DEPRECAlB WAR TALK
Secretary Mstealf Says warlike A.
pect Given to Battleship Cruise
to Pacific Not Justified.
NOT An ATTEMPT TO ovERAwE JAPANESE
Mr.. Metoaf irrltsted by the Cen
slant Mlslnterpretatlon Of the Or
der by the Newspapers-War'
ships Are Not to Remain In the
Pacific Permanently.

Oakland. Cal. July s.-Secretary
Of the Navy Metcalf deprecates the
warlike aspect that has been given
the order for the cruise OF the great
battlesh!p squadron from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast. The secretary
said that the proposed movement was
that OF a practice cruise and that the
fleet would not be kept In the Pacl'
fic permanently. He declared that
the length Of time that the fleet
would remain on the western side
OF the continent had not yet been de-
cided.
With considerable emphasis the
secretary voiced his opinion that the
warlike Interpretation that had been
made In connection with the fleets
movement was not Justified by the
facts. In fact, the widely published
reports suggesting hostile prepare
lions, seems to be q source OF irrita'
ton for the head OF the navy. He
said:
THE fleet which will be moved
from the Atlantic to the Pacific this
winter is coming to this side merely
on a practice cruise. The fleet Will
consist OF 16 or more vessels, not
more than 20, and Its stay on this
side will not be permanent. or course
the fleet will not come here, turn
around and go right back again. How
long Il will remain In the Pacific will
be determined at the proper time.
There Is no sound reason or ex-
cuse for all this talk by the public
and through the press OF an attempt
to overawe the Japanese by war
like naval display. ! do not believe
that the newspapers are Justified or
right In so constituting and coloring
the cruise Of the warships to the Pa
cific.
Every year the Atlantic fleet has
been sent on a cruise. Last year 1t
was sent to Guantanamo. This year
It will be ordered to the Pacific. The
long cruise will give the men and the
vessels q thorough test and improve
the efficiency Of both"

and roomy and can, with a little ex-
pense in fitting up, be used as a hos

evening to take the next steps necessary
towards making a beginning.
This property is sometimes referred
to as the Spaulding house, as it was
eFcted by Jacob Spanlding, principal Of
the old Barre academy, about 1853, and
occupied by him as home until his
death. William A. Perry bought it OF
the Spaulding estate and it has been

He Is Rhode Islander and Not 4
vermonter,

Burlington, March 25.-Cieorge w. Sa.
bre il declared by the United States
court To be q citizen Of Rhode Island,
and inferentially entitled by residence
to bring the action he has against the
United Traction and Electric company,
according to decision handed down bg
Judge Brown.
The opinion is on the plea Of the de-
fendant corporation to jurisdiction. the
claim having been set up by the defend
ant that The complainant was not citi-
zen of Rhode Island, because he lived
for a part Of the year in Vermont.
The court says II is not improbable
that the plaintiff should have decided to
abandon his citizenship in Vermont and
resume his former citizenship in Rhode
Island The fact that he has house
and farm in Vermont and intends to
pass Of bis time there is declared to be
not inconsistent with his bona fae in.
teHtion to become citizen of Rhode
Island. The court finds that be was
citizen of Rhode island at the time the
bill was fled, and accordingly oyerrules
the plea.

THIEF LEFT CENT
IN MONEY DRAWER
Office Of Martin w. wheelock in Mont
pelier Entered Last Night and
Small Swag Taken.

Montpelier, March 25.-The thief
who broke in the office OF Martin w.
Wheelock, real estate agent, sometime
last night, had good deal Of trouble
for the money be got out of it. The
swag amounted to about two dollars
in small change. The thief left one
cent in the money drawer.
The break was discovered this morn
ing by NJ. 4. Chase, clerk in the Of
flee, when he went to open up this
morning. The burglar had got into the
Office by cutting a hole through the
panel of the door and then thrustinQ
his arm through and turning the spring
lock. a heavy knife was probably used
in cutting the hole in the door. There
was quantity of splinters about the
floor, showing that the burglar had
done considerable hacking before he got
in. There were evidences also that he
had tried to get in BY two other doors,
as they were jimmied. The break occurred
sometime between nine o'clock last
night and this morning
On getting i side the burglar seemed
t3 have no trouble in finding what
money there was, and it is thought that
he was some one acquainted with the
inside. He went to both Mr.. Wheelocks
drawer and that OF the Orange County
Telephone company, and the sum total
is not over two dollars. There was
ten-eent piece folded IN a slip of paper
Sunday night, and the thief took out
the money and folded the paper again.
The safe door was not locked and it Is
not thought that there was any dis-
turbance Of the contents Of that. II
there was, nothing was secured as there
was nothing in it but some papers
which would not be valuable to anyone
but Mr.. Wheelock.
