FRIENDLY WITH ALL POWERS

Regular Management and Drill of
NRvy-Cruise Has Been Under Con-
sfderation for Two Years.

Oyster Bay. July with reference
20 the stories which have been printed
as to dispatching the fleet to the Pa
cific. Secretary Loeb said to-day:
The relations between the United
States and all other powers were never
more peaceful and friendly than at the
present time, and If the fleet were sent
to the Pacific the fact would possess no
more significance than the further fact
that three or four months later II
would be withdrawn from the Pacific.
There is no intention of sending the
fleet at once TO the Pacific. For the
last two years the administration has
for a lorg ocean cruise of the battle
ship fleet when a sufficient number Of
war ships are gathered This cruise
may possibly be to the Pacific, but
might possibly be only to the Mediter
ranean or the South Atlantic. 1t may
possibly take place next winter, but on
The other hand, it may not be conven-
lent to arrange it until later. In any
event, after a few months the feet will
be brought back together TO the Allan
tic coast.
Whether the voyage is made or not
whether the feet stays in the Atlantic
or goes to the Pacific waters, viii be
determined simply as matter Of rou-
tine In the management and drill Of the
navy. II is now part OF the settled
policy Of the Navy Department in the
effort to keep the navy up TO the high
est point OF efficiency always 10 keep
the battle ships together maneuvering

rons, and II Is desirable that this feet
