Where Are Missing Ships?

st. Petersburg, April 11.-Some naval
officers conjecture that the four miss
ing battleships are delaying in order to
form junction with Vice Admiral
Nebogatoff's division, but general
credence is given the report that the
battleships are taking southern route
thru the Sunda straits, the selection Of
the Singapore route being regarded as
in the nature of a feint and to min
imize the danger Of torpedoboat attack
on the mainstays Of the feet.
Whether Vice Admiral Rojestyen-
sky's battleship division passed thru
the Straits of Sunda or the Straits Of
MALAGA, it is practically certain now
that it is moving to effect a luncture
with the division which passed Singa-
It is. possible that this may not take
place until the two divisions reach Cape
Padaran, on the east coast Of Cochin
China.
The dispatches from Singapore nam
ing the ships that passed Saturday were
erroneous in several particulars.
Jap Squadron OFF Borneo.
According to the admiralty's infor-
nation, the Japanese have had an OBJ
servation squadron in the waters of
Labuan, British Borneo, where they.
took the same advantage of British nen-
trality as Rojestvensky did of French
neutrality at Madagascar, and this
moned by Japanese scouts to remain In
touch with the Russians until they go
north to the straits of Formosa, where
| it is believed here battle will occur.
Considering the vital nature Of the IS
sue, the admiralty is inclined to think
that Admiral Togo will not dare to
send ships to Vladivostok or leave YES

Japanese coast and the transport feet.

selves until the naval battle is fought
Clean Bottoms While They Move.
| It is learned that the Russian ships
have on board patent appliances con-
sisting of steel brushes attached to 2
band, which, running under the vessel,
can be used quite effectively to clean
the bottom. The speed Of warships in
this way, it is calculated, can be in-s
creased at least knot. The admir-
atty is greatly gratifed at the speed
developed by the squadron while steam-

officially figured at nine instead OF
eight knots.

ticeable here at the national capital, at

There is a growing feeling that
Japan is acquiring altogether too much
power, and the future Of our, commerce
in the far east and of our political rela-
tions to that region is a problem in
which new and most potent factors are
appearing. b
The amazing success Of Japan in her

other. -

JAPAN'S POWER As
CAUSE FOR ALARM
Washington Begins to Fear Con-
sequences Of Mikado's In
fluence in East.

. Chicago, April ll.--Walter Wellman,
IN q Washington special to the Record
Herald, says:
President Roosevelt and the Ameri-
can government are carefully watching
the development of Japanese power in
the Tar east. Since the president left
Washington on his western tour, and
since his recent efforts to make peace
between Japan and Russia were made
known, members of the diplomatic
corps have been engaged in most ami
mated discussion as to the motives
which led the president to seek to hast
en- peace. !,
MI: Roosevelt had been actuated Who'll
y by motives Of humanity, that he was
horrlhed at the slaughter in the far
east, and that he deemed it hopeless for
Russia to continue offering such dread
sacrifices on the altar Of stubborn
pride. 1t now appears that, while this
was one of the reasons for the presi-
| dent g efforts to promote peace negotia-
tions, it was not the only one. The in
| terest of the United States in the far
eastern situation was a powerful factor.
Japan's Rise Awakens Anxiety.
The administration has not viewed
with serenity the rise Of Japan as the
predominant power in the orient, and it
does not regard it for the best inter
ests Of the United States, either politi-
cally or commercially, that the existing
equilibrium should be violently dis.
turbed. Under the leadership Of Secre.
/ tary Hay the administration opposed the
Russian eastern policy during the last
few years, because it was believed the
domination of Russia over China threat
ened to place serious obstacles in the
way of American trade in China and
thruout Asia generally. A fair equili-
brium with no single power absolutely

government the best for all concerned
