OF six miles before dry spot could be

BRITISH NAVAL GUNS.
Admiralty Denies That Many Of Them
Are worthless.

London, April 27.--I'he admiralty to-
day issued an official statement regard
ing the charge made by the Daily
Graphic that fifteen British battleships
were unfit for action owing to the dis
covery that number of the twelve inch
guns were incapable of firing fifty full
charges. The admiralty says that one
twelvs-inch, mark s. gun on board
the Majestic had cracked at the n1lzzle
and that a second gun showed a crack
in the inner tube, but they had fired
the equivalent of sixty-six and seventy
five full charges respectively. These
guns had been exchanged AMI repaired
and will shortly be re-issued. @ III
The statement continues: zone
twelve-inch gun was fired with 1862 full
charges before being refined. The guns
on board the battleships Mars, Caesar
and Jupiter have fired the equivalent
of over sixty full charges, and are still
perfectly serviceable." b. !

RGJESTVENSKY'S FLEET
USING HANIAN AS BASE
CUTTING OF THE SUBMARINE
CABLE CONFIRMED.

pedo Boats Scouting In Every Direc-
Manchuria Indicates That Japanese
Army Will Not Await Result Of Ma
val Fight.
London, April 27.-No further news
has been received of either Rojestven-
sky's or Nebagotoff's squadrons. The
report is confirmed that the submarine
cable has been cut at Hainan; but, ac-
cording to the Daily Telegraph's corre-
spondent at Toxic, the Japanese au-
thorities have learned that the Russians
are using Hainan as base.
The news of the resumption of fight
ing in Manchuria is supposed here to
show that the Japanese have now de-.
cided not to await the issue of the ma
val contest, but to utilize the few weeks
intervening between the drying up of
the thawed winter roads and the arri-
val of the summer rains in June for the
resumption of the land campaign. The
completion of the railway to Mukden
will greatly simplify Field Marshal
Oyan1a's task of provisioning his vast
army and will thus facilitate the re-
newal Of hostilities.
Kamranh Bay, via Saigon, Cochin
China, Auril 27.-The only ships re-
manning in Kamranh Bay are four Ger
man transports. All the rest of the
transports and the Russian hospital
ship Orel, and other vessels left behind
by Admiral Rojestvensky, steamed out
of the bay yesterday morning. This
fleet is now assembled outside the bay,
and forms an extended line, stretching
from Cape Varella to the head of the
Kamranf1 peninsula. Torpedo boats
are scouting in all directions. The ships
seem to be awaiting Vice Admiral Ne
bogatoff's division.
The two freight-laden steamers cap
tured by Admiral Rojestvensky were
under the German flag. It is presumed
I that they are suspected of having con-
traband of war on board.
st. Petersburg, April 27.--1:15 p. M
According to the calculations Of the
naval staff, Vice Admiral Nebogatoff,
who left Jibutil, French Somaliland. on
March rs, if he has been making 200
knots per day, should reach Singapore,
Straits Settlements, tomorrow, and
could not unite his division with Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky' in Tonquin bay
until May5, The general theory is that
their junction is assured on the general
theory that Admiral Togo would not
dare to risk sailing south to meet Me-
bogatoff, as by doing so he would leave
the way to Vladiyostok open to Rojest-
Vensky.
