Fleets Fighting.

Toxic, March 9.-It is believed here
that there has already been decisive
naval engagement in the vicinity of
Vladivostok.
The japanese fleet did not, it is sad.
go to Vladivostok for the purpose of
bombarding the town, but locate and
attack the armored cruisers Gromoboi,
Rossia, Rurik and the cruiser Bogatyr,
the Russian fleet stationed here. 1t is
understood here that when the Jap
anese fleet arrived there on Sunday
last it found the Russian squadron alb
sent. If this is true, it gave the Jap
anese squadron advantage in the way
of avoiding battle close to the inshore
batteries, at the same time putting it
in position to prevent the Russian ships
reentring the harbor. 1t is doubted
that the Japanese withdrew their en-
tire squadron unless the location of the
enemy had been discovered, as it meant
surrendering the advantage of being in
a position between the enemy and the
enemy's base. There is strong POSSIBLE
ity that the japanese found the Russian
ships in the vicinity of Possievt bay
aud gave them battle there.

Berlin, March GA telegram from
ST. Petersburg confirms the statement
that the Russian squadron left Vladi-
vostok. 1t is believed, according to
the correspondent, that the new and
enterprising chief of squadron, Cap
tain ReitZenstein, has gone in search
of the threed war ships which Japan
is said to haye recently purchased from
Chill, and which are now reported to
be in the Pacific ocean.
Russian naval officers are confident
Reitzenstein will achieve his object.
Foreign naval attaches in st. Peters,
burg. on the other hand, express the
conviction if he ventures thus far from
the coast, ReitzeDstin will seal the fate
of his squadron, which will be over
whelmed. Two japanese cruisers were
dispatched in the middle of February
for the purpose of watching movements
at Valdivostok.
In German naval circles it is be-
lieved the japanese have prepared a
surprise in the shape of number of
mines across Ussuri bay for Russian
ships should they attempt to run turn
