GERMAN OPINION.
The Situation Regarded as One of Ex-
 treme Gravity.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-While most Of the newspapers avoid editorial discussion, of the Anglo-Russian crisis, breathless interest is felt by the public regarding the developments of the next twenty four hours. The press partly induIges Tn optimistic bopes, rehecting the gov ernments views Others, like the weighty Kreuz Zeitung. regard the situation os being extremely grave since negotiations must proceed with unprecedented rapidity because other wise the Russian squadron will get be- yond reach.
 Great Britain's demand for the pun ishme1t of the guilty officers. whi,a recognized as jus, greatly complt- cates the situation for Russia. since yielding means the recall of the squad ron for 'Ong investigation equivalent to m indefinite postponement of tha expedition.

WERE NO TORPEDO BOATS.
That Statement by Rojestvensky Has
 Been Confirmed.

St- Petersburg. Oct. 27.-The state ment that Admiral Rojestvensky's re- port declares that no torpedo boats were with the squadron when the fn- cideTt occurred is confirmed. Tae re- port Is brief and gives no details but The admiralty announced that 1t would De given out without waiting for de- tailed reports which are expected, bv tomorrow. Owing to the wide diver gence between the two versions of the aIIalr It seems certain that some sort or an inquiry Is necessary to estab- fish the facts but no steps in that dir cotton have yet been taken. The stIs- gestioE is made that in order to satis- Iy both parties the inquiry Should be made by mixed tribunal. It is ex- plained here that an inquiry would moi involve delay in the voyage of the squadron as the dispositions of the of hcers could ae taken.
 Al the admiralty there is a feeling of great relief over Rojestvensky's expla- nation and rejoicing at the fact that their confidence that there was another side to the affair, is vindicated.

Copenhagen, Oct. 27.-A correspon. dent of the Associated Press learns that the Danish ministry of the marine was informed that several ships were chartered by the Japanese. at Hull to attack the Russian second Pa cihc squadron in the North sea. The Russians were informed of this. The marine authorities here credit the re- port.
 The Danish ministry was officially Informed that thirteen Swedish vessels had been chartered by the Japanese 10 attack the Russian squadron in the Baltic. A Danish cruiser and tOrpedo boat watched the vessels so closely that their approach to the Russia, spuadlon was impossible.

He proceeded on his way with out leaving any vessels behind, and says he believes the vessel which the fishermen reported remained on fine scene Tor six hours, without offering succor tc the drowning, was the other torpedo boat either waiting for her consort or repliring damage inflicted by the fire of his ships Tn conclud- ing his telegram, Admiral Roiestvens- Ky expressed in the most warm heart cd way the regrets of the whole souad- ron 10 the fishermen, who had suffered and to the families of the victims.
 ho1estNensky's report was telegrapb- ed rom Vigo direct to the emperor. Who reseived it last night. Ii was  communicated this morning to Ambas- sador Harding by Foreign Minister Lamsdortf himself. There is reason to believe that the British embassy was also acquainted with the information. which reached the Russian authorities some time ago, of the arrival at. and sCosequent mysterious disappearance rom Hull of twenty Japanese. men tion of which was made in these dis patches Of October 25. It is pointed out that the original version of the In- cldent as recited by the captain of the lrawler MOulmein coincides closely With Rojestvensky's The captain Sald that while the squadron was pass ing he suddenly noticed two torpe1o boats which approached so near that he thought that they in tended bombarding him, when they sheered off, heading back for tbe squadron. Almost immediately after, the squadron opened fire. Accordinp 10 one account of Rojestvensky's report It specifically states that there were no
