BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.

The Baltic fleet, which has just pro-
claimed itself an international nuisance,
does not get off to the scene of the con-
would wish, and it is matter of con-
lecture what it can do when it gets
there. The delay is due to the discov-
cry of defects in the vessels, to the
necessity of training the crews, and to
accidents which are always occurring on
new and untried ships. Naval experts
consider it an exceedingly risky thing
merely from mechanical standpoint
alone, to start this great fleet on SO long
a cruise, because no harbor of refuge
is open to it, and it has no place to go
when it gets there. By the middle of
November Vladivostok, the only Rus
sian harbor in the east, will be frozen
up, and even if the fleet should reach
there safely, not ship could enter be-
fore next May. 1t is too late to rescue
Port Arthur. While it is possible for
that citadel to hold out through the win
ter, it is not probable. Indeed, there are
good reasons to expect cataclysm any
day Under the most favorable cir
cumstances. without accident or deten-
ton, it would take at least sixty days
for the fleet to get there, and that would
be nearly midwinter.
OF the thirty-seven ships in the fleet
more than half are entirely new. They
have been constructed and fitted out
in great haste, and many defects are to
be expected. Furthermore, the crews
are green and inexperienced. Most of
the engineers and machinists are I'M
tried and very few, if any, of the men
on board have ever participated in a
battle. The material of which Russian
armies and navies are made is not so
good as that OF other European nations
or the United States. although, as has
been demonstrated in every emergency
the sailors and soldiers are both great
fighters.
COMPOSITION OF THE FLEET.

The expense of maintaining cruisers
and smaller vessels varies. of course,
according to their tonnage and the size
of their crews, but, taking the Baltic
fleet altogether, ii is probable that the
average per vessel will exceed 5000, 600
year, at the lowest estimate, in time
of peace, while In time of war the eX-
pense is naturally very much greater.
EXPENSE OF COALING.
1t will cost in the neighborhood of
$500, 600 for coal to send the Baltic fleet
around to Port Arthur Under the
most favorable circumstances the sew
en- battle ships viii need at least 10000
tons the cruisers 10000 tons, the
auxiliaries 10000 tons, the repair ana
hospital ships 1000 tons each the
twelve destroyers 500 tons each, or a
total of from lO5, 600 To 10000 tons, and

after Singapore IL passed it may he
expected that the japanese will give
the Russians all they can attend To
without allowing them TO make repairs
or take on supplies. When Columbus
started out from palos in search OF a
western passage TO India his problem
was simrle compared with that OF the
admira~,n command OF this great ar
mazda.
CONSTANT VIGILANCE NECES-
SARY.
Some naval experts are of the opini-
on that the fun is going to begin be-
fore the Baltic fleet leaves the Eng
lish channel A large number of Japa-
nese torpedo boats and destroyers have
disappeared, and nobody knows what
has become of them. 1t is suspected
that they may be lying off the coast
of Africa somewhere waiting for the
Russians to come down that way. 1t
would be easy for the Japanese to fol-
low the Russians with mosquito fleet,
not only for the purpose of watching
their movements and keeping the au-
thorities at Tokyo informed as to their
whereabouts, but to fire an occasional
torpedo or drop a floating mine in their
course. The japanese have demon
strated their ability in naval warfare,
and almost anything may be expected
to happen.
1t is the popular opinion that he VIII
spend the winter cruising about in trop-
ical waters trying his ships, training
for a resumption of hosrihties in
the spring. But, wherever he
goes and whatever he does 1t will
be always necessary to look out for the
enemy. Such deliberate cruising is
considered absolutely necessary to put
the fleet in shape for battle because the
ships would scarcely be in fighting trim
IL they were to make a quick voyage
direct to the scene of hostilities. The
Russians have no Oregons or men like
Capt. Clark and his crew, and after
fifteen or eighteen thousand miles of
cruising every vessel in the fleet Will
require good deal of overhauling,
even If they are not compelled to fight
their way through.
AVAILABLE JAPANESE VESSELS.
1t is scarcely probable that the Jap
anese will let the Baltic fleet come
very near the yellow sea. 1t IS doubt
full if they allow the Russians to even
enter the Pacific without battle. They
will know every movement: every step
of the Baltic fleet will be reported, and
within a few weeks, when the cold
weather sets in, most of the japanese
ships may be released e-om the block
ade of Port Arthur, and will be free
to cruise southwark in search of the
enemy. The following is a list of YES
sells in the Japanese navy available for
that purpose, and by comparing it with
the Baltic fleet you will conclude that
the latter cannot expect an easy time.
