NO TROUBLE ON THE CRUISER
TENNESSEE. ,..-

The following statement was given out by
the bureau Of navigation at the Navy De-
partment today in reference to the alleged
trouble on board the U. s. 8. Tennessee:
1.-THE bureau of navigation is convinced
that the reports originating In Norfolk OF
trouble on board the u. S. s. Tennessee
are entirely without foundation and that
nothing occurred on the trip with tie
President which at all warranted the pub
locations made. So far from the coaling at
Chiriqui lagoon being conducted under the
pointed rifles Of the marines, every marine
except the corporals Of the guard and SEN
tries on post, was in the coaling lighter,
and the men OF the Tennessee were SO anx-
ious to beat the Washington's crew at coal
ing that they continued work during one
Of the heaviest rain storms that had been
experienced at that point. On the forced
draft run on the way up the men begged for
opportunities to work in the fire rooms I'M
der the forced draft conditions. and the fact
that the satisfactory speed of the Tennes-
see was secured with ten out Of her sixteen
boilers Is a fair indication Of the character
Of the work In the fire ROOM Capt.
Couden, commanding the detached squad
ron; the commanding officer of the Ten
nessee. the executive officer OF the Tennes-
see and the pay officer OF the Tennessee
have all been Intercepted by the bureau.
Neither OF these officers knows of incidents
at all corresponding to those published or
of incidents which might give currency to
such statements. The pay officer states
that there was no complaint or cause for
complaint in the quality or quantity OF food
on the Tennessee. and the bureau of navf-
cation il confident that 1t Ii justified In
pronouncing the statements made as wholly
false and unjust to the officers and men of
the Tennessee"

cept that the law Office of the noted poet Is

rescue and the mansion remains intact.
