ALL A HOAX.
Nothing in Rumor Of Germans Sound
ina in Havana Har5or.


New York Feb. 1.-The Hamburg
American line steamer Moltkc arrived
today, after n tourist excursion to the
West Indies of twenty-five days. The
Moltke hal fine weather throughout
the trip. She brought back 243 of the
excursionists. quite a number re-
naming over ut Havana for a more ex-
tended trip.
The report that several German army
ANA naval officers among the tourists
had taken extensive Soundings in Ha-
vana harhor was treated as absurd by
passengers and officers. 1t is true
that German officers were among the
tourists, but every excursion trip of
this line finds such officers taking a
holiday. II is customary for tourists to
use fishing lines and cameras when at
anchor. this custom probably causing
the report.
