FLEET OUT OFF FROM PORT!
Vladivostok Squadron Reported to
Have Been Intercepted by Japs.


Special to The Journal.
London, May 10.-The Japanese
under Admiral Kamimura are re-
ported to have shut the Vladivostok
cruiser squadron out of Vlad1vostok
and to have sunk the Russian armored
cruiser Rurik.
A dispatch from Nagasaki says that
Admiral Kamimura sent several tor
pedo boats into the harbor in a fog.
that they crept thru the channel until
within striking distance of the Rurik
and that the cruiser was so badly dam
aged by torpedoes that she sank.
The Seoul correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph cables to his paper:
cit is believed here that the Vladi-
vostok fleet has been shut out and
that it is now in the Sea of japan try.
ing to evade the japanese"
It Is not believed here that either.
story is absolutely correct. Naval ex-
perts are inclined to think that the
Japanese intercepted the Russian
cruisers near V1adivostok while they
were returning from a raid down the
eastern coast of Korea.
It is thought that a running fight
followed, if the above dispatches are
true; that the Rurik was destroyed
by a torpedo boat attack, and that the
remaining three cruisers, the Gromo-
BOZ, Rossia and Bayan, seeing they
could not regain the harbor, took to
the open sea.
The Vladivostok squadron, unless
disabled, could easily out-dtstance the
japanese fleet, being much more
speedy.
