confirmation of the sensational report
that an intercepted dispatch from the

be produced In the court of inquiry
into the recent North sea incident To
prove the existence of plot To destroy
the Russian Baltic sea fleet The story
is that the Japanese minister at The
Hague actually organized an attack on
the Russian squadron. and that the
Russians will produce message sent
by the minister containing complete
evidence that such was the case. The
message is said 20 have been inter
ceptod by the Russirns
Another remarkable story is current

that two balloons were seen lowering
over the SkageIack when the Russian
fleet entered the North sea. These bal
looms were said 10 have been manned
by Japanese with the object of watch
ing the Russians, and possibly drop
ping explosives. No hint on suspicion
is expressed i'm any responsible quar-
ter that the British government was i'm
