The torpedo boat destroyer SaKanami, under Commander Naoshi Kasaina, had the honor Of capturing the Russian, which provedyto be the Byedovl, the most powerful destroyer in the Russian licet and built just before the decoration of war. There was no hoiDe for the Russian, as the cruiser Kasugi was north of her and the speedy protected cruiser Takasago two miles to the south. A shell from the latter cruiser caused the captain of the Russian destroyer to strike his colors. Tile report of the Sazanami's commander is that he found Rojestvcnsky and the other admiral—who Is unnamed in the dispatches—severely wounded. He took altogether ninety-seven prisoners.

An unofficial message received this morning by some of Mr. Mitchell's Scranton friends bore the announcement that business would detain him in New York all of today and that he would reach Scranton tomorrow.

It was Mr. Biddle v.-lio published what purported to be a note from Mr. Loornis to Mr. ltusscll, the secretary of legation, Informing him that he would buy a portion of the Mercador claim. SKULL INJURED Tokyo, May 31. — The great naval tight is at an end. The battleships are returning to Sasebo. Five of the torpedo boat llotillas are at Kur. The three cruiser squadrons are on their way into ports, probably making Nagasaki, and wireless telegrams tell of the most sweeping success 011 the sea. Tokyo, in the height of its rejoicing, was startled to learn In an official dispatch from Admiral Togo that every one of the Russian battleships had been sunk except the two reported as captured last Sunday northeast of Tsushima strait. This tremendous success was unlooked for, even by the imperial navy board, but what was more pleasing was the announcement by Togo in his final report of the battle that the loss In his armored division numbered only 400 in dead and wounded. New York, May 31.—At the unveiling of the statue of the late General Klocum in Brooklyn President Roosevelt, who was the guest of the borough, took as the text of his impromptu address the necessity of large and efficient navies In preserving the peace of the All four men live at Nay Aug and are employed on the section.

Vladivostok, May HI.—Early In the battle an ollieer of tlie Alrnaz, while watching Rojeatvensky's flagship, the battleship Kniaz Sotivaroff, for a signal, saw the flagship shudder from stem to stern as if under a blow from a gigantic hammer and hesitate in her course, while the waves rose high from her armored sides. Then she commenced to list and sink. Flags Were Presented to the Duryaa Schools. Washington, May 31.—A report received here today from ollieial sources says that the principal engagement between the Itussian and Japanese fleets came to an end on May 2S, and that the surrender of the remaining ships of the Kusuian lleut was accepted by the Japanese. Mr. Biddle told Secretary Taft that Mr. Bowen said that he wanted his side of the case presented, but that he did not care to be quoted. Thereupon he had placed papers, Including this letter, in Mr. Biddle's hands. The explanation of the letter as contained in Mr. Loomis' statement to Secretary Taft, is in substance as follows: Warrants Out Since Last February Served Today. "Now, I want all you people to remember the two sides of the lesson taught by General Slocum's life. A successful war for unrighteousness Is the most dreadful of all things. It is the thing that sets back more than aught else the course of civilization.

From School Houses. The Spanish government sold a torpedo boat to the government of Venezuela for $77,200. Instead of the cash it was arranged that the Venezuelan government should turn over $li):{,000 In salt bonds at their face value. After reimbursing itself to the extent of $77,- 200 the Spanish government was to turn over the remainder of the stilt bonds to the American minister In Caracas, the proceeds of which were to be applied to meeting certain claims against the Venezuelan government. ing it Was Forgotten Great interest was taken by the people of Duryea In the celebration attendant on the presentation of Hags to the schools of that borough, yesterday afternoon. A short time ago, offers of llags were made by Camp 257, P. O. S. of A., a.nd the Daughters of Liberty, both active fraternal organizations of this city, who have for a number of years followed the beautiful custom of donating llags to be placed on school houses of this section. The offers were accepted and arrangements made for the formal presentation, of the same yesterday afternoon. Members of the organizations mentioned, together with the now First Regiment band, Slocum council, Jr. O. U. A. M., and Co. N, of the same order, assembled In this city soon after noon yesterday, and took tho electric cars for Duryea, where they were joined by the school children of the borough, led by their principal, Prof. Hegan, Burgess Warren and tho school directors. The parade formed at the high school building and marched to the new scheol building, where a platform had been erected on the grounds for the use of the speakers. Prof, Regan presided, and Burgess Warren and the school directors occupied scats on the platform. Patriotic songs were rendered by the school children with much enthusiasm. The principal address was delivered by B. F. Myers, of Wil- Uesbarre, who had been secured by the Daughters of Liberty. Mr. Myers delivered a most excellent speech of a patriotic nature and aroused much patriotic spirit among Ills hearers. The Hag presentations then took place. Rev. John A. Bender presented, on behalf of Camp 257, P. O. S. of A., a line American (lag to be placed on the high school building, while Mrs. Oliver Herron presented, on behalf of the Daughters of Liberty, another tine flag to be placed on the new school building. Music by tho band brought to a close a very Interesting programme. The people of Duryea appreciate the generosity as well as the patriotic spirit that led the Pittston organizations to present the flags, and Prof. Regan, on behalf of tho schools, made suitable acknowledgment of the gifts in a neat speech. After evathng warrants for the past four months John Provillso and Joseph Rubin.sky, foreigners, who resided in Port Griffith, were arrested this morning and are now" in the county Jail -awaiting a hearing. These two men belonged to a gang of five foreigners, who one day last February, set upon a Jewish driver named Sam Hrown, of Wilkesbarre, and gave him a very severe beating. Brown was going through an unfrequented part of Port Griffith, when he was set upon by tills gang, which had been lying in wait for him. He was knocked from his wagon by being struck by a stone and was then given a severe beating, being left along the road in a weak condition. Brown recognized his assailants and, after a time, was able to make his way to Alderman Barrett'3 office. He had a deep cut on his head, which bled profusely, and was otherwise injured. Warrants were issued for the five men, charging them with aggravated assault and battery. When a constable went to serve the warrants he was unable to locate the men and learned that all of them had left the vicinity after the beating for parts unknown. A search of the vicinity was made for them, but it was of no avail. "The man who possesses great ability and great courage, unaccompanied by the moral sense, a courage and ability unguided by the stern pur]tone to do what Is just and upright, that man is rendered by the fact of having the courage and the ability only so much the greater menace to the community in which he unfortuuately dwells. We cannot afford as a people ever to forget for one moment that ability, farsightedness, Iron resolution, perseverance, willingness to do and dare are qualities to be admired only if they are put at the service of the right, at the service of decency and of justice. Qualities to Be Admired. The only warships known to have escaped are the second class protect! ( cruisers Almaz and Izumrud, which were badly damaged in the last of the sea figlit on Sunday evening. They were pursued, but escaped In the heavy mist. In the opinion of Admiral Yamamoto, minister of the navy, who has received three reports about the Izumrud, that cruiser probably foundered in the sea of Japan some time In the night. One of the Russian torpedo boats, either the destroyer Huiny or the Hravi, ran in and picked up a number of the swimmers, one of whom was recognized through a glass as Admiral Rojestvensky. Washington, May 31.—United States Minister Griscom telegraphed to the state department from Tokio, at 11:45 this morning, as follows: "Rojestvensky's skull fracturcd, requiring operation. Serious but not dangerous. Total Japanese losses to date: Three torpedo boats sunk; three officers killed and about 200 moil killed and disabled." This arrangement was approved at Washington. Among these claims were one amounting to about $11,580 due Mercador, a promoter and business man, on account of a contract; another for $11,580 on account of the German railway and several minor claims. Mercador sought a loan from A. F. Jaurett, who was at that time semiofficially attached to the American legation. Jaurett lacked $."D,000 of the necessary amount and borrowed It from Mr. Loomis, pledging a portion of the Mercador claim as security, and this was sulyscquently redeemed by the sale of a portion of the salt bonds to the banks. Mr. Loom is was on vacation and not In Caracas at the time, wlilcb accounts for the writing of the note to Mr. Russell, lie received for his $5,000 just $.",080. Under a gruelling attack by Japanese warships, aided by torpedo boats, mines and submarines, the Borodino, Oslyabya and Orel were placed out of action and followed the flagship to the bottom. In addition to thevextensive report from Admiral Togo, wireless telegrams from Nagasaki have been relayed to Tokyo from Hear Admiral Ilosoya, Hear Admiral Kamimura and Hear Admiral Yainada. Their reports account for every vessel in the Hussian fleet except the Almaz and Izumrud and four of the thirteen torpedo boat destroyers that atteTided Hojestvensky's battleships. Five destroyers were sunk and four captured. Wireless Reports. "That is one side. The other side is that no amount of good intention, no amount of sweetness in life, no amount of appreciation of decency, avails in the least in the rough work of the world as we find it unless back of the honesty of purpose, back of the decency of life and thought lies the power that makes a man a man. St. Petersburg, May 31.—General Llnievitch wired the Czar today that the news of Rojestvensky's defeat has spread throughout the army in Manchuria and that the troops are in open revolt. The report has caused the greatest excitement and comes from an authentic and reliable source. It is said in tho same sources that General Llnievitch has advised the Czar that it will be impossible to continue the war under the circumstances.The fog, which had raised and lowered intermittently during the morning, now began to settle down again, and the distance of tin? Alma/., which had now succeeded iu disengaging herself in the combat from the struggling ships, made It difficult for thein to see (Nearly, tmt the officers are positive that they saw two Japanese battleships disappear beneath the sea before their eyes and that two Japanese cruisers appeared on the point of sinking. u '•It Is true of the Individual, and it is true of tliC* lintiou. It is to the last degree desirable—I put it stronger than that—it is absolutely essential that this nation, if It is to hold the position in the future that it has held in the past, must act not only within but without its own borders hi a spirit of justice and of large generosity toward all other peoples. Although there nr# rumors here, discussed In well informed places, that the Japanese used three submarine boats in attacking the battleships, that fact cannot be established. The navy has had these submarine boats from the United Status, but it is doubtful that they could have accomplished anything in the speedy and running tight which began before noon on Saturday. The main battleships of the ltussian ileet were destroyed more than ISO miles away from where the engagement opened, and the truth probably is that the fatal damage was done by the giant torpedo boat destroyers and the new torpedo boat flotillas under command of Vice Admiral Tsu- Washington, May 31.—The following official dispatch was received this morning by the Japanese legation from Toklo: Tlie Almaz, which arrived at her anchorage here Monday evening, bears scars of the battle. Her inlzzcn mast Is shot away and one of her smokestacks is pierced by a cannon shot. But the Grozny, though engaged for several hours in n running tight at short range with a large Japanese destroyer, shows 110 signs of the fray, and finally, after her commander. Captain AndrifTski, had been wounded and an officer and three men had been killed, the Grozny succeeded in sinking her opponent with a luckily placed shot and reached Vladivostok without further adven- Nothing more wus heard of any of the gang until yesterday, when word was brought to Alderman Barrett that two of the men were again at their old haunts, having just re- Secretary Taft does not now believe that it will be necessary to take tho testimony of any witness besides Mr. Itussell, now en route to Washington from Cartagena. "It Is officially announced that In the last naval battle the damages sustained by our fleet were very slight, and none of our battleships, cruisers, destroyers or other ships was lost, except three torpedo boats." turned, evidently under the Impression that the warrants for them had been forgotten. The alderman lost 110 time In hunting up the warrapts and gave them to deputy sheriff Masl and constable James McHale to serve. The ofHcers in a short time located both men and placed them under arrest. They were taken before the alderman, who had them committed to the county jail to await a further hearing. The alderman then sent word to Brown, who stated that ho would come up to push the case against them. The hearing will likely bo held tomorrow night. Way to Invite Disaster.

"The surest way for a nation to invite disaster Is to be opulent, aggressive and unarmed. Now, we nre opulent, and I hope we will remain so. I trust that we shall never be aggressive unless aggression is not merely justified, but demanded, either by our self respect or by the interests of mankind, and finally remember that to lie aggressive, aliove all, to be aggressive in speech and not be armed, invites not merely disaster, but the contempt of mankind. Washington, May 31.—Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton announced this afternoon that he would retire from the cabinet on July 1. Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton is to accept the presidency of the Interborougb Rapid Transit company, so men prominent In financial circles heard today. The report was that he had practically accepted the place with a long contract and a large salary. Sunk by Torpedo Boats. The Japanese admiral had twentytwo torpedo boat destroyers, five of them among the largest I11 the world, in the battle against the Baltic fleet, and of the forty-six torpedo boats eight were launched after the beginning of the war and have no superiors in any of the world's fleets. It is certain that the first class battleship Alexander III. was sunk by three torpedo boat flotillas and four torpedo boat destroyers under command of Vice Admiral Tsuchiya. The report of the picket boat Tsushima verifies this. Russian Ambassador at Washington D., L. & W. SECURES CONNELL MINES Gives No Hope of Peace, Washington, May 31.—'"Until some word of peace comes out of Tsarskoe- Selo Nippon has but to fight on." This remark of Mr. Takahira, the-Japanese minister, made with the details of the victory of the Japanese fleet before him, accurately sets forth not only his opinion, but, it is .believed, that of the Washington and other neutral governments represented here regarding the effect of the battle upon Bussla's policy.
