vigo, Spain. Oct 29.-The arrival Of
the Russian battleships Emperor Alex
ander III, Bordino, Orel and Kniaz
Souvaroff. and the transport Anatol,
which have anchored in this port, has
caused considerable excitement.
The commander of the port immedi-
ately boarded the Russian flagship
and informed Admiral Rojestvensky
that the Spanish government could not
permit the warships to coal within the
port. Admiral Rojestvensky replied
that his vessels needed repairs, and
that for that reason he had separated
from the remainder Of his squadron.
The commander of the port promised
to inform the Spanish government of
the admiral's statement and commu-
nicate the governments reply as soon
as 1t was received. In spite of this five
German Golfers anchored in port along
side the battleships, whereupon the
commander Of the port sent an aide de
camp to beg Admiral Rojestvensky not
to violate Spanish neutrality. and he
also ordered the commanding officer of
the Spanish cruiser Estramadura to
| notify the Golfers that they must obey
the port authorities.

ing the usual honors.
AS far rs can be seen the crews of
the battleships are very uneasy.
Vessel scouts are closely watching
every movement in the harbor. All
four warships seem to be cleared for
action.
1t is rumo-ed that the object of the
Spanish government in refusing the
Russians tC remain but the shortest
time at ViEo IS to avoid the possibility
of attack by Japanese agents. whose
presence in the province of Galicia is
suspected.

The Spanish warships Marques de la

The authorities have ordered that
all fishing boats shall fly the national
flag in order to avoid repetition of
the Dogger bank incident.
Prince Keretell, an officer of the
battleship Emperor Alexander III, has
been interviewed and gives the follow
ing explanation of the attack by the
Baltic squadron upon the British
trawlers off Dogger bank:
THE transport Anatol, which was
steaming ahead of the squadron, was
suddenly surrounded by eight torpedo
boats and requested assistance, where
upon the battleShip division advanced
and sgnaled to the unknown vessels
to leave or disclose their nationality.
The vessels refused to obey and adj
vanced among the Russian battleshipS.
Suddenly a cannon shot was heard
from an unknown vessel Then the
admiral formed a battle line and re-
piled to the fire. afterwards continuing
his voyage"
Prince keretelli added that the Rus
slams feared the strange torpedo boats
were Japanese, as the admiral was
aware that the Japanese had pur-
chased such boats in Europe.
