Baltic Fleet Dilemma and Russian Naval Farce
The report notes no confirmed recall of the Baltic Fleet but suggests a likely move before Admiral Rozestvensky reaches Valere. It outlines fortified Pescadores near Formosa, possible rendezvous at Shigon, and a drift toward Vladivostok or Madagascar ports, amid doubts over Russian naval cohesion against Admiral Togo. The piece also describes a brutal scene of Japanese victory over Russians at sea and land, with scenes of destruction and surrender. The text shifts to Russia’s interior minister, Prince Mirsky, described as a military-style civil servant, and ends with brief vignettes.
