R0JESTVENSKY
IN THE BATTLE
With Flag oh" Souvaroff, He Himself
Was on. Borodino When Battie
Began Five Times He
;. Changed Ships Before
He Was Captured. Losses
of the Japanese
I Were Trifling
Tokie, June 1. Rough estimates
made the Russian losses in the battle
fought in the sea of Japan, exclusive
of nearly 4,000 prise ners, vary from
7,000 to 9,000. Calculating the com
plements of the sunken and captured
ships at upwardslof 10,000, 7,00 men
remain unaccounted for. It is possi
ble that the ships which escaped res
cued some of the members of the
crews of the last fortunate ship.
Many bodies have been washed
ashore on the islands and on the
shores of the neighboring coasts, near
the scene of the battle.
Sinking of the Ships.
The navy department made the fol
lowing announcement to-day:
"Later reports from the different di
visions of the fleet engaged In the
naval battle of May 27 shows as fol
lows: y "The Russian battle ship Oslabia
was heavily damaged in the early
part of the fight, going down at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. The first
Russian vessel sunk was the I battle
ship Sissoi Veliky. The protected
cruisers, Admiral , Nakhimoff and
Vladimir Monomach, after being in
the engagement during the day time
were still further damaged by the
torpedoes during attack by night, and
were eventually completely disabled.
They drifted into the vicinity of Tsu
island, where they were discovered
on Sunday morning, May 28, and by
the auxiliary .cruisers Shilano Yawata
Tainaand Sadp,. which captured
them, but they all sank. The crews
of our auxiliary cruisers rescued 195
of the. crews of the sunken Russian
ships.
; "The battle ship Navarin was tor
pedoed four times after sundown on
Saturday, May 27, and sank, The
survivors of the Nevarln's crew con
firm the story of her destruction.
"The cruisers Nitaka and Otowa
discovered the Russian cruiser Sviet
lana at 9 o'clock on Sunday morning,
in the vicinity of Chappyan bay, and
immediately attacked and sunk her.
The commander of the Niitaka re
ports the fact that It is suspected'
that the Russian cruisers Almaz and
Aurora were sunk by torpedoes in the
night of May 27.
"The former reports- include the
statement that the Russian cruisers
iemtchung was sunk, but as yet this
remains unconfirmed and the cruiser's
name has been excluded from the re
vised list of Russian vtssels destroy
ed. . : . - ' ".. "
"Judging from this" and former re
ports the enemy's main strength,
consisting of .eight battle ships des
troyed or captured three armored
cruisers, and three coast defense ships
destroyed or captured, with the sec
ond class cruisers and other vessels
destroyed the enemy's fighting power
is thus annihilated.

MACHINE BOWS
BEFORE MAYOR
Measure . for Leasing "Philadelphia
Gas V'ks. Withdrawn from Council
i'unaaeipnia, June z. vvunout a
dissenting vote both branches of the
city councils to-day withdrew the
ordinance authorizing the lease of
the city gas works to the United Gas
Imprivement Company for a period of
seventy-five years, for which privil
edge the company was to pay the city
$25,000,000. Select council also
unanimously conformed the appoint
ment of Col. Sheldon Potter as direc
tor of public safety, and A. Lincoln
Acker as director of public works.
The galleries of the council chambers
were packed to suffocation with spec
tators, but there were no disturban
ces, and the action of the municipal
legislators were received in selence.
An unusual feature of the meeting
of councils was the presence of May
or Weaver, acompanied by his attor
ney, in a room adjoining the upper
branch during the vote. on his ap
pointments. He was prepared to ap
pear before the body if necessary,
but was not called on to do so.
Another important move was made
in common council when Alexander
De Haven, chairman of the finance
committee, Introduced a resolution
fixing the tax rate for next year at
$1.50 on $100, the present rate.
The Republican .leader, who advo
cated the gas lease extension claimed
that money was needed immediately
to meet expenses, and asserted that if
the ordinance was defeated it would
be necessary to Increase the tax rate.
Mayor Weaver, on the other hand,
contended that the existing rate was
sufficient. . '
