JUT KLIOTMO TILEOBAri. — OOriUIOHT.] ♦ THE DOGGER BANK ENQUIRY ♦ COMMENTS ON THE COMMISSION'S REPORTS. A BRITISII VICTORY. [riIEBS ASSOCIATION.] (liecoived February 28, 7.35 a.m.) LONDON, 27th February. Commenting on the International Commission's report on tho Dogger Bank outrage tho London press, generally speaking, considers the findings substantially a British victory. Tho Times, while expressing satisfaction that Britain is victorious on tho principal issues, presumes, despite the perplexing remarks of the Commission, that tho Rusßian Government will severely censure or otherwiso punish Admiral Rozhdestvcusky. Tho Dnily Express says tho report is an oquilibristio performance — political not judicial. Tho Morning Post considers no ono desires to further accentuate the censure of Admiral Rozhdestvonsky. Tho Telegraph believes thai the palliations strengthen, bub do not diminish, the significance of tho finding. Tho Chroniclo is of opinion that England is victorious on the facts, and Russia on tho conclusions. Tho Standard thinks tho Commission has treated Russia with marked tonderness, and that it is unlikely that any one will bo punishod. The award, adds the Standard, is diplomatically designed to end tho business quietly, and with a minimum of unpleasantness. Tho D«aily News thinks compensation must follow tho finding. Tho precedent, adds tho journal, is certain to influenco the world's history. Tho Daily Mnil considers the tone of the report has tho full effect of condemnation of Russia. Tho Japanosc press ridicules the finding as a conclusion without a promise, and as calculated to discredit International Courts. Tho Russian press amplifies tho compliments and minimises the Commission^ censures. Tho public, it is assorted, is disappointed. The Amorican press is sarcastic at the determination to whitewash Russia. Rear-Admiral Daris, tho United States Commissioner, considers tho report practically sustains all tho JSnglwh cam. Tho French nowspapor Le Tumps regards tho report as wholly opportunist, and perltaps fictitious. The Rcpubliquo Francaiso says England practkaily wins. Roan-Admiral Davis supported Admiral Sir Lewis Beaumont, tho British Commissioner, throughout the hearing. Admiral Fonrnlor, tho French Commissioner and President of tho Enquiry, adopted a conciliatory attitude. FOELKERSAM'S PRECAUTIONS. PARIS, 27th February.
