■ The newspaper Novosti supposes the squadron was the victim of a fatal misunderstanding due to alarming rumours causing a panic. It does not doubt but •the Ministry of Marine will act in conformity with opinion m Europe and Britain lest the growing indignation should adversely affect the good relations between Britain and Russia.
Other Russian newspapers express regret, but the comments show that the censor' has withheld tho gravest facts. The Russian Admiralty's relations with Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, are strained as an outcome of the incident when the Smolensk and St. Petersburg were ordered to the Red Sea, Count Lamsdorff not having been consulted.
