Some surprise has been occasioned by `ths selection of the protac.ed cruiser Diadems to carry the flag of Sir Gerard Noel, commanding the Eastern Fleet and the China-Squadro, fu preferance to the more powerful armoured cruisar Sutlej on the China Station. Although a fine looking and well-arred cruiser, the Sutlej has never been a wonder for speed, and a slow flagship is not at all desirable. There is reason to believe that both the Sutlej and the Hogue will be sent homs, and their places taken by faster protected first-clase-ernisers
