the feet should contemplate a battle
ship squadron in the Atlantic and an
other battle ship squadron in the Pacific
That is the theoretical distribution, and
the theory was accepted long before
there was even a murmur Of trouble be-
tween the United States and Japan.
As the battle ship fleet has grown. the
idea has gained strength, but there are
not nearly enough ermorclads in the
naval service to carry out the contem-
plated plan. II is now apparent, IN view
Of what was said at Oyster Bay and the
Navy Department yesterday, that the
government has no intention Of transfer
ring its Atlantic fleet to the waters Of
the Pacific.
Plan an Old One.
This means that while a Pacific fleet
will ultimately become a certainty, the
plan for its formation will be carried
out along the conservative lines origi-
nally laid down. Many years must elapse
before there are enough battle ships TO
form the proposed Pacific division.
In 1905. when Rear Admiral George \.
Converse was chief Of the Bureau Of
Navigation, he advocated in his annual
report the amalgamatlon of the several
American squadrons into two fleets, one
in the Atlantic and the other in the Pa
cifc. This was in line with the then set
tied policy Of the Navy Department, or
iginated by Admiral Converse's prede-
cessor. the late Rear Admiral Henry c.
TAYLOR. 10 keep the vessels of the navy'
in large formations instead of having
them work as Individual units or in small
divisions
Newberry's Denial,
From that policy the idea Of having
two fleets only naturally developed, and
the desire 20 have a battle ship division
in the Pacific was the logical outcome of
the plans then formed and not of any
uneasiness over the relations between
Japan and this government Concerning
the rumOrs. Acting Secretary Newberry
said yesterday:
"All know Of these stories is what
have read in the newspapers. I have no
idea that there IS a word of truth in any
Of them. Since my return to Washington
yesterday I have made specific inquiry
whether during my brief absence from
the city there was any report from the
general board along the lines Of which
have been published.
Y find there has been none whatever,
and YOU are authorized TO say that as far
as am aware there is no foundation for
the reports to which YOU have referred. %

Jay Dewitt, lad who was hurt by

a very sick boy. It was not at first
understood how badly he was hurt,
and not very much is known about the
accident now. He was on horseback,
and the saddle turned with him and it
is supposed he was dragged, but not
very far, for the stirrup strap broke.
He had sundry bruises; but the real
trouble seems to come from a blow
over the temple, from which he was
suffering terribly. He is a bright boy,
who was delivering for Bells meat
market; and his mother Is a widow in
very poor health and dependent upon
her own and her sons labor for their

much sympathy since the situation has
come to be understood; and much has
been done by kindly disposed people to
provide for the needs of the boy.
