Yosemite Park.

BERENDA, Cal, May 1s.-President Roose-
welt came out of Yosemite Park to-day
clipper and cheerful, as though he had
never confronted four days Of San Fran
cisco hospitality in his lie. He had three
perfectly iestful days, camping through
the Yosemite country with John Muir,
the gAllogist and naturalist, and Rangers
Lydig ana Gillespie of the Yosemite National
Reservation. No tents were used on the
camping expedition. Everybody just
rolled up in his blanket and let the night
winds blow over his face. Lydig and Gil
lespie carried very wicked-looking re-
peating rifles, but neither was discharged
during the trip.

Compliments to German Navy.
Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
BERLIN, May 1s.-The Tdoeblaa tonight
contains signed article by Count Won
Reventlow in reply to the stat ments made
by Rear Admiral Melville, Chief Engineer
of the United States Navy, before the En-
gineers' Club Of Philadelphia about two
weeks ago, to the effect that the battleships
Of the German Navy were the best in the
world.
Count Won Reventlow. whose criticisms
OF Admiral Dewey's remarks about German
warships some time ago attracted con-
siderable attention, says the assertion made
by Rear Admiral Melville that the German
warships are the best IN the world must
be taken cum grdno sails, for the reason
that he (Melville) can know no more about
German engines and boilers than the Ger
mans know about foreign engines and
boilers.
Count Won Reventlow expresses the
opinion. however, that in egard to con-
structon of ships the America MS are superior
to the Germans. The Americans, he be-
lieves, are also ahead in the matter Of arnor
and guns.
The tone o. the article is very ungracious
denying most of | ear Admiral Melville g
assertions and ejectng his commenda-
tons Of the German fighting ships. The
Count grants, however, that Re r Admiral
Melvi!le's complimentary references to
the German warships may be regarded as
satisfactory, as they show a desire to re-
pair the harm done by Admiral Dewey in
his interview. although it is quite clear
that the purpose Of the former in praisin
the German Navy was only to incite his
own countrynen to improve and increase
