German Comment On Voyage.

Berlin, December 16.-The naval expert of the Tageblatt has published an article in which he says the sending of the American fleet to the Pacific will be fol- lowed with keen interest in the admiral ties of Europe and that naval experts will draw the most valuable lessons from the solutions of the various problems be- fore the American warships Rojestven- sky's expedition Is alluded to by the writer as useful only in showing how not to do 1t. The most interesting part of the voyage to navigators will be the passage of the Straits of Magellan, if this route is chosen, for every seaman knows the difficulties of that passage even for a single ship.
 'It Is natural that the American navy department should draw a veil of deep secrecy over all the details of this voy- age, undertaken in full preparation for action," the naval expert writes. "The naval attaches at Washington will con- sequently take all the greater care to report all news from the ports of call regarding coaling, the speed of the ves- sells or damages to the ships or their machinery

Thousands Watch Fleet,

Norfolk, Va, December 16.-Between 5000 and 10000 people went from Norfolk, Portsmouth and the contiguous country south of Hampton Roads to witness the sailing of the Pacific bound Atlantic fleet. The great majority went by trolley to Cape Henry to see the line of battleships as they pasesd to sea beginning their long and notable voyage to the Pacinc, while others went to the Jamestown ex position grounds, Willoughby beach and Oceanview to see the fleet as it got under way in Hampton Roads and passeS through lower Chesapeake bay in review of the President aboard the Mayfower. Excellent views were had of the fleet at each of these points and the magnificent nautical scene presented as the 16 great battleships beneath the brilliant rays of the sun steamed away was one seldom witnessed even by residents of this sec ton, who have frequently seen the ar rival and departure of naval vessels
 At Cape Henry alone there were more than 5000 people who lined the water front as the ships passed by and at the point of the cape took their course to the south.
