BALTIC FLEET HAS SAILED.
Its Destination is Said to BE the Fal
Eazf.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 12.-The depar'
ture of the Baltic fleet for the far east
is officially announced.
Admiral BirileA, commander of the
naval forces at Cronstadt, will accom-
pany the feet as far as Libau, from
which port this modern armada of al
most 40 pennants will sail Immediately
for the orient.
The admiralty does not state how
long Admiral Rojestvensky will stoE
at Libau, but it is understood that il
will be only for few days.
The plan of the cruise has not beer
divulged, but it has been carefully
mapped out. Golfers accompany the
feet for the purpose of supplying the
torpedo boats and torpeo boat destroy
ers whose steaming radius is small.Otb,
er Golfers have already sailed or are
awaiting orders at foreign ports to meet
the squadron on the day. Ali the yes.
sells are equipped with apparatus for
coaling at sea.
The general opinion is that the YES
sells will go by way of Suez, but some
rumors say that the cape route will b
taken.
The decision of the admiralty to
send out the fleet in the face of existin
situation in the far east is evidence o
the temper of the government to prose.
cute the war to finish.
It. is understood that there was con-
siderable divergence of expert opinion
on the question of delaying the sailing
of the fleet until the spring, but the EN-.
peror turned the scale in favor Of i'm.
mediate departure.
In this connection there are Other
