incident today. A large crowd was
present and much interest wastaken
in. the proceedings. No oath was re-
united, the officers speaking on their
honor.
Capt. Wellerond, of the transport
Kamtchatka, testified that during the
evening, while on the lookout. for tor-
pedo boats, he saw the outlines of a
strange craft, and heard shots. There-
u‘pon he sent a wireless message to the
flagship. saying:
“Torpedo boats follow us."
The flagship answered.
“Repont how many torpedo boats
follow you "
Capt. Wallerond answered:
"We proceed with lights extinguish-
ed. They attack us from all sides at
a distance of about ten cable lengths."
The Kemtclmtka proceeded, but.
Capt. Wallctond did not see any more
strange craft and did not hear any fur
ther shots.
Capt Clado, of the sdmirsl's flag
ship, gave a circumstantial recital of
seeing two torpedo boats. , He said:
"l first saw a strange craft through
my night glass, and then the search
lights convinced me that it was a tor-
pedo boat. At the saute time the sig-
nal officer reported another boat, which
almost collided with us. We man
oeuvred to avoid a collision and escape
a torpedo which might be discharged.
The scarchllghts then disclosed a tor-
pedo boat immediately in front of the
flagship, about fifteen cable lengths
away. We saw this one much better
than the other. as the. senrchllghts
.igllted it up. The torpedo boats
gradually drew off. At first we could
distinguish only their bows. but we af-
terwards saw them completely.
first boat disappeared after three or
four minutes. The second was Vltil-
bltI much longer."
