London, Jan. 12. The Port Louis, Madagascar, correspondent of the Daily Mail wires that the commander of the second division of the Baltic fleet has informed the commander of the steam ship Orus that he expected the fleet would be attacked by the Japanese in the Indian ocean. He accordingly applied to the captain for a map of the harbor of Diego Suarez, so as to have a port to which he might steam if a haven became necessary. A telegram received in London today from the island of Mauritius states that the Russian Baltic fleet, according to the last reports received there, is still off the island of St. Marie, which is sep arated from the island of Madagascar by a small, smooth body of water. This water affords an excellent place of an chorage for the vessels, as this is a hav en of protection from the cyclones which are constantly sweeping the In dian ocean at this time of the year. This harbor, it is further stated, is not within the French zone, and hence the presence of the vessels will subject the French colonial authorities to no inconvenience from a possible breach of neutrality laws. The message goes on to state tbat the fleet will hardly attempt to move from tbe present place of an chorage for some time at least. Just now the Indian ocean is a place of dan ger from frequent and terrific cyclones and it would be little short of foolbardi ness for the Russian vessels to attempt to weather such a storm.
