U. s. DOES NOT EXPECT VAR.
But the Navy Department Is Making Every
Preparation.
Navy is Getting in Good shape-That May
be Beneficial In Averting
War.

New York, Feb. ga special to the
World from Washington says:
Acting Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt, when asked concerning the
probability of war and the condition of
the navy in case of emergency, he
replied:
Il wish you would say to the World
that while We do not expect war. the
navy department is simply making
every preparation for 1t.
THE work of the navy is going on
as rapidly as we could wish To get into
an Ideal condition of defense and Of
Tense, will consume much time. and II
great deal of patient labor. During the
past ten days the labor of the depart
ment has been multiplied.
No news of great importance to the
public has ben received today from
Havana, and like every one else, we
are patiently waiting further develop
ments"
His words are susceptible of two in
terpretations, both consistent with Of
fetal reserve and caution. Working
night and day to prepare for war, the
secretary may regard as the surest
way to avert war.

SECRETARY LONGS SLEEP.
1t Refreshcs Him, and lie Tells of the Ma
val Movements.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. go
Secretary Long enjoyed sound
sleep last night, the first he has had
for some time. and he felt 30 much re-
freshed this morning that he decided to
abandon his proposed absence from the
navy department and continue at his
duties. So he was early at his desk
and In consultation with Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt and Captain
Cruwninshield of the navigation
bureau. As to the outlook he said he
thought things Were looking much bet
ter. He said the public ought not to
be under any misspprehension with re-
gard &c naval movements; that so far
they had mostly been the ordinary dis
positions which are made from time to
time; for instance, the shipping of
guns to New York Is to supply the
Chicago and other vessels which are
under reconstruction there, and they
would go in any event. The gun fac
tory at Washington is where they are
made, and they are sent to various
points as occasion requires So. too.
the call for more men, he said is
simply the revival of the recommended
ton in his annual report.
This statement by the secretary evil
IDENTIFY was made to allay the impress
sion caused by the reports of heavy
shipments OF guns from the Washing
ton navy yard and other warlike meas
ures. The movements of some OF the
warships, such as the Detroit and
Marblehead towards Key West. had al
ready been shown to have been In ac-

A number of newspaper men will
return to Key West today in antici-
patton of the transfer of the United
