ed to have steamed between the
ships of the Atlantic battleship feet
engaged in target practice on the
Virginia capes.
Naval officers in authority in Wash
ingtcn expressed the opinion that any
criticism of the action of the COM
mander of the vessel should be with
held until some substantial evidence
is at hand that he in any way vio-
lated international propriety in an
effort to observe the operations and
results of the gunners' work aboard
the vessels. The Aetna, they say, is
a guest of the nation and it would be
highly improbable that the command
er would be guilty of an affront to our
people
The officers say that the ship was
on her way to an American port, and
that if she slowed up, as reported,
when approaching the feet, it was in
all probability because of her inten-
ton to pass in at the capes and make
port. If any affront was given, the
naval officers say it was entirely I'M
intentional and not studied.
