London, April 19-Baron Hayashi,
the japanese minister to Great Bri-
tain, expressed the opinion that Admi-
raj Togo would not give battle to Ad-
miral RoiestyenslSy with his entire
squadron. but would continue the cau-
tious tactics which characterized his
attacks on the Port Arthur squadron,
not because he feared defeat, but owing
70 his desire to inaict the greatest
amount Of damage on the Russians
with the least loss to himself While
confident of his ability TO accomplish
the total destruction of the Russian
squadron in big battle, there is the
danger of Togo losing one or two of
his big ships. Therefore Baron Hay
ashi believes Togo will employ his tor
pedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers
which number more than 100 and are
vastly superior to the Russian torpedo
boat hotilla is harassing the Russians
while gradually picking off the Russian
warships He said the coasts Of Japan
Korea and Formosa lend themselves
10 night work with torpedo boats, s,whila
the narrow channels will make the ma
noeuyring of large warships difficult
and dangerous.
