tee, to meet in Nashville on Tues

~. Both the Prussianh and
French commanders refuse to al
low American officers to follow
their armies and make observa
tions, while the American and
other foreign war vessels have
been ordered out of the Baltic
Sea. Yet General Sheridan has
been sent by President Grant to
"observe" events at the theatre of
war, and Admiral Porter has de-
cided to 60 to the Baltic in grand
maratime state. Of course the
American people have to pay heav-
lily for all this display OF "snob-
