Declared That British Fleet Was heady
to Crush His Squadron.
A St. Petersburg despatch says: \kith
ollacial permission, the Novoe Vremyu
publielied on Wednesday a tetter from
Admiral ltojcstvensky, averring that the
Rrilish fleet was concentrated at \\'ei-
Ilai-\Vei during the battle of the Sea of
Japan in readiness to annihilate the
Russian Ileet, in case the Japanese fleet
had proved unable to defeat It.
Air. Spring -Rice, the British -Charge
d'Affaires, without waiting for instruc-
tions frorn his government, demanded
an explanation from Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff of the statement contained 'n
toe Admiral's letter.
Referring; to the absolute secrecy of
Admiral 'Pogo in regard to the disposi-
tion of his forces. Rojestvensky declares
"this was unknown even to the Admir-
nl of the British fleet allied with the
Japanese. who concentrated his forces
at Wei -Hai -Wel in expectation of re-
ceiving an order to nnnihitate the Rus-
sian gleet if Iltis, the final object of
Great Britain, was beyond the power of
the Japanese."
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.

A RECENT SEA MYSTERY
furnished a very curious coincidence.
Two American schooners, the Charles
E. Wilbur and the Quinelearg, left Sa-
vannah and Darien respectively fou New
York; and practically from the day, uI/
sailing nothing has been since seen of
either vessel. Both bouts were built ot
the same time, by the same firm, ret
Providence; they were of identicgt" izn
and build, each carried the sante ergo
to the same port on her maiden voyage,
and each vnnis!tevl at the same time
equally mysteriously.
But as n trample of eulnddetices It
would he difilcult to match the follow-
ing experience told by a Birmingham
lady. A year ago she was crossing the
Menai Skeels when she lost her watch,
but was compensated by picking up a
valuable gold bracelet which Fomebody
else had lost. Some time later, at Chel-
tenham, a lady saw the bracelet, and
remarked that It was exactly like one
she hail lost, and produced a watch
which she had found at the seine time.
An exchange was made, and thus Iwo
ladies became possessed again of their
own properly. --London Tit•I$ils.
