Russia’s Volunteer Fleet. London, March 25.—-The Daily Mail publishes a dispatch from Braila, Rou- mania, which says that the Russian volunteer fleet has been ordered to con— centrate itself in the ports of the Black sea. nearest Constantinople and to hold itself in readiness to sail. The Russian army corps, which has been stationed in the province of Bessarabia, is now moving toward Odessa. A dispatch to The Daily Chronicle from Khania says that the proclamation of blockade consists of seven articles. The first provides that no neutral Vessel nor any vessel belonging to one of the six powers shall be allowed to land stores except at ports occupied by the powe1s. The second provides that no armed person and no person of G1eek nationality, armed or unarmed, shall be allowed to land without the authority of the senior naval officer at the station. The remaining articles fix the blockade limits and state the conditions under which vessels are .to be searched. By the terms of the sixth article Greek ships found within the blockade limits will be treated as hostile vessels. By the seventh any Greek torpedo boats observed within the limits of the ‘block- ade will be fired upon as soon as they come within range of the international fleet. The proclamation makes no allusion to exports, but as two British ships which have been loading at Khania. have been forbidden to leave the pre- sumption is that they also are debarred . by the conditions of the blockade. The shippers controlling these vessels have ' lodged a formal protest against the prohibition as unjust and arbitrary. England'Is Sanguine.
