Nigo, Spain: The arrival of the Rus
sian battle ships Emperor Alexander
ILL.,. Borodino. Orel and Kniaz Zou-
yaron and the transport Anatoi,
which have anchored in this point,
has caused considerable excitement.
The commander of the port immedi-
ately boarded the Russian flagship and

nit the warships to coal within the
port. Admiral ROiestvensky reported
that his vessel needed repairs, and for
that reason he had been separated
from the remainder of his squadron
Five German GOLFERS anchored in port
alongside the battle ships. whereupon
the commander of the port sent an
aide-de.camp to beg Admiral Roiest
vensky not to violate Spanish neu-
trality, and he also ordered the COM
handing officer of the Spanish cruiser
Estramada to nouIy the GOLFERS that
they must obey the port authorities
Eventually Admiral Rojestvensky
promised that he would not coal in
Spanish waters at the same time beg
ging the commander OF the port to
obtain the governments permission
for each warship 10 take on 400 tons of
coal with which to reach Tangier
Shortly afterward three GOLFERS sailed
for Tangier, but two remained along
side the Russian warships.
