In the battle with the Japanese squad¬
ron Aug. 11, was burlyd last Weiinee-
day with most iuipre»*lva mlHlaiy hon.

the town attended the funeral, ’’ -
Most of the wounded officers now
In the hospital are expected to do
well and of tlie wounded men the re¬
covery of 312 Is now assured.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who has vis¬
ited the hospital, complimented the
survivor* and distributed among them
the cross of St. Ov .rge.
Tragic Death of Lieutenant Braah.
The death of Lieutenant Brash, of
the cruiser Oromobol, Is reiKirted to
have been particularly tragic. Ht
was hurled from the bridge of the
cruiser by the explosion of a shell.
Although mortally wounded, the lieu¬
tenant pulled himself together and
continued to Issue orders and encour¬
age the men until ho was removed be¬
tween decks. A man seriously wound¬
ed by the same shell continued doing
his duty, and did not report to thu
surgeons for treatment until the next-
day.
The Gromobo! and the Boss I a pre.
sent a battered appearance. Their
smokestacks show great rents, wHle
the masts, bridges and ventilators
look like sieves, and there are marks
of battlp everywhere. Guns are
dismantled. Isiats Shattered and there
are enormous holes in the cruiser’s
hull, through which a nmn could easi¬
ly pans. The cabins were completely
wrecked. *
Shells Performed Queer Actiona.

formed queer actions. In' the Ron-
sin a shell burst in a clothes cub*

to shreds Jmi n mirrow was not even

knacks on a writing table nearby were
hot disturbed. ' In another part < f th*
cruiser the walls were blackened by
the sjnoke of a fierce fire In which
eight men were burned alive, yet an
almanac on the will was not oven
scorched. Aboard the Gromobol a
shell entered the wardrobe and
wrecked the furniture, hut a parrot
cage was untouched.
Coolness and Bravery of Men.
All the officers are full of praise
for the coolings and bravery of the
men who died in the battle without a
murmur. Comrades took their places
without awaiting orders. It was dead¬
ly work on the upper deck, where the
gunners were without protection and
with shells striking, bursting into a
thousands fragment*. killing and
wounding men until the deck became
a veritable shambles strewn with the
dead and dying and ellppery with
blood. Not a single gunner protected
by casements lost Ills life. The val¬
ue of protective armor was demon¬
strated Whenever projectiles struck
the armored portion of the vessel*.
Many Deeds of Herolam.
There were many deed of heroism
during the five hours’ battle, but the
greatest praise of aU belongs to Cap
tain Doblch. of the OWfnobol, who
maintained his post on the bridge
from the beginning to the end of the
fight When wounded In the back,
