BATTLE IS NOT
EXPECTED SOON
Admiralty Circles in Russia
Are Taking This
View.
TOGO WILL AVOID IT
Base Their Belief on Strategic ana
Tactical Reasons - Probability Of
Sortie BY the Rejuvenated V'adi-
vostok Fleet Commented Upon.

Using Tau, S ntung Peninsula,
China. April 2G.--Russian officers here
has received news that Vice Admiral
Roiestvensky's fleet, on leaving kam'
ranh bay. steamed in a southerly d.
rection to join Nebagotoff's detach-
ment.
Che Foo, April 26.--lt was reported
from Korea yesterday that Admlral
Togo with the major part OF his
squadron was at Masampo bay, near
Fusan, Korea, April ~.
st. Petersburg, April 26.-Admiralty
circles are coming to accept the view
that there will be no great or general
action between the fleets or RUSSIA
and Japan for some time, baslng thelr
belief on strategic and tactical rea-
sons. which incline Admiral togo TO
avoid a decisive action until he mas
made every effort to demoralize the
Russian feet by torpedo attacks and
interference with transports by his
cruiser division.
The admiralty last evening secuted
+ the reports that engagements nave
already occurred, pointing out the
great distance separating the places
where the dispatches originated, and
q naval officer cabled that reports
| from English sources should not only
be doubted but even mistrusted.
The probability of sortie by the
Vladivostok squadron in attempt to
join Admiral Rojestvensky is dis
cussed by the Rasvedchik, military
weekly paper, which confirms the re-
port that the three cruisers, Gromo-
boi, Rossia and Bagatyr, have been
repaired and that Vladivostok harbor
is free Of ice, and comments on this
accession Of strength to Rojestvensky.
The paper also intimates that there
is a possibility that Vice Admiral Ne
bogatoff may await a second reinforce
ment squadron, and expresses the
opinion that Rojestvensky will now
proceed as rapidly as possible TO
Vladivostok.
Saigon, Cochin China, April 90
Advices just received from kamranh
bay say that twenty Japanese war
ships passed the bay between and J
O'Clock in the evening of April %.
Two ships loaded with rice from
Saigon and bound for japan have
been captured by ships belonging tc
the Russian squadron.
Russian officers are reported tc
have declared that Admiral Rojestven
sky Is determined to fight Admira
Togo and will endeavor to vanqulsf
the Japanese squadron or sink witt
it. Admiral Rojestvensky has givel
every detail of the coming contiic
his particular attention. Togo's flag
ship will be his objective, accordln:
to special plan.
More firing at sea was heard a
Kamranh bay Sunday morning. Th'
reports were extremely faint.

UNITED STATES As
INTERMEDIARY

st, Petersburg April 25.-'-Mystcr-
ions rumors that another attempt at
ncace negotiations is impending are
circulating N high quarters and the
United State. is directly mentioned
as the intermediary. The Associated
Press has No; becn able To- obtain any
confirmation Of the REPORTS. NO in
timation OF such Il move has reached
the American embassy, but at the
foreign Office Yesterday afternoon an
official inquired, perhaps significantly,
when President Roosevelt would re-
turn 20 Waslin&Loa. AS previously
stated III these DISPATCHES, a consider
able party in the government hold
strongly to the opinion that now that
Admiral Rojestvensky is ready to
strike, but before the issue is put
to the test, would be the most oppor-
tune time for opening negotiations.
London, April 25.-The correspond
ent at Toxic of the Daily Telegraph
sends the following dispatch: Japan
j.; vigorously protesting against the
preparations for flight from Shanghai
of the Russians protected cruiser
Askold.
at is feared that more difficulties
will arise on account of China'S in
ability to enforce her neutrality with
respect to the report that the Rus
sian Pacific squadron is coaling Off
IIainan.'
Kamranh Bay, Indo China, via
Saigon, April 25.-,The Russian squad
ron consisting of fifty-two ships, in
Guiding transports, left Kamranh bay
at noon April %. and the main por-
ton soon disappeared in northerly
direction. Sixteen vessels, the Rus
sian cruiser Sviatlana, the Russian
hosrital ship Orel, four German trans
ports, seven Danish transports and
three Russian transports, remained
in the otfing.
Fishermen and others assert that
they heard heavy cannonading off
Kamranh bay during the evening OF
April %.
It is believed here that it IS Al
miral Rojestvensky's intention TO do
everything possible to have Admiral
Nebogatoft join him before under
taking a decisive battle. A torpedo
boat destroyer is patrolling the coast.
The French third class cruiser Des
Cartes left here at o'clock Satur-
dav afternoon for a point on the
ccnst where a fisherman reports that
he saw twenty warshins. The man,
however, was unable to give their
nationality.

Discouragins Flax Outlook.

The general outlook for flaxseed ap-
peals to the ordinary farmer at this
season of the year and farmers who
consider the advisability Of fax rails
ing will be interested in the condi-
tons which have governed the flax
market during the past year and
which will be a criterion for the con-
ditions Of the coming crop. Leading
statisticians figure that at this time
there is an equivalent to 10 million
bushels of seed in seed and oil in
Minneapolis and Duluth; that country
elevators and farmers hold at least
s million bushels and that outside Of
the flax belt, there are 5 million
bushels more in storage tanks. This
makes an availaSle supply Of flax in
the seed and oil vf at least 20 million
bushels. The ncfmal consumption of
seed for all pT4s)oses in the United
States is approximately 10 million
bushels 1t Is, therefore, apparent
that an actual surplus Of about 1 mil
lion bushels is cow in sight, after
allowing for all demands for seed
during the coming gear 1t is now Ger.
tain that Europe will be able to draw
from the countries usually supplying
Europe, at least Is million bushels,
und that no possibility for exporting
eny of our seed presents itself. Dam
age reports from lydia and Argentine
have been shown 90 be highly eXag.
p-eratad The TInt3ed States cOnSc-
Quently, will be Obliged to take care
Of all the seed now In sight with that
of another crop. This will have de-
pressing effect on the prices in this
country and means that the values of
seed will be largely regulated by this
enormous surplus, to be further aug
mented by the coming crop. In view
of the foregoing it is hardly likely
that American farmers are going to
take any chances in saving unusual
quantities Of flax this pear. Farmers
In the sections which produced the
major portion of last years crop are
hesitating and the enormous available
supply, together with almost certain
lower prices, certainly are good rea-
sons for serious consideration. A good
crop of flax added to existing stocks
will naturally mean unprecented low
values, and farmers are not going to
take any risk as long as inducements
are held out to them in the way of
high priced wheat and other cereals.

RCJESTVENSKY WILL WAIT.
Evident That He Will Not Proceed
Until Reinforced.

OnSlt REINFORCED.
Toxic, April 2S.-The movements
Of the squadron commanded by Adj
miral Rojestvensky and the lnten-
tons of the Russian commander con-
tinue to be the subject of general in
.erest and speculation.
The last Japanese reports are con-
licting and confusing. They do not
indicate definitely the purposes OF
Rojestvensky, but it is evidently the
intention of the Russian admiral to
await junction with the division
commanded by Admiral Nebogatotf,
which increases the probability Of his
intention of giving Admiral Togo a
decisive battle.
1t is assumed that Rojestvensky
will bring all the ships and guns pos
sible into action if he intends to fight
decisively, Or that he will detach ana
abandon his slow, cumbersome and
useless ships if he intends to run
the gauntlet to Vladivostok. 1t is
believed that the location and date
of the engagement will depend en-
tirely On Roiestvensay.
The japanese defensive plans arc
concealed with absolute secrecy.
The proclamation issued are viewed
calmly by the officials and public.
The people appreciate the Importance
of retaining the sea power Of Japan
and the great consequences which
hinge on victory or defeat, but they
are confident Of success owing to
the superiority in numbers and
strength of the armored cruisers OF
Japan, which, it is believed, will
counterbalance the Russian superb
GRITTY in battleships.
The prospective junction of the
Fifth division with the other divisions
of the Russian squadron and the dis.
advantage at which Japan is placed
owing to the shortage of battleships
apparently cause no apprehension
here.
The Japanese rely on their superior
ity in mobility, personnel and morale
and on the condition of their war
ships to bring them victory Extend
ing the comparison beyond the first
line Of battle it is urged that JaIan
possesses a preponderating and valu-
able advantage in lighter cruiser,
torpedo boat destroyers, torpedo
beats and submarine boats. The
proclamation of martial law in the
island of Formosa, which is strongly
and extensively defended. is the only
public announcement of the defensive
steps taken by Japan. The public
does not know the location Of TCgos
squadron, the officers and men hay
ing ceased communicating with their
families and friends.
