BALTIC FLEET’S TRIP IS THE MOST
TREMENDOOS FEAT IN NAVAL HISTORY
Upon the Success of Its 17,000-Mile Journey Depends the
Control of the East—Euornous Difficulties It Has to
Face and Perils That Lie in in Wait For It, to Say
Nothing of the Battle It Goes to Seek.
By JAMES CREELMAN In Now York Her.ld.
Not even the Invincible Armada”
jrhlch Philip sent against England,
carried with It a more tragic Interest
than the fleet of battleships, cruiser*
and torpedo boat* which the cxar ha*
sent to the relief of hi* battered and
de*pairlng soldier* and Bailor* In the
far
It 1* sober truth to *ay that this al
most 17,000-mlle voyage of the Rus
sian Baltic fleet Is the most tremen
dous and difficult test ever under
taken In the history of naval warfare.
The . strategic relationship of this
slow-moving fighting force to the
present ghastly struggle between Rus
sia and Japan for the mastery of
eastern Asia ndd* a solemn impressive,
ness to its progress through seven
seas and oceans.
It la recognised that if the Baltic
fleet can reach Its destination before
the desperate Russian garrison of Port
Arthur is starved Into surrender or
conquered by assaults Russia will 1
probably save her great fortress and
win from her enemy the sea-command I
of Asia.
This Is the supreme moment In the
bloodiest of modern wars, and upon
Its success or failure the lives of hun
dreds of thousands of men and the
control of Manchuria and Corea will
depsnd.
If Port Arthur falls before the Rus
sian admiral and his ships can reach
the Yellow sea it Is practically cer
tain that the great Baltic fleet will go
to Vladivostok in the Rea of Jupun,
and from that bare Attempt to sweep
the waters clear of Japanese ships.
But to reach Port Arthur In time to
engage Admiral Togo's fleet In battle,
and thus let the Russian warships bot
tled up In the harbor come forth to
Join In a decisive sea light—that Is the
purpose toward which the 668 officers
and 8,816 sailors of tho Baltic fleet are
bending their minds and bodies, while
the world looks on and wonders what
1 the result will be.
Flsst Must Rsly on Itsslf Alone.
Seven battleships, five cruises, thir
ty torpedo boats and twelve transports,
colliers and supply ships—and a dis
tance of 16,800 miles to go, without
help or haven, to engage In 11 last
death-grapple for the supremacy of the
Far Eastern seas!
For nearly tlx months den. Stoessel
. and his heroic garrison have been shut
up In Port Arthur.
For nine months the Port Arthur
squadron has been kept In the harbor
by Admiral Togo's fleet.
Ammunition and food arc growing
acarce. Horses are being eaten. The
principal water supply has been cut off.
One-half of 4he garrison is reported
dead or In the hospitals. The Invest
ing lines of tho Japanese on land are
being drawn closer. Meveral qf tho
outer forts have fallen, and the Japa
nese artillery commands a part of th«*
town and harbor Dlaeaae steals from
the unburled dead to the living. Night
and day the beseinlng Japanese contin
ue their oltncks. The weak and worn
garrison has to expend Its strength
In fighting the constant conflagrations
caused by Japanese shells. Qen.
Rtoessel has said that he vgttl never
surrender, and has sent n solemn mes
sage of farewsll to the Cxar. declaring
that Port Arthur will be hfk grave.
Hundreds of miles away the armies of
Kurop itkln and Oyamn nre drenching
the hills and plains of Manchuria with
blood. More than 600,000 soldiers are
engaged In the struggle. In a single
bsAtle. lasting nine day*, at leaat 76.000
or 81.000 men were killed or wounded.
No such fore** have contended In arms
sine* Napoleon faced the armies of
four nations at lydpslo In 1818.

his way through the Japanese lines to

ganited under the command of the ltus-
► Ian veteran, Oeti. Grlffenberg. to help
Kuropatkln. The Japanese have qqll
r.i 600,000 more men under their flag
1 tut It will take many months for these
forces to reach the front. Meanwhile
the Russian and Japanese f
action seem to be so nearly balanced
In strength and In position that the
plan to save Port Arthur by land Is
mt likely to succeed.
Port Arthur's Prospect of Holding Out
The most reliable estimate is that
Gen. Stoessel and his men can hold
out for three months longer. Hut
every day increases the uncertainty
and the acene of suffering and death
wtthm the lines of the fortre*
twi
fleet reach the far east practically In
tact?
Russia naturally keeps secret the In
tended route of her ships, but as the
rules of the Sue* canal prohibit the
passage of vessels drawing more than
twenty-five feet and seven inches, tho
Russian battleships, which have a
mean draught of twenty-six feet, sre
compelled to give up the short route
and go around the Cape of Good Hope,
An ordinary battleship cannot go
through the canal unless her coal
hunkers are practically empty and her
stores low', without lightening—a te
dious and delaying operation which
the Russians would not bother with.
tif course, the Russians' could rend
their cruisers, destroyera and auxiliary
ships through the canal, hut American
naval officers are of the opinion that
It would be better policy to keep the
whole fleet together, us all of tho ships
would have to take on coal and pro
visions in the open sea, and the dnn-
ger from bad weather is no greater
one way than another. Another con
slderntlon is that If the smaller ships
should K<» through the canal It ia likely
that the Japanese would he waiting
for them off Aden, beyond the eastern
end of the Red sea. with a fleet strong
enough to destroy them.
The tremendous task undertaken by
the command of the Baltic fleet run
partially be understood by 11 glance
at the two routes to tho far east. Here

It is approximately 300 miles from
Port Arthur to Vladivostok, but the

Is practically tho same on account of

Tho Baltic fleet Is made up as fol
lows;
First-Class Battleships.
Knlux Houvaroff (Vice Admiral Ro-
Jestvensky's flagship), 13.516 tons, 16.-
000 horse-power; 1M knots speed; car

Inch, 11 6-Inch, 18 3-Inch, 10 1.8-Inch
and 17 1.4-Inch guns.
The first four are practically sister
ships, all launched within the lost
three years. Each carries six torpedo
tubes: each has a complement of 65
officers and 740 men. Their normal
coal capacity averages 1,250 tons,
which at a cruising speed of ten knots
gives i\ steaming radius of 8.500 miles.
The Oslabyn carries 60 officers and
776 men.

dius of 2.000 miles.
A Floating Factory With Them.
There are a great many torpedo-
boats. The Baltic fleet Is accompanied
by twelve or fifteen auxiliary ships,
carrying coal and other supplies. The
warships are accompanied by the big
repair-ship Kamchatka. This vessel
is fitted with metal-turning and elec
tro-technical machinery, Wagraln
smelting furnaces, a 3-ton American
hammer worked by compressed air,
boring and cutting instruments and
two steam cranes. Hhe Is a floating
factory, handled by skilled workmen
from the great private shipyards. The
fleet is also accompanied by a hospital
ship and by several armed transports.
There Is nothing In naval history to
compare to the voyage which lies be
fore the Baltic fleet. Ho prodigious are
the difficulties and perils which must
be faced that some months ago it
seriously argued by scientific men that
Russia would do better.to send her
ships through the Arctic ocean.
The coaling problem in itself Is stag
gering. Taking the most economical
speed, it is reasonable to assume that
the seven battleships will burn fifty
tons of coal a day, tho eight cruisers
forty tons each and the destroyers
eight tons, making a total dally con
sumption, exclusive of the' military
ships, of 725 tons, or 90.750 tons for the
whole trip. It la impossible to give
exact data, for tho reports show, for
Instance, that at a reduced speed the
Hlssol Veliki burns 100 tons n day,
while the Borodino, with twice the dis
placement. burns only thirty tons.
It is well known that Russia has
sent out loaded colliers to meet the
fleet at various points on the voyrige.
nut If international law is followed tho
Russians cannot even take on coal or
provisions from their own supply shlpa
neutral ports, but must go outside
the three-mile limit. Under Interna-
lonal law a warship of a belligerent
nation Is allowed to take on enough
coal at a neutral port to carry her to
here nearest home port. The Rus
sians might claim this right after they
reached Hlngapore, but they nre not
expected to do so, for the mission of
the fleet Is well know, and to grant
permission, even under the shadow of
technicality, would be a violation of
neutrality.
Speed at Best is 8low.
The fleet Is not ah otnogeneous one,
and Its speed necessarily Is the speed
of the slowest ships. They cannot af
ford to become separated. The slow-
st whips are the collier and supply
ships, which ennnst make more than
nine or ten miles an hour. Naval of
ficers say that tho fleet will bo doing
well to cover 225 miles a day, which
they consider a reasonable estimate.
That would mean seventy-five days to
cover the furthest distance. They al
low forty-five days more for coaling
and other delays. According to these
figures the fleet would reach Tort Ar
thur about March 1, which Is about
tho dale fixed by Admiral Wlrenlus, in
command at Port Arthur. Naval of
ficers do not believe that It possibly
can get there before that date, and It Is
likely to he a week or two later.
All along the way the hostility of tho
British will be felt. Her ships are on
every sen and her flag files over most
of the coaling ports.
The principal cause of delay will be
In coaling at sea with green crews. In
the American Navy a seasoned crew
has taken on 1.000 tons In a day, but
the Russians will be doing well If they
load 360 tons. Many accidents to the
machinery also are looked for. ns most
of the ships are untried, and In some
esses not even "shaken down," and
practically all of the engineers are
grsen.
The chief danger to the Russians lies
In treachery. A few Japanese spies
judiciously distributed among the col
liers could cripple the movements of
the fleet, and possibly block Its pro
gress by sinking some or all of the col
liers. They could also damage the
warships by distributing bombs In tho
coal.
The American Navy sent a torpedo-
boat flotilla to the Philippines Inst
winter. It left Norfolk on Dec. 12 nnd
reached Manila on April 14. The dis
tance covered was 14.492 miles, but
this trip cannot be compared with that
of the Baltic fleet, as the torpedo-
boats coaled ami took on provisions at
arts along the way. which the Rus
sians cannot do,

The department of agriculture, while
It Is testing foods, is at the same tlnle

Instance, the chemist begins his work
with the cultivation of the ground In
which the seed Is to be planted and
does not finish It until the tinted fab

digging of ore from the mine and fol
