TO REPLACE VOLUNTEER FLEET
Warehips Will Be Used In Stopping
Contraband.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-Prepara-
lions have been completed for the de-
parture, under the command Of Rear
Admiral EnQuist, of the cruiser divi-
sion of the Second Russian Pacific
squadron, now lying off Cronstadt.
The warships will weigh anchor and
put to sea under sealed orders within
three days. 1t is also believed that
the auxiliary cruisers Don and Ural,
which probably are the ships reported
as passing Copenhagen with two tor
pedo boats, will be followed at once
by other converted merchantmen.
This time the admiralty has resolved
that there shall be no question of the
character of the warships engaged in
stopping contraband. The Don and
Ural will replace the ST.. Petersburg
and Smolensk, which will come home
and be commissioned.
