'Hlll Daoh sol;th As Soon AS Russian
Ships Are Sighted.


London, Dec. "a. - TeIegraphing
from Toxic, the correspondent of the
Daily Express says he learns that in
the event Of Admiral Kamimura (who
is reported TO have gone south with
squadron Of powerful cruisers) noti-
flying II OF the approach of the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron, the
whole Japanese fleet which has been
operating at Port Arthur will be ready
to proceed south on a days notice TO
give battle.
British naval experts were amazed
TO learn that Japan has dispatched
less than one.third of her fighting
ships to meet and give battle to the
Russian Baltic feet This Japanese
flying squadron is now in the vicinity
of Singapore. 5000 miles from Japan
and 2490 miles from Chagos, the island
in the Indian ocean where the Rus
sian feet is believed to be mobiliz-
ing.
If the Japanese fleet proceeds with
out delay from Singapore toward
Chagos It can reach that island within
eight days. Il is believed here that it
plans to reach the Russian rendezvous
and give battle TO Voelkersahm, and,
If successful, go forth to meet the
scattered ships under Rojestvensky
and match them singly. The apparent
plan of the Japanese commander is
one Of the most daring ever recorded
in naval annals.

Washington, Dec. Authorization
has reached the immigration authori-
ties of a scheme by which it is pro-
posed to bring into this country Chi
nese who. in the regular order Of
events, might be refused admission.
The proposition is to take the Chinese
from China to Liverpool, and then
ticket them through to New York via
Halifax or st. Johns and Rouse's
Point. At Rouse's Point no detention
house of the immigration service is To-
Gated, and the Chinese entering the
country there would not be subject 10
the investigation of a regular board Of
immigration inspectors. Each China
man would be provided with papers in
dicating that he was a resident of this
country and had a right, therefore, to
return to 1t. Such papers. the immi-
grafton officials assert, are not difficult
to obtain.
