 The Daily Mails correspondent at Singapore gives a further report from the North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich that an Friday, April II, the Russian cruisers Dmitri Donskoi and Rion were scouting outside the bay while tug was seen bringing collfers alongside of warshipis which were coal- ing, and that many boats were trans ferring provisions to Russian vessels.
