rbe povs that vessels of the Russian
.ouadr1u have put into Kamranh bay
north OF cape Padaran, off the east
,o,st of Cochin China, bears out state
mepts contained in these dispatches
. week ago to the effect that Admiral
Roisstyensky probably would seek
shelter off that port of the Cochin Chi
m coast and there coal and make his
anal prcuarations before embarllIng on
be final stage Of his journey No
definite Information is obtainablc as TO
he length Of the sQuadron's stay at
KamrQnh bay or whether the warships
have already sailed the acknowledgement
n it knows, being naturally silent on
this point
'You may be sure" said an officer
chat every precaution will be taken
against a torpedo attack, Rojestven-
sky can be relied upon to protect his
ships
Among naval men the idea that Adj
mIral Roiestvensky has divided his
squadron Is not entertained.
No confirmation has been received
here Of the reported naval engagement
north Of the Natuna islands, which, ac-
cordng to the British steamer Tele-
machus which has just arrived at
Hongkong. took place 100 miles north
Of the Nauna Islands IN the afternoon
Of April 49,
high admiral expressed to the AS
ISOLATED Press today the firm convic-
ton that Admiral Togo would not give
hattie near the Pescadore Islands,
bmosa straits, he said:
1t would be a great tactical error
to concentrate his squadron 500 miles
from Japan and run the risk Of having
R0bstyensky slip by when, by remain
Ing ia home waters Rojestvensky must
come to him I'm order to reach his only
base, Vladiyostok.
IAN the Toxic dispatches about the
proChmation of martial law In the Pes
cad0re Islands and the probable pres
ence of japanese squadron in For-
mosan waters are sent as blinds. We
do not know Roiestvensky's plans,
He has worked them out himself and,
knowing the admiral ash do, his own
b flag captain was probably in the dark
when he entered the China sea. We
have complete confidence In Rojestven-
sky'S resourcefulness. He labors UNI
der Disadvantages so far as the speed
Of his vessels is concerned but the
reports Of the condition of his ships
and crew and the latter's skill I'm gun
merry as shown by their target practise
Ore better than we considered possible,
and we firmly believe he has more than
hghlng chance Of whipping Togo h
an open fight"
