Tolzio, 18th August.
Admiral Kamimura, being interviewed at the Journalists' Club, Saseho, said that when he was on his way back from a reconnoitring cruise, he found the Vladivostock squadron ahead of him to the southward, at 5 o'clock in the morning of the 14th inst, in fine weather, They had probably passed close to him in the night, Had he discovered them an hour later, the enemy might have passed the straits, The Japanese, flooded by the sunshine, from the north-east, intercepted the enemy then turning north.
