"pHANToM SQUADRON TO SAIL
,Vladivostok Warships Ordered to Par
ticipate i'm Coming Battle.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 10.-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 Bo-
gatyr, which have been ready for some
! time at Vladivostok, to put to sea.
Whether it is the intention to send
them south Immediately or to hold
them in the vicinity of Vladivostok is
not known. Their appearance outside
the roadstead of Viadivostok would
constitute a potential threat against
Admiral Togo's rear, which will COM
pei the retention in or the dispatch of
a number of fighting ships to Japan
ese waters Thus Admiral Togo seems
to be virtually placed between two
fires.
The peace influence in the Govern
ment urges that this favorable strate-
gic position presents the psychological
moment for offering officially the olive
branch to Japan, reasoning that, no
matter how confident the Japanese
Government may be of Togo's victory,
it cannot overlook the possibility of de-
feat, nor fail to appreciate the COM.
plete disaster which would follow the
transfer of the mastery of the sea to
Russia. With so much depending. upon
the issue, they argue, both countries
have mutual interests in avoiding an
actual test, and it is not impossible.
therefore, that a move in the direction
of peace may come just as the world
expects to hear the call to quarters for
the greatest naval battle of modern
times.
Certainly the spirits of the war party
have been greatly raised by Rojestven-
sky's success in penetrating TO the
China Sea; and the prospect of naval
battle, even with the odds against a
Russian victory, which would change
the entire complexion of the situation,
has aroused something like a fash of
enthusiasm in many Russian breasts.
Some naval officers express the opin-
ion that Rojestvensky, having now
safely navigated the straits. instead of
sailing north to meet the Japanese, can
afford to calmly await Vice Admiral
Nebogatoff with his division of the
squadron, who could arrive there in
about three weeks.
The Russian Admiralty, yesterday re-
ceiyed a long dispatch from Singa-
pore but no intimation as to it's con-
tents has been given the newspapers.
The papers of Sunday morning printed
Singapore dispatches without comment,
the Sviet being the only exception.
This paper views the news from Ro-
jestvensky as an suspicious prelude to
decisive battle, which may show
that over Rojestvensky still shines the
happy star which helped him, when a
lieutenant. to save. the fragile Vesta

battlesh.p." The Sviet expresses the
hope that Rojestvensky is destined to
turn the tables and that even in case
of defeat some of his vessels will be
able to break through and reach the
japanese Sea.

A performance of Kersakoff's opera,
"Kaschez,' was given by Conservatory

There is an ominous movement of

rial comment on the situation in the

but Messrs. Gaynor and Greene, the
rascally contractors who joined with
Captain Oberlin III. Carter IN fleeing
the government out of more than $500.
oG0, are actually in Savannah, the scene
OF their crime, awaiting trial. 1t has
been six years, less a month or two,
since the first indictments were re-
turned against Gaynor and Greene. The
defendants in some way were warned
that they would be indicted and they
fed to Canada.
There they have been ever since up
to a few days ago. Their fight against
extradition will so down into legal his
tory as one OF the most remarkable of
its kind. With almost unlimited re-
sources behind them. abundantIy able
to employ the abiest counsel, Gaynor
and Greene took advantage of every
possible turn and twist Of the law TO
escape eXtradition. For a long time
they were successful once it seemed
almost certain that they would never
be tried.
But the United States government
was pertinacious. It's officers held TO
the trah Of Gaynor and Greene and
would not quit. The result is that the
accused men will be tried and. doubt
less, punished. In an interview with ar
eastern newspaper man GaynOr is quot
ed as saying that he thought he was
right 10 run away when he did run, but
he is not so sure now that he did the
proper thing, Greene is supposed to
feel the same way.
The truth is that both defendants are
reasonably sure now that they made
a mistake when they fled. The case of
Captain Carter, their accomplice,
proves this. Carter stayed at home,
was tried, convicted and sent to prison
for five years. He is enjoying his lib-
erty now. Gaynor and Greene could
not have had much pleasure IN the six
years during which they evaded extra
dition. over their heads the sword al
ways hung. They could not get away
from il.
Now they are facing prison cells.
They will hardly escape with shorter
terms than that given TO Carter. If
they don't realize that they erred badly
in running away they are obtuse in
deed.
