SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE ST. LOUIS RE-
PUBLIC AND THE !TEW YORK HERALD.
Toxic, March 15.-tCopyright, 1904.)-A
rUmor has been current here to-day to
the effect that the Russian fleet escaped
from Port Arthur on the night of March
II, and that the four cruisers at Vladivos-
tok also got out. and that the whole Rus
sian fleet is now at sea.
News Of a great naval battle is hourly
expected, and a serious situation will be
created If the Russians should succeed in
evading the japanese fleet. The prob
ability. however, is that the Japanese are
in touch with the Russians sufficiently to
bring about an action which must be de-
cisive and put an end to the Russian naval
power in the far East.
