THE BIG SHIPS WILL
RETURN VIA SUEz
President and Cabinet Decides On
Program For the Fleet.
WILL REACH FRISCO ABOUT MAY is.
The Plan of the Administration Is to
Send the Fleet on the Return Journey
From the Pacific Coast to the Philip
pines, and Thence via Suez Canal to
the Atlantic.

Washington, d. c. Especially The
itinerary of the return of the battle
ship fleet to the Atlantic Coast, which
has been under discussion by the
| General Board at recent sessions at
the conference between Secretary Met
calf, Rear-Admiral Cowles and Pills
bury and Captain Winslow at the
White House and at the Cabinet
meeting, has finally been decided
upon, and unless for some unexpected
reason the plan is changed 1t will be
ofhcially announced by Secretary
Metcalf.
The plan of the Administration is
to send the fleet on the return Jour
ney from the Pacific Coast to the
Philippines, and thence via the Suez
canal to the Atlantic. Only possible
foreign political contingencies will
change this plan.
The fleet, which left Callao Febru-
ary 20, is expected to reach Magda-
lena Bay March 10. About five
weeks will be required for the 16
battleships to complete their target
practice, when they will move to the
Southern California coast. San
Diego, the first stop, will be reached
In about nine days. Other stops up
tne coast Will bring the fleet to San
francisco between May and s. The
exact date of arrival will be set with
In the next few days, so as to ac-
commodate the people of the Pacific
Coast who are arranging an elaborate
program of reception. They have
been informed that it will be impos-
sible to bring the fleet to San H'ran-
cisco in time for the reception to be
on the anniversary of Manila Day,
May l, as had been desired. Follow
ing the review of the two fleets in
san Francisco Bay by Secretary Met
calf, the ships will be docked at
Hunters Point and the Puget Sound
Navy Yard. This will require two
or three weeks, depending upon the |
extent OF repair work necessary. |
Considerable time will be required to |
complete the installation of fire con-
troll, which was begun weeks prior to |
the heet's departure from Hampton |
Roads.
The entire feet will assemble at |
Seattle the early part of June, or as
soon as the ships are out of dock, |
and an extensive program of Joint |
maneuvers, and battle practice will |
be carried out in Puget Sound.
Following this work, which will
last till well into July, the fourth di-
vision of the feet, commanded by
Rear-Admiral Sperry, will be detach-
ed and taken by him to Manila.
Later the fleet will be reorganized by
the addition of the Nebraska and the
Mississippi, New Hampshire and
Idaho, which will arrive in the mean
time from the Atlantic. A stay of |
some time will be made at Honolulu
and Manila, and the fleet will return
via the Suez and Gibralter.
