Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 1s.-From ad-

is thought probable that the flagship
Kearsarge will be ordered to Vene-

the officers were ashore Thursday
night, and what makes it appear that
instructions have been received to
hold the ship in readiness to move
quickly is that none of the sailors
have been granted shore leave. Tele-

Reissinger, of the navy yard, say that
if orders have been received, he has
no knowledge of it.
