BALTIC FLEET SAILS FOR THE EAST.
Car Declined to Longer Hold Back His Battleships
Route of the Fleet Is Unknown.

the Baltic fleet for the Far East is
officially announced. Admiral Byri-
loft, commander OF the naval forces
at Cronstadt, will accompany the fleet
az far as Libau, from which port this
modern armada Of almost forty PEN
nants will sail Immediately for the
Orient.
The admiralty does not state how
long Admiral Rojestvensky will stop
at Libau, but it is understood that It
win be only for few days
The plan of the cruise has not been
divitlged, but It has been carefully
mapped out Golfers accompany the
fleet for the purpose of supplying the
torpedo boats and torpedo boat de-
stroyers, whose steaming radius is
small Other golfers have already
sailed or are awaiting orders at for
eign ports to meet the squadron on
the way. All the vessels are equip
ped with apparatus for coaling at sea.
The general opinion is that the yes
| sells will go by way of suez, but some
rumors say that the Cape route will
be taken.
The decision of the admiralty TO
send out the fleet in the face OF the
existing situation in the Far East is
an evidence of the temper Of the
government to prosecute the war to
finish.
It is understood there was consid-
cradle divergence of expert opinion
on the question Of delaying the sail
ing of the fleet until the spring but
the emperor turned the scale in favor
Of Immediate departure.
In this connection there are other
war moves Mobilization in Southern
Russia was announced today and In
addition practically all the reserve
officers Of the navy have been called
out.
