The Admiral only casually states in the course of his letter that the Minister court-martialed for the loss of the ‘The charge that the British concentrated his ships at \V expecting to recelve an order de- troy the Russians in the event of Ad- miral Togo proving unequal to the task as aroused a considerable sensation in Giplomatic circles, all th re #0 @s Admiral Rojéstvensky's letter was published with the permission of the | adi Minister “of Marine and no doubt is entertained that it will be made the gubject of diplomatic representations to Great Britain. It fs a fact that at the time of the fight between Rojestvensky and Toxu the Bnglish bad a powerful fleet of war veaséls within reaching distance of the ®eat of the battle.
