Commissioner Warner said that he
was determined that such practices
should be stopped in his term of Of
flee.
The errors made in the case Of the
Pennsylvania militiamen were mex
cusable, he said, because the records |
of the pension bureau show that the |
members of that regiment are not pen

MovIne e JoIn cruIser Division.

st. Petersburg, April 12.-Whether
Vice Admiral ROjestvensky's battle
ship division passed through the
Straits Of Sunda or the Straits of Ma
lacca, it is practically certain now that
he is moving to effect a juncture with
the division which passed Singapore
April 8.
1t is possible that this may not take
place until the two divisions reach

Cochin-China-
The dispatches from Singapore
naming the ships which passed there
Saturday are erroneous in several par
ticulars, notably in the case of the
Fuerst Bismarck, rechristened the
Don, which is still at Libau.
According to the admiraltys infor- |
nation, the Japanese have had an OBJ
servation squadron in the waters off
Labuan, British Borneo, where they
took the same advantage of British
neutrality as Rojestvensky did Of
French neutrality at Madagascar, and
this squadron is believed to have been
summoned by Japanese scouts to re-
main in touch with the Russians until
they 90 north to the Straits of For
mosa, where, it is believed here, a bat
tie 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 Vladi-
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 Z
have to shift for themselves until the
naval battle is fought.
So far as ascertainable, Rojest- a
gensky has no intention of putting in d
10 Saigon, the entrance to that port L
being narrow. but it is believed that
he will remain in the open sea.
