'eREAT NAVAL BATTLE EXPECTED
Russian Baltic Fleet Is Now Near the
Japanese.


Admiral Rojestvensky, with the first
Baltic squadron, has crossed the In.
dian ocean, traversed the straits of
Malacca, passed Singapore and the
southern extremity of the Malay pen.
insula and entered the China sea- He
has at last reached waters over which
the Japanese war vessels have been
cruising for several months In fact,
he has arrived at that point on his
course where it has been generally
believed Admiral Togo would be lying
in wait for him. Consequently, the
world is prepared to hear Of naval
engagement of the first order on the
high seas.
Roiestvensky has with him between
40 and so ships of all character, in
Guiding golfers, transports and hos
pital vessels. The second Baltic squad
ron is far behind and can be of no
assistance If battle is as imminent
as most people think Togo's strength
Is unknown. The Japanese have main
tanned their customary secrecy in re-
gard to the movements of their fleets
and the probable plan of naval cam
paign. 1t is safe to conclude, how
veer, that a good part Of the Japanese
navy lies in Rojestvensky's track, for
it is not needed elsewhere, and the
Japanese naval officers probably under
stand that they need great strength if
they are to administer a blow that
will keep the Pacific clear Of Russian
vessels till peace is declared.
With such strict secrecy maintain
ed, it is, of course, impossible to tell
where the Japanese will strike. 1t. was
thought at one time that Togo would
attempt to intercept the enemy in the
straits of Malacca, but it is evident
that he has other plans. It was given
out not long ago that he would lure
the Russians up the Chinese coast and
attack them nearer home. Whatever
the plan, the Japanese are probably
aware of Rojestvensky's approach, for
scouts have been steaming over the
East Indian waters for weeks, and the
entire Japanese feet is prepared to
act according to program that was
perfected long ago. However much |
it may be departed from, it is evident
that great sea fight can not be far
off.

SEA dogs TO BATTLE
RUSSIAN CRUISERS AT VLADIVOS'
TOK TO PUT TO SEA.
Admiral Toga Seems to Be Placed Be-
tween Two Fires-Peace Party at
ST. Petersburg Thinks Japan Can
Not Refuse Reasonable Offer
Rojestvensky May Wait for Weeks

st. Petersburg, April 11.-There is
reason to believe that Vice Admiral
Rosjestvensky's entrance into the
China sea has been followed by orders
for the cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia and
Bogatyr, 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 Vladivo-
stok is not known. Their appearance
outside the roadstead of Vladivostok
would constitute potential threat
against Admiral Togo's rear which will
compel the retention in or dispatch
of number of fighting ships to jap
anese waters. Thus Admiral Togo
seems to be virtually placed between
two fires.
The peace party of the government
urges that this favorable strategic po-
sition presents the psychological mo-
ment for offering officially the olive
branch to Japan, reasoning that no
matter how confident the Japanese
government may be of Togo's victory,
it can not overlook the possibility of
defeat 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 that both countries
have mutual interests in avoiding an
actual test and it is not impossible,
therefore, that new move in the di-
rection of peace may come just as the
world expects to hear the call to quar-
tiers for the greatest naval battle of
modern times.
Certainly the spirits of the war par
ty have, been greatly raised by Ro-
jestevensky's success in penetrating to
the China sea, and the prospect of a
naval battle, even with the odds
against Russian victory, which
would change the entire complexion
Of the situation, has aroused some
thing like a flash 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 Admiral Ne
gogatoff with his division of the
who could arrive there in
about three weeks.
