FOREIGN NAVAL NOTES.

One of the mos, Interesting and important happen
ngs IN the foreign naval world in the summertime IS
the series of nanoeuvres held by the British Navy.
Great are the preparations for these manoeuvres
and striking the scenes while they are in progress
This summer there to be two fleets and 1t Is
thought that about one hundred vessels Will be In
cluded in them One of these two fleets Is to mobilize
with the Channel Squadron, and il is to include six
armored batte-shps of modern types. fourteen
cruisers and many gunboats and torpedo-boats. The
other fleet is include nine armored battle -ships,
eleven cruisers and number of gunboats and tor
pedo des troyers, the vessels being taken almost en-
tirely from the reserve. Each fleet is to he COM
manded by a vice-admiral and TO have rear-ad-
mral second in command, and each feet IL TO be
divided into two parts Drill in fleet tactics Is to be
undertaken at sea. and after several days spent in
this way the two fleets will become temporarily at
enmity with each other. While feet guards the
sea- the other is 10 occupy Milford Haven Then the
problem will be this latter feet get to in
the of the enemy, while the other hand. the
enemy tries to prevent this pleasant little ma
noeuvre and to effect the destruction of the Mil
ford Haven feet. Then there is TO be more drill at
teres and finally before dispersion, the two fleets
are come together In big assembling at Spiihead.
Experiments have been made with homng pigeons
in the British Navy but heretofore, seems, the eX
pense has been borne by individual officers. At last
however. 1t has been decided by the Admiralty that
in the future the Government and not the officers

that the Navy shall get possession of some highly
