TWEEN TWO FIRES DIDN'T PARADE
Admiral Togo Seemingly Getting Irto
Close Quarters
VLADIVOST0CK FLEET IS READY
Three of the Four Powerful Armored
Cruisers Are Seaworthy AGAIN and
Prepared to Act in the Japanese Al.

Rojestvensky.

St. Petersburg, Special.-There is
reason to believe that Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky's entrance into the China
Sea has been followed by orders for
the cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia and b.
gatir, which has been ready for some
time at V~ladivostoch to put to sea.
Whether it is the intention to send
them south Immediately or to hold
them in the vicinity of V~ladivostock is
not known. Their appearance outside
the roadstead Of V~ladivostock would
constitute a potential threat against
Admiral Togo's rear, which will COM
pei the retention in, or dispatch a num-
Der OF heavy fighting ships to japanese
waters. Thus Admiral Togo seems to
be virtually placed between two fires.
The peace influences in the govern
ment urge this favorable strategic po-
sltlon presents the psychological mo-
ment for Offering officially the olive
pfanch to Japan. reasoning that no
matter how confident the ]Japanese
government may be Of Admiral Togo's
victory, it will not overlook the posi-
blllty of defeat or fail to appreciate the
complete disaster which would follow
the transfer of the mastery of the sea
to Russia. With so much depending up
on the issue, they argue, both countries
nave mutual interest in avoiding an &C
tual test, and it is not impossible,
therefore, that a new movement in the
direction OF peace may come just as the
world expects to hear the call to quar-
ters for the greatest naval battle of
modern times. Certainly the spirits of
the wal party have beer greatly raised
by Rojestvensky's success in penetrat-
ing to the China Sea. and the prospect
OF a naval battle, even with the odds
against Russian victory, which would
change the entire complexion of the
SITUATION. has aroused something like
a hash OF enthusiasm in many Russian
breasts.
Some naval officers express the opin-
ION that Rojestvensky having now safe
~ n~avlgated the straits, instead of
sailing north to meet the Japanese, can
afford to calmly await Vice Admiral
~Nebogatoff, with his division of squad
ron, which could arrive there in about
three weeks.
