sky's report, no official explanation OF
the action of the Russian Pacific squad
ron on firing on the Hull fishing fleet IS
vet made public. The British foreign
Office has made certain formal and cat
egorical demands upon Russia, couched
in language which is said to preclude
any diplomatic quibbling or delay.
While the situation is tense, the best
official opinion is that Russia will make |
such ample official and pecuniary rep
aration, as will prevent any grave in
ternational results. The British pub
lie is described as being much wrought
up over the occurrence, but the official
tone of both governments is correct
and the European cabinets are inclin- |
ed strongly to believe that the incident |
will be satisfactorily adjusted. The
emperor of Russia has personally tele'
graphed King Edward, expressing his
regret at the occurrence and his SYM
pathy with the families of killed and
wounded fishermen. Russian Ambas-
sador Brenckendorff has made similar
expressions Of regret to Lord Lans- !
downe. The additional particulars OF
the attack upon the trawlers only serve

st. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-Ambassa'
dor Hareinge, during the night, re-
ceived instructions from his govern
ment on the subject Of the North Sea
controversy and will present them dur
ing the day. Captain Calthorpe, the
British naval attache, in full unlform'
and Embassy Chasseur, wearing his
full uniform, drove in state today to
the Admiralty where the attache for
mally notified the Minister of Marine
that there was another fishing fleet on
the Spanish coast. This formal warn
ing probably indicates the temper OF
the British instructions which, there
is reason to believe, are couched IN
vigorous and a somewhat peremptory
tone. Up to noon the admiralty am
nounced that it was not prepared to
offer any explanation of the trawler
incident, saying it had not yet heard
from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky@ 1t
is pointed out that the vice admFars
message will probably be filed at Vigo,
Spain. which probably is the first stop
ping place Of the squadron.
