terances were met shows that for the
moment party differences have been
laid aside and that the country is SOL
idly behind the Government. Lord
Selborne, at the Pilgrims banquet to-
night, denounced the Dogger Bank af-
fair in the most outspoken terms yet
heard from a member of the Cabinet
as IAN inexcusable outrage" and "a
terrible blunder which would be i'm
possible in either the British or the
American navy"
Colonial Secretary Lyttelton, too, in
another place, spoke in plain terms,
! saying that it was impossible to view
the affair as other than the result of
murderous intention or wicked negli-
gence.
The post norton examination of the
bodies of the victims of the Dogger
Bank affair was held to-day at Hull.
The proceedings were purely formal
and no official announcement was
! made, but it is stated positively that
both of the dead men bore wounds
inflicted both by machine guns and a
larger shell.
ADMIRAL" CARR'S REPORT.
The report of Thomas Carr, the
admiral of the fishing fleet, dated
from the North Sea" is a picturesque
touch, a plain sailors yarn of the oc-
currence, which was handed to For
eign Minister Lansdowne tonight The
report is dated The North Sea, Octo-
Der p, and is as follows:
We were fishing in latitude 55 10 north and
longitude east, the night of October 81. At
1880 D. m a large fleet of men of war
sprung up on our lee bow the wind being
about south southeast One squadron passed
by our lee side The remainder, consisting of
four battleships, steamed just across our head
throwing searchlights over our fleet. As soon
as they got to windward they began firing on
us. their projectiles flying all around and across
our decks for full quarer of an hour some
of the shots passing under the mainsais so
unpeasantly near the men who were getting
fish in the pound that they cleared out down
below one shot passing right between them.

WARNED OF AN ATTACK.
Queer Story That Throws Light Upon
the Slav Fleets Action.

the SiaV E1eetS Action.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. ga rumor
that is going the rounds and which is
given authenticity by an official state
ment by the Russian Admiralty to-
night throws a peculiar light upon the
cause of the North Sea tragedy. 1t is
to the effect that the Russian Govern
ment was warned anonymously that a
large number of Japanese had gone
aboard fishing trawlers at Hull and
that a torpedo attack would be made
upon the Baltic fleet during it's passage
of the North Sea. The information was
regarded as somewhat hazy, but never
theless Admiral Rojestvensky was
warned to keep sharp lookout and to
take no chances. In view of subsequent
events the belief is growing that this
false warning was conveyed to st. Pc
tersburg in the hope that it might re-
suit in a tragedy that would embroil
Russia and Great Britain.
A special dispatch from London to an
afternoon paper here charges that the
attempt to sink the steamship Espe-
rama yesterday at Barry, England,
was the work of Japanese emissaries.
The Russian Admiralty has had spe-
cific reports from agents abroad that
disguised Japanese officers had been
seen in Denmark, Sweden and Ger
many, which indicated that an attempt
would be made to attack the Russian
squadron.
The Novoe Vremya says that one of
the minor powers before the sailing of
the second Pacific squadron categoric-
ally informed Russia of an impending
attack on the vessels.

PEACEABLE
SETTLEMENT
IS IN SIGHT
Nicholas Cables to King
Edward an Expression of
His Regret.
CAUSE OF TRAGEDY
YET A MYSTERY
No Word From ROjestven-
sky Reaches Russian
Capital.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. rs, ESQ a.
m.-Vice Admiral Rojestvensky' rea-
sons for firing upon the British fishing
fleet remain as great mystery as
ever Again at midnight the Admiral
ty announced that the admiraPs report
of the affair had not been received.
Meantime, without waiting the Rus
sian version of the affair, Emperor
Nicholas, through ambassador Har-
dinge, has sent to King Edward and
the British Government a message con-
veying an expression of the profounde5t
regret for the unfortunate affair,
coupled with assurances that the fam
lilies of the victims should receive the
fullest reDaration.
The British Government also shows
moderation in the note which Embas-
sador Hardinge presented to Count
Lamsdorff this afternoon. While it
awaits an explanation for an act which
1t characterizes in strong language as
unjuStifiable, deliberate and inhuman,
it makes no threats, fixes no time limit
for response and contains no demands,
the note specifically stating that Great
Britain's demands are reserved pend
ing receipt of an explanation.
The willingness of Great Britain to
await the Russian explanation before
formulating demands shows considera
ton for the position in which Russia
has been placed by deplorable blum
der.
At the same time this consideration
has an ominous ring about it, only
serving to emphasize the gravity of
the situation, the language of the
note admitting of no doubt that
when the demands are ultimately pre-
scented Great Britain intends to in
sist upon full compliance with them.
From the diplomatic standpoint the
very fact that Great Britain his not
shown her hand strengthens her po-
sition. What the nature of the de-
mands will be, must necessarily be a
matter of speculation until Admiral
Rojestvensky's report arrives, but if
the important allegation in the note is
established, namely, that the squadron
actually changed formation before
opening fire, it would seem to fix the
responsibility upon Rojestvensky; and,
whoever the author of the offense may
be it is regarded as certain that Great
Britain will demand among other
things, his punishment. 1t is also con-
sidered certain that failure to prompt
ly comply would be followed by En-
bassador Hardinge's recall.
Although some nervousness is per-
ceptible in diplomatic circles, gener-
ally sp- aking there is the greatest con-
fidence both among diplomats and
high officials of the Government that
the affair will be amicably adjusted.
1t is felt. indeed, that the great gravity
of the situation may prove its saliva
ton by imposing the utmost care and
elaboration upon both sides.
1t is known that the Emperor was
greatly grieved and shocked when he
heard the news at Kronstadt on Mon
day afternoon. To a member of the
court the press learns, he has al
ready expressed a determination to
punish whoever is responsible for the
error

DRIFTING TOWARD WAR.
Russians Believe a Clash With Great
Britain Is Inevitable.

Russians Believe a Clash With Great
Britain Is Inevitable.
LONDON, Oct. 26.-The Russo-Japa-
papers are occupied almost exclusively
with the North Sea affair So far the
attitude Of the Government meets with
the approval of the public who are
greatly graufied with the instructions
Of the Admiralty for cooperation be-
tween the Mediterranean, channel and
home sQuadrOns should necessity arise.
The home feet, consisting of nine bat
Ileships and three cruisers, which has
been stationed at Cromarty, left Tues
day night for the south to be in readi-
ness for any necessary concentration.
All leaves have been stopped in the
navy, and in the unlikely event of the
situation becoming so serious as to need
il a very strong naval force could
quickly be concentrated.
That a possibility of dangerous de-
velopments turks in the protraction of
the crisis is seen in the fact that Rus
sian correspondents of British papers
are beginning to send rather inflamma-
bic dispatches. For example, the Tele-
graphs St Petersburg correspondent
this morning says:
In military circles among the less
responsible officers and in marine cir
cles of almost all grades the conviction
prevails that sooner or later war with
England is inevitable, and that the
present moment is as suspicious as any
other
The Standards Moscow correspond
ent also asserts that the majority of
the Russian people find more or less
satisfaction in the insult offered to
England"

sibility and take the same action as
would the British or American people. ="
Admiral Lambton declared that he
could never believe any naval officer,
Russian or otherwise, would do a das-
tardly act Intentionally. Naval officers
sometimes made mistakes, but said Ad-
miral Lambton, give them time TO
apologize and everything will be all
right"
Admiral Lambton's statement, COM
bined with Lord Selborne's expressions,
are taken as practically closing the
North Sea affair. Admiral Lambton
saw King Edward to-day, and undoubt-
edly he voiced the highest views.
Admiral Jewell did not refer to the
Anglo-Russian difficulty, but in the
briefest of speeches won applause by
reference to the lack of all jealousy be-
tween the American and British navies.
