According to the admiralty's infor-
nation the Japanese have had an ob,

neutrality as Rojestvensky did OF
French neutrality at Madagascar, anG
this squadron is believed to have been
summoned by japanese scouts to re,
main in touch with the Russians until
they go north to the straits of For
mosa, where, it is believed here, a
battle will occur. Considering the
vital nature of the issue the admiralty
is inclined to think that Admiral Togo
will not dare to send ships to Vladl-
vostok or leave vessels behind him
to cope with the Russian vessels at
that port and that the Japanese coasts
and the transport fleet will practically
have to shift for themselves until the
naval battle is fought. The principal
coast cities OF Japan are we'll pro-
tected by Notifications and the Rus
sian cruisers at Vladivostok, not be-
ing heavily armored, could not attack
them, but havoc could be created
among the Japanese transports and
commercial ships.
So far as ascertainable Rojestven-
sky has no intention OF putting into
Saigon, the entrance to that port be-
ing narrow, but it is believed he will
remain in the open sea.
