ALABAMA ENDS
WORLD CRUISE
Battleship Arrives al New
York After Cruise Around
the World
Her Companion The Maine,
Goes Into Dry Dock
at Portsmouth

New York, Oct. 19.-Through a dull
brown curtain of haze and smoke
which overhung the tortuous entrance
to New York harbor this afternoon,
the great white hull of the battleship
Alabama crept cautiously into port
and dropped anchor off Tomkins vile,
completing voyage around the world
in 800 days. More than $4,000 miles
of all the seas of the world lay behind
her.
Except in one place the Alabama
finished her long swing around the
globe circle as fit for fight as when
she sailed from Hampton Roads on
December 16 last, as one following a
fleet that went forth on a mission
of peace.
Several years of steaming has put
the boilers of the great ship to Sc
we're test and repairs are necessary.
Ia few days the Alabama will go to
the navy yard at Brooklyn to under
go an overhauling. sssI4
The battleship Maine which accom-
panied the Alabama around the world
arrived at Portsmouth navy yard
Sunday, and will dry dock and be
made fit after her long cruise.
