tiers that he is IN ST. Petersburg building Holland
submarine torpedo boats for Russia at shpyards

superintend the construction of boat for the gov
eminent there. but in his letters Wilson now says
that when he went away 1t was desired to keep his
destination secret. He went direct to St Peters
burg.
1t is believed that the boat he IS having con-
structed will be used in the Russian Japanese war,

to the nature of Wilson's errand refuses discuss
it. Elihu Z. Frost general manager OF the Hol-
land Torpedo Boat Company. admitted to-day that
Wilson had gone to Russia, but said the latter
would have been better pleased had his present

fleet was not seen. but the distance Of the jap
