There has been STAINED relations be-

their Kisses at the Russians at the per-
formances have not bettered the feel
ing. but last night is the first time that

RUSSIAN NAVY BLAMED.
Paper Boldly attacks System of
Hiding Defects.

FetersbVarss. OH, aaltspairan ar
tcle in reply 10 the recent letter OF Admiral
BIrilen. which appealed to the Russians not to
criticise openly the condition of the navy. the
Russ to-day declares the time IS past for
silence since the "old system OF concealing facts
is responsible for the loss OF 150OO0OO0 rubles'
worth Of warships and has covered with
shame and grief. 1t would be absurd TO hide the
defects that stiu be repaired in the ships
which remain at Cronstadt and Libau. We have
already criminaly wasted enough time" The
Russ enumerates the defects in the ships still
IN Russian waters and says:
The pecuharities OF structure Of several Of the
vessels destined for the Far East make the vOy-
age dangerous. and the torpedo boats are IN such
a shocking condition that 1t is matter OF sur
prise that the authorities accepted their deliv-
cry. Torpedo boats intended 20 reinforce Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky must clearly not be dis
patched with the numerous defects which have
been proved to exist in them.
Even IL Admiral Rojestvensky IS a clever
leader and his 1900 comrades are heroic sail
ors, every one knows that we have imposed on
them almost superhuman task in conse-
quence of not being furnished with a true
account of the gravity of the events which have
occurred since the fatal night OF February S.
