THE SAILING OF Tns srRELoK.

THE SAILING OF THt sTRELoK.
NORFOLK, VA, April S0.--The Russian
'orvette Strelok, after leaving this port
IN Tuesday night, passed out to see, and
8 now supposed to be ON her way TO
New York. Second Secretary Gregor,
)f the Russian legation, arrived here
but left at once for
when ne learned that the
StrelolI had departed. The British.ship
Garnett il still at Old Point Comfort,
but it Is thought she will follow the
Strel0k at once. The Russian shin
seems to have given her Antagonist the
slip. The Garnet was close by the
Strelok until Monday, whom
she dropped down 10 Fortress Mon
roe. Under international laws the Gar
net oannt follow under q hours, ii her
parpOse is to engage the Strelok Tho
StrelOk has speed OF 10 knots per hour
against the Garne}s ID, and her guns
are of much longer range than are
those of the Garnet. If the Garnet
should attempt 10 engage, she would
first haoe 10 ii nd the Strelok outside and
the Strelok might keep just outside of
range of her antagonist, and yet Sith
her superior guns play upon the Garnet.
This gives the Russian ship big adyan-
tage and although she is the small est
ship she would prove u formidable an
tagonist TO the representative o. -the
British lion.
ARRIVAL AT NEW YORK,
NEW YORK. April 30 The Russian
man-of-war Strelok, which left NOtfOllS
yesterday, prssed Sandy Hook, inward
bound, at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
SPECULATION AMONG SHIP OWNERS.
The arrival of the Russian MAJ OF.
war Strelok In the North River has
caused great deal of speculation as tC
the object. A prominent shipping man
said:
ait is more than probable thai
the StrelOk mas received secret
orders that war has been, ol
will be declared and has been ordered
to pick up transatlantic steamers. i
is certain that tho enterprise is by n,
means so difficult as 1t looks, and tina
any one of the great ocean steamers he
tween New York and Liverpool is liShl,
TO be surprised. The Strelok Is not
large vessel, being only 1885 tons r, Oils
Ter, and mounting 10 guns, foul O
| which are heavy rifled pieces. Her ere,
numbers 100 mon. She has great spae,
Of canvas, with double top sails
and might, by devices known /
sailors, easily mask her war-like char
acter and pass for an innocent mer
chairman. A reversed ensign, the sig
nal of distress, would enable her 10 az
proach Cunarder, Guion, Nations
liner, or any of the splendid vessels Cha
enter and leave this port almost daily.
A reporter visited the house Of Wn
A. Guion, jr, ana of Il. w, j. Hurst, {
the National line. They were incline
TO trust 10 the vigilance Of the Brittle
consulate and did not care TO go into oh
subject. A friend of Mr.. Hursps die
and said that If war was declared du
ing the next "a hours, 1t might possibl
happen that the different lines migl
unite and hire tie Yosemite, or son
other fast steamers. and send her out
give warning of the presence Of Il
Strelok.
