WARSHIPS AROUND THE HORN | But It’s Merely a Practice Cruise Metcalf Says. The Secretary Dislikes the Pol- icy of Separating the Navy and Sending Boats to Europe --Not an Anti- Japanese Movement. Oakland, Cal., July —The Secretary of the Navy, Victor H. Metcalf, in an interview teday, confirmed the re- port that a large part of the United States navy will be seen in Pacific waters next winter. Eighteen or twenty of the largest ships will come around Cape Horn on a practice cruise and will go to San Francisco harbor. “Many false impressions have gained circulation about the pro- posed movement of this part of the United States navy,” says Secretary Metcalf. “I have believed uli along that there is practically no signifi- cance in this movement from a mill- tary standpoint. I might bs vestat- ed before leaving Wasbington exact- ly whatI am saying nuw | believe that, as the news concerned the peo- ple of the Pacific const, to-day would be an appropriate tu $0 an- | nounce the exact plans | “Tt le the polley of the navy Jepart- ment to keep the fleet in American waters as much ae possible. It fs al- 80 our policy, as has been stuted, to | keep as many ships together as pos- sible. We might as wel! spend the money that {s devoted to our navy in American ports as abroad. In the past we have sent squadrons to var- 1ous European nations with less ad- | yantage than by keeping them home. : *T have planned this crulse around Cape Horn fr the practice of the squadron. How long they will spend in these waters-I cannot say at pres- ent. I can promise the people of Oakland and San Francisco that that they will see one of the finest naval spectacles ever seen in Pacific waters.” NO CAUSE FOR WAR TALK, HE SAYS “I hope the talk of Japanese troub- les and of international differences will be dropped by all of the news- papers of the country. There {s nothing to produce any feeling ex- cept this talk of the newspapers. It {a without foundation. The story that Ambassador Aokt is in disfavor with his own government {s, I be- Meve, purely an invention. I know of no reason why Japan and the United States should not be on the friendlfest of terms.” Real Estate Transfers Robt A Robinson to Susana Robin- son tract sec 19 Howard $2000.

The prestdent has authorized Secre- tary of State Root to notify the Chinese ambassador that he will rec- ommend the reduction of the indem- nity agreed upou at the close of the boxertrouble. The indemnity claim- ed by the Ualted States was 24,440,- 000 and some e!x millions have been paid. It has been found that $11,- 000,000 will cover our loss and ex- pense incurrent, and the president will ask congress to reduce the amount to the actual loss incurred. This is an act of justice which very naturally impresses the Chinese with our fairness and the Chinese ambas- sador has, in eloquent words, ex- pressed his nation’s gratitude. Our nation strengthens its position when {t gives evidence of its desire to do justice to all in its international deal- {nge and the president has made no mistake in reaching the conclusion which has been announced. Some forty years ago our govern- ment voluntarily reduced an indem- nity which Japan was paying and the Japanese always speak of it in extending welcome to an American. As nations collect indemnity by force {t is the more important that they should scrupulously avoid anything like extortion. Our nation sets a splendid example in refusing to ac- cept more than the damages actual- ly suffered and time will demonstrate that from a commercial standpoint as well as from the standpoint of morals {it pays for our government to be just.

About two wholo sections of grain were destroy- ed, aggregating between 15,000 and 20,000 sacks. Suspicion has been aroused from the fact that the fires and the levee break occurred eimul- taneously.
