RUSSIAN NEVS Si Pctcrsbuug Believes : ; Battle FonghL ; : r CELEBRATE THE EVENT Stated That Rojestvensky Has j Clear Sailing lor Vladivo stock Harbor. REPORTS ARE CONFLICTING Many Believe That If Battle la Not Pending One la Imminent in the Very Near Future, Which Will Prob ably B Decisive of the Present War. St Petersburg. May 27. The Rue- flan foreign office and admiralty are thus far entirely dependent upon the Associated Press dispatches from To- kio for news concerning the movement of the warshlpa in the Korean straits and up to midnight were in receipt of HOHE. -From Butte Inter Mountain. no telegrams from the Russian fleet. The Associated Press is able to an nounce that the Vladlvistok cruisers left that port and are now acting in general co-operation with Rojestvensky under plana prepared for the present emergency. Capt. Brousslkoff, well known In' the United States, commands the armour ed cruiser Gromobol. Rojestvensky's success in reaching the Korean straits, the gateway "to Vladivostok aroused something like genuine enthusiasm. The showy Russian capital is arrayed in gala attire and Illuminated In honor of the anniversary of the coronation of the emperor seemed a fete for the occasion. " ' ' ' " , ; For once St. Petersburg it not pesst- PRICE FIVE CENTS 2 mistlc. Everywhere rtporti are cur rent1 that " Rojestvensky - has defektei Togto and in the at recta the Rutelan admiral's1 name fa on every tip,' In the cafs and gardens h waa toasted ut tn hero of the hour. Tet In reaUty, St, Petersburg haa only ToWo ad vice, bat perhapa for once the Russian peo plv to easily av prey to despair, might be pardoned for this premature Jubila tion after an unbroken aeries of re verse suffered on land And sea, Tha authorities however, while elated over tlttLjoewa. indulged irt jRQ unwarranted rejoicing but Instead awaited almost breathless Tor future news, lights in ten admlraltle's office burned far into the night and the tact that no other dispatches arrived from Tokto, where alona tht aeeret of the real attautloa Is known, was considered reassuring. There It no longer any question that the Rusaiaji, war fleet under the com mand of Rojestvensky haa entered the straights of Korea on the final stage of its long Journey from the Baltic sea, whence it sailed In October last for lta subsUtpted destination, Vladivostok, Ita original objective point, Port Ar thur, having now fallen into the hand of the Japanese. Beyand the fact that the Russians were yesterday In the vicinity of the Tsu Islands, all la con Jecture. Apparently the only avenue of news transmission are held by the Japanese and the authorities In that country are exercising a rigerous cen sorship. - Paucity Information, which the censor permitted to paaa formed the basis for the belief in high quar. tera at St Petersburg that an en gagement had been fought and the Japanese bad! suffered defeat, the theory being that were the facts other wise tbey would have been Immediate ly given to the world. At all eventa the the course taken bjr Rojestvensky's fleet through the narrow walers eastward of Korea may be accepted aa evidence that he is bent in forcing a battle on Togo, or the alternative of beginning the bom bardment ct Japanese forts and ewep ing the Japanese merchant marine from those waters.

After a con test, lasting Ave days, tha republican "organization," led by Insurance Com missioner Israel W. Durham, waa to day forced, by public opposition ana clamor, to abandon efforta to extend the lease of the city gaa works to the United Gaa Improvement Company. Thomas Dolan, president of the com pany, today forwarded a formal inter to the president of the select and com mon branches of the city council, with drawing the proposition to advance the city J23.000.000 In consideration of the externum of the lease which the company now holds. The withdrawal of the United Gaa Improvement Com pany's offer is undoubtedly a signal vtctory for Mayor Weaver in his fight against the organlxation, although it does not mean the end of the fight ot the injunction proceedings brought by David Smyth, former director of pub lic safety, and Peter Costello, former director of public works to restrain the appointees from conducting the af faire of the two departments which is still to come up for argument and the leaders will make a determlnsd effort to have the temporary Injunction made permanent GOT THEM AGAIN, Usual Everyday Rumors Rtgirding Russian and Japantse Fleeta.
