During the battle the town and the. forts
were bombarded by the guns of the cruiser
Otchakoff, which lies a burning wreck off
Admiralty Point, Its hull riddled with shells
and its flaunting red ensign of revolution
hauled down.
Many of the crew of.the Otchakoff were

the mutineers were carried by storm after
the mutinous floet, which Is said to have
numbered ten vessels, had surrendered and
the whole position Is now In the hands of
the troops under the command of General i
Nepleuff. The Associated Press, however.
Is unable to guarantee the correctness of
this report.
Owing to the inoperatlon of the telegraph,
details are difficult to obtain, but as the
Associated Press is authoritatively Informed
by the naval general staff tonight, the
battle whs begun by the troops on shore
who opened Are on the Otchakoff, which
was defiantly displaying the red flag.
The commander of the Otchakoff, Lieu
tenant Schmidt, Immediately accepted the
challenge, replying with both batteries, 'one
trained on the town and the other on the
fort.
Captain Zllottl, aide de camp to Admiral
Wirenius, chief of the naval general staff,
informed the Associated Press that the lat
est dispatches received from Sebastopol
showed that the. Otchakoff was on fire and
badly riddled, with Its revolutionary colors
hauled down, but he was unable to give
more definite Information.
Battle Besjlas at 8 O'clock.
According to a more detailed report re

to wane from the Admiralty, the battle

The operators of the Bt. Petersburg tele

ANNAI"OLI3, Md.. Nov. Midshipman
Minor Meriwether today told to the court
martial his story of the fist fight between
him and Midshipman ' Jamea R. Branch,
Jr., which was followed by the death of
Branch. He closed It with the words:
"I have never seen him since. We parted
as friends."
Meriwether's evidence excited greater in
terest -than has any previous portion of the
trial, and while speaking the accused was
at times visibly affected. When he left the
witness stand the defense rested.
The prosecution called'ln rebuttal several
midshipmen. Dr. Thomas, neurologist of the
Johns Hopkins hospital; Burgeon Byrnes of
the navay academy, and Captain George P.
Colvocoresses, commandant of mldsFllpmen.
It Is expeVted that argiiment of counsel will
be concluded and the case given to the
court on Friday.
Meriwether's Testimony.
Midshipman Meriwether took the witness
stand in his own behalf. His story of the
trouble between himself and Midshipman
Branch did not differ substantially from
the testimony of previous witnesses. He
told of paving had a fight with Midship
man Humphreys in 1901 In which the latter
"knocked out" witness. "
Speaking of the fight when the feud came
to a head, Meriwether said:
"I went In Branch's room and the light
was turned on. I said that I had come
to see him about what had occurred.
Branch said: 'You are a damn fool to
come to see me; you know that my class
hates you.' 1 said: That is not so; you
are the only one who does. Branch then
asked: "What If I do?' I said: 'Then you
are a d d sneaking coward and I will
fight you, though I am not In fighting con
dition.' I added: 'If you get up I will
lick you.' He said: 'You mean you will
try.' That what I will.' I said, 'and If
you get up I will show you.' He did not
get up and after a little further conversa
tion Jaeger and I left the room."
"I called Branch what I did because I
wae told the custom was that a fight
woulkl end feeling and Branch had told me
he was going to 'bilge' me. that Is, make
me fall, and I wanted to flcht and end ;
the matter. I did not Intend to fight when j
I went to the room but he again told me
that h. Intended to bilge me."
Meriwether's counsel then asked htm
about his refraining from hitting Branch
during the fight although allowed to do
so under the rules. The witness toli
of two Instances of this, explaining he did
not believe any blows should be struck in
a stand off fight unless mcji are on their
feet. He also told how he fouled and of
fered to give up the fight but the seconds
would not allow it.

as to what Branch had done, Meriwether

It was evident that Meriwether heMltuted
to mention certain things before the

defense announced that it had closed Its
