rbr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. |

Washington, May THE fact that no particular
attention has been given to the enlisted men
attached the United states and foreign naval vessels
In New-Yorx Harbor by the city authorities By
private persons in that city has created much unfa-
vorable comment in naval circles here. Almost daily
since the shore parade in Ncw-fork officers hero
have been expecting to hear that special con.
,lderaton would be shown the sailors and marines Of
the combined feet Several private letters have been
received by these officers saying that an effort would
be made by NEWCOMERS to show their appreciation Of
the services OF the men to make the review grand
occasion. but so far nothing has been heard OF any
substantial success in this direction.
Naval officers are OF opinion that such neglect Of
the men will not only occasion feelings OF great dis
appointment among the crews OF the United statea
vessels but will also unfavorsbc comment upon
American hospitality abroad. Several foreign officers
visiting the city have already referred TO surprising
lack OF appreciation OF the character and services OF
blue Jackets and marines OF this country. Naval
officers feel that "Jacky, contributed Very largely
to the success OF the naval review that TO him par
