Squadron OF Evolution will Have Z
Review This Fail.

NEw YORK, July ga Washington
special to the Herald Gays: Now that the
squadron of evolution is en- route home
from Brazil, there is no longer any reason
to doubt that the much talked-of autumn
manTuvres between that squadron and the
vessels Of the home station will take place,
but they will necessarily be on limited
scale. Commodore Ramsey said yesterday
that it would be ridiculous for US to at.
tempt to initiate the grand reviews of for
eign navies with the small handful of YES
sells now at our disposal, but he considered
it good plan to bring the two squadrons
rons together for such exercises as the lin.
tied forces will admit.
lie believes that much good will come
from work Of this kind. even il on limited
scale. for it will gradually improve both
officers and men in the handling Of new YES
sells. These maDTuvres will doubtless take
place in the vicinity of Newport. The ves-
sells participating will be the Chicago, Bos-
ton, Atlanta. Dolphin, Petrel, yorktown,
Baltimore. Kearsarge, Gushing, Vesuvius.
the Despatch, the Yan,ic. and, if completed
in season, the Philadelphia. the Conc .rd
and the monitor Miantonomon. with the
crews of the jamestown and the Portsmouth,
IL vessels in all.
