FIXES SAILING DATE.
All Plans Complete for Fleet to Sail
for Pacific December 10.

Washington, Oct. 2S. - Secretary
Metcalf today announced that it was
definitely settled that the Atlantic fleet
will leave Hampton Roads on December
16 for its cruise to the Pacific coast.
This announcement followed confer
ence held at the White House, to
which the president summoned Secre-
tary Metcalf, Rear Admiral Evans, who
will command the fleet on its cruise to
the Pacific, and Rear Admiral Brown
son, chief Of the bureau of navigation
Of the Navy department. The confer
ence was called to continue more in de-
tail the cabinet meeting discussion of
naval affairs. The discussion related
particularly to details of the Atlantic
fleets cruise to the Pacific.
1t is understood that matters were in
such shape that the president was thor
oughly informed on all important items
in the itinerary. Admiral Evans. who
has been confined to his apartments on
account Of an indisposition, looked and
declared himself to be much improved
in health. The bureau of insular
affairs today received cablegam from
Governor General Smith, of the Philip
pines, asking that the Atlantic fleet be
permitted to visit Manila during the
week beginning February 10, in order
to attend to pre-Lenten festivities.
The fact that the fleet will not have
arrived in Pacific waters by that time
precludes this.
Mr.. Metcalf stated that the question
of allowing newspaper correspondents
to accompany the fleet was discussed
and the conclusion reached not to allow
newspaper men aboard, but that officers
of the fleet would be designated to send
such news as might be thought desir-
able to make public
