She il in Need of Repairs-Ihe Cincinnati
to watch for Tilibusterer,.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. lo.-The
cruiser Cincinnati Will sail from Newport
without delay 10 relieve the cruiser At
lanta from the duty of watching for Gu
ban hllbusterors at Key West, and the
Atlanta viii return 10 New York i'm
mediately on being relieved.
a telegram has been received at the
Navy Department from Commander
Cromwell. OF the Atlanta, stating that
the connecting sheath bell.een the fur
naces and the tubes Of one'of her eight
boilers had broken. rendering the boiler
useless. but this accident had nothing to
do with the orders for her recall.
The Atlanta is undoubtedly I'm need Of
repairs. and she will probably be placed
ont Of commission at New York, and her
crew transferred 10 another vessel.
This cannot be stated definitely. as the
Navy Department officials say that the
cruiser Is now under the control Of Rear
Admiral Bunce. commanding the North
Atlantic station. who can DO with her as
he likes, and it is not improbable that
she may join the squadron OF evolution
NOW at Newport.
Nhy the Cincinnati went 10 Newport.
instead of going direct 10 New York
from Key West. Is something OF mys-
terry. 1t is understood that she sailed
from Now York this week. under scaled
orders. to join the Atlanta. but these
were evidently countcrmanded. and the
vessels future movements are placed with
I'm the discretion of Admiral Bunce. who
has apparently decided that the con-
dition of the Atlanta. and the necessity
of not keeping her officers and men too
long in the cucryatin1 summer climate Of
Key West. command her relief.
