Tokio Sends out Reports.

Tokio, April 17.-lt is calculated here that the Russian squadron arrived at Kamkanh bay at noon April 12, and therefore had been occupying the port forty-eight hours when seen at noon on April IA
 The information received regarding ves- sels of the Russian squadrons being seen at Kamranh bay April IA reached Tokio today and was given to the public through a brief communication from the navy department. The news was a sur prise because 1t was generally doubted that France would permit the use of her ports to a belligerent squadron engaged in offensive operations The Japanese government is silent on the subject of it's intentions, but 1t is expected that it will make immediate representations to France.
 The response of France Is eagerly await ed, particularly as to whether France admits the squadron is within territorial waters. France denied that the Russian squadron was within territorial waters when off Madagascar If she denies 1t in this instance it will give Japan an oppor- tunity to attack the Russian vessels with out violating Frances neutrality. Many people, continue to believe the Russian squadron will speedily leave Kamranh bay and continue it's voyage northward

BRITISH COMMENT ON
 NEUTRALITY VIOLATION

London. April 1S.-1n the absence of further information regarding the posi- tion of the Russian and Japanese fleets, the London morning papers are keenly discussing the neutrality question, for the most part in a strong pro-Japanese tone.
 The Morning Post takes the milder view that the Kamaranh bay is a mere fishing port, and unable to provide coal or other supplies to the Russian squad ron, which probs<ly took shelter there to replenish from it's own collieries, and that though a technical breach of neutral ity has been committed the French au- thorities could hardly be held responsi- ble unless 1t can be proven that they

sian stores, combined to indicate that the Russian rendezvous is not far distant from Saigon. and that probably it Is in or near Kamranh bay.
 The officials here say that no govern ment dispatches have been received. They have been privately informed that the Russian squadron was off lne coast of 1ndo China two days ago, but are posi- tive that the squadron is now further north, probably sheltering along the coast of Annam.
 This locality is considered particuarly dangerous. owing to the rocky coast the currents, and the prevalence of tropical storms.
 The appearance of a case of ber-beri at Saigon causes apprehension, as the malady resembles yellow fever and is sim ilarly infectious. The halt of the Russian squadron apparently was due to Admiral Rojestvensky' desire to have an oppor- tunity to communicate with St. Peters burg and gather information concerning the movements of the Japanese

Rojestvensky Works Ruse,

French government nor the Japanese Iega- tion has yet been advised that Japan ex- poets to make representations to France as result of the presence of vessels of the Russian second Pacific squadron at Kamranh bay. Therefore neither party is prepared to anticipate the possible action.
 The legation is inclined to view that Japan's action will depend upon whether the Russians make a prolonged stav at KGmranh bay. However, both the govern
 ment and the Japanese officials show considerable skepticism concerning the whereabouts of Admiral Rojestvenskv foreseeing possible naval ruse If repre- sentations are made they would be like lI to involve the question of political status under the French protectorate.

RoIestvensky Can Protect HImsef.

St. Petersburg, April 17.-Q1:55 a. m9- The news that vessels of the Russian squadron have put into Kamranh bay, north of Cape Padaran, off the east coast Of Cochin-China, bears out statements contained In these dispatches a week ago to the effect that Admiral Rojest- vensky would probably seek shelter off that part of the Cochin-China coast and there coal and make his final preparations before embarking on the final stage of his journey. No definite information is obtainable as to the length of the squad ron's stay at Kamranh bay or whether the war ships have already sailed, the admiralty even if it knows, being nat urally silent on this point
 You may be sure,' said an officer that every precaution will be taken against torpedo attack, Rojestvensky can be relied upon to protect his ships.."
 Among naval men the idea that Ad- miral Rojestvensky has divided his squadron Is not entertained.
 No confirmation has been received here of the reported naval engagement north of the Nantuna islands which according to the British steamer Telemachus. which has just arrived at Hong Kong, took place 150 miles north of the Nantuna islands, on the afternoon of April 12.
 A high placed admiral expressed to the Associated Press today the firm convic- tion that Admiral Togo would not give battle near the Pescador Islands, For mosa straits. He said:
 What Togo Ought to Do.
 Tt would pc great tactical error 10 concentrate his squadron 800 miles from Japan and run the risk of having Rojest- yensky slip by, when by remaining in home waters Rojestvensky must come to him in order to reach his only base Vladivostok.
 ''All the Tokio dispatches about the proclamation of martial law in the Pes cadore islands and the probable presence of a Japanese squadron in Formosan wa ters are sent as blinds. We do not know Rejestvenskys plans. He has worked them out himself, and knowing the ad- miral as I do, his own flag captain was probably in the dark when he entered the China sea. We have complete con- fdence in Rojestvensky's resourcefulness. He labors under disadvantages so far as the speed of his vessels is concerned, but the reports of the condition of his ships and crews and the latter's skill in gum nery, shown by their target practice, are better than we considered possible. and we firmly believe he has more than fighting chance of whipping Togo in an open fight"
