STRENGTH OF THE FLEETS.
Togo Has the Advantage by Ratio
of Seven to Five.

PARIS. April 1S.-The Russian
naval attache here. Captain Yepant-
chine. in an interview. says he believes
the strategic situation will lead Ad-
miral Togo to await Admiral Rojest-
Vensky off Nagasaki, Japan, where
Togo viii have a base TO repair his
damaged ships. This, Captain Yep
antchine admits, is important, owing
10 the japanese not having repair yes
sells.
The captain says further that
Togo's total strength represents seven
battleships against Rojestvensky's five.
The gun power of the squadrons he
asserts, is practically the same. Togo's
heavy guns, dismounted for use at the
siege Of Port Arthur, have been re-
placed by new guns of English and
American make.
The captain declares that Rojest-
vensky's lengthy voyage constitutes an
achievement unparalleled in the past.

WILL NOT RISK A BATTLE.
Togo Prefers TO Harass Russians With
Torpedo Attacks.


LONDON, April 1s.-Baron Hay
ashi. the japanese Minister to Great
Britain. expressed the opinion to-day
that Admiral Togo would not give
battle TO Admiral Rojestvensky with
his entire squadron, but would con-
tinue the cautious tactics which char
acterized his attacks on the Port Ar
thur squadron, not because he feared
defeat. but owing to his desire to in
aict the greatest amount OF damage
on the Russians with the least loss
TO himself. While confident of his
ability to accomplish the total de-
structiOn Of the Russian squadron in
battle, there is danger Of Togo losing
one or two of his big ships. Therefore,
Baron Hayashi believes, Togo will
employ his tOrpedo-boats and torpe-
do-boat destroyers. which number
more than 100 and are vastly superior
10 the Russian torpedo-boat notilla, in
harassing the Russians, while grad
ually picking of the Russian war
ships.

tions were adopted. President Alexan-
der made a brief speech. Vice Presi-
dent Hyde followed him and in the
course of his remarks referred to the
sale by second Vice President Tart5ell

account to the company which brought
forth sharp retort from Tarbell.
SHARP RETORT MADE.
AZ may have sold my renewal inter-
ests.'' said Tarbell, but / will never
be called upon to put any money back
into the treasury of the society" This
declaration was greeted with cheers.

hissed by general agent of the So
ciety, who was said to be the leader in
last nights movement to engage Jo-
seph H. Choate, now American Embas-
sador to Great Britain, to conduct an
investigation on behalf of the agents
into the society's affairs. Hyde re-
marked that any such reception really
was a compliment and proceeded with
what he had to say, undisturbed by the
incident He said If he had done any
thing wrong, financially or otherwise,
or had participated in any wrong doing
by others, he should be kicked out"
and if any other officers of the society
had been guilty of wrong doing they
should be thrown into the street.
As he was leaving HYDE said he
would not return again to any confer
ence of the agents unless he was sent
for, in which event he would be very
glad to respond.
