the relevant facts. Although the cole

The Associated Press has strong reason
10 believe that the letter from Vgo
published iu the Novoe Vremya this
morning represents practically the sub
stance nj Vice Admiral Rojestyenskys
detailed reports submitted 20 En-
peror Nicholas today by Capt. Clado.
Indeed Il is almost certain that the let
ter was written by Capt Clado himself
u has attracted much attention, being
accepted by the public as weil as by the
Novoe Nremya ms the complete Rus
sian version OF the North sea Incident
Commenting edtorIaly on the letter
the Noyoe Nramya declares It shows IL
was not q case Of panic, nor OF the mis-
reading of signals but of cool oalcua-
ton OF the time for the arrival Of The
torpedoboats after they were sighted by
the Russian transport Kamtchatka. The
Noyoe Vremya says the commission
win have am opportunity OF seeing the
wireless messages on the subject
Four points Of the Russian case. az
presented simultaneously by special
dispatches from Paris to two papers
here, which bear evidence that they
came from inspired sources, are as fol-
lows
j. Information which reached Vice
Admiral Rojestyensky as he was leav-
ing Danish waters showed that sus-
picous vessels were Ia the North sea,
navigating first under one flag and then
under another
@ The transport Kamtchatka's report
by wireless telegraph some time before
the incident occurred, that she had seen
two torpedoboats Cthe Samtcha,ka be-
ing then 30 miles behind tho squadron).
g. Later the receipt Of a suspicious
wireless message signed "Kamchatka
asking Tor the exact latitude aud longi-
iudc Of the squadron, a message which
t was afterwards nsceruluel was
never sent by the Kamchatka
g. Then the appearance NJ two tor
nedoboats alongside the squadron which
could not have been Russian, as all the
Russian torpeloboats were then in the
English channel The squadron did
not Ore untR the torpedoboats we're
.eon.
Tine Tact that only seven iorpcloboa,s
irc uow with tho squadron whereas
sight len Llbau, is explained by the
act that one OF them broke before the
squadron lefi Danish waters and was
owed back 10 Litau by the Russian
cebrenkor Ermak
The reports of British warshlps fol-
owing up the various divisions Of the
Russian squadron are creating intense
irritation here. The Sylet says.
"Thc shadowiug Of the Russian
squadron by British cruisers cannot go
,u This game must be stopped and
6e sooner tho better"
