M rumors in reference to the comll at Tsarskoe-Selo, are to. the effect that the council considered the possibility of the Japanese sending an Xhedition to the Baltic, The * J, navy, without loss, gained one of the greatest victories ever won. It was not altogether stra- tegy or altogether gallantry, but the , was" won by a. splendid com- bination of beth. ' Almost "every Japanese shell 'told. The Russians made unavailing efforts to break the ring of steel, and at night they concentrated a fearful fire on the Japanese torpedo flotillas. Togo estimates that he thus com. pelied them to wee an enormous quan- tity-of ammunition. Two features of the naval disaster have particularly wounded the pride of ssian naval officers, namely the slightoess of the Japanese losses and the surrendersof four battleships. The Russ thinks the offi sof i ships must have lost' control of- their men, who were demoralized by the lack of ammunition: The paper quotes from a letter sent from Madagascar, when the Russian fleet was there in which it said: "We have projectiles for only one battle and we are restricted even in gun practice." As the battleships remaining in the fight were still in squadfon formation when cut off, this increases the deep resentment felt at St. Petersburg at the surrender of the ships, the Novoe Vreiitya even declaring that the offi- cers ought to be court-martialed and shot down for hauling down their flags and turning over their ships to the Japanese, The paper cites arti- cles of the naval regulations forbid- ding a commander to surrender; ex- copt as a last emergency, after taking measures to destroy his ship. The saddest note for St. Petersburg was struck by the destruction of the battleship Alexander III., which was manned by sailors of the Guard, and officered "exclusively by men prominent in society and court. Her crew served during the winter time as a regiment of the Guard, of which the dowager empress was honorary commander. The facts have proved that the Rus- sians were completely ignorant of the exact whereabouts of the Japanese fleet, which lay concealed in places kept striotly secret.
