MORE SHIPS TO APIA.
THE WRECKED AMERICAN FLEET TO BB
REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
Secretary Tracy lnstrucs the Survivors 10 Come TO
San Francisco-The Alert in Excellent OOndi-
don-Adams Soon to be Rsady-E1-
preston from the English Navy.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Secretary
Of the Navy has cabled to Auckland that
the men OF the wrecked naval vessels who
are sent home are to come to San Fran
cisco.
No decision has ye! been reached at the
Navy Department in regard to sending
vessels to take the place of the ships lost at
Apia. Secretary Tracy says that the mat
is one which offers serious difficulties The
vessels now at Panama and other stations,
which might otherwise be available. can
not well be spared from their present posts
of duty. The Pensacola, which is under-
going repairs at the Norfolk Navy Yard,
can be made ready for sea in about four
months, and like period will be required
to complete the repairs and fit for sea the
Adams and Iroquois, now at the Mare
Island Navy Yard.
Secretary Tracy has received replies to
two kilograms sent by him to the com
manders of the Alert, the Adams and the
Richmond to ascertain how soon these yes
sells can be ready for sea service, in order
that they may be sent to Samoa. The
Alert is in excellent cOndition and can
leave Honolulu, where she is now sta
toned, at once She has been ordered to
do this and will reach Apia in about thirty
days The Richmond is attached to the
South Atlantic Squadron and is now at
the mouth OF the La Platte river. She is
in good ssiling order and will probably be
at Apia shortly after the Alert arrives.
Commodore Ramsey, commandsnt of
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, telegraphe TO the
Navy Department to-day that the Yantic
can be gotten ready for sea by the 10th ill.,
stant.
The detail for The Adams was almost
completed this afternoon. She will be
under the direction OF Commander f. T.
WOODWARD. There will be no rev orders
in regard to Samoan affairs given to the
commanders of the vessels Admiral Kim
berly will remain AZ Apia and will con
tinue in command OF the squadron. He
had instructions issued TO him before his
departure and the situation has not
changed since then.
The Admiral has considerable discretion
vested in him and may to considerable
extent extent exercise his own Judgment
in regard to what shall be done. Should
anything occur to render new Instructions
advisable they can be prepared and sent
to Samoa long before the war vessels get
there.
The thing now needed there ia ships, not
instructions. Il is not probable that the
Samoan conference will have met and set
tied the ENHANCEMENT between the United
States ard Germany before our vessels
reach Samoa and any new orders sent to
Admiral Kimberly will doubtless largely
be governed by the proceedings OF the con-
ference
While the vessels ordered TO SAMOA to-
day are fair vefsels of their kind, yet they
are by no meaDG equal to the three vessels
which were wrecked, and are of antique
type compared with the vessels Of the
German East African feet, which have
een ordered to Apia. The old Richmond
is by far the largeet OF the vessels tfat will
20 down.
