When heavy express wagons were seen starting from the ravy yard this morning before daybreak residents of the southeast section of the city looked upon the move- ment as the forerunner of active military operations. In ordinary times such move- ments would have attracted no attention, but happening at this time some sensational gossip followed. It was declared to a Star 1eporter thet there was nothing at all sig- nificant in the early morning movements. Gun carriages, it was explained, were being taken down to Sheridan’s Point, on the Virginia store of the Potomac, opposite Fort Washington. The guns at the point, it was further stated, will be mounted dur- ing the next few deys. The sbops at the navy yard are all in op- eration, but reports that the men had been ordered to werk overtime in the gun fac- tory were er phatically denied this morning by Commander E. C. Pendleton, superin- terdent. Speaking to a Star reporter, Com- mander Pendleton said that some overtime work was done in the gun carriage fac- tcry some time ago, but denied that extra time had been made since the disaster in Havana bay. “Aud,” he added, “no extra-time work is centemplated so far as I know.” The work in the yard, he said, ts pretty well up.to date. What are known as the “reserve cruisers,” he said, are being push- ed. He had seen a number of newspaper stories printed about tlie work in the yard, he said, and most of them were fabrica- tions. He added that he had seen Mr. Cramp, the shipbuilder, yesterday, and that gentleman had denounced as untrue an al- leged interview. in which he was quoted as expressing the belief that a torpedo from the outside had caused the disaster to the Mat: De. In the gunshop ft was learned that guns for the new battle ships Kentucky and respectively, are about com- pleted. There are four 13-inch and four 10-inch guns for each ship. For the Chica- go there are fourteen 5-inch guns, The 6- inch guns intended for the Chicago have been assigned to another ship. It was stated that there are four 10-inch and six Kentucky and Kearsarge, said the contract called for them to be finished next January, but he thought it would be as late as July before they are really finished. pS SEEN Posed as a Detective, ‘A man arrested in New York Saturday ] | morning as @ suspect gave his name as J.
