WHERE IS ROJESTVENSKYq
st. Petersburg Hears He Is on the
Way to VLadiUOStok.

St Petersburg April 22.-Reports are current
here that the Russian second Pacific squadron has
already left Kamranh Bay and is on its way TO
NIadivostok. but the government will proceed
With action on the japanese protest as if the
squadron had not continued its voyage. The
Foreign Office expresses confidence that when
al the facts are known It Will be found that the
Russians did not violate the neutrality of
France Serious complications are not expected.
The latest word Of Admiral Rojestvensky was
the dispatch from the agent OF the Finance
Ministry at Shanghai saying the squadron had
passed through the Strait of Formosa, but the
authority given by the agent for his statement
is considered doubtful.
Nothing has been heard from the fourth divi-
sion Of the Russian squadron, commanded by
Admiral Nebogaton. Most Of the naval men ex-
press the opinion that Rojestvensky will not
await a juncture with Nebogatoff. but will allow
this weaker division TO trail behind him.
A special service was held in the Admiralty
Church yesterday 10 offer prayers for the safety
OF the squadron and its successful arrival at
NladlVOstok The service was attended by the
High Admiral. Grand Duke Alexis; Admiral
AVellan. Chief OF the Admiralty: other prom
inent naval officers and large congregation.
The story that the Russian protected cruiser
Askold. interned at Shanghai is taking on coal
and preparing 10 slip out. is again denied
The Admiralty denies the reports that Rus
sia has bought several South American war
ships through Paris Intermediates.

months ago for purposes Of repairing. The main
norton OF the Diana's machinery must now be
handed over to the French naval authorities ct
saigon.
The anticipated debate in the Chamber OF
Deputies over the question OF neutrality was
postponed owing TO the Delcasse announcements
The only reference TO the subject was the in
ouiry by Deputy Deloncle and the brief reply
from Premier ROuvier, who said:
Formal. precise and repeated orders have been
given our agents in lndo-China TO assure the
absolute neutrality OF France in Indo-Chinese
waters.
X was stated ar the Foreign Office late this
afternoon that no representations OF any kind
hsd been presented by Great Britain concern
inc neutrality. At the Eame time IL is antici-
hated thai some such representations will be
mace. The fact that the British Ambassador
SIR Francis Bertie. has given Up his Easter hol-
i6ays and VIII return 10 Paris tonight after q
conference with Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
appears 10 support his view. However. the cor
dial relations existing between France and
Great Britain would doubtless modify any rep
reservations so as TO relieve them from serious
stguiacance- Anything like an energetic pro-
test from Great Britain at this time would be
deeply wounding 10 France, who relies on the
