agets, who are probably In French em

COAIilXG IXSIDE THE HARBOR
Part of Baltic Fleet Seen, by French
Steamer Saturday.
LONDON, April 19. The latest news
from the Far East shows certainly that
a portion of the Russian Second Pacific
squadron was still coaling at Kamranh
Bay Saturday morning. April 15. This
news was brought to Singapore by the
British steamer Sui Sang and to Hong
Kong by the French steamer Phu Yen.
The former merely reported passing
the Russian ships at 11 o'clock in the
morning.
The Phu Yen's officers saw 20 vessels
coaling in the bay, and it is suspected
that the remainder of the fleet was in
side the harbor.
According to the Daily Mail's corre
spondent at Singapore, the Sui Sang,
which was not molested by the Rus
sians, sighted a big French warship
two hours later, 14 miles to the south
ward, evidently proceeding to Kam
ranh Bay.
The piecemeal character of the news
excludes the possibility of any accu
rate -estimate of the movements of
Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron,
but It would seem to show that the
Vice-Admiral has divided his forces, a
portion of which, went northward be
fore Saturday. "What has happened
since then it Is Impossible to say, and
there is no clear evidence even that
the Russians have been within the
three-mile limit, which would bring
them, according to international reg
ulations, into infringement of French
neutrality. The fact that they were
visible to passing ships would appear
to show that they were outside the
limit. . ' !
Japanese sentiment, however, is
greatly disturbed, The correspondent j
at Tokio of the Daily Telegraph says
he has no hesitation in declaring that.
should occasion arise and her prelim
inary protests be ignored, Japan will
regard any anchorage occupied by the
Russian fleet as its naval base and deal
with the situation accordingly. A dis
patch from Saigon states that a quan
tity of goods purchased there has been
delivered to a portion of the Russian
fleet off the coast of Indo-Chlna.
It is Impossible to locate Sampolac
Point, off which, according to the Ma
nila correspondent of the Daily Mall, 16
Japanese cruisers and other craft were
scouting on Tuesday morning; but the
Daily Mail thinks the Japanese fleet
was maneuvering to prevent the Rus
sians from entering the Pacific be
tween the Philippine Islands and Formosa.
NEUTRALITY IN PHILIPPINES

SPECIAL CABLE.
MANILA, April 19. Admiral Train, de
termined to maintain the neutrality of
the Philippine waters, will Immediately
dlspatdh additional vessels to patrol the
Basilan Straits, as a result of the re
ports that both Russian and Japanese
vessels have been sighted there. Satur
day the United States gunboat Qulros

which are reported to be lying in the
Gulf of Ungayen. A gunboat is also
scouting for Japanese vessels.
A report has reached here that 16 Jap
anese cruisers have been sighted off
Sampalok Point. The cruisers are said
to be scouting in force for stray scouts,
ships and colliers of the Russian fleet.

SPECIAL CABLE.
HAMBURG, April 19. It is reported
here that Admiral Rojestvensky has de
tached three of his fast auxiliaries, with
orders to harass Japanese shipping and
to raid the unprotected sea towns of
Japan. By this move he hopes to com
pel Admiral Togo to weaken his fleet
In order to protect Japanese shipping.

MANILA, April 18. Three war vessels

FRENCH TONE IS CONFIDENT
Belligerents Are Allowed Harborage
When Not Actively Engaged.
PARIS, April 18. (3:08 P. M.) The
French government has taken every pre
caution to secure the observance of neu
trality in French, waters In Indo-Chlna. To
this end. Instructions have been sent to
M. Beau. Governor-General of Indo-Chlna,
again calling the attention to the regula
tions concerning the observance of neu
trality Issued at the outset of the war.
These are Identical with the neutrality
rules in force during the Spanish-American
War.
It is believed Admiral De Jonquleres,
commander of the French naval forces
at Saigon, in proceeding to Kamranh Bay,
where part of the Russian second Pacific
squadron has been seen, is following the
Governor-General's instructions. The lat
ter: ffierq. pot fha xpult jol ine report
that Japan contemplated making repre
sentations on uie suoject,- as no such ac
tion has thus far been ordered, and France
has from the outset acted voluntarily in
seeking to maintain the neutrality of her
waters. This, however, is difficult at re
mote points.
Nevertheless, the instructions sent to
M. Beau contemplate the full observ
ance of neutrality. It Is probable that
mis Has been made known to the Rus
sian naval commander. However. It Is
Impossible for France to anticipate or
control tne movement of the .Russian
squadron, and she can only direct the
Governor-General to enforce the reg
ular rules of neutrality. The officials
nere nave not information concerning
the length or circumstances of the stay
or tne Russian vessels at Kamranh
Bay and, therefore, they are unable
to determine whether the shins are
actually within the territorial limits of
French waters.
But In any event a temporary stop
at such a point Is not considered equiv
alent to using the locality as a naval
base, but rather as being In "the na
ture of an exigency incident to the
voyage. Concerning the statement from
Tokio yesterday that the international
status of the waters of Kamranh Bay
might determine the question of Admiral
Togo's attacking the Russians there, the
official view prevails here that there are
no international obstacles to prevent the
Japanese adopting such tactics as their
naval situation requires.
The semi-official Temps this evening
publishes a statement which bears evi
dence of authority, saying:
"While international practice upon land
Is well defined, that upon the water Is
not so exact, differing with different na
tions. Great Britain and some other
countries limit duration of a belligerent's
stay in their ports to 24 hours, but France
has never fixed a limit for the stay of
belligerents In French ports and con
tents herself with Interdicting the use
of her ports In preparations for acts of
war. The Ministry of Marine instruction
Issued February 4, 1904, reads: 'The dur
ation of the stay of belligerents in French
ports when not accompanied by prizes
has not been limited by any special pro
vision. "Consequently a strict construction of
the regulations would permit Admiral
Rojestvensky's squadron to remain In our
ports longer than 24 hours, so long as
they do not engage In any act of war.
The Japanese do not seem to complain
of the stay of the Russian squadrons in
our ports, but of their stay In oqr terri
torial waters. Thus Tokio appears to
adopt the theory of interdiction to their
entry Into the territorial waters which
6he did not observe herself at Chemulpo
and Chefoo."
The Temps proceeds to show that ter
ritorial waters mean, under the French
law of March 2, 1SS8. three miles from
lowwater mark. "It Is established," con
tinues the Temps, "that Admiral Rojest
vensky did not enter this limit while off
Madagascar and nothing warrants the as
sumption that he had been less careful
In the waters of Indo-Chlna. Therefore,
tne Tokio dispatches go too far In de
claring that France permits RusBla to
employ her ports for offensive operations.
J. nere is no proof supporting any such
assertion of the violation of French neu
trality." The Temps adds:
The Japanese government, which has
not had any reason thus far to doubt our
desire scrupulously to fulfill our duty as
neutrals, will not fail now to show moder
ation In his claims. Similar controversies
arise In all wars and are not very ser
ious."
TALKS IN MODERATE TONE
Bnron Suyematsu Believes French
AVill Act Correctly.
LONDON, April 19. The diplomats and
others in London regard the alleged
breaches of neutrality by France in al
lowing the Russian second Pacific squad
ron to remain overtime on the Cochln-
Chlna coast as one of the most serious
developments In the situation.
Minister HayashI and Baron Suyematsu.
ex-Japanese Minister of the Interior,
were both seen by the- Associated Press
today, but they were disinclined to give a
hasty expression of opinion or to an
ticipate official advices giving the facts
as to the period the Russian ships may
stay in French waters. Minister HayashI
was particularly reticent, and said he
preferred to await confirmation of the re
ports which have appeared to indicate a
serious breach of neutrality.
Baron Suyematsu, who took a view that
was very far from being alarmist, said
that, if the reports were true, Japan
would have good cause to complain.
Japan, however, had no intention of
seeking a quarrel with France, and
added:
"Japan is far from coveting Cochin
China, as has been Imputed in some
quarters. I do not think that France is
encouraging the Russian squadron to
misuse French friendship. On the con
trary, I believe that France is really
anxious to avoid trouble on account of
the Pacific squadron. In fact. I think
responsible Frenchmen regard the squad
ron as an unwelcome guest,, and, there
fore, I am fully convinced that France
will manage the matter in such a way
as to avoid being compromised."
WILL USE HIS TORPEDO FLEET
Togo Will Not Risk His Big Vessels
Against the Russians.
LONDON, April IS. Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese Minister to Great Britain,
expressed the opinion to the Associated
Press today that Admiral Togo would
not give battle to Admiral Rojestven
sky with his entire squadron, but
would continue the cautious tactics
which has characterized his attacks
on the Port Arthur squadron, not be
cause iie feared defeat, but owing to
his - 'desire to inflict the greatest
amount of damage on the Russians
with the least possible loss to himself.
While confident of his ability to ac
complish the total destruction of the
Russian squadron in a big battle, there
is 'danger of Togo losing one or two
of his big ships. Therefore, Baron
HayashI believes, Togo will employ his
torpedoboat and torpedoboat-destroy-ers,
which number more than 100 and
are vastly superior to the Russian
torpedoboat flotilla In harassing the
Russians while gradually picking off
the Russian warships.
He said the coasts of Japan, Corea
and Formosa lend themselves to night
work with torpedoboats. while the nar
row channels will make the maneu
vering of large war ship's difficult and
dangerous.

TRIAL OF ASSASSSN
Kalieff, Slayer of Sergius, Is
Condemned to Die.
PRISONER GLORIES IN DEED
Says He Would Do It Over Again If
Ordered to Do So by the Revo

erning Him.
MOSCOW, April 18. Kalieff, the as
sassin of Grand Duke Sergius, was tried
here today. He was condemned to death.
The public was not admitted to the
trial. The prisoner refused to plead,
declaring he was not in the position of a
criminal before Judges, but was a prisoner
taken in a civil war.
The only persons present throughout
the trial were members of the entourage
of the late Grand Duke Sergius, and coun
sel, of whom two were assigned to Ka
lieff. The prisoner's mother was not ad
mitted, but remained in the corridor. Sen
ator Deler presided. Senator Shieheglo-
vltoff, Procurator-General of the Depart
ment of Cassation, was the Senate Prose
cutor. When Kalieff was arraigned he
replied:
"I am not a criminal, "and you are not
my Judges. I am a prisoner. "We have
a civil war; I am a prisoner of war.
not a criminal."
Twelve witnesses were examined.
Prior to passing sentence the president
asked Kalieff If he would repeat the
crime if he were given his liberty. He
replied:
"Without doubt I would repeat it if
ordered by the revolutionary committee to
which I am attached. When sentence of
death was passed Kalieff shouted:
"Execute your Judgment as openly as
I have acted before the eyes of all."

CAPTURE OF TERRORISTS.
Discredited Detective, Called Back,
Lands Them All.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 18.-Gradually
many Interesting details surrounding the
recent arrest of a band of about a dozen
terrorists are leaking out. The capture,
which is regarded by the authorities as
being of immense importance, was ac
complished by Kashovsky, the Russian
Lecoq, who was dismissed from the se
cret police several years ago, owing to
his connection with Philippe, the Spir
itualist, who created such a stir at court,
and who, too, went to Paris to live.
Governor-General Trepoff, on his ap
pointment as Governor-General of St.
Petersburg, induced Kashovsky to return
to St. Petersburg, and within two weeks
the detectives captured the entire band
which had been operating here under the
direction of the central organization,
which aparently had Its headquarters In
Switzerland. Alfred Henry McCulIough.
the man killed March 11 by the accidental
explosion of a bomb at the Hotel Bristol,
whose real name was Bauman, was one of
the chiefs of the Terrorists, having charge
of the manufacture of bombs, and Kalieff.
whd killed Grand Duke Sergius, also be
longed to the same group. After Bau
man's death Kalieff's duties devolved up
on Mile. Leontleff, daughter of General
Leontleff, who recently was Appointed
Governor of Yakutzk. Eastern Siberia.
Mile. Leontleff became a convert to Ter
rorism during her stay at Lucerne. Swit
zerland. Kalieff's identity was estab
lished through the discovery of a photo
graph belonging to Savlnkoff, who has
been his comrade woth at the university
and In exile. When Kalieff was charged
with his identity he admitted It, saying:
"Savlnkoff has been arrested."
The police later thought they had cap
tured Savlnkoff and so announced -publicly,
but it turns, out that the man held
under that name was another, and that
Savlnkoff, to whom Kalieff evidently had
confided his Intention of killing Grand
Duke Sergius, Is safe abroad.
Among the others captured was Mme.
Ivonovitska, a sister-in-law of Korolenko,
the Russian author. She was involved
in the Nihilist plot to assassinate Em
peror Alexander II, for which she was
sentenced to 15 years in Siberia, but at
the end of seven years she escaped to
America.
Perhaps the most romantic feature Is
the fact that Mile. Leontleff converted
two nieces of Governdr-General Trepoff,
Mile. Trepoff and Princess Denisheff, to
the doctrine of assassination, and that
after the arrest of her mentor. Mile. Tre
poff actually attempted "the life of her
uncle, firing two shots at him, both of
which missed.- Thereupon the two girls
became panic stricken and attempted sui
cide, Mile. Trepoff throwing herself un
der a train and Princess Denisheff shoot
ing herself. Neither of them succeeded
In. killing herself. The family has since
tried to make It appear that the girl's
acts were the result of a mutual pact for
self-destruction, both being In love with

PROOF PUT ON THE CAPTAIN
Drastic Fishing Bill Before New
foundland Legislature.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., April IS. The upper
house of the Colonial Legislature has
passed Premier Bond's bill excluding
American fishermen from Newfoundland
waters. The bill provides that American
Ashing vessels found within three rallies
of the coast of Newfoundland with bait,
supplies or outfit purchased at any port
in the Island shall be seized and forfeit
ed, together with their cargoes. The task
of proving that the supplies were not pur
chased In Newfoundland Is made to de
volve upon the captain of the vessel. The
bill was amended so as to permit the
suspension of Its operation at the discre
tion of the government.
The vote on the adoption of the meas
ure was 13 to 3. Some members advo
cated a permanent law to exclude all
Americans and the abandonment of all
reciprocity negotiations with the United
States. They argued In, support of that
plan that It would be more advantageous
to Newfoundland's fishing interests. The
Governor's assent to the bill is expected
before the end of the week, permitting
the enforcement of the new law.

May Fight Off Nagasaki.
PARIS. April 18. The Russian naval at
tache here, Captain Yepantchlne, In an
Interview, says he believes the strategic
situation will lead Admiral Togo to await
Admiral Rojestvensky off Nagasaki,
Japan, where Togo will have a base to re
pair his damaged ships. This the Captain
admits Is Important, owing to the Japan
ese not having repair vessels.
The Captain further says that Togo's
strength represents seven battleships,
against Rojestvensky's five. The gun
power of the squadrons,, he asserts. Is
practically the same Togo's heavy guns,
dismounted for use at the siege of Port
Arthur, have been replaced by new guns
of English and American make.
The Captain also declares that Rojest
vensky's lengthy voyage constitutes an
achievement without history.
