RETURN OF THE MACHIAS
AS Usual. 1t is Denied That Any
Movement Means Anything.

Washington, March ALI naval move
ments. no matter how Insignificant, are
now watched with unusual interest in
view of their possible connection with the
plans of the government for the national
defense in the event OF an outbreak OF
hostilities. Consequently the arrival Of
the gunboat Machias at Norfolk this
morning gave rise to all sorts of specula-
ton. AS a matter of fact, this vessel,
which has just concluded three years
cruise, on the Asiatic station, was ordered
home about two months ago. long before
the present situation had reached any
thing like an acute stage. She made the
voyage in leisurely manner by way OF
the Suez canal and the Mediterranean sea
and made an uninterrupted run from
Unchal Madeira Islands. TO Hampton
Roads, consuming about seventeen days
on the rtip. She is said TO be in need
OF a thorough overhauling. and undoubt-
edIy will be locked for that purpose. In
case shs should be needed. however. IL
would not take very long to put her in
condition FOR active service. Inasmuch
as there is TO apparent necessity for rein
forcing the already formidable feet in
-he vicinity Of Key West, tt Is more than
likely that the Machlas viIl remain where
