places the fleet will remain from five
to eleven days, except at Magdalena

departure depends upon the compile

! Special TO the Herald.
Washington, d. C.. Dec. 16.-The
long cruise to the Pacific begun by
the batteships of the Atlantic fleet
today is regarded in naval circles
here as the greatest naval maneuvers
and peaceful tests in the history OF
the United States It is the first time
that such an elaborate program has
been attempted by the American
navy. Some unintelligent observers
/ have endeavored to establish a con
nection between the Japanese immi.
grafton question and the visit of the
fleet to the Pacific coast. In other
words, they have sought to construe
the sending Of the big fleet to the Pa
cific as a menace toward Japan. No
well-informed person in Washington
entertains any such idea.
On reaching Magalena Bay, the bat
tleships which sailed today will en-.

which It IS exPsStea- s,ig4,sl;es

and the Pacific fleets, the latter hav.

at that place When the target prac-
tice, which will be unusually extern
sive. including battle practice with a
rought sea and record practice in
smooth water, has been concluded,
the combined fleets will head north
ward for San Francisco and on the
way will engage in many maneuvers,
The practice will include division
into two fleets. each containing eight
battleships. eight cruisers and a small
torpedo flotilla, destroyers, repair
ships. supply ships, etc. These will
be pitted against each other, and will
work out the complex problems which
have been devised by the general
board. as well as others which may
be suggested by the flag officers of

Norfolk, Va, Dec 16.-With a bon
voyage" from the president of the
United States and a salute from the
deep-throated guns of the Cape forts,
the sixteen great battleships of the
Atlantic fleet passed majestically out
of Hampton Roads and into the At.
lantic this morning to undertake the
most wonderful peaceful test in the
history of the American navy Three
months will elapse before the officers
and men of the fleet will again step
foot on American soil, during which
time they win have rounded Cape
Horn and completed Z SEA TIL, --ef
nearly fourteen thousand miles.
The departure OF the battleships
formed the most impressive naval
spectacle ever seen here in times OF
peace. The new American navy was
in its infancy when the brilliant inter
national naval rendezvous of 1893
was held in Hampton Roads. Today
the magnificent fleet, under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans, presented picture of impress.
sive fighting strength notable in the
naval annals of the world.
American vessels at naval gather.
ings abroad have always been an at.
tractive center of interest because of
their graceful lines and clean-cut APP
pearance. Today, assembled in the
full strength of a fighting fleet that
is the equal of any in the world, they
made an impression that will live
long in the memory of those who |
looked on, while the president, as
commander-in-chief, DOTTED his hat in |
acknowledgment of each thunderous
salute as the floating fortresses pass
ed out to sea.
The president reviewed the fleet |
from the deck of the trim little yacht |
cruiser Mayflower. where the pleni- |
potentiaries of Russia and Japan met
two years ago. In the presidents par.
ty were Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary Of |
the Navy and Mrs Metcalf, Assistant |
Secretary and Mrs. Newberry. Rear
Admiral and Mrs. Brownson and Rear
Admiral and Mrs. Cowles.
The Mayflower reached the scene
from Washington early this morning.
The president did not go aboard any
OF the battleships, but Immediately
after the yacht anchored Rear Ad.

of the fleet, and the various flag off

And soon it was his hip.

To take one each three hours until
The pain had really fed.
