- T. PETERSBURG, March l9-Q1:5S
y p. m)-The whereabouts Of the
'Vladivostok squadron is pro-
found official secret, but there are
those here who believe that
the Japanese may wake up
some morning to find that the two
divisions Of Russia's Pacific squadron
have effected "a juncture. 1t is be-
traying no confidence TO state that
both the admiralty and Vice Admiral
AlakarOf before he left for the far
east regarded the fact that the divis-
ions were separated as most unfortu-
nate for Russia's chances Of success
at sea. Realizing that offensive naval
operations are impossible under pres
eut conditions, IL is believed that no
opportunity will be neglected to re-
pair this initial misfortune. even should
il involve considerable risk. COnse-
quently the report that seven Russian
warships were sighted the other day
Off Gensan creates much speculation
here as TO whether they could be the
vessels of the cruiser division under
Captain Reitzenstein. The number of
ships sighted apparently does not tally
with that of the VladivOstOk division,
which properly consisted of four fast
cruisers and the transport Lena.
May Be Very Close.
1t is learned, however, that the out
break of hOstilities found two ships of
the volunteer cruiser fleet at Nladi-
NOstOk, and there is reason to believe
that these have since been fitted out
with guns taken from mountain bat
teries. 1t is therefore possible that
the ships sighted were those of Cap
tain Reitzenstein. whose object, if he
Ventured so FAR down the coast. could
hardly be anything except TO slip into
