BALTIMORE, Md. June 11.-When
the Hornet, the flagship of the naval
reserves, arrived here Saturday she had
aboard a Japanese chef who is said to
have been an adept in preparing pala-
able dishes. Yesterday before the
Hornet started out for the war game
the chef was observed to leave the
yessel-and thereby hangs a tale.
1t developed that the navy depart
nent has issued an order for the re-
moval of all foreigners from the fleet
during the maneuvers. This order was
directed especially against the Jap
anese, of whom there are quite a num-
ber in the ward and mess rooms of the
various American war ships. The or
der was the result of story, told by
Admiral Evans upon his return from
the Asiatic station.
Upon paying an official visit to the
Japanese battleship the admiral was
surprised to find in the commander a
clever little Jap who had been his SER
want when he was captain. This opened
the eyes of the navy department to the
methods used by the Japanese to learn
those secrets of art In naval warfare
which they have successfully used on
the Russians.

NEW YORK, June ia break in
the 4S-inch pressure water main In
Park avenue. near Forty-second street
today resulted in the flooding of the
block just below the Grand Central
station, the street car tunnel and the
subway, the stoppage of traffic in the
subway for many hours, serious dam
age to the underground road and great
danger to many passengers. The dam
age is estimated at 100000. Incidental
ly 1t resulted in the caving in of Park
avenue over an area of twenty feet,
from which ran cracks that meant dam
ger to adjacent buildings.
Water was first seen trickling be-
tween the paving blocks near the en-
trance to the Park avenue tunnel
through which the surface cars run.
Almost Immediately there came a
heavy explosion underground and a
moment later the water gushed forth In
a cataract, pouring into Forty-second
depth Of several inches.
The rising water in the subway soon
made connection between the third rail
and the outer rails. short circuiting the
electric current, which was attended
by a series of explosions that endan-
gered the lives of those who were in the
cars. The air was pungent with the
smoke of burning insulation and bright
flashes from wheels and rails were con-
tinuous. One train got to within a
block of station and then came to Il
final stop. The passengers got out and
waded through the water to the sta
tion. They avoided the third rail and
nobody was injured
Gradually the entire service south of
Seventy-second street and One Hun
dred and Second street was shut off
and later the entire service was discon-
tinued. Finally, after the flood had
continued for four and half hours
q foreman for a construction company
which had supervision Of the installa-
tion Of the mains in Park avenue,
pointed out a gate at Third avenue anl
Forty-second street, which on being
closed shut off the torrent. Traffic was
not resumed until after midnight.

LONDON is sKEPTIcAE
Journals Doubt Russia's Sincerity In
Negotiations
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
LONDON, June 12.-Some of the
London morning newspapers are still
skeptical Of the possibility of peace
resulting from President Roosevelt's
efforts. If negotiations should reach
the stage of an actual arrangement for
an armistice it will be felt that peace
is at last in sight because it is ar
gued that If Japan consents to sus-
pend Field Marshal Oyama's well de-
veloped plans for the coming battle
1t will be an indication that the Jap
anese government has good reason to
know that Russia is in earnest in her
desire to arrange for peace.
Other papers maintain that there
will be little chance of peace until
General Linevitch shall have been
driven across the Amur river and un-
til the Japanese shall have captured
Vladivostok. Therefore there is much
curiosity to see the exact terms of
Russia's reply to President Roosevelt,
especially since the publication Of the
reply Of Baron Komura, Japanese

toward the question of peace. There
were some demonstrations on the
streets of the capital late Saturday
evening and today students organized
q celebration, but a storm quickly
cleared the streets.
1t seemed to be the popular fear that
japan will sacrifice the advantage of
Togo's victory as well as Field Mar
shall Oyama's opportunity by consent
ing to an armistice now.
1t is felt that Togo's victory opens
the entire Russian Pacific coast to in

speedily taking Hardin, cutting the
railway and isolating vladivostok.
1t is also feared that the Russians
will take advantage of an armistice to
improve their positions and strengthen
their forces.
There is a general demand that
Japan carefully safeguard its interests
If an armistice is declared.
Sunday brought no important de-
