ENGLAND WANTS OUR SQUADRON
Pressing Invitation to Have II visit English
Waters.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-By direction Of
the President, the Secretary Of State has
| accepted an invitation from the British
Government to send the American squadron
on the European station on a gala visit to
England this summer. Chilling reticence
met inquiries about the invitation at the
State and Navy Departments to-day. For
some reason the officers of these Depart
ments objected to furnishing any infor-
nation. or even to discussing the subject,
and would not admit officially that the Euro
pean squadron would 60 to English waters
Ever since the German Emperor asked
President Roosevelt to send squadron OF
American warships to the regatta at Kiel
the Engli h Government has been seeking
the consent OF the President to have the
same squadron attend some celebration In
Engl h waters, either the review OF the
British fleet at Spithead or the yachting re-
gatta at Cowes. The earnestness Of Great
Britain on this subject has caused some
amusement here. where the idea has OBJ
tanned that the British Government would
feel very much chagrined If an American
squadron visited Germany and participated
in a national festival and failed to visit
England on a similar mission. That Great

siderable political importance was the
impression created
1t became evident to officials in Wash
ington that the English Government feared
that an acceptance by the United States
Of Emperor Williams invitation to send
warships to Kiel would create the impress
sion among the nations Of the world that
Germany was on terms OF closer friend
ship with this country than England,
and thus dispel the idea that there was
sort of informal friendly understanding
between the two great English-speaking
Powers. At any rate. the invitation to the
European squadron to visit England was
so cordially extended and so frequently
mentioned that after the decision of the
President to lot American warships attend
the kiel festivities it would have seemed
chursh to have declined the friendly adj
vances from London
1t is understood that Spithead will be
the point visited by the American squad
ron, probably when the English home
fleet Is reviewed there. The European
squadron Is now at Southampton, England,
but its visit there was not by invitation,
but merely for the purpose of taking coal
preparatory to the trip to Kiel where
it will remain for the whole Of the regatta
week June % to June 80.

to serve. Then the Magistrate fined both
fighters 50 each.
The Sires said last night that they did
not know anything about the row. Kelly
