NO Orders FOR FLEET
SAYS ADMIRAL EVANS

New York, July 6.-Rear Admiral
Robley d. Evans, commander in chief
of the Atlantic feet, and who will,
it is expected. be in command when
the great array Of battleships round
Cape Horn for an excursion into the
waters Of the Pacific, spent some time
at the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday.
When seen aboard his flagship, the
Connecticut, Admiral Evans explained
that no rush orders had been received
and only routine repairs were under
way.
"There have been no orders to rush
repairs at the Brooklyn or other navy
yards" said the'admiral. 1.-THE SEIZED
ule of repairs which laid out several
months ago is still followed. There
is such shortage Of docks that we
are always pushed to accomplish much
work, but there is no special rush at
this time"
Concerning the trip to the Pacific
he said: II have received no orders
for cruise. What may be in con.
temptation do not know. It 10 my
business only to do whatever the gov.
eminent may require"
Admieral Evans attaches no more
significance to the plans for practice
cruise Of IA, 900 miles than have other
officers who viewed it as part Of the
routine naval operations. It was alb
surd, he added, to construe the appear.
ance Of this formidable fighting force
in the territorial waters Of our west
coast as demonstration to impress
the friendly government of Japan.
''It is silly to talk Of war with
Japan, he said. because some
toughs wrecked Japanese restaurant
in San Francisco there is no more
reason for war with Japan than there
would be for one with China il a few
hoodlums on the East side should
stone a Chinese laundry"

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
LARGE FLEET NAY MAKE VOYAGE
AROUND horn.
But 1t IL Intended Only As a
Matter of Routine In the Drill
of the Naval Forces-War Talk
All Silly, Says Rear Admiral
j. vans.

Oyster Bay, July 6.-Conrfmatiou
Of the report that large feet of war
ships would assemble in Pacific waters
has come in the form of an official
statement from President Roosevelt,
made public by Secretary Loeb.
The statement disclaimed any in.
tention on the part Of the government
to rush the feet to the Pacific and
said that the warships might not be
sent on a cruise for many months.
The official statement as given out
by Secretary Loeb follows:
"There is no intention Of sending q
fleet to the Pacific at once. For the
last two years the administration has
been perfecting it's plans to arrange
for long ocean cruise of the battle
ship fleet, when q sufficient number Of
warships are gathered. This cruise
may be to the Pacific, but might pos
sibly be only to the Mediterranean or
the South Atlantic. It may possibly
take place next winter; but, on the
other hand, it may not be convenient
to arrange it until later. In any
event, after few months, the fleet
will be brought back together to the
Atlantic coast.
Matter of Routine
"Whether the voyage is made or not,
whether the feet stays in the Atlantic
or goes to the Pacific will be deter
mined simply as q matter of routine in
the management and drill Of the navy.
ut is now part of the settled policy
of the navy department, in it's effort
to keep the navy up to the highest
point of efficiency, always to keep the
battleships together, maneuvering as
fleet composed Of several squadrons,
and it is desirable that the feet
should, from time to time, take long
voyage.
"The relations between the United
States and all other powers never
were more peaceful and friendly than
at the present time, and if the feet
were sent to the Pacific the fact would
possess no more significance than the
further fact that three or four months
later it would be withdrawn from the
Pacific. Both would merely te part
Of the ordinary routine Of the ma
val administration"

CAR SHORTAGE SUIT
Oregon Warehouse Company Wants
Damages from O. R. & N.

Oregon Warehouse Company wants
Damages from O. R. & N.
Portland, July 6.-Charging that
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Company did not furnish oars Ia
which to ship wheat to the East until
four to eleven days after they were
ordered, The Interior Warehouse
Company has filed suits in the state
circuit court for $33, 8S6 damages.
The quickest time in which the
company furnished cars was four days,
according to the complaint, and the
longest was five months. The suit
grew out Of an attempt by the ware.
house company to supply wheat to
Eastern dealers in 1904, when the crol
in the East was short. There was q
large demand in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho for wheat to ship to Min.
neapolis, Chicago, Duluth, st. Louis,
Baltimore and Battle Greek, says the
complaint, and at that time the O. r.
& N. company was advertising fol
freight to handle, especially wheat,
and represented that it had ample ia
cilities for transportation Of grain.
Relying on these representations,
says the complaint, the warehouse
company bought large quantities OF
grain in Oregon, Washington and Ida.
ho and contracted with dealers in
Eastern cities to sell it to them. De-
mands were made upon the railroad
company for cars, but cars were not
furnished, and the warehouse people
say they were compelled to hold their
grain in readiness for shipment, ex-
pecting cars daily from seven to TWEEN.
ty-two weeks.
In some cases, it is alleged, the COM
pany vase ompelled to buy grain in
Chicago at heavy loss to deliver on
tLeir contracts. In other cases the
market price of wheat, having ad-
vanced after the contracts were made,
the warehouse company had to pay
Eastern dealers the difference between
the contract price and the market
price at the time the wheat should
have been delivered in the East.
The storing of the immense guam
tity of grain in warehouses along the
o. R. & N. lines entailed the expense
of storage, insurance, employment Of
labor, and represented large sums Of
money. The warehouse company
seeks to recover from the railroad COM
pany the cost of insurance and storage.
