‘War” Must Qo On, Says Czar.
By Telegraph to The Herald.
St. Petersburg, May 30.—"The war
must go on. I cannot betray Russia’s
future merely for the sake of pleas
ing my unruly subjects." Thus spake
the Czar today. When the report
reached him that Rojestvensky had
been killed the Czar expressed the
belief that such a great catastrophe
as Rojestvensky’s death was impos
sible. He was deeply affected by the
report and expressed his inflexible
resolution to continue the war until
the Japanese had been defeated.

to a dispatch believed to be official,

Is Russian Admiral at Vladivostock:
Paris, May 30.—A St. Petersburg
correspondent to the Petit Journal
says that news has been received
from Vladivostock of the arrival there
of four ships of the Russian fleet, also
of the torpedo boat destroyer Bravy,
on board of which is Admiral Rojest
vensky. The Admiral is suffering
from wounds inflicted by bursting
shells. He has been, it Is declared,
taken to the hospital, and is in a se
rious condition.
From reports received, it appears
that all the Russian officers died
bravely, but were incapable of de
fending their ships and lives. Orders
signalled from the flagship were bad
ly executed. The seamen wero unfit
for service, many of them throwing
themselves into the sea, maddened
with the accurate fire of the Japa
nese.

Outline of Saturday's Battle.
Tokio, May 30.—In the absence, of
official information, the following is
a vague outline of what is known to
be the facts of the great battle:
It is generally understood that the
Japanese maintained two picket lines
south of the straits, also a line furth
er south during the day time. Satur
day the pickets picked up the Rus
sians as they approached. The pick
ets relied for inforcements from what
might be called a weaker squadron
lying east of Tsu Island. As the Rus
sians approached, a wireless message
was sent to Togo, who was watching
the western straits, by which it was
expected the Russians would ap
proach. He dispatched an old Iron
clad to meet the Russians and lure
them in the direction df Oku Island.
Saturday tho first mentioned squad
ron, having the advantage of light in
their position westward, attacked the
Russians. Meanwhile Togo circled
north of Tsu and Oki islands
and appeared behind the Russains.
After that it is supposed he drove
them over mines. As a result of this
maneuver, four Russian ships wero
sunk that night.
London, May 29.—King Edward has

flight with at least fourteen ships
sunk.
Practically his entire squadron Is

vensky, and until he reports, or some
of the Russian vessels reach some
haven of refuge, full details of the
battle or the full list of the casual
ties cannot bo known.
It became known today that Rojest
vensky had divided his fleet into sev
eral divisions, each being ordered to
take a different route around Japan
to reach Vladivostok. Ono of these
divisions, which is believed to be the
main battleship squadron under Ad
miral Rojestvensky, tried to forco a
passage through tho straits of Corea,
and pass through tho sea of Jnpan
to reach Vladivostock.
