OUR WAR FLEET
NOW IN PHILIPPINES.
Anchored Off Manila Bay Two Thirds
OF Voyage Now Over.


Manila, Oct. Fresh from a
triumphant reception in Australian
ports, and with their crui around
the world two thirds accomplished, the
sixteen battleships of the American
fleet which started from Hampton
Roads last December are anchored in
double column tonight off the break
water close To Luneta whence a
splendid view of the warships was
obtainable today The voyage of the
feet from Australia to this port was
without special incident.
In discussing the long cruise from
San Francisco. Reat Admiral Sperry
declares that since the warships have
been thrown upon their own resources
without the convenience and support
of navy yard, the efficiency of the
ships has been greatly increased.
He expressed himself as we'll satisfied
with the general results attained,
from the standpoints of discipline,
seamansnIp and adaptability to cir
cumstance.
Following a conference of officers
of the feet it was announced orders
had been issued directing that nothing
be taken aboard from on shore pending
further consideration of the epidemic
of cholera. Shore leave will be
granted the officers providing they re-
turn to the ships by 10 p. In. A
special permit must be secured to
permit them remaining over night,
and careful instructions were issued
covering their conduct while ashore
in order to guard against the remotest
danger of bringing contagion aboard
the vessels

the fact that it was a sacred institution

taught the principle of true living. life
