Then came tbe crulkera. colUera, bnttleablpa. etc. The coUlera awe mostly lu the canter of the fleet. The decks „f tbe warships were coal laden, while the colliers and the former Unera

were light of draft.

The moat Important fighting of the squadron. Including tbe battleships Kniam Souvaroff, Alexander II, Borodino and Orel, with their complement of cruisers, torpedo boat destroyer*. etc, were not with tbe fleet, and 'their whereabout It totally unknown. Naral experts consider that the fleet must forthwith proceed toward Vladivostok. aa any stoppage, even within territorial waters, would greatly *“ crease the danger of torpedo attacks. It la thought by some that Admiral Togo win not choose to give battle till

near the coast of Japan.

The fleet passed seven mile# out. preceded by twelve warship#, which probably were Admiral Toga’# sconta. Nothing Is known of Toga’a base, bat hi# foil fleet moat be some when- In tbe

He did not board the vessel, but was cheered hcattily on leaving the side of tbe ship. The consul gave to the fleet news of tbe fall of Mukden. The vessel* are burning soft coal, and a tremendous smoke was visible

ed. and nobody was permitted on board the 11 —ills No news was vooebsafed. The only launches allowed to approach the fleet were those of tbe RUaslan consul and of the Associated Press. Natl vea lined tbe sea front and

greatly excited.

Artillerymen and submarine miners were kept at their poets all day manning the guns and mines. As the fleet did not touch tbe harbor limits, no satntes were fired. Tbe squadron disappeared about B o’clock In the afternoon amid great clouds of smoke on the eastern horlxon. A Hongkong dispatch says: It Is reported here that two oMrtrifc hostile Japanese and Busalsn Certs bad a heavy engagement near glagapore yesterday and that Admiral Togo, the Japanese commander, lost five of his vessels."
