United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, April 17. It ia believed at Tokio that the Ruv sian fleet will give Formosa a wide berth. Tho Singapore correspondent of the "Daily Mail" reports that the Prins Heinrich passed five Russian battleships and six cruisers. Naval experts on Saturday anticipated that Admiral Rozhdesventsky, not desiring to be burdened with the protection of an unwieldy convoy when he meets Admiral Togo, would probably send his colliers to the Bay of Along or 6ome other shelter to await the result of the battle. Experts anticipate that Admiral Togo, at the outset, will use many cruisers for the purpose of torpedoing and ramming the enemy's fleet, and will risk the absolute sacrifice of some in order to re-establish the balance between his primary elements and the enemy's battleships. The onslaught is compared to a cavalry charge. PARIS, April 17. The St. Petersburg correspondent of "Le Matin" reports that there is great irritation amongst the general staff against Great Britain, Admiral Roshdestvensky complaining that warships are wirelessly informing the Japanese, at a distance of two hundred miles, of his whereabouts.
