San Francisco, Cal, March 1.-THE
u. s. cruiser Milwaukee OF Admiral
Swinburne's squadron, returning here

theft on board during her stay in the

The sum of $500 in gold was
taken from the paymaster's room by
some person doing duty on the
cruiser. Paymaster G. Il. Skipwith
first learned OF the theft when he re-
turned to his room from a stroll on
deck and suddenly missed the sack
containing the crews pay. A hasty
examination Of the safe revealed the
fact that the combination had been
worked.
Immediately following the robbery,
a thorough search was made OF the
ship and of the 400 enlisted men, but
all efforts to catch the thief and find
the stolen gold failed. II Is thought
the money is hidden on board the

Besides the Buffalo, the only other
ships to greet the feet were the tug

GOLFERS, which had brought coal from

their way to the Pacific. In this con-
nection, Rear Admiral Thomas author
lied the following statement:
Thomas Makes Statement.
There was absolutely no truth in
the story that Admiral Evans trans
ferred the command TO me. Never
was it even contemplated. There was
not a day that Admiral Evans did not
have full grasp of the duties Of su-
preme command.

remarkable and successful naval
cruises in the history Of the world.
The ships are In better condition than
when we left Hampton Roads. II is a
marvellous performance. On the last
leg OF the trip, we actually were
making more miles per ton OF coal
than when we started. This was due
to increased efficiency in the engine
forces and in the firing of the boilers"
Washington, Marcn 14.-Secretary
Metcalf has announced the future
movements of Evans feet following

possessions" as Metcalf styled it.

they will gc to Samoa, following this

to go to Manila, and while in the
Philippines the annual fall target prac.
tice will be held. Thence the return
will be made to the United States by
way OF the Suez, stopping only at such
ports as are necessary for coaling pur.
