Sew J an. 7.—Afi Ahnapolia
special to U BBhn wTiPIpsed es says :
Comment among navy offi
cers over the series of orders emanating
from the navy department, within the
past few weeks, directing the cotnmis-
siotiing of war ships at San Francisco
and the ordering of various other crui*
! sera to Pacific waters. Li' J..
Under thj present orders, no less than
eleven war ships and five revenue cut¬
ters will soon be in commission in the
Pacific and ready for duty. If, in Addi¬
tion, the rumored chartering and arm¬
ing of seven steamers for revenue cutter
duty in Behring sea proves correct, the
United States naval force will number
twenty-three ships against the five Brit¬
ish gunboats and one armored vessel at
present protecting Great Britain’s inter¬
ests in the north Pacific. It is now as¬
serted that the Y an tic will be sent from
New York to the Pacific. This will in¬
crease the above force by still another
vessel.
The Orders sent (Hit from the navy de¬
have partment included during the the immediate past few weeks
of t he San Francisco; the ordering fitting of out
Swatara, the
corvette just returned from
die Asiatic station, to join the Pacific
squadron; the the ordering in commission of
coi’;' tw Marion and Alert, now at
Sah Francisco; the ordering of the Om»-
k„ of the Asiatic squadron, to
at once to San Francisco, the al-
the reason ordering being that she needs re-
---. of the Thetis to be
:ed out for duty, upon the alleged as¬
signment of surveying duty.
Aside from the above orders, it is
pointed out that no orders are being is-
«»ed for the cruisers Charleston or San
§5 Francisco to leave the Pacific, coast.
Already there are six war ships at San
