenscly greater thnt the Adriatic Sea fight In 186U, or the naval battle’ of Santiago in 1398, While the details are too fow to enable the while picture to be recon- structed, enough is evident for the expert commentators to think it indi-| acates a decisive defeat of the Russians and the probability of the final destruction or surrender of tho fugitive remnants of Rojestvensky's fleet. —_——_——_++ Russian Flagship Lost?
