STILL At KAMRANH Bay /.
RUSSIAN FEELT coALlNG FOR
LAST PART OF VOYAGE.
GETTING READY FOR FINAL DASH
News is Confirmed by French and
British steamers-lt is. Believed
Rojestvensky's Squadron Has Been
Divided, Part Having Gone North.

London, April 19.-The latest news
from the far east shows that certainly
a portion of the Russian second Pa
cific squadron was still coaling at
Kamranh bay Saturday morning,
April Is. This news was brought to
Singapore by the British steamer Sui
Sang and to Hong Kong by the French
steamer Phu Yen. The former merely
reports passing the Russian ships at
IL o'clock in the morning. The Phu
Yen's officers saw twenty vessels coal
ing in the bay and it is suspected that
the remainder of the fleet was inside
the harbor. According to the Daily
Mails correspondent at Singapore, the
Sui Sang, which was not molested by
the Russians, sighted a big French
warship' two hours later, fourteen
miles to the southwark, evidently pro-
ceeding to Kamranh bay.
The piecemeal character of the
news excludes the possibility of any
accurate estimate of the movements
of Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron,
but it would seem to show that he
has divided his forces, portion of
which went northward before Satur-
day. What has happened since then
it is impossible to say, and there is
no clear evidence even that the Rus
SLAMS have been within the three mile
limit, which would bring them, accord
ing to international regulations, into
infringement of French neutrality.
The fact that they were visible to
passing ships would appear to show
that they were outside the limit.
Japanese sentiment, however, is
greatly disturbed. The correspondent
at Toxic of the Daily Telegraph says
he has no hesitation in declaring that
should occasion arise and her prelim-
mary protests be ignored, Japan will
regard any anchorage occupied by the
Russian heet as its naval base and
deal with the situation accordingly.
It is impossible to locate Sampaloc
point, OF which, according to the Ma
Mia correspondent of the Daily Mail
sixteen Japanese cruisers and other
craft were scouting on Tuesday morn
ing, but the Daily Mail thinks the
Japanese feet was maneuvering to
prevent the Russians from entering
the Pacific between the Philippines
and Formosa.
Japanese diplomats and others in
London consider the alleged breach
of neutrality by France, in allowing
the second Russian Pacific squadron
to remain over time on the Cochin
