At Chemulpo, the second-class cruiser _Boyarin_, and the destroyer _Grossovoi_. At Ma-san-po, the second-class cruiser _Rasboinik_. In Nimrod Bay, the second-class cruiser _Djijdjit_. At Newchwang, the gunboats _Otvazhni_ and _Sivutch_. At Nagasaki, the gunboat _Gilvak_. It will be seen from this list that Russia practically has the whole of her Pacific Squadron in and about the Yellow Sea. In addition to this force there is the squadron now _en suite_ for the Far East, which lately passed through Bizerta. This comprises the battleship _Oslyabya_, two second-class cruisers, _Aurora_ and _Dimitri Donskoi_, and eleven torpedo-boat destroyers. The added strength which Russia will receive when these reinforcements, under Admiral Virenius, reach her will give her a numerical superiority over Japan. The greater efficiency, and that higher degree of skill, which is so noticeable aboard the Japanese fleet, reduces this preponderance to a mean level. However, Russia is by no means to be caught napping, as the formation in Port Arthur of a reserve naval brigade tends to show. Meanwhile, however, the subjoined detailed list presents the principal vessels in the Russian Pacific Squadron. The officers commanding are: Vice-Admiral Stark, Rear-Admiral Prince Ukhtomski, Rear-Admiral Baron Shtakelberg, Admiral Virenius (to join).
