Wanted the Whole Fleet, Not

Picking, Nov. 6. Although the
American squadron has left Annoy,
the matter Of their presence at the
southern port has not been more than
mentioned in Picking. Officials are
silent, and the impression of general
humiliation at the fact that only
squadron came instead of the whole
fleet can not be concealed The mea-
gerness Of the reply of the foreign
board to Admiral Sperrys message
of congratuiation on the birthday of
the dowsger empress also has at
tracted attention, and it is clear that
the throne has been Indifferent to the
whole affair. There are people also
who point to the fact that Annoy has
had a severe storm while the weather
in the north has been beautiful and
clear, as an evidence of the mistake
of the authorities in selecting Annoy
as port of call In short, it is gen.
erallyrealized and declared in Picking
that the coming of the squadron and
not the main fleet will have an I'M
favorable effect upon present rela
lions.
