RUSSIAN BALTIC FLEET
TO START FOR FAR EAST
Doubts Are Expressed as to Its Fitness For the
Long Voyage.

"The Russians propose to undertake
the navigation of these steamers to
Vladivostok and return them safely to
the owners or pay them adequate COM
pensation."
British naval opinion does not fully
coincide with this view, which is gen.
orally entertained by insurance men,
because naval officers doubht whether
the Baltic feet is fit to make the jour
ney and fit to fight on its arrival in the
Far East.
j. naval officer of high rank said
last night relative to the question:
"If the Russian fleet is in good con
.dition and properly manned, there Is
no reason on earth why the ships
should not start for Vladivostok with
fair chance of reaching there. 1t is
the condition of the fleet that must be
considered and not the difficulties OF
the journey for they are by no means
insurmountable. It is the prevailing
opinion however, among British nava
men, that the feet is not At to start
We may be mistaken, though"

London, Oct. 5.--Uondon Times.)-
The insurance correspondent of the
Times, in this mornings issues says:
THE scepticism on the subject Of
the Baltic fleet Is slowly giving way to
the belief that the squadron is really
going to the far east. The prepara-
tions SO far made and in progress have
gone far beyond the stage of mere
bluff. Several Hamburg-American
steamers are about to take Welsh coal
to Alden, Zanzibar, Singapore and other
ports, obviously for the purpose OF
coaling the ships Of the Baltic fleet.
The danger of fire and explosions are
considerable on these coaling vessels
and while some insurance has been
issued in Hamburg and London 1t does
not include marine or war risks.
"The Russians are experiencing diff
ficulty in getting steamers to take coal
to Vladivostok. Several of their YES
sells have got as far as Borneo and
China ports with coal cargoes, but
now their owners decline to go fur
ther.

PEACE CONFERENCES
At WASHINGTON
THIS WEEK
DIFFERENCES WITH REPUBLIC OF
PANAMA.
Canal Complications Likely to Cause
Considerable Feeling-Undip-
lomatlc Language.

Washington, D. c.. Oct. At is
probable that several important peace
conferences viii be held here this
week. The purpose will be to adjust
the differences existing between this
government and that of the new re-
public OF Panama and the conflict OF
authority between the United States
Minister Barrett, the canal commits
sioners and Governor General Davis.
Minister Barrett will land in New
York tomorrow. Rear Admiral Walk
er arrived tonight from his vacation
Chief Engineer Wallace arrived late
this afternoon. Secretary Hay, who
got back today, is not involved In the
canal dispute because the board OF
canal construction is under the wal
department but Mr.. Hay negotiated
the treaty, and his services will be
needed in meeting complaints of the
isthmians. President Roosevelt will
try to impress upon all persons en-.
gagged in the canal enterprise the exacd
character and limitations of their du'
ties.
The Panama government is press
ing for settlement of the dispute
over the right of the United States tt
have a port of entry within the loca
definition of what is Panama city
among the other grave questions.
Rear Admiral Walker, chairman O
the committee and General Davis
governor of the canal zone are mill
tary men, with positive ways of do
ing things. They resent the activities
of Minister Barrett.
Minister Obaldia's remarks that tn
"United States is great and powerful
and Panama is young and mucl
weaker republic; but does this meal
that the Washington administration
shall be the judge, jury and the Who'll

partment as verging on undiplomati

BEST REGIMENTS
OF RUSSIAN GARRiSoNS ARE TO
BE SENT TO THE FAR
EAST.

Paris, Oct. 5.-Considerable con-
sternation has been created here in
pro-Russian circles by the news that
two Russian garrison regiments which
were hitherto stationed near the Ger.
man frontier, are about to leave for
the Far East. While 1t is claimed by
the most sanguine that this step
proves that there is after all, not so
great a necessity for strong military
forces at home, the more conservative
critics admit that the development
plainly shows the need of better sol
diers at the front than those who, with
comparatively few exceptions make up
the Manchurian army.
The two regiments in question are
composed of crack sharpshooters and
right here, It is claimed, lies the
admission of weakness ON the part OF
the Russians. Despite the heavier
losses by the Japanese, it is pointed
out that the Russians have shown
themselves in many specific instances
bad marksmen and the losses of the
enemy were mainly due to his utter
disregard of death and to the at times
foolhardy manner Of Japanese attack
II reports received are correct the
two regiments will not be sent into
battle as wholes, but will be divided
into companies, one of each Of which
will be added to the various regiments
now fighting.
So far as can be learned here two Of
three other garrison regiments vii
be sent to the front in the near future
but their number will be limited Con
ditions in Russia are known to be sucf
that the most trusted men cannot bt
spared The recent recruiting rioti
are proof Of this and only in the las
extremity would the czar be willing Il
jeopardize safety at home for the
chance of success in the Far East.

The announcement that Prince Carl
Won Hohenzollern will leave Japan
