St. Petersburg, July 10.--The testi- mony in the case of Vico-Admiral Rojestvensky, who is being tried by court martial for the surrender of the destroyer Bedovi in the battle of the Sea of Japan, has been submitted and the addresses of counsel heard. The testimony has brought out de- tails of the 'odld-bloaded way in which Capt. Baranoff, of the Bedovi, aban- doned the crews of the battleships Oslabia, Kniaz Suvareff and Alexander III to death by drowning, refusing . to save a single person. The president of the court virtually called Capt. Baranoff a coward in open sitting. Rojestvensky is the only defendant emerging from the investigation with any credit. He has submitted his case, in lieu of pleading by counsel, in the following words : "Sirs 1 Russia's fleet has miliated; the people have co you; I await my punishment." been hu- idence in LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
