Admiral Jonquieres Bids
Rogestvensky Adieu

LONDON. April e4.-Interest in the
war still centers on the Baltic fleet, but
beyond the official statement that it has
sailed from Kamranh Bay there is no
news of its movements.
Correspondents at Tokyo report some
relief in the popular tension, although
verifcation of the suspicion that the
Russians have had a harbor on the
Indo-China coast for more than a week
brings the realization that they have
accomplished their purpose in revictual-
ing, and recoaling, and otherwise pre-
pairing for battle undfsturbed-
Dispatches from Saigon represent Adj
mtral Rogestvensky. his officers and
crews as highly confident of victory.
They expect Admiral Niebogatoff's
squadron to join them any day.
Admiral Jonquieres visited the feet
and bade farwell to Admiral Rogest-
vensky before the latter sailed. They
exhibited great cordiality. The CORE
spondents say that Saigon is henefiting
greatly in q commercial way from the
Russian demands.
1t Is believed that Admiral RogeStven-
sky will remain for a fortnight longer

FOUR HOURS OF FIRING

HoNGKONG, April 2.-The Russian
squadron has been attacked by several
ships of Admiral Togo's fleet, but the
nature of the fight is unknown. nor is
it possible to say how serious have been
the results.
A cable from Hue. 120 miles north
east OF kamranh bay, announces that
the Russian were attacked south CT the
gulf of Tonking Saturday night, and
that the battle lasted more than three
hours.
Begins After Midnight.
The gun fire could be plainly heard on
Touron. twenty-five miles southwest OF
the city Of Hue, and began shortly after
midnight. The Russian squadron was
then more than thirty miles out TO sea-
1t is assumed here that the japanese
attack was begun by their torpedo boats
and their speedy arrnored cruisers.
The dispatch from Hue has been con-
firmed by another from Saigon. through
the French cable line, which says there
was heavy firing off the French Cochin
China coast during the night, and that
the cannonading lasted more than four
hours.
Torpedo Attack.
The fact mat no RUSSIAN SnipS naV9
returned either to Kamranh Bay or
Touron harbor, northeast, leads naval
officers here tc believe that the fight was
torpedo attack ON the part OF the
japanese, and that this is the beginning
OF a series cf night battles planned
against the Russians while Rogestvensky
is making his way in the China sea
toward Formosa.
Cable messages have been sent to all
points on the coast, but no further defln-
ite information has come

Actor Best Beloved

troops of friends were the accompani-
