London, April 20.-The latest news
from the Far East shows that certain
ly a portion of the Russian second Pa
kamranh bay Saturday morning, April
Is. This news was brought to Singa-
pore by the British ship Siu-Sang and
to Hongkong by the French steamer
Phu-Yen. The former merely reports
passing the Russian ships at II o'clock
in the morning. The Phu-Yen's officers
saw twenty vessels coaling in the bay,
and it was suspected that the remain
der of the feet was inside the harbor.
According to the Daily Nails cor
respondent at Singapore the Sui-Sang,
which was not molested by the Rus
slams, sighted a
Big French Warship
two hours later, fourteen miles to the
southwark, evidently proceeding to
Kamranh bay.
The piecemeal character of the news
excludes the possibility of any accur-
ate estimate of the movements of Vice
Admiral RojestveAsky's squadron, but
it would seem to show that the vice
admiral has divided his forces, a por-
ton of which went northward before
Saturday. What has happened since
then it is impossible to say, and there
is no clear evidence even that the Rus.
slams have been within the three.mile
limit, which would bring them, ac-
cording to international regulations,
into infringement Of
French Neutrality.
The fact that they were visible to
passing ships would appear to show
that they were outside the limit.
Japanese sentiment, however, is
greatly disturbed. The correspondent
at Toxic of the. Daily Telegraph says
he has no hesitation in declaring that
should occasion arise and her pre-
liminary protests be ignored Japan

Duluth, Mimi, April 2O.-Ten armed

The constable did go back, but re-
