EngIist. warsliips at Alexandria,, Suez
and Aden-Russian Ships Regarded as
Pirates-Two Vessels From Mediter-
ranean Squadron Ordered to Port Said
-Russia to Give Up the MaIacca.

-lsuSSia 10 G3Ve up the DlalaCCa.
London. England.-It is believed by
naval officers cognizant Of certain Or
ders issued to British warships that
the British Government means to COM
pei the Russians to give up the steam
ship Malacca. which they seized as a
prize of war and are taking to Libau.
1t is also confidently expected for
the same reason that it has been deter
mined to put a complete stop to the
unlawful operations Of the Russian
volunteer cruisers.
The Malacca was reported as pro-
ceeding through the Suez Canal toward
Port Said. nayigated by a Russian
crew and flying the Russian flag. One
development was the detaching by
Admiral DOmville, who commands the
Mediterranean squadron, of two cruis-
ers under orders to proceed to Port
Said, which is at the northern end Of
the Suez Canal.
It is assumed that these cruisers will
reach Port Said ahead Of the Malacca
and be there when she arrives. 1t is
considered probable that they will
compel the Russians to give up their
prize.
Are Our warships going to Port
Said just to watch the Russians sail
the Malacca past them" queried a
British naval captain, adding:
How foolish that would be! How
humiliating! In heavens name, what
would the British people say Of such
nm operation? 1 can't believe those
cruisers are sent to Port Said with any
other purpose than to take the Malac-
ca away from the Russians and send
her off again on her voyage to the Far
East"
There is no question whatever that
the British Government would
strengthen itself tremendously with
the people Of this country by a course
such as naval officers think it has de-
termined to follow.
