BALTIMORE IN YOKOHAMA.

Movements of other ships of the
American Navy.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE most
interesting item of information that
came to the Navy Department today
was the reported arrival of the cruis-
ers San Francisco and New Orleans at
Halifax today. The arrival of the New
Orleans in this country is a source of
supreme satisfaction to Navy officials,
as she has aboard a number of Maxim
Nordenfeldt rapid-fire guns just pur-
chased in Europe and quantity of
ordnance stores. The guns were in
tended for the SeacOaSt Notifications
and are badly needed just at this time
So anxious were the officials that these
stores should be brought to this coun-
try early that it may be truly said that
they were more interested in the safe
arrival of the stores than Of the ship
herself
Word reached the department today
of the arrival of the first-class cruiser
Baltimore at Yokohama on her way to
Hongkong to join the Chinese squad
ron. The Baltimore has aboard a large
amount of ammunition and stores for
the Asiatic squadron, which she trans
shipped at Honolulu.
1t was stated there is no foundation
for the report that Secretary AIger
would ask the President to designate
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Schofeld, retired,
as military adviser to the President
and Secretary of War in case of HOSTILE
ties. General Schofeld's recent visits
to the President and the Secretary, he
said, were simply for the purposes of
consulting with him regarding the vol
unteer reserve movement.
