RoieatYenskH and Torn.

From the fact that on April the Rus
sian feet under Admiral RoJEsTvENsKY
vas sighted of Singapore, at the entrance
70 the China Sea, coupled with the fact
that its arrival at that point was known
TO a Japanese scouting squadron, il has
been hastily inferred that a great naval
battle is imminent. The truth, Of course,
ia that the date and place Of the collision
depend upon several circumstances.
chief among which il the distance Of
Admiral ToGo's battleships and their
rate Of speed, as compared with that Of
their opponents
IL Ia evident that RoJEsTvENsKY de-
shred not to risk an engagement in either
the Strait Of Malacca or in the Strait Of
Sunda, for in either event be would have
been at a great distance from Saigon.
IN which French harbor il defeated, he
would naturally seek a refuge. His
plan TO that end has been carried out
successfully. He mas outwtted Admiral
TOGO, who, with a feet reported TO COM
prise twenty-five ships, was sighted off
singapore on March "a, and who, there
fore, was in a position TO block his enc
my's passage, either through the Strait
OF Malacca OF through the Strait Of
Sunda. The question for him to deter
mine through his intelligence DEPART
n1ent was, Which Of the two straits " ould
be traverscd by the Russian Admiral? He
seems TO have been deceived in this
matter, and to have moved his battle
ships TO the Strait Of Sunda, hundreds
Of miles south OF Singapore. leaving,
however, by way Of precaution, a SQUAD
ron Of cruisers 10 watch the Strait Of
Malacca. In order 10 prevent his route
from becoming known TO the Japanese.
the Russian commander recognized the
necessity Of misleading the st. Peters
burg Admiralty, which, consequently,
he requested TO direct his GOLFERS that
we're 10 follow him TO rendezvous in
Sunda Strait. The orders were carried
out, and accordingly a number Of Rus
sian golfers have fallen into the hands
Of the japanese war vessels which. ac-
cording to dispatches from Batavia.
have been for some time cruising in the !
Strait Of Sunda.
Assuming then that ToGO's battle !
6Aips were on April in or near the
Strait Of Sunda, we can see that the Rus
sian feet would have the start Of him by |
several hunded miles. evenif their where
abouts could be instantly made known |
TO him by telegraph, or by wireless
telegraphy. Should he have to wait
until the news we're brought to him by
one Of his scouting cruisers, his oppo-
nsnt might gain about two days more.
in that event il would become a question
Of tremendous moment to the Toxic
whether RoJEsTvENsKY
might not be able, with the bulk Of his
feet, 10 reach Vladivostok.

settles the controversy that has been going
on at Constantinople as TO whether these guns
should be ordered from CreusOt OF KTupp.
The question has undoubtedly been settled
on political grounds to which events in Arabia
and North Africa are not entirely foreign but
by way OF compensation, and rather In q
Mica wberlike spirit. the Sultan has signed
another trade approving a French loan salts
Tying the French demands on account OF
the Syrian railway and the Constantinopls
quays. The claims on account Of the Syrian
railway we're politically important as It was
always possible that in the event Of its being
urgently needed for the transport Of troops
and war material the management might
refuse service until a settlement had been
made. The Turks have had q similar eXpe-
rience with the Austrian controlled Ottoman
railways in European Turkey.
The chief Importance OF these two Incidents
lies in their having occurred at this time. Just
after the Emperor Williams Morocco speech.
and in spite Of the insistence OF the French
Ambassador az Constantnopls that part IL
not the whole OF the order for the guns should
be placed in France II is said that the French
Embassy is not entirely satisfied with the re-
suit, but the Turks will no doubt BE- quite
willing 10 reopen the discussion. which will
defer a settlement while their artillery IL
being made in Germany. Indeed II has been
more than limited that. in anticipation Of the
matter being arranged as II has, part Of the
order has already been completed.
