Atlantic fleet, and who will it is eX-
pected be in command when the great
array of battleShips TO round Cape
Horn for an excursion into the waters
of the Pacific, spent some time at the
Brooklyn navy yard Friday. The ad-
miral came from Washington TO this
city recently and his occasional pres
ence at the navy yard has given weight
to the runlor that he was concerned
with the early preparation of his fleet
for the extended cruise planned.
To n representative of The Associated
Press whom he received aboard his
flagship, the Connecticut, Admiral
Evans explained that no rush orders
mad been received and only routine re-
pairs were under way.
There have been no orders to rush
repairs at the Brooklyn or other navy
yards" said the admiral. 1.-THE schedule
of repairs which l laid out several
months ago is still being followed.
There is such a shortage of docks we
are always pushed to accomplish our
work, bot there is especial rush at this
time" Concerning the trip to the Pa
ciiic he said:
Il have received no orders for a
cruise. What may be in contemplation
l of course 10 not know. 1t is my husi-
ness to do only whatever the govern
ment may require
Admiral Evans attaches no more
significance to the plans for a practice
cruise that will take his great fleet
around the Horn and over a voyage of
$4,000 miles than have other officers
that overlook the routine cruises of the
fleets. +.
