Of the Associated Press learns that the
Danish ministry Of marine was informed
that several ships were chartered by the
japanese at Hull and intended to attacl
the Russian squadron in the North Sea

The Danish ministry WAS officially
Informed that thirteen Swedish vessels
hal been chartered by the Japanese g.
attack the Russian squadron in the Bal
tie. A Danish cruiser and torpedo boat
watched the vessels 80 closely that their
approach TO the Russian squadron wa
impossible.
While thus engaged the Danish torpe-
do boat IIavhesten had a narrow escape.
the commander of the Russien battle
ship mistook the Danish torpedo boat
for tbs enemy and fired a blank shot.
The quickness of the torpedo boat in dis
playing its flag saved her. This hap
pened at night time. When the captain
of the torpedo boat boarded the battle
ship he found large quantities of ammu'
milton piled ready for use. This Incl
dent was reported to the Danish marine
minister at the time. The Danish war
ships acted as police for the Russian
squadron until after the latter reached
the North Sea.
