Rojestyensky's Rendezvous.

Special to The Daily Item.
Singapore, April 10.-A con6rnaa-
ton of the report that Russian fleet
is headed toward the Amanda group
of islands was brought by the steamer
Radnorshire on her arrival today.
This vessel reports sighting the Baltic
feet at 1:40 p. m. yesterday afternoon
five miles from Pulodamar, and pro-
ceeding toward Pulomenti. Poloda-
mar is one of the Amanda group
farthest southwest. Ire steamer also
saw four warships, apparently Japa-
nese war vessels, OFF Cape st. James
Cochin China3 on April Z.
Rear Admiral Enkirst, who was in
command Of the Russian squadron,
passed here Saturday. Amanda ISL
ands are in the China sea and lie
about $50 miles northeast of Singa-
pore. The pur pose of the Russians in
anchoring near these islands is not
clear. It is considered likely that Ad-
nniral Rojestvensky selected the ISL
sands as place Of rendezvous.
