Russian Far Eastern fleet mystery deepens in terse dispatch
May 20 report analyzes the possible movements of Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet as it disappears from sight near 13.30 N 111.30 E south of Hainan. Some believe a battle imminent, others that the fleet has split to reach Vladivostok. Japanese tactics draw sharp criticism for not harassing Russian transports while supplies were taken aboard. Dispatches from Manchuria claim battles near Yandi pass Shahotse and Honukhu, with Russian left flank under pressure and Japanese feints to mask a possible right-flank stroke.
