Hearing Formosa

(Bccoived 'I his Day 11,05 a.m.) \ London, May 22 The limes' Paris correspondent learns from a Russian source that Ror.hdestvensky has ordered his colliers and three ammunition ships to rendezvous at an island in the Balingtang Channol, north, of Luzon, the largest of the Phillipir.e Islands, Malay Archipelago, and await Iho fleet's arrival somewhere on the coast of Luzon.

The American fleet at Manilla is wholly inadequate except to make a demonstration.

Contradictory reports from other sources indicate that. Ilin Baltic Fleet has passed through the Bashi Channel, between the Phillipines aud Formosa. Others state that the fleet is off Hainan, near Cochin China, waiting for the return of the auxiliary cruisers sent to collect and convoy the colliers.
