Washington. January 17.-The caDle
report to-day from Portsmouth, Eng
land. whence the British flying squadron
is about to sal. that its destination may

in any official quarter here, and the
report is taken with considerable al
lowance. No information on the sub
ieet has come TO the departments or to
the embassy. The British squadron al

Beagle and Retribution- These are
cruisers. some of them OF 1000 tons dis
placement. Should the Portsmouth re-
port prove true it would increase TINS
squadron to % ships, or 2S including
the SIX torpedo catchers.
Itis doubted that Great Britain would
send such a powerful, fleet into Amerl-
can waters at his time when their pres
ence in force sufficient TO over
come our North Atlantic squadron
almost certainly would be regarded as
hostile demonstration, certainly not
called for as long as diplomacy has not
vet exhausted its resources in the set
tlement of the differences between the
United States and Great Britain. The
Bermudas. lying between SIX and seven
hundred miles off our coast, would af-
ford an admirable base of operations
against any point from Cape Cod down
to Key West, and while the islands are
part of the British empire, the assem-
blage of a powerful fleet there could
not be regarded with Indifference by
the United States government, unless
its presence was explained satisfactor-
!ly.
