NEUTRALITY WARSHIPS
 CHANGE THEIR POSITIONS.
Moved Into Hampton Roads as the Deutschland Cleared from Baltimore.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 1.-The armored strOyers which have been doing neu- trality duty along the three-mile limit off Cape Henry moved into Hampton Roads tonight about the time the Deutschland cleared from Baltimore. No reason for the change in position of the warships was obtainable here. While only one ship of the allied patrol was in sight at sundOwn tonight, it was believed others were near.
 If the Deutschland remains with the tug Timmirs, it is doubtful if she could reach here before tomorrow noon But putting on full speed, however, and racing away from the tug, it is believed here she would be able to arrive by daylight.
 The consensus of opinion among sea- faring men here is that the Deutsch- land will not attempt to escape from American waters in the daytime. They expect her to put into some secluded point and await the coming of darkness to make her dash.
 Passed Annapolis at 9.45 p. m.
 Annapolis, Aug. 1.-The Deutschland passed Annapolis at 8.45 o'clock, steaming about twelve miles an hour. The tug Timmins alone was conveying. The yacht Valiant with photographers aboard put into this port and report ed the trip thus far uneVentful. The coast guard cutter WissahiCkOn left the Deutschland at Fort Carroll. The weather is clear, the wind fitfuI and there 1s not much sea.
