The Washington Evening Star of Fri

torpedo boat flotl1a, nearly all the boats
of which were built by the Trigg yards of
this city:
Lieutenant Lloyd II. Chandler, the COM
mander of the torpedo boat fotlla at Nor
folk, was at the Navy Department yester-
day in connection with the participation
of the vessels under his command in the
great winter manoeuvres in the West
Indies. 1t had been suggested that it
would not be entirely safe for the tor
pedo boats to take part in the great man.
oeuvres, but Lieutenant Chandler eX-
presses confidence that his vessels can
participate safely. Upon the lieutenant's
recommendation, the Shubrick has been
placed out of commission and the Wilkes
substituted. His fleet now consists Of the
Decatur, Bagley, Barney, Wilkes, Biddle,
Thornton and Stockton.
The Shubrick, Decatur, Stockton, and
Thornton were all built here, and are
among the best vessels of their class in
the mosquito fleet. No reason is given
for placing the Shubrick out of COM
mission.
