Hull. England. Oct. 24.—A. M. Jackson
& Company, solicitors for the owners
of fifty Hull fishing boat*, notified the
foreign office, and admiralty Sunday of an
attack on the Hull fishing fleet by the
Russian second Pacific squadron, com-
monly known as the Baltic fleet, com-
manded by Vice Adinir.il Rojeutvensky.
The official information Is that, shortly
after midnight l-'iiday. the Russian squad-
ron Ml in with tin* Hull fishing fleet in
the North sea. The first portion of the
fishing fleet passed s.ifely. Then the
Russian ships turned their searchlights
on the lfrilluh vessels for some time
• nd a I: Je later opened fire.
The ste.-m trawler Crane was sunk and
the'decapitated ho lies of her aklpper nnd
mate have been brought to Hull. The
boatswain "nil "ther members of the cre«4
who aro understood to be seriously
wounded are on hoard a mission ship.
The only slightly Injured member of the
crcw has arrived at Hull.
SHOT FULL OF HOLES.
The steamer trawlers Moulmein and
Mlno have arrived ift Hull seriously dam-
aged by shots, the latter having sixteen
hoIe«j In her hull. It is feared that the
other damage was done fo trawlers an I
that at least one more was lost with all
hands.
From Interviews with members of trawl-
er crews It appears that the admiral of
the fishing fleet hurm-d green flares to
Hhow that they were harmless fishermen,
but these signals were Ignored.
Eighteen injured men are her® under
treatment.
One trawler, the Wren, is missing and
it is feared she has been sunk.
There were many distressing pcenes at
Hull during the d-ty and night, relatives

NEWS OF BLUNDER.
London, Oct 24.—The actual casual-
ties during the one-sided bombardment
off Dogger Bank can be correctly stal-
ed'since the arrival at London this
evening of the carrying ship Swirt re-
porting the eafety of tiie missing
trawlers. The Swift left the fleet at
30 a. m. on October 23. Her captain
Bays:
"The Russians gave not the slight-
est warning prior to the commence-
ment or the firing. The admiral of
the fishing fleet sent up a rocket if
warning and then the ftrting com-
menced. He again sent up four green
but this only NenH to in
crease the frrocity of the bombard-
ment. The poor marksmanship of the
Russian gunners was the only thing
that saved the entire fleet within
range of the searchlights and guns."
At the inquest at Hull today It
was stated that one vessel, the Crane,
•was sunk and that four or five were
more or less damaged. In the state-
ment of the coroner to the Jury that
official said It was a question of very
grave and possibly International Im-
portance; but II would be their duty to
find who were the murderers of th •
dead men. After the Identification of
the bodies the inquest adjourned to
November 2.
