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 received a cablegram from official sources announcing that the Japa nese are victorious in the greatest sea light In the history of the world.

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.
