Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's ex-
planation Of the attack Of his squad
ron on British trawlers. while 1t is
received with incredulity by the peo-
pie and the press Of Great Britain,
has probably turned the current OF
diplomatic negotiations into new
channel. The British Foreign Office
is in courtesy Obliged to accord an in
Yestigation into circumstances narrat-
ed by the Russian admiral, re-en-
forced as it is by the testimony Of sub
ordinate officers of the squadron and
by the report Of the Danish minister
of marine, communicated to the Rus
sian government, that vessels were
known to have been chartered at Hull
and in Sweden by the Japanese gov
ernment for the purpose of attacking
the Baltic squadron during its pas
sage of the North Sea and English
channel. There are on the one side
stories of Russian ships firing upon
vessels of several neutral nations, and
on the other of INCIDENTS tending to
establish Admiral Rojestvensky's re-
port that there were armed hostile
vessels in the vicinity of at least the
Hull fishing feet. Pending develop
ments in diplomatic exchanges, the
British admiralty Is showing the ut
most activity in bringing fleets with.
in the course of the Russian squadron.
London, BY Cable.-One of the
most complicated diplomatic situa-
tions in recent history, and one that

Britain and Russia resolved itself into
the simple question whether Russia
would or would not guarantee and ad-
vance that some punishment should
be administered to the offending off,
GERS of the Baltic squadron, has been
modified by the introduction of an
entirely new set Of contentious con-
tanned in Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's
report; yet even the most astute dip
lomats, who recognize temporary
improvement in conditions, are puz-
zled by the complications that so curl
ously cause it. However, there is at
the embassies of powers not concern
ed in the dispute a very strong con-
viction that way. out will be found
other than in recourse to war.
The Foreign Office. apparently as
puzzled as the onlookers, pursues the
policy Of silence, and the British press
is almost totally uninformed. The
voluminous exchange daily occurring
between London and st. Petersburg
continue the statement that no reply
from Russia has been received, add

Intentionally ignoring the British rep
