This telegram to the Manita Cablenews (alias Cablefaher) need not be taken seriously: -Singapore, April 12.-At last the plan of the Russian fleet commander, Admiral Rojest- vensky, has been disclosed.

There the junction of the two divisions of the fleet in to ese squadron, take place if both manage to escape the Japan.
The main part of the fleet, under Admiral Bojestvensky, is now in the Hag of Mantok, which is in Banka island, a fow miles off the coast of Euraatra.
Bome of the ships are still in the Banks strait. Those vessels have come safely through the Strait of Malacca and through the tortuous course of the islands along the Sumatra coast.
