NO WAR PREPARATIONS.

With reference to the statement as
made in the New York journal re-
Gently that naval preparations for a
war are being made by the depart
ment, and that the United States
Naval War College has worked out a
plan of naval warfare with Spain, Act
ing Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt
said in response to an inquiry from
the Washington Star:
There is absolutely no truth in
the statement. Nothing of the sort is
going on. The publication is merely
a piece of yellow journalism. The Ma
val War College has not worked out
any problem of warfare with any ma
ton, except England. | believe that
about two years ago it did work out
such a problem with respect to Eng
land, the Venezuelan question then
being up"
The working out of problems of ma,
val warfare at the Naval War College
is merely a matter of training, like
the working out of any problem IN
mathematics, or the drawing up OF q
brief for IA moot court.

We have received ex Routen-

cause English packets do not

The length OF her visit TO Wash

quiry on the part of the newspaper
correspondents here, but OF that
nothing can be said; from the fact
that by reason OF bad weather and a
slight indisposilion she has yet been
unable to visit any Of the public
buildings to which she has been in

stay will be for week or two more,
but whether it will be protrac,ed

Greece is unknown here and few
people know who King George is.
In 1868, a revolution took place in
Athens, the historical capital Of
Greece. Otto of Bavaria, the King,
was deposed and exiled. King Otto
made two great mistakes. He select
ed his counsellors upon his accession
to the Greek throne, from among
his country men and be showed his
German preferences against the
prominent men of Greece, until he
was fred out. The Greeks realized
that a monarchical form OF govern
ment was the most suitable to their
country and their leaders looked
around for another King.
