INTERFERE.

Washington.-In accordance Will
the Navy Departments plan OF mobi,
.izing this fall on the Pacific coast, the
bulk of the cruisers now stationed in
the Pacific, the armored cruisers West
Virginia. Colorado, Maryland and
Pennsylvania, will steam from the
Philippines for Yokohoma, Japan and
from there they will conls to home wa
ters. The necessary repairs on the ar
mored cruisers Tennessee and Wash
ington. now at Hampton Roads and
Newport, respectively, will be COM
pleted by September 28th, and imme-
diately after that will proceed to the
Pacific.
These details are the most recent de.
velopments of the change of naval poi.
icy, the most significant feature Of
which has the Presidents decision to
send the Atlantic fleet of sixteen bat
tleships to the Pacific The Importance
of the battleship cruise which will be-
gin in the late fall or in the early Win
ter, has rather overshadowed the plans
for the mobilization of the cruisers on
the Pacific coast
Plans Are All Changed.
Prior to President Roosevelts deci
sion that the highest consideration of
national interests required shifting
of sea power to the Pacific, the scheme
of naval distribution placed the Pacific
on cruiser and the Atlantic on bat
tleship basis. Most of the cruisers in
the Pacific had their stations in the
far East. Upon the advent of Victor
N. Metcalf of California as secretary Of
the navy. the naval representation of
the Pacific coast was strengthened.
When the mobilization has been ac
complished. which will be some time
about January 1, 1908. the Pacific fleet
will be composed of these ships:
Armored cruisers-Tennessee Wash
ington, California. South Dakota, West
Virginia. Colorado, Maryland, Penn.
sylvania.
Cruiser Denver Among Them.
Protected Cruisers - Chattanooga.

Gunboats, Yorktown, Concord. Hell

To this should be added division
of nine small gunboats captured in the
Philippines from Spain; the coast de
