DENIES WAR REPORT eavernment Will Not Materially Strengthen Pacific Fleet. NO BATTLESHIPS ARE COMING Rumor of SuchoMovemsnt Came From Naval Expert Only Two Shlpt Ordered to Pacific. "Washington, July 4 .The govern ment U not going to throw fuel on the anti-American tlaruea now burning In Japan by ordering 10 battleships from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as has been reported in pome dispatches. Assist ant Secretary Newberry of tho Navy de partment said today that no largo movement of warships from the Atlan tic to tho Pacific was contemplated. The Washington and Tennessee, now In Bordeaux, are under orders to join tho Pacific squadron Later on, but aside from that no general movement la con templated. Ill statement is substan tiated by an official announcement injulo today at Oyster Day. It Is pointed out in diplomatic circles that the Japanese government doc not countenance tho anti-American agita tion that is in progrcesjn tliat country, and this government, as such, enter tains tho most friendly feeling for Japan. It therefore being mutually understood that the relations of the two governments aro moat amicable, there could be nc reason for now moving 10 battleships to the Pacific. Some naval experts who can scent war every time they, smell firecrackers aro responsible for sensational reports that have been in circulation, but these exncrbt aro not speaking by authority There is to bo no general change in the stations f our warships. Ultimately tho Pacific fleet will be strengthened, as it needs to be, but there is no inten tion of unnecessarily exposing tho At lantic coast with its many great cities at a timo when It Is believed thero is no danger of war on the Pacific.

One peculiar feat ure of tho casualties this year Is the number of deaths fictti fright. Of the flvo instant dcatlis In this city, four weie from fright.
