Russian Fleet at Anchor.

Singapore. April 11.-Russia's Baltic
feet anchored near Pulomte an island
$50 miles north OF this port. -Four two
funneled warships, apparently Japa-
nese scouts, we're sighted OF Cape St.
James. near Saigon. on Friday night
Il Is believed that Roiestvensky has
divided his fleet and is making the
passage Of the Straits in two divi-
slons.
The squadron Of a vessels which
passed through the outer channel was
not accompanied by the battleships
and would be utterly impotent against
any japanese lighting squadron. Two
Russian cruisers and one destroyer
passed through the inner channel.
Great activity is being manifested
by the British garrison here. The ar
tillerymen are at the guns and the en-
gineers are ready to fire the harbor
defense mines, which are numerous
and formidable. No news can be OBJ
tanned OF the whereabouts OF the main
Japanese fleet. The Dutch In Java ex-
erclse strict censorship over all cable
messages.

Hong Kong Sends Sensa
tional News Which Gets
Little Credence

Hong KONG, April lit is reported
here that two sections OF the hostile
fleets clashed near Singapore yester-
day. and that Togo lost five vessels.
The rumor is not given much ere.
dence. although il originated in a wire
received by the Russian consul here.
Hong Kong pilots have gone on TO
navigate the Russian vessels through
the Straits. They have been offered
high pay. Il Is understood that the
Russian fleet will make.fo the friendly
harbor OF Saigon. There the vessels,
which are exceedingly foul, will be
cleaned.
Naval officials here are busy. The
Sutlej and the Iphigenia, two British
cruisers, left Monday for an unknown
destination. The Ocean and the Cen
turion. two battleships. were coaled
on Saturday and are now lying on
this port with their fires banked. The

Hussia's Information Regarding Fleet
Based On Foreign Dispatches.
st. Petersburg. April 11.-Russia's
Information regarding Rojestvensky's
fleet. its location. destination and in
tentions. is based solely on foreign
dispatches. which are all too meagre
TO prevent a quick ripening crop OF
rumors. according TO one OF which the
adverse fleets have already joined IN
battle. Others OF these dispatches are
attempting TO locate variously the bat
ueship division Of the squadron The
admiralty steadfestly processes It's in
ability to impart any light or clarity
the situation, and there Is reason to
believe that the profession Is made in
good faith, at least as applies to all
except the very highest officers.
The admiralty informed the Asso-
ciated Press that the report received
yesterday was not from the com.
mander OF the squadron. but from the
captain Of a merchant ship who had
encountered the feet and reported to
the Russian consulate at Singapore.
Some naval officers conjecture that
the four battleships are delaying In
order to effect a junction with Vice
Admiral Nebogatoff's division. but gen.
orally credence is given to the report
that the battleships are taking a
southern route through the Sunda
Straits. the selection Of the Singapore
route being regarded as in the nature
Of feint and to minimize the danger
Of a torpedo boat attack on the main
stays Of the feet.
Meanwhile events in Manchuria
have come to a pause, and at home
the main attention is being given to
the work Of the Bouligan commission,
which is formulating the plan for tie

the imperial rescript OF March g.

Millinery

Success rarely comes haphaz-
ard. There's a reason for II.
What then is the reason for the
the almost overwhelming success
OF our Spring millinery?
Philosophically-cause and e.
feet. The dictionary defines
Cause-"that which produces or
effects = result; that from which
anything proceeds. and without
which IL cannot exist" Erect
that which springs directly
from something which can prop
erly be termed a cause"
Now to come back to our MIL
hnery--its success. Why? The
cause.-the Hats; the very best
hats in town. The enect-the
greatest selling we have ever
known.
But why philosophize? A
pretty hat Is like a pretty face
its own best advocate. Come
and see our Hats.
