Tokio.-The object of the Russian
feet which left Vladivostok some
days ago and since reported cruising
of the Japanese main coast, Ii now
believed to be the capture Of several
liners plying between San Francisco
and Seattle and oriental points. These
include the large vessels Of the Pacific
Mail Steamship company and the
Northern Pacific company.
Fishermen have sighted the Rus
sian ships during the last few days
and declare that they are steaming
slowly and apparently are economizing
In the matter Of coal.
The danger to ships trading In The
Japanese ports is a decidedly immt
nent one and the belief is general here
that within a very few days news OF
the capture Of several well known Pa
cific liners may be expected. There
are few vessels trading with the
western contingent that are fast
enough to keep out of the way Of the
Russian feet, all Of the three cruisers
which comprise the latter being better
than 20 knots In speed.
AS Russia has included foodstuffs In
its declaration as to what constitutes
contraband of war and as San Fran
cisco, Seattle and Vancouver mc,-
chants have been doing a thriving
business in the latter class Of goods,
there is little doubt that most Of the
steamships plying between the two
countries violate the spirit II not the
letter of the ruling.
It is reported here that the Russinn
| feet has succeeded in caching a quao-
| tity Of coal at an island in the north
Pacific SO that even If yladivostok
should be blockaded and the fleet
could not return there 1t would be III
a position to replenish its coal bunkers
and keep out Of the way Of any pur
suing fleet.
