Russian. Ships Were Unable to Escape From the Ring of Fire Which Encircled Them. TOKIO A Japaneso officer who has returned to Sasobo gives tho fol lowing account of tho sea fight oft tho Teu Islands: At 5:30 Saturday morqlng a wire less messago reading: "Tho enemy's squadron is in sight," reached ' tho naval baso. This message waB trans mitted to nil our ships by tho flag ships with instructions to got ready for action. Our squadrons loft their rendezvous and headed for tho east ern channel off Tsushima. Our men seemed to bo filled with new Inspira tion and wero eager for tho long de layed light to bogln. When Tsushima was sighted to tho southwest tho sea was rough and tho torpedo boats wero forced to run for tho shelter of tho Island. Our third fighting squadron with tho Takashlho Jo port reconnolt erod tho Russian courso, and at 11:30 a. m. Informed tho main squadron by wireless telegraph that the Russian ships wero passing into the east chan nel, whereupon our main squadron, changing Its course, somewhat to tho southward, camo In Bight of Okln shlma at 1 o'clock In tho afternoon. Tho third -division arrived later and Joined tho main squadron. Tho first and Bccond divisions, accompanied by tho destroyer flotilla, changed to a westerly course, whllo tho third divi sion and tho fourth destroyer flotilla headed slight eastward. During the maneuver tho Russian flagship ap peared to tho south ward at 1:45 o'clock. Tho Russians Bteamed up In doublo column. Tho fleet was numer ous, but no living being was visible. Tho Russian ships. seemed to bo In good order. Our ships hoisted the flag of action, the Miknsa signaling "Tho destiny of our empire depends upon this action) You aro nil oxpected to do your utmost." Russians Open Fire. Our men seemed to silently weigh tho significance of this signal. Our first and second divisions turned to tho Russian's stnrboird, while the third division kept in close touch with tho preceding two divisions. With tho .Tnpanoso ship passing in this order it was 2:13 o'clock when tho Russians opened Are. The flro two shots foil short of our line, and It was somo minutes later before we commenced firing. Then tho battle was on with firing from both sides. Our destroy ers kept on the port side of the main squadron and In this formation we pressed the Russians against the coast of Klushiu and they wero obliged to chnnge thetr courso to tho cast. Wo also maneuvered our ships so as to have thoir bows parallel to tho north side of tho Russian line. So tho Miknsa of our first division, which had been leading, changed to the roar of tho line, while tho Knsuga headed tho line. Engagement Is Fierce. Tho engagement now became vory fierce. Tho Borodino was seen to bo on Are. A llttlo later the Russians headod west and we changed our course accordingly. Flvo ships of our second divison concentrated ther fire on the Borodino.

Tho engagement proceeded hotly. Our second division followed a courso parallel with the northern sldo of tho Russians, and this movement completed tho envelop ment The Russian ships were seen trying to break through and our de stroyer flotilla Intercepted their new courso. This stato of envelopment continued until tho following day with tho ships at varying distances. Thus enclosed on all sides, tho Russians wore helpless nnd powerless to escape tho circle. Previous Instructions had been given the destroyers nnd torpedo boats to attack the Russian ships. Fol lowing Instructions, the fifth destroy er flotilla advanced against a Russian ship, upon which tho second division had been concentrating its fire, signal ing: "Wo aro going to give the. last thrust at them." Torpedo Boats Attack. Tho Russian ship continued to fight, nnd seeing tho approachng torpedo boats, directed Its flro on them. Un dauitted, our dostroyers pressed for ward, tho Chitoso mcantimo continu ing its fire. The torpedo flotilla ar rived within 200 meters of tho Rus sian ship and the Shlrnnus fired tho first shot Two other torpedo boats flrod ono each. The Shlrnnus received two shells, but tho other boats wero not damaged. Tho Russian ship was completely sunk. Sundown saw tho battle raging furi ously. Our shells wero evidently tell ing on tho Russians, who showed signs of confusion. Our fifth torpedo boat flotilla, after destroying the Borodino, followed In tho wake of our second division, the signnl rending: "Something like tho Russians' sub marines havo been sighted. Attack them." Tho flotilla followed and located the object which proved to 1)0 n sinking ship with its overturned bottom show ing. Thirty survivors clung to the wreck, crying for assistance. Firing ceased with the aprroach of darkness. Attack During Night. According to orders given for a tor pedo bont nttaoli after dark all tho de stroyer flotilla, dividing into two squadrons, urdeoded to attack tho Russians dvrinc tho wholo night. The Russians frustrated tho first and sec ond attacks with smrchlights. A third attempt wns carefully planned nnd the Yugarl sank a ship of tho Borodino tvpe and also hit others. During the nleht tho Russians continued to movo nnd wo preserved our enveloping movement some distance from the Russian position. The Russians head ed northeast after davbreak, hoping to reach Vladivostok.
