Russian and Japanese squadrons in

terest shown here in the earlier devel

1t is aiken for granted that Admiral
Togos ships, reported to be in the
neighborhood OF Singapore In the mid
die of March, are still in that vicinity,
and the report from Penang, on the
west coast OF the Malay peninsula,
that twelve Japanese ships were seen
steahling ahead of Russian warships,
is interpreted to mean that the former
are scouts sent out by Togo to get in
touch with the Russians, and when
their object is accomplished to retire
on the main body of the Japanese
squadron.
Reports about the numbers of Rus
sian ships vary, but at any rate there
are over thirty-five battleships, cruis-
ers, colllers and torpedoboats that have
passed the port OF Singapore Under

The president Is highly elated over
his hunting, and said that the day had
been the best sport that he had ever
