RUSSIA WILL APOLOGIZE
Report Of Admiral Rojestvensky is
Not Yet Given Out.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-No official
or unofficial Russian explanation of
the unfortunate affair off Dogger
bank is forthcoming up to this time.
Admiral Rojestvensky has communi-
Gated direct to the emperor. but the
admiralty announced that it had not
yet received a report The foreign
office issued a statement expressing
the regrets of the government for the
deplorable incident. but explaining
that no formal action is possible un-
til Admiral Rojestvensky's official re.
port of the affair has been received
While no formal action has been
taken, the deepest regret is expressed
in all quarters and the purpose of
the government to make amends If
Rojestvensky shall be found to have
been in fault, has been proclaimed in
every government department. En-.
peror Nicholas himself was greatly
aggrieved when he heard the news.
That a horrible blunder has been
committed is recognized and deplored
everywhere, and nowhere has an at
tempt been made to justify the firing
upon innocent fishermen. Even the
admiralty regretfully admits that It
is at a loss to understand what ex.
PLANTATION could justify such an appar-
entity coldblooded act as the affair is
made to appear by foreign representa-.
tions. 1t developed during the day
that the admiralty had strong reason
to believe that an attempt would be
made against the squadron during its
passage through the English channel.
So specific was thc information that
even the present crisis has not d.
verted attention from the possibility
of such an attack yet occurring. The
failure of the steam trawlers with
their nets out to obey the signals
from the Russian warships or the
nervousness of some officer. who
imagined that fishermen working
with their nets In the water were
laying mines. may be responsible for
the blunder.

urgent NOTE 70 RUSSIA
ENGLAND DEMANDS IMMEDIATE
REDRESS FOR ATTACK.
HooTs RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR
Mob Makes Hostile Demonstration in
London-lt is Believed That the
Authoritiec at ST. Petersburg Will
Make Ample Reparation.

London, Oct. 25.-Great Britain
sent long and urgent note to the
Russian government officially detail
ing the circumstances of the amazing
and unexplained attack by the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron during
the night of Oct 81 on British fishing
boats in the North sea. The text of
the note has net been given out, but
it is officially stated from the foreign
Office that it contains the significant
announcement that the situation is
one which, in the opinion of his
majesty's government does not brook
delay. Meanwhile the conservative
public and press are remarkably un-
demonstrative. AS usual the lingo
element go so far as to say that it may
be necessary to stop the Pacific fleet
pending settlement of the whole
affair, though this extreme measure.
it is believed, will not be necessary.
Everywhere there is evidence of the
very positive opinion that this is no
time for the usual diplomatic dilly-
dallying, that there must be no delay
and no limit set by Russia to her
apology OF the extent of compensa-
tion for sufferers by what King Ed
ward himself terms "the unwarrant-
able action of the Baltic squadron
commanders"
The deep resentment of the whole
British public, however is reflected
by an incident at the Victoria station
on the arrival of Count Benckendorff,
the Russian ambassador to Great
Britain. from the continent. A crowd
gathered and hooted him and attempt
ed to break the windows of his car
riage. There is no attempt anywhere
among men of responsibility, to mag
nifty the occurrence into a deliberate
act of war, but in view of the present
inability to find an explanation there
is being poured upon the heads of the
officers of the squadron a flood of in
vective and insinuation, though in
competence first and thereafter COM
plete panic is the most generally
accepted explanation.
The actual casualties during the
one-sided bombardment off Dogger
bank can be correctly stated since
the arrival at London of the carrying
ship Swift, reporting the safety of
the missing trawlers. Her captain
says: The Russians gave not the
slightest warning prior to the COM
mencement of the firing. The admi-
raj of the fishing fleet sent up a
rocket of warning, and then the fir
ing commenced. He again sent up
four green rockets, but this only
seemed to increase the ferocity of the
bombardment. The poor marksman-
ship of the Russian gunners was the
only thing that saved the entire fish
ing fleet within range of the search
lights and guns
At the inquest at Hull it was stated
that one vessel, the Crane. was sunk
and that four or five were more or
less damaged. In the statement of
the coroner to the jury that official
said it was question of very grave
and possibly International import
ance, but it would be their duty to
find who were the murderers of the
two dead men. After the identified
ton of the bodies the inquest ad-
