 NEW YORK, Nov. lo.--The Brooklyn navy yard yesterday presented an ap- pearance of activity not witnessed since the exciting times of the rebel lior. The hum and din of busy work men on the war vessels Miantonomah and Atlantic disturbed the Sabbath stiffness as a body of 400 blue jackets marched across the yard to divine ser vice. Workmen have been busily en- gagged day and night for the last week in preparing the two vessels for speedy service at sea. Yesterday the work of preparation was continued, it being the first Sunday since the war that such thing mas happened. There were eighty men at work on the two vessels, and all expedition will be used until they are ready for service at sea.
 The navy-yard officials denied the rumored sinking of the United States war vessel Baltimore at Valrar also. It was said that the officers ana cro of the Baltimore exercised the same vigilance as in war times and the tor pedo nets about the vessel would save her from sudden attack. The unusual hustle and activity at the navy-yard was said not to be due to the reported sinking of the Baltimore, but 1t is con- ceded that the strained relations be- tween this country and Chile has caused the government much anxiety to get all it's war vessels ready for any possible coutippeucv
