LOXDON, May 80. — The Japanese navy la aupreme in the far east. Admiral Tofco has overwhelmed and destroyed the Russian fleet under command of Admiral Uojestveusky, paralleling If not surpassing the brilliant achievements of his military compatriot, Field Marshal Oyama. According to the latest official advices the battle, which began on Saturday in the strait of Korea, had continued on Sunday and had up to that time resulted In the destruction or capture of nineteen Russian vessels, including four battleships. A list of the Russian vessels lost comes from Tokyo. It does not account for the battleship Knlaz Suvaroff. which Is understood to have

ADMfBAL TOGO. been Admiral Rojestvensky's flagship. It Is to be presumed from this that the Russian admiral, with a remnant of hla fleet, has fled to the northward or has perished with his vessel and crew rather than surrgpder. The following Russian warships were sunk: Battleship Borodino, battleship Imperator Alexander III., cruiser Admiral Kukhlmoff, cruiser Dmitri Donskol, cruiser Vladimir Monomach, coast defense ironclad Admiral Oushakoff, protected cruiser Svletlana, pro tected cruiser Zemtchug. transport Kamchatka and the transport IrtesThe Japanese captured the follow-' Ing vessels: Battleship Orel, battlesh’T) Nicholas L, coast defense Ironclad Admiral Senlarin and the coast defense Ironclad Admiral Apraksin. Vice Admiral Xebogatoff and 8,000 •men were captured. The Japanese fleet was unhurt to any great extent. Official reports say that early on Saturday morning Vice Admiral Togo, with practically all the powerfnHlghting ships of the Japanese navy, was at ar—Hiphft hay, Korea, 'when wireless signs it from his scoots between Tsn

in pursuit. Tile battle In the Korean strait Is an Id to be the greatest naval battle alnce Trafalgar. If not the greateot ever fought. The Russian Baltic fleet has been crashed, and the Russian fleet has been -practically ahnihUated so far aa its lighting value la eon-

earned.

More than 4,000 men and officers were on the Rosalnn shtj* which were Mink, snd there has been an appalling loss of life. _ <The city of Tokyo is almost in' g dellrlum of joy over Togo's vletory. It la reported that eight Russian captains were drowned In the alnU Ing of their ships, A dispatch from 8t. Petersburg says that Admiral Rojeatnensky's flagship, the Knlaa Buvaroff, and the battleship Chdlabyn were sunk. Other reports say that they were the only batleships that were not lost by the Russians. It Is reported that Admiral Rojestvehsky was wounded. The emperor was completely prostrated by the news and be broke down and wept. The effect of the disaster I* a terrible blow to the government. The futility of trying to stagger on on land Is everywliere recognized and the cry for “peace at any price" is sure to be raised. This time it is believed the government cannot resist such a cry. A St Petersburg dispatch says that seven Japanese ships, two of which were armed, and four Russian ships have been sunk. It is believed that the Japanese are awaiting the publication of Vice Admiral Rbjestvensky’s official dispatches from Vladivostok before admitting the -extent of their own

losses.

Official dispatches leave no doubt that the Japanese, through their notable victory over the Russian Baltic fleet have complete control of the sea and need have nc fear for the remaining period of the war but that they can maintain uninterrupted water communication between the home supply bases and the Japanese armies in Man-

churia.

The possibility of s situation of extreme delicacy between the United. States and Russia over the sinking of an American merchant -steamship by the Baltic fleet off Formosa, as reported by Mr. Griscom, United States minister at Tokyo, is considered imminent, especially In view of the positive announcement of the Japanese ministry of marine at Tokyo that the vessel was fired on-and sank by the Russians. A Tokyo report says: “Our combined squadron made a second attack on the Russians near Okiaoshlma (southeast of Tsushima) and defeated them, sinking at least twelve ships and inflicting heavy damage upon others. Damage to our ships is insignificant Our destroyers and torpedo flotillas delivered an attack after sunset *„ "The main force of our combined duadron continued pursuit and attacked near Liancourt rocks (northeast of Oklnosblma) a squadron consisting of Nicolai I. (battleship). Orel (battleship). Sealsvin, Apraksin and Izumorud. The Izumnrnd ‘fled, while the remaining four vessels surrendered. According to statements of prisoners, the vessels sunk In tlje engagement were the Borodino . (battleship), Alexandra IIL (battleship), Zemtchug and three other ships. Rear Admiral Xebogatoff and about 2,000 other Russians were taken prisoners. A Tokyo report says that a Russian warship has arrived off Iwjml, mi the southwest coast of Japan and hoisted the white flag. The dispatch says that 800 officers and men, most of whom are wounded^ are being assisted by the Japanese Bed Cross there.

WASHINGTON, May 30.—Quick to realise the far reaching effect of Admiral Rojestvensky's disastrous defeat in the Korean straits and hf ke«B)pg with Ids promise announced lr long time ago to do all in his power to bring the belligerents in the far east to direct negotiations at the proper time. President Roosevelt last night received by special appointment Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, and a conference followed for the greater part of the evening. Mr. Takahira called at the White House shortly after B o'clock last night and was tan-

reeelved. Earlier In the day

the minister had called and left for, the president iba report of the battle

given writ at fee legation. ~ mer Durand, the British an

certain on what basis Japan ran dieisa tjw question of psece. At the Ruaslan embassy last night Count Cassini, while naturally depressed at the loss of life, expressed belief that when fuller detail* came In It would be found that Admiral Rojestvensky had saved a part of his squadron and that hla passage of the straits bad been accomplished not without Inflicting great damage on the opposing fleet. s “Talk of peace is premature,*’ the ambassador declared. “If the victory as stupendous as the Japanese would hare the world believe the neutral tJbwers can scarcely fl^ah for Japan to be allowed to remain without a taste of defeat. My belief la that the effect of Rojestveusky'a defeat win be the Indefinite prolongation of the war. Russia must tight on perhaps for yean, but nntll the tables are turned.**
