RUSSIANS SEEKING TOGO.
Baltic Meet Joined by Third Squadron
of Fivo Battleships.
Paris, April 21. If tho French nil
thorltles are to bo believed, news of
momentous import may be expected
from tho Far Fast very soon, as, ac
cording to Foreign Minister Delcasso,
the Russian fleet under tho command
of Vlco Admiral Kojestvensky sailed
early on Thursday from Knmranh bay.
Its destination is unknown, but it is
believed hero that It will now sail to
endeavor to locate tho Japanese fleet
and givo battlo.
Naval experts hero believo that tho
third Pacific squadron of tho Itusslan
navy, which is commanded by Admiral
Nobogatoff, has joined Kojestvensky,
and that the latter now has eight first
class battleships, three second-claBS
battleships, three armored cruisers and
a number of other vessels of not quito
bo good n type. Ho is also believed to
have received large quantities of am
munition which had been shipped to
him some time ago, to have filled tho
coal bunkers tit his ships, and generally
to have placed his command in condi
tion to givo a good account of itself.
It Is believed here that Admiral Jon-
quleres, who Is in command of tho
rrench navr.l force In tho waters of
French Cochin China, nurecd to get a
mcBBitgo to the Russian commander to
day, and that the departure of tho Rus
sians followed. Such action has been
expected, as the French authorities
consider that tho protest of Japan
against Russia's using neutral waters
to recoal and refill depleted ammuni
tion magazines was well founded, and,
if Rupsia has been asked to move by
tho French commander in tho Far Fast,
a difficult situation has been cleared up.

ranh Bay or Fight Battlo
In tho Harbor,

plating declaring war on Franco and
calling on Great Britain for support.
This action follows the Fending of a
formal protest to France against tho
use by the Russian Baltic fleet of Kam
ranh bay as a rendezvous and the
coupling therewith of a statement that
if Franco refrained from acting Japan
will send a fleet of war vessels to attack
the Russians in tho shelter of a neutral
port.

night nt which tho entire situtaion was
discussed. Immediately afterward tho
mikado was notified that tho elders be
lieved that tho time had come when
Franco should bo forced to live up to
her declarations of neutrality, and tho
note of protest was drafted and for
warded. It is felt hero that the situation It

that if Franco docs not act quickly tho
consequences will bo far-reaching.

attack tho Russians there, while Ad
miral Togo continues to hold the pass
age toward the Pacific.

WILL USE HIS TORPEDO FLEET.
Togo
Will Not Risk His Big Vessels
Against tho Russians.
London, April 10. Baron Hayashl,
tho Japaneso minister to Great Britain,
expressed tho opinion to tho ABBociated
Press today that Admiral Togo would
not give battlo to Admiral RojcBtveu
Bky with hia entire squadron, but
would continue the cautioua tactics
which has characterized his attacks on
the Port Arthur squadron, not because
ho feared defeat, but owing to his do
Biro to inlllct tho greatest amount of
damage 011 tho Russians with the least
possible loss to himself.
While confident of his ability to ac
complish tho total destruction of tho
Russian squadron in n big battlo, there
is danger of Togo losing one or two of
hla big ships. Therefore, Baron Hay
ashl believes, Togo will employ tils
torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy
ers, which number moro than 100 and
aro vastly superior to tho Russian tor
pedo bout flotilla, In harassing tlio'Rus
slaus while gradually picking off tho
Russian warships.
Ho said the coasts of Japan, Corca
and Form obi v lend themselves to night
work with torpedo boat, while tho
narrow channels will make tho maneu
vering of largo war shipa difficult and
dangerous.
