Referring; to the absolute secrecy of Admiral 'Pogo in regard to the disposi- tion of his forces.

SENSATION CREATED. The charge that the British admiral concentrated his ships at Wel-Hai-Wei expecting to receive an order to destroy the Russians in the event of Admiral Togo proving unequal to the task, has aroused a considerable sensation in dip- lomntle circles, all the more so as Ad- miral Rojesh'ensky's letter was publish - re! with the permission of the Minister of Marine, and no doubt is entertained That It will be the subject of diplomatic representations to Great Britain. REPUDIATED IN RUSSIA. A London despatch says: T'he St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says he has had a conversa- tion with Count Witte, in which the Premier slated that the Emperor and his Ministers alike were astonished at Admiral Rojestvensky's allegation that the iiritish admiral had concentrated hie ships at Wei -Hai -Wei, expecting an order to destroy the Russian fleet in the event of Admiral Togo being defeat- ed in the battle of the Sea of Japan. Ccunt \Vitle said he was taking measures to clear up the matter, but he added it was self-evident that no level-headed n.an in Russia would attach importance In the allegation which the Minister of Marine, ice said, had not noticed until it appeared in print. 110G PRODUCTS.
