Paris, Feb. A continuance OF the

derabe feeling and several sharp ex-

Capt. Clado referred TO an alleged
misstatement that Russian torpedo
boats remained upon the scene without
rendering aid to the traWlers. He de-
clared that no such torpedoboats re-
manned.
Hugh OBeirne, first secretary OF the

refrained from asking a delicate ques-
ton, namely why none OF the Russian
ships remained to give assistance after
knowing that peaceful fishing boats had

Capt. Clado answered that Admiral
Rojestyensky had fully explained that
he did not consider the injuries TO the
fishing boats were serious, whereas the
squadron having Just escaped from an
attack by torpedoboats, 1t was desir-
able TO withdraw the squadron as soon
