Sir Frederick Pollock. an authority

firing it could only be due to suspicion
OF some hostile attack upon the fleet.

SUPPRESSED IN RUSSIA.
Censor Would Not Allow North Sea
Story to Ee-Published.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-No official
information from Vice Admiral NO
~iestvensky, commander of the second
Pacific squadron, u from other RUS
sian sources had reached the authors
ties up to . p m. in regard to the fir
ing by the squadron upon the British
fishing boats early Saturday in the
North sea. The authorities are dumb
founded by the press reports of the
affair, and cannot credit the accounts
as presented. For this reason the cen
sor today declined to allow the publ
cation of the foreign accounts of the
affair.
In the highest quarters where re-
ports were circulated. the gravity OF
the affair was fully realized and the
incident was greatly deplored. That
Russia will offer apologies and repara-
tion and make the honorable amend,
admits of no doubt: but with the In
famed state of public opinion in Great
Britain, and coming on the heels of the
sinking by the N~ladivostok squadron
of the British teamer Knight Com
mande". and the Red sea incidents, it
is feared the situation may become
acute and unless the cool heads among
British statesmen proceed calmly.
Unfortunately. in meeting such a sit
uation the Russian governmental ma
chinery is so cumbersome as to render
prompt the action which such n situa-
ton seems to demand. almost impos-
sible. Everything will depend on the
character of the British demands. Here
it is considered, lies the principal dan
ger of the posi- , punishment of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky, or even the re-
call of the squadron. as some Brltlst
intimate it is likely tc
create a situation here which would
make it hard, if not impossible, to hum
BILE Russian pride to such an extent.

SQUADRON AT cHERBouRa.
Greatest Vigilance Maintained for Fear
of japanese Attacks.

C~herbourg, France, Oct. 26.-The adj
vance guard of the Russian second Pa
cinc squadron consisting of torpedo
boats, is in the outer harbor. The main
squadron is expected here. but 1t is
uncertain whether the warships will
enter the harbor The vessels which
first arrived here were not with the
larger ships when the latter fired on
tbs British fishing boats in the North
sea, and therefore it is Impossible to
obtain a Russian version of the affair.
The torpedoboats are surrounded by
guardboats and the utmost vigilance is
maintained. owing to fears of Japanese
| ships being in the channel. No person
is permitted to approach them and no
person is allowed to come ashore except
the DOStman.

Special stress is laid on the callous-
ness displayed by the Russians in not
going to the assistance of the Usher

to give satisfaction. as 1t apnears Rus
sian officials had reason to believe there
were mines or ships with mines In
the ~neighborhood where the fishing
fleet was attacked.
Lord Lansdowne reached London this
afternoon and after gathering the lat
est details known at the foreign Office
regarding the firing on the British fish
ing boats. proceeded to buckingham
