st. Petersburg, May 25.-Correspon-
dent of the Express, referring to Ad-
miral Skrydloff's arrival at Vladivos-
tok, claims to be able to state that
Russia has completed new scheme of
naval operations in the Pacific, using
Vladivostok for base. Admiral Skry-
dloff, according TO the correspondent,
has been.charged with the task of re-
organizing the whole garrison of 10000
men. The fleet will probably be aug
mented by powerful torpedo fiotilla,
as sections of several vessels Of this
class have been sent by rail to Vladi-
vostok, accompanied by mechanics to
put them together. The possible object
i've of the new campaign is the north

diversion might be created in naval
operations compelling the Japanese to
divert vessels from their Yellow sea
squadron, thus giving opportunity for
the Baltic fleet to break through.
