Admiral Tosd's supplementary report, which has reached the Navy Department, makes the Russian defeat a staggering disaster unequalled in naval history, Practically every fighting ship of a once splendid fleet was either sunk or captured, representing a loss of tonnage éxceeding 160,000, The remain- ing units of the fleet, consisting largely of auxiliaries and transports, have been dispersed, some going to Vladivostok, others to the China coast, Admiral Rojestvensky, gravely wounded, occupies a cot in a Japanese Bing 3 a prisoner ft war, jestvensky's injuries coneiat of a wound on the forehead, a slight outer fracture of the ekull and other alight wounds, eee Before the combat a partial victory, with operations around Viadiy- ostok during the summer, was generally expected, No one dreamed of annihilation at the first meeting, Later reports indi- cate that the fighting was of the most desperate nature, On Saturday and Gunday there were persistent torpedo attacks, following heavy gun fighting, —_——— First Shot Fired by Suvaroff.
