PLANS TO ATTACK FLEET?
Copenhagen authorities Credit Re-
port of Japanese Vessels at Hull.

Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 27-The CORE
spondent of The Associated Press learns that
the Danish Ministry of Marine was Informed
that several ships were chartered by the Japan
ese at Hull and intended 10 attack the Russian
second Pacific squadron in the North Sea The
russians were informed of this. The marine
authorities here credit the report
Ihe Dams Ministry was officially informed
that thirteen Swedish vessels had been chartered
by the japanese to attack the Russian squadron
IN the Baltic. A Danish cruiser and a torpedo
boat watched the vessels so closely that their an
proach TO the Russian squadron was impossible
While thus engaged the Danish torpedo boat
Harvester had narrow escape. The COM
mander of q Russian battleship mistook the
Danish torpedo boat for an enemy and fired a
blank shot The Quckness of the torpedo boat
in displaying its flag saved her. This happened
at night time. When the captain of the torpedo
boat boarded the battleship he found large
quantities of ammunition piled ready for use
This incident was reported to the Danish Marine
Minister at the time
Danish warships acted as police for the Pms
sian squadron until the latter reached the North
Sea.

courts the fullest Inquiry, and suggests that
court of inquiry could be held at vigo.
Reports that Great Britain has demanded the
punishment of the authors of the trawler Incl
dent are untrue. Great Britain has not yet made
any specific demands. except for an inquiry,
pending which there be question of
demand for punishment.
According to word received here Great Britain
will at once begin the most formal and most
searching inquiry into the affair.
In diplomatic circles Rojestvensky's report
created the keencst interest. The feeling is that
the situation demands impartial investigation
70 determine the facts to the satisfaction OF both
parties and to the world generally. The mystery
is not considered to ba cleared up One of the
things particularly pointed out is the fact that
Rojestvensky's report was written after he had
seen the foreign accounts OF the affair
DELAY REGARDED AS SUSPICIOUS
The Admiralty is unable to explain why, after
being attacked. he waited four days before re-
porting, and that he then took pains to reply to
the allegations OF the press In come quarters
this is regarded as suspicious. OF course. the
government accepts the report in perfect good
faith. but If inquiry should prove that the
report was prepared TO shield himself the most
severe punishment will be meted out to him. If.
the contrary, 1t Is proved to be correct II will
place Great Britain in an awkward position In
either event the situation might be rendered
Is that pending solution OF all the questions in
doubt the greatest tact and moderation should
be observed by the statesmen and newspapers
Of both countries.
Paris Oct. PA dispatch from Vigo pub
lished here to-day gives another interview with
Prince Keretelli, an officer on board the Rus
sian battleship Imperator Alexander III, Civ
ing further details of the North Sea incident.
He says:
The transport Areadaur (Anatol?) was enter
ing the waters off Hull, when she suddenly OBJ
served herself to be surrounded by numerous
boats, which she took for torpedo boats. The
transport gave a signal of alarm to the remain
der OF the fleet, and the Russian battleships
thereupon surrounded the unknown boats. cut
ting off their escape. They were ordered to make
known their nationality, but answered only
by evolutiOns The adniral's ship Immediately
ordered them to be fired upon, and then contin-
ued its route without being alarmed to the
results of the cannonade, because it was be-
lieved the encounter was with torpedo boats
bought by the Japanese in England.
Prince Keretelli added that before the Russian
cannonade began single cannon shot was dis
tinctly heard coming from the direction OF the
unknown boats.

DEEP FEELING IN RUSSIA.
Situation More Delicate than Here
tOfore-Confdence an admiral.

ST. Petersburg Oct. 27.-The mystery Of the
trawler affair, instead OF being cleared up by
Vice-Admiral ROJestvensky's report, to-day ap-
pears to be deeper than ever. The Russian ad-
mirars explanation IS hailed with the greatest
satisfaction at the Admiralty and elsewhere but
it is felt that a tiirect issue has now been raised
between Russia and Great Britain and that the
incident has entered upon even more delicate
stage. Public sentiment in both countries doubt
less will demand the most searching investiga-
ton to establish the facts. and probably neither
nation will be willing to accept the result OF an
ex-parte inquiry by the other. The outcome
probably will be mixed tribunal Of some sort
This at least Is the suggestion OF some Of the
cooler men here. as it is felt that only thus
could a repetition OF the Maine inquiry BE
avoided
Popular excitement has reached pitch un-
equalIed since the beginning Of the war PuoHc
sympathy and confidence undoubtedly are with
Admiral Rojestvensl1y. and should Russia
choose to stand upon his version without fur-
ther inquiry there is no question: but such
course would be popular with the masses VINO
would be willing to back the government in the
controversy TO the utmost extremity. 1t Is most
unlikely. however that the government will
adopt such a course 1t is much more probable
that after the first flush of excitement has
faded a middle way Will be found whereby the
facts can be established and the national Prloe
OF both countries be maintained.
vice-Admiral ROjestvensky's explanation OF
the trawler incident is fully as sensational
as the news OF the firing upon the hsn-
ing Neet whfsh set all England ahame He
declares he was attacked in the darkness
by two torpedo boats which came upon
the squadron from the direction Of the fishing
fleet. He opened fire, and believes he sank one
Of the torpedo boats. the other making OF for
cover among the fishermen. AS soon as ne no
ticed the fishermen Admiral Rojestvensky
ceased firing. He proceeded on his way without
leaving any vessel behind. and Gays he believes
the vessel which the fishermen reported as re-
naming on the scene for six hours without Of
fering succor to the drowning men was the
other torpedo boat. either waiting for her con-
sort or repairing damage inflicted by the fire of
his ships.

RUssIA's BLACK SEA FLEET.
Attitude of the Powers g Question Of Allow
ing Passage Of Dardanelles.

Rome. Oct 2T.-Although no request has been
received by the Italian government from Russia
regarding the removing of the international re-
strictions on the passage of the Dardanelles by
ships of war, the question has been more or less
discussed among the powers since last January,
when Great Britain addressed protest to Tur-
kew against the passage OF the straits by Rus
sian torpedo boats. While no conclusion was
reached the attitude Of the different powers
appears TO he as follows
Great Britan-Decidedly opposed.
C;ermany-Consders herself unconcerned
spectator, whose interests in the disputed mat
ter would be neither furthered nor prejudiced
bv whatever solution might be reached.
Austria-AIways upheld the principle that the
Dardanelles should be open to all or none.
Franee-Because Of her present alliance with
Russia. France views the question i'm different
light from that in which she regarded 1t at the
time of the Crmean War, when. allied with Eng
iand in the treaty Of 1856. which was confirmed
by the treaty Of Berlin. she favored the prohibit
ton Of warships passing the straits.
Notwithstanding the intimate relations
between the houses of Savoy and Romanoff this
government has no reason 60 change from the
attitude assumed I'm the Crimean War in which
Piedmont participated the ally of England.
The Italian Anglophtle feeling is voiced to-
night by the "Tribuna." leading government
paper. which calls Admiral ROJestvensky luna
tic adding that If complete and prompt salts
faction Is not given. war will be inevitable.
st. Petersburg. Oct. 27.-The Foreign Once
is prepared to sound the continental powers as
to whether they will object TO the removal Of the
restrictions governing the passage OF the Oar
danelles by her Black Sea fleet.
