BIRILOFF'S W ORK
GOES TO VLADIVOsTOK BECAUSE
ACTIVE MAN NEEDED.
Relations With Rojestvensky Of the
Best-Would Succeed Him if
Latter is Promoted.

ST. PETERSBURG May 2}.-The Asso-
ciated Press was informed a the admiralty
today that no direct advices have been re-
ceived from Vice Admiral Rojestyensky for
ten days, when it is believed he set out on
his long voyage The report of Rojest-
venskys death was ridiculed at the ad-
miralty.
The sending of Vice Admiral Brlof to
Vladivostok, 1t is row explained, is a nat
ural precautionary measure for the pur-
pose of having an energetic commander at
Vladivostok to replace Rojestvensky in the
event that the latter is killed or disabled
during the coming sea fight, no doubt being
entertained that II the fleets come together
Admiral Togos vessels will concentrate
their fire on the Russian flagship.
Should Rojestvensky come out of the
fight victorious and enjoying fair health it
is considered a foregone conclusion that he
will be rewarded by appointment to the su-
preme command. Fortunately the best
lations prevail between Rojestvensky and
Birioff, and the latter would be glad to
give way to his victorious colleague. Nemi-
rovich Danchenko the wellknown Russian
newspaper correspondent, has written a
spirited defense against the reproach of
drunkenness comparing his observations In
the RuSSO-lu urhiSn war ana IN the present
conflict to show the increased sobriety of
the Russian troops.
