How the Mikado's Fleet Is
Divided for Offensive
Purposes.
IN SEVEN SQUADRONs
The Majority of These Keep an Eye
en- Port Arthur, the Others
Are Divided.
Two Squadrons Are Cruising Be-
tween Northern Korea and
VIadivostOck.

London, April IA Seoul CORE
spondent says he learns from a Jap
anese sailor who participated in the
attacks on Port Arthur that the JAP
anese fleet is divided into seven squad
rons. Four of these are watching Port
Arthur, the fifth patrols the Korean
coast, and the sixth and seventh cruise
between VIadivostok and north Japan.
Two torpedo boats were much dam
aged in the engagements, but other
wise the fleet was little injured. The
damages to the Japanese cruisers
Iwate and Yoshino have been repaired
and the vessels have joined the fleet.
A Wei Hal Wei correspondent says
Russian warships are patrolling the
gulf of Pechili, and that the London
Times steamer was stopped and
searched thirty miles outside of Port
Arthur yesterday.
A Tien Tsin correspondent says
Paul Lessar, Russian minister to
China, has protested to the Chinese
government against the presence of
Japanese instructors with the Chinese
army, which he regards as a violation
of neutrality A correspondent has
had an interview with a high person
age closely connected with the emper-
or of Korea, who left his native land
because of the administrative reforms
introduced through the influence of the
Japanese. Apparently rejecting the
views of the emperor, this parsonage
said:
Il saw the Japanese action. 1t is an
attempt to apply to Korea the policy
which the British have adopted in In
dia. My country has reason to sympa-
thize with the Russians, knowing the
justice of their policy toward the ma
tives Of Amur, where many Koreans
labor"
The sailors of the fleet who distin-
guished themselves in the recent Jap
anese attacks were decorated with the
Cross of St. George by Vice Admiral
Makaroff in the presence of Grand
Duke Cyril, cousin of the emperor.
Vice Admiral Makaroff's leadership
has inspired the men of the fleet with
the highest confidence and love.
People arriving from Lao Yang re-
port that the troops are impatient to
attack the Japanese. The soldiers say
they did not come east to lie on their
backs, and that it is time to march.
