REPORT UNCONFlRMED,
But Russians Willing to Believe Ro
jestvensky IS Safe.

ST. Petersburg May 2a.-Whilc there
is no official confirmation of the Hong
kong report. that the Russian fleet has
passed through the BaShee channel, 1T
is credited by those who have insisted
from the beginning that T,OjeStvensky
will give the island of FOrmosa a wide
berth to the westward. The admiral. it
is claimed. has had ample time to
reach the Pacific since he left the wa
tiers of Indo-China.
The meagre dispatches received from
the front indicate that General Line
witch has taken a leaf out of Field
Marshal Oyama's book. at the Shakhc
river and at Mukden, and that he is
about to advance himself and under
take a counter offensive, meeting the
Japanese pressure against his left by
advancing his right. 1t is too early,
however. to determine whether the
moves thus far are more than feints.
General Linevitch in a dispatch dat
ed May u. announces that two Russian
attachments occupied the valleys of
the Kask and Khanda rivers. westward
of Nanshentsi. on the Mandarin road,
after dislOdging forces of japanese
cavalry and infantry.
The dispatch adds that General Mar
tynoff's detachment from Tadlu also
drove back the Japanese advance cav
airy outposts.
General Linevitch also reported fight
ing near ShahOtee, May Is, but did not
give the result. He said Il Russian de-
tachment east of the railroad ap-
preached the village of ShahotSc and
was attacked by Il considerable force
of Japanese from the coal mines south
of that place.
