TOKIO, June 2.—A remarkable story is in circulation concerning the wounded on the battle-ship Orel, captured by ‘the Japanese, It is said that at the cpening of the fight 300 men were killed and wounded, and that the groans and shrieks of the wounded exercised so harmful an eflect that it was decided to throw the mortally wounded into the sea, One hundred and forty, it is said, were thrown overboard, Those slightly wounded were then fastened to the mast to prevent | their interference with the fighting of the ship, It is impossible to obtain any confirmation of this story, but later | reports indicate that the crew of the Orel fought with desperate bravery throughout the day previous to their surrender, \ The hull of the vessel is shell marked, and many of her guns are smashed and dismantled, It is planned to take the baltle-ship Orel to Yokosuka, where the Emperor will visit her, —_— —_-+ ¢- _____ Treachery on Russian Ships. ST PETERSBURG, June 2.—Ugly stories are circulating in this clty of the demoralization and even treachery of the crews of several of the Russian ships during the battle, and it {s even sald that the crew of tho battle-ship Orel bound their officers and hoisted the white flag, The origin of these stories, which are discredited by all naval men here, cannot be traced, as the only direct information comes from Japan, but they are doubtless based on the trouble among the crew of the Orel before her departure for the Far East. Sho was sunk at her dock before she left Cronstadt and later at Libau the crew were mutinoys, Indignation against Rear-Admiral Nebogatoff ts growing, The epi- thets “coward” and “traitor” are coupled with his name, especially since the receipt of theToklod despatches showing that his surrender was not in the heat of battle, but with the land close under his leo, to which his Oi) Conservative Russians are alarmed at the possibilfty of disorders in various parts pf Russia as a result of the disaster and a feeling of dis- Quietude for the future is manifested everywhere, The Russian press to-day is still advocating mora vigorously than ever the summoning of a Nationul Assembly, even the reactlonary Sviet joining in the general chorus, In view of the current rumors {1 is most significant that the papers which are more or less in the confidence of the Government unanimously take the position that representatives of the people should decide the question of peace or war, All censorship 1s new removed from forelgn Aespatches and the peoplo are appalled at the horribly stories of slaughter on board the Russian ships, The Admiralty has not yet been able to estimate even approximately from the foreign advices the loss of men, but as the slips were over rathor than undormanned the total will be greater than the ordinary complement of the vessels would indicate, aud probably will exceed 10,000 it only about 4,000 were saved, Requiem masses aro being celobrated constantly in all the churches and ehapels for the repose of the souls of the slain, although the distracted relatives are unable to learn definitely the fate of those dear to them, The Admiraity yo to the present has been unable to turow ang Nght on the situation exceptrto announce the safety,of those who havo +% Vladivostok, ; i Tale of Slaughter Told. i ‘The terrifying tale of the slaughter on the battle-ship Orel in the battlo of the Seu of Japan is borne out by the story of an officer uf the Russian flagshi, Borodino, which was sunk by the Japanese in the fight last Sunday. (Tho officor wis captured and Is at the Japanese Hospital at Sarobo, ils statements, while applying to his own ship, show the deadlYness of the at- tack and the bravery of the crew of the Russian vessels, and the story of ‘what happened on the Borodino is verified by reports stv bmitted to Admiral Wogo by' officers of his fleet. Aa "The Borodino was a first-class battle-ship, with modern armor and arm- ment, and apparently she had a picked crew. She wns tho first of tha Russian ships to-be attacked. The Japanese battle-ships opened fire upon ‘her at the boginning, and in u few moments had the mnge. : After a little manvettyring tho Borodino returned the fire, Hor first Bhot struck the uppec works of the Shikishima and[ullenced that ship ‘for ton minutes, Bit the Rusalans wore not able to follow up thels advantage, RUSSIANS SACRIFICE | HURLED INTO THE SEA FROM BATTLE-SHIP D IN 170 DISGUISED AS POLICEMEN, HE AND PALS ENTER {869 STEALS 4).500,000 IN PHILADELPHIA ae 1370 was knocked unconscious, tho deck to escape the deadly fumes arising froin the exploded shells, As they recovered their senses they crawled to It was a case of out of the frying pan into the fire. shells was shrieking across the decks of the Borodino, DEAD MEN LAY IN HEAPS. Dead men Iay in piles, Exploding shells blew the bodies of sailors | into the sea, The crew of the gun in charge of the Russian officer were glad to crawl back into the barbette, They loaded their 12-inch guns and fired two shots, So far as they | could observe each shot reached a mark, but the Japanese went after that) particular barbette, The Japanese gunners shot with the accuracy of an expert with sma)l arms in a shooting gallery. Half a dozen guns wore | trained on the barbette, and in a few minutes it was blown clear of the| ship, Of twenty officers and men who had been sheltered within it only two escaped death, ' BODIES COVERED THE GUN. 2 The officer crawled along the deck to a G-inch gun, which was almost covered with the bodies of dead and wounded. Alded by others who were uninjured, he pulled the bodies away and worked the gun for an hour, Projectiles from the Japanese ships simply voured upon the Borodino, | Well-direct2d shots had put the ammunition hoists out of business and | shells were passed from below by hand, It was impossible to walk upon the!

REPAIRS UNDER HAIL, OF SHOT, Admiral Rojestvensky went aboard the Borodino in the thick of the fight, leaving only when it became apparent that the ship could remain @float only a short time. As he steamed away on a torpedo-hoat destroyer @ crew of machinists wont over the side of the Borodino to repair the steer- ing gear, and they worked with hammers and rivets and other tools of| Peace and indystry while above and around them whells were exploding} and death was prevalent in its most awful forms, NOT A MAN LEFT ALIVE, The bodjes.of men could be seen hanging out of the fighting tops—n leg here, au arm there, a ghastly face somewhere else. Volunteers who climbed to the fighting topz to timl why the machine guns were silent discovered tho reason, There was no man alive there, The machino guns of the Jopanese! vessels had been trained upon the machine guns of the Borodino,,ond the brave guaners had been cut to pievea, One big gun after anotuer was disabled, but still the survivors continued to fight with what they hav. ‘The ship caught fire ard there were not evotigh able bodied men left'to fight the flames. While the blaze gained be- low, driving out snecessively the crews of the fire room and the engine room the Russians on deck doggedly served thelr remaining guns and fred intermittent shots at the enomy that circled around them relentlessly. The engines had not been injured, although shells had passed through the hull and the Borodino was deep in the water, A volunteer crew was| called for to go below and work the machinery so that the ship might be! withdrawn, The Japanese, divining the intention of the Russian com- nandér, sent two tonpedo boats to finish the Borodino. COULD NOT LIVE BELOW DECKS. One of the torpedo boats was disabled by a well-directed shot. The other came so close that the Russians could see the yellow faces of the Japanese crew, A torpedo swept along the side of the Borodino, bul did nw explode, while the torpedo boat went across her bows with a rush. There was no living below decks, Driven out by the fire, the engl- neers, firemen, anmunition-room men and wounded who had been tn the temporary hospitals trooped up on deck. The ship was helpless, flounder- ing 1p the sea, The sun was going down and dusk was gathering. Then from evory side came a fleet of torpedo poats, DOWN WITH DEAD AND DYING. ‘They. darted in and out and here and there like a swarm of bees, Tho few survivors of the Borodino felt an expleaton heneath them, the deck Tope under their feet and dead, wounded and dying, and the few who had miraculously escaped the shower of shot went with her into the depths of A perfect hail of aged In trying to wink tt NEW YORK, JUNE GREAT FIGHT; JIMMY HOPE AND SCENES IN HIS STRENUOUS CAREER. | clty in Kebruary, 1897, 2, 1905.

Many of the Japanese officers who were engaged in the sinking of the Chen Yuen were active in the sinking of the Boro- dino, The lesson they learned in 1894 in the first battle in history of modern {ronclads was not lost upon them when they met their Russian foe, Philo McGiffin committed suicide in the Post-Graduate Hospital in this —$__——__$+___— DIES OF GRIEF: cveded.
