Admiral Togo reports that the comman* der of fcho Kasuga, who returned with fcho survivors of fcho Dmitri Donskoi, reports that during the fighting of fcho 29th fcho Dmitri Donskoi’s commander opened her Kingston valve and sank fcho vessel. Those on board, including survivors from the Oslybia and destroyer Bomnuij lauded on Urloung Island. The Bomnui took aboard Admiral Roshdesfcveneky and stall before fcho flagship sunk, and also took 200 survivors from the OBlybia, but finding navigation difficult, transferred tho Admiral and staff to fcho destroyer Bildovy, and running northward met the Dmitri Donskoi, to which all aboard were transferred. Afterwards fcho Bomnui herself sank. The survivors of fcho Dmitri Donskoi state that they saw two destroyers sunk while in the thick of battle, making a total of five Russian destroyers sunk.

A nowspapor in Russia, dealing with Admiral Diebogafcoff’s surrender, pleads insufficiency of ammunition, but it is known that eight of his men were hanged for mutiny in the Red Saa.

Japanese accounts confirm the sinking of the Jemtchug, and state that the Izumrud, badly injured by torpedo boats, escaped north on Sunday, and sank off Twami. Four hundred of the crew were drowned, and 200 landed in boats and were captured.

The Times' St.. Petersburg correspondent reports that trustworthy information shows fihafc Admiral Diebogafcoff’s sailors mutinied and threw tho Admiral and many officers overboard. Another account states that the mutinous crew bound the officers in their cabins and hoisted tho white flag. Many at Sfc. Petersburg expect something similar when the Manchurian armies hear of the naval disaster. The Russian Bourse was firm on Thursday, believing that the Czar must make peace. The Czar’s decision was then unknown.
