ROJESTVENskY SAILS SOUTH TO
MEET NEsocAToFF's Dl.
VISION.
JAPs GROWING REsENrFuL
THE CONTINUED VIOLATION OF
FRENCH NEUTRALITY
AROUsES ANGER.

St. Petersburg, May 7.-Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, according to a high naval
authority, has sailed south to meet
the division of the Russian second Pa
cific squadron commanded by Admiral
Nebogatoff The admiralty has infor-
nation that a Japanese division OF
fast cruisers and torpedo boat de-
stroyers was sent south for the pur-
pose of destroying Nebogatoffs ships
before they could effect junction
with those of Rojestvensky, and there
is reason to believe that the Japanese
took up a position in the Straits OF
Sunda, through which Nebogatoff
originally intended to make the pass
age into the North sea. There is also
reason to believe that Nebogatoff> first
approached the straits OF Sunda, but
finding them
Too Well Guarded,
put about and headed north for the
Straits of Malacca, his division lack.
ing the protection of fast cruisers and
being at a great disadvantage in meet
ing torpedo boat attacks.
The admiralty expresses much graf
ification at the fact that Admiral Ne
bogatoff has successfully reached the
China sea, but appreciates that the
composition of his division renders
particul arly vulnerable to swift adj
versary, especially as the crews OF his
ships have not had the training in
maneuvering or the target practice
which Admiral Rojestvensky's crews
had while off the island of Madagas-
car. and the anxiety here will be COM
pletely relieved only when it is known
that a junction has been effected.
Violates French Neutrality.
Toxic, May Popular attention is
now conferred on the presence of the
second Russian Pacific squadron in
of France relating to the Kamranh
bay incident were generally accepted,
the latter discovery that the Russian
ships continued their stay at Kam-
ranh bay, and then entered other
French ports, has created feeling OF
keen disappointment, rapidly growing
deeply resentful The local press
charges FIdlCG Will Deu lelltil anu ~
peats the demands for independent &C
ton on the part of the Japanese gov
eminent. The conservative element
is awaiting Frances response in ex-
PLANTATION, hoping that that govern
ment finally will expel the Russian
rear admiral, Rojestvensky. from it's
waters.
Renews Protest.
Paris, May 1.-THE Japanese repre-
sentatives here continue to make al.
most daily visits to the foreign office
for the purpose Of learning what steps
are being taken to compel the Russian
second Pacific squadron to maintain
the neutrality of French waters and
also to. prevent the Russian warships
receiving supplies from French ports.
These visits have led to the publica-
ton of reports that DR.. MotonO, the
Japanese minister, has submitted an.
other protest on the subject. This is
not correct, the visits as yet not hav-
ing resulted in a renewal OF the Jap.
anese protest.
However, it is evident that the JAP
anese are showing growing solicitude
and their repeated vir,7s give more
pressing character to TIE representa-.
tions each day concerning the loca
ton of the Russian ships.
Russian Ships Sighted.
