"VARYAG'S CREW IN SINGAPORE.
USSIAN REFUGEES FOR COLOMID. CHEERFUL, CONTENTED CROWD, The London steamer Nam Sang, which trades between Hongkong and Calcutta, arrived at Singapore to-day (says the Straits Times of 29th ult.) having on board 267 members of the crew of the Russian cruiser Varyag which was attacked by the Japanese at Chemulpo and destroyed Captain Harris, who is in supreme military command, says that if all Russian sailors resembled those on board the Mum Sang then it was a slander to say they were otherwise than clean, contented, cheerful and well behaved.

On any subject the Russian officers were willing to talk except about the war. "We don't consider that we are entitled to speak of what took place at Chemulpo," said one to our representative. But it leaked out, as these things frequently do, that the scene on the Varyag when the Japanese thundered their shot and shell on the decks of the ill-fated vessel would have barrowed the heart of the most callous. The decks were strewn with limbs, pieces of shattered flesh, unrecognisable forms which hinted at parts of the human frame. Brains bespaltered the laffrails. young midshipman was standing looking over the rail when a Japanese shell struck him. All that remained was an arm. It must have been a ghastly sight and there is little wonder that the Russian officers declined to recall the scene.

On the morning of the 9th February the approach of a Japanese squadron was signalled. Everything was ready to repulse the caemy ig case of an atack.
Our squadron was composed of the ironclads Petropavlovsk, flying the flag of Vice-Admiral Stark, commanding the squadron, the Poltava, the Sevastopol, and the Persevier, Rying the Bag of Fear Admiral.Prince Oukhtomsky; the cruisers Bayan, Diana, Askold, Boyarin, Novik, and the transport Sungara. All, under full steam, were ready to engage.
Towards eight o'clock, four Japanese second- class cruisers passed in front of the squadron, moving from Liaotishan towards the south- east, and evidently desiring to draw our vessels into following them.
The Bayaris, sent to ascertain their move meats, returned at 10.35 a.m. and announced the approach of the enemy in considerable force.
At 13.7 am. there appeared on the horizon the enemy's fleet consisting of ra units, six first-class battleships and six first-class pro tected cruisers. The four vessels previously seen followed them in line.
At 11.10 am, the enemy opened fire at a distance of about four miles, with sa-inch guns.- Immediate response was made from our side.
At the beginning of the battle cur ships were all in one line, but they presently drew up in double formation. The cruisers Askold- and Boyasin withdrew aft of the "Luin rocks, the cruiser Novič stood off Liaotishan, and the cruiser Bayan was between our battleships and the enemy.
The forts opened fire after the squadron. During the battle, the Viceroy and his staff. took up positions on Golden Hill.
Fighting took place at a range of from 40 to zz cables and lasted from 30 to 45 minutes.
The enemy's squadron having approached to within about 25 cables turned when south of Liaotishan towards the south and disappeared in the light mist which covered the horizon.
The batteries on Golden Hill and Electric Hill were most exposed to the enemy's fire and these places were covered with fragments of shell. A great many shells fell in the old town, as far as and including Quail Hill.'
Among the vessels which took an active part in the engagement, the Novik, the Arkold and the Diana received slight damage.
At the end of the fight a dense column of steam and smoke was observed on one of the Japanese boats and it is thought that this vessel sank.
The last reports received are that six of the enemy's ships were damaged and their lossos' in killed and wounded were 150.
Our losses were:-
