Battle at Sea.
 ST. PETERSBURG, April 26.-Ad- miralty circles are coming to accept the view that there will be no great or general action between the fleets of Russia and Japan for some time, bas- ing their belief on strategic and tactic go to avoid a decisive action until he has made every effort to demoralize the Russian fleet by torpedo attacks and interference with transports by his cruiser division.
 The admiralty last evening secuted the reports that engagements have all ready occurred, pointing out the great distance separating the places where the dispatches originated, and naval staff captain declared that reports from English sources should not only be doubted, but even mistrusted.
 The probability of sortie by the Vladivostok squadron in an attempt to join Admiral Rojestvensky is discussed by the Razvedchik, military weekly paper, which confirms the report that the three cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia and Bogatyr have been repaired and that Vladivostok harbor is free from ice and comments on this accession of strength to Rojestvensky. The paper also intimates that there is possibil- ity that Vice Admiral Nebogatoff may await second re-enforcing squadron and expresses the opinion that Rojest- vensky will now proceed as rapidly as possible to Vladivostok,

CLYDE FITCH PUZZLE
COMPOUNDS CRITICS
All Lett in Doubt What Becomes of the Heroine in Viola
Aliens New Play, "The Toast of the Town.

Clyde Fitch has stirred up a commo-
ton over the ending of another of his
plays When, years ago. Richard Mans
Held produced Beau Brummel,' there
was seething discussion regarding the
authors Intentions as to the ending of
the play. Mr.. Fitch has again. like his
tory, repeated himself In such cities
where Viola Allen has presented THE
Toast Of the Town." MIR. Fitch has had
the critics by the ears as TO what hap
pened finally to Betty Singleton. the
heroine OF the play.
1t will be recalled that BrummeI was
thought by some to have lost his mind
In the last act Of the play. This was the
natural conclusion. for IT is what hap
pened. In reality. to the Beau. When
the play was presented for the first
time Brummel was discovered in the last
act in weak and demented state. and
when in this condition he imagined tha.

was found. however. that this scene was
not understood by the theatergoers; so
1t was found necessary to bring in the
real characters In the play to represent
the mental snecters"
The puzzle was introduced in this
wise: The Beau ushered In his imagin-

into stupor. His friends then appear
upon the scene; they awaken him and
his delight is so great that he again
sinks into forgetfulness. The question
naturally arises whether his friends did

him. and resumed his former state of
glory.
