sand tons of coal here for her bunkers


With the definite information that
the New Orleans is on her way home,
thus confirming The Stars statement
that she would be here shortly, it
would seem that the United States
government does not consider it ne
cessary to reinforce the present
strength of the Asiatic fleet in Chi
nese waters. If, therefore, there is
anything in the talk that the Pacific
fleet is being held subject to an i'm
mediate ordering % China, the danger
must have passed. In these circum-
stances, it should be expected that the
fleet will leave here for the Coast
shortly, t. e, if China were the prob
BILE objective of the fleet.
The New Orleans wirelessed in last
night that she was one thousand miles
west of Honolulu She is on her way
back to Mare Island and will prob
ably call in here to replenish her coal
bunkers. She has been on the Asia
tic station for some time now. The
Saratoga, formerly the New York, was
the flagship on the station there, with
Admiral Murdoch the commander-in-
chief. The New Orleans was built by
Sir W. G. Armstrong, Mitchell & Co.,
Newcastle-on-Tyn England for the
Brazilian government She was then
the Aamazonas. Two of the six-inch
Armstrong guns put in her by her
builders are mounted at the Honolulu
naval yard In all probability, these
will be reshipped by her when she
calls here
