That 1t has never been the intention
Of the navy department 20 permit Rear

miral Schley not to direct any Of the
vessels Of his command TO proceed to
African waters without specific instruc-
tons from the department.
The state department does not de-
sire 10 have any American men-of-war
In South African waters at present be-
lieving that the circumstance might
be detrimental to American interests.
and the navy department therefore will
not allow any vessel TO proceed 10
South African waters unless the situa-
tlcn IN South Africa should change
materially.
The instructions 10 Rear Admiral
Scbley are very disappointing to his
