INDIGNANT AT FRANCE
Japanese Believe That Russians Are
Obtaining Stores and Supply in
Territory Of Neutrality.

st. Petersburg, May 5.-Admiral Ro
authority has sailed south to meet the
division of the Russian second Pacific
squadron commanded by Admiral Ne
bogatoff. The admiralty has informa
tion that Japanese division of fast
cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers
was sent south for the purpose, if pos
sible, of Gripping or destroying Ad
miral Nebogatoff's ships before they
could effect junction with those of
Admiral Rojestvensky and there Is
position in the Straits of Sunda. There
is also reason to believe that Admiral
Nebogatoff first approached the Straits
of Sunda, but, finding them too well
guarded, put about and headed north
for the Straits of Malacca.

Nebogatoff Would Be Easy for Swift
Adversary.
st. Petersburg, May 5.-The admir-.

the fact that Admiral Nebogatoff has
successfully reached the China Sea,
but it appreciates that the composition
vulnerable to swift adversary, espe.
cially as the crews Of his ships have
not had the training in maneuvering
or target practice which Rojestven

The Japanese Resent frances Inac-
tivity.
Toxic, May 5.-Popular attention Is
now centered on the presence of the
second Russian Pacific squadron in
French waters. While the French as
surances relating to the Kamranh Bay
incident were generally accepted, the
later discovery that the Russian fleet
continued to stay there and at other
French ports is deeply resented. The
local press charges France with bad
faith and repeats its demands for in
dependent action by Japan. The con-
servative element is willing to await
Frances explanation, hoping that
country will finally expel the Russians
Japanese Make Daily Visit to Paris
Foreign Office.
Paris May 5.-Japanese' representa-
tives here continue to make almost
daily visits to the foreign Office for the
purpose of learning what steps are be-
ing taken to compel the Russian Sec
ond Pacific squadron to respect the
neutrality of French waters and also
to present information reaching Toxic
showing that the Russian warships are
receiving supplies from French ports.
The Japs have not renewed their pro-
test but they are showing great soli-
citude and their repeated visits give a
more pressing character to their repre-
sentations each day concerning the
location of the Russian ships. 1t ap-
pears to be conceded that they are
outside the three mile limit, so the
question no longer hinges upon their
being within French territorial waters.
But Japanese information indicates
that the Russians, while outside the
neutral limits, keep up communication
with the shore, thus retaining the
practical advantages of remaining in
side neutral waters.
