SUMMER NAVAL EXERCISES.
Drills of Battleships of the North
Atlantic Squadron.


Maneuvers by tue North Atlantic Feet
are to he attempted again this summer, but
not on scale commensurate with The
! strength of the home squadron. The Usual
summer demand for warships at flower
shows and celebrations will require several
of the larger vessels for two months, while
the exercises OF the naval reserves will
call for four or five ships at various tines
The present plan OF the authorities is TO
make Hampton Roads the headquarters Of
the fleet, shifting it occas onally To New
York, in order that shore leave may be
given crews and change to cooler climate
permitted. 1t is possible that before the
fleet is assembled IL may be decided 10
retain one swift vessel, such as the New
York or Rrooklyn. at Hampton Roads and
let the other vessels of the fleet cruise
along the northern coast.
At present the fleet is divided, some Of
the vessels being at Hampton Roads aud
others at New York and in southern waters
around Florida. To get them together
seems now quite impossible, in view Of
the demand for shipsduring the nextmonth.
Admira! S;card hopes, however, to ex-
eTcse the ships in squadrons of five or eight
at a time, and In, dgjist, when the naval
militia exercises are bver, to gather his
Combined fleet ii Hampton Roads for
aseries Of operations. What the department
is specially anxious about is to secure the
cooperation in dzalls of the three first
class battleships and two second class
battleshiPs now in the service. In the
former class arethe Indiana, Massac husetts,
and Iowa, and in the latter the Maine and
Texas The Iowa is the more recent in
CoIumission and the most powerful of the
number.
Besides the battleships which VIII take
part in the drills, there will be the Brook
Ign, now our naval envoy at the jubilee
ceremonies; the New York and Marbehead,
the monitors Terror and Puritan and sew
eral ~ the smaller cruisers now around
the Florida coast. There has been some
discussion of the pTaCticabilty of the tor
pedo boats also taking part in the maneu-
Vers, but the authorities have finally de
cided 10 permit them To practice AS tor
padO boat flotilla Independent OF the other
ships OF the North Atlantic squadron
II is expected that within the next few
weeks Admiral sicard Will proceed 10
Washington to discuss the proposed pro-
gram To be followed this summer As far as
the authorities have decided the maneuyers
are t. he simply continuation of those con
Quoted by the fleet when under Admiral
Bunce. In ten days the cruiser Minnearo-
lis Will be home from European waters and
avoilable fOr service, but it is expected
now that she will be laid up alongside the !
Columbia in the fresh water basin League |
Island. The Brooklyn viii reach here by |
the middle of July, and is then TO become |
the flagship OF the home station.

Norfolk, Va, June 21-A report in cir
culation several months ago TO tie effect
that the great Philadelphia shipbuilding
firm of the Cramps were negotiating for
the purchase of waterfront property near
the mouth of the Western Branch, was
given credence at the time by many well
informed people, for it was known that
the shipbuilders looked upon the deer
water advantages OF this port with favor
able eyes, aud were not unlikely TO enter
the immediate territory of their rival
the Newport News ShipbGiIding and Dry
Dock Company.
Another rumoI is now in circulation here
20 the effect that the firm is negotiating for
the purchase of the Hardy estate In Berk-
ley, with view Of establishing mammoth
shipbuilding plant. The Hardy estate fronts
on the Eastern Branch, just west CT the
Norfolk and Western Railroad bridge, tie
family mansion now being occupied by the
Ryland Female Institute, the officers CT
which have been notified that occupancy
of the building can be guaranteed them only
for another year.
