London, By Cable-There is as vet
no news of a naval battle in the far
East or of the whereabouts of the ri
val fleets. The Hong Kong correspon-
dent of the Daily Mail sends a rumor
of small engagement, but there is no
| confirmation OF this report. Details
regarding the Russian ships in Kan
ranh Bay. Cochin-China. are too mea-
| gre to be instructive. According to the
Daily Mails Singapore correspondent,
the North German Lloyd steamer
Prinz Heinrich saw five battleships and
six cruisers in the bay. but dispatches
to others of the London morning news
papers are not SO precise.
The presence Of the Russian squad
ron off the AMMAN coast is raising
keen interest here, in view of the pos
sibility of their infringement of Chi
nese neutrality and the likelihood OF
Rojesvensky having to split his squad
ron. The Morning Posts correspondent
at Shanghai telegraphs that China has
| instructed the Governors of the South
| ern provinces to maintain stri It nell
trality. in the view of the Russian
ships sheltering there.

cial announcement was made today:
''The force advancing north from
,Singking, driving the enemy before

miles north OF Singking. at / o'clock
