Captain Barker. of the oregon. the senior
and commanding officer of the little feet
of battleshps and supply vessels now at
Callao. 10 remain at that port until Janu-
ary 10. next. 1t appears that the vessels
never had orders TO proceed either to Ma

pose of the navy department. when they

their destination 1t was not possible. how
ever. to order them TO the place without
being guilty of a breach of the spiri. Of
the agreement between the United States
and Spain providing for the suspension of
hostilities. Therefore, it was understood
that the ships We're to go to Honolulu,
there to receive orders which would carry
them TO Manila.
But the orders were actually sent to Cap
tain Parker by cable. at the ports in South
America where he touched, leaving it open
to the navy department to make any
change in the original plan that might be
deemed advisable. 1t is probable that the
occasion for such change has now ar
rived, for it is believed that there is not
now the same necessity for the presence
