JUST WHEN AND WHERE is
VERY UNCERTAIN.

y INGAPORE. May Is.-The Russian
y fleet was in latitude 1880 north
and longitude 11.30 east (about 120
miles northeast of Cape VareIIa, coast
of Aunam), during the morning of May
Is. according to a report brought here
by the British steamer Hongwan l.
The German steamer Segovia sighted
forty-two Russian ships forty miles
from Cape Varella May 10, steaming
slowly north.
The latitude and longitude in which
the Russian fleet was reported by the
British steamer HOnEman I does not
indicate that a naval battle Is immi-
nent. The Russians were, on May IS.
only about $50 miles from the coast of
AMMAN and apparently heading north
Tor the waters of the island of Hainan.
near which. according TO a HOngkOng
dispatch $50 junks laden with pro
visions were waiting for the Russian
fleet- Even in case Admiral Rojest-
Neusky decided not to take these sup
plies on board or if the HOngkOng re-
port Is incorrect. the Russian fleet May
10 was still about zoe miles from the
southern part of the island of FOrmOsa.
where il has been asserted Admiral
Togo may give battle. and it is doubt

about 200 miles a day under the most
