Strengthen Asiatic Fleet.

OF course there is no significance
in the withdrawal of three of the ves-
sells composing the European squad
ron, the Albany, the Cincinnati and the
Raleigh, and their assignment to the
Asiatic fleet, according to officials in
the state and navy departments.
There is never any significance in the
Strengthening Of any feet in Asiatic
Or European waters II the powers d.
recting this Strengthening Of our
squadrons in foreign waters are to be
believed, but the fact remains that the
biggest squadron ever assembled off
the coast of China is already an &C.
complished fact.
The assignment of the three cruisers
above named is taken to mean that
the European squadron will not go to
Kiel to attend the maneuyers of the
German navy. In fact 1t is stated at
the navy department that no orders
have been issued for the European
squadron to assemble at Kiel, and &C.
