of pessimistic Bentlment, crumbling

tho evidence of tho conviction spread
Ing wider and wider that tho main
responsibility for broken faith in tho

This change in sentiment (which

among an over-widening circle of
those who have been devoted to Mr.
Roosevelt was moBt evidenced, or
porhnps reflected, in tho daily press.
Newspapers that in tho March panic

Dut the Torpedo Destroyer Flotilla
Though Starting About tho Same
Time Will Not Accompany Them
Now York, Aug. 24. Secretary
Loeb announced tonight that n ficot
of six battleships will start for tho
Pacific somo time in September via
the straits of Magellan, touching at
San Francisco, also at Pugot Sound.
Tho destroyer flotilla will leave for
tho Pacific about the eamo timo, but
will not accompany tho battleships.
Commenting on this 'tho Orcgonlan
snys:
Tho above is tho first poBftlvo an
nouncement of tho dnto whon tho
battleship fleet will sail for tho Pa
ciflo coast. Tho first announcomont
was mado by Soccotary of tho Navy
Metculf on July 4th, nnd tho do
tails -iworo -given ouVtho following
day, buttho date of departuro was
only glvon vaguoly as somo time in
tho fall.
It was stated In July that 1C
battleships, four crulsors and tlui
gunboat Yorktown would como
through Magollan straits, but tho
abovo dlBpatch says only six battle
ships arc coming. This may bo an
orror in transmission, which it is im
possible to have corrected In tho
present condition of tho telegraph
sorvlce. Jt Is qulto probablo, how
over, .that tho numbor of six is cor
rect, and that tho number has been
cut down, cither because tho govern
ment thought It unwlso to so nearly
donudo tho Atlantic coast of buttle
ships or because it was desired to
deprive tho movement of a bostllo
demonstration against Japan.
At tho timo when tho movement
was first announced it was almost
universally interpreted ns n precau
tion against any possiblo hostllo
movement by Japan, which was then
stirred up by agitation over attacks
on Japanese in San Francisco. Such
an interpretation was no soonor giv
en the movement than a chorus of
denials camo from every official
quartor. It was declared with groat
emphasis that the San Francisco dis
turbances had not disturbed tho
friendly relations of tho two coun
tries, and like statements woro made
with equal emphasis by Admiral
Yamamoto, who about that timo vis
ited tho United States, and by Am
bassador Aokl and Foreign Mlnistor
Hayashl. The war talk has slnco
subsided, and tho Prosldont may havo
concluded that a reduction Irr tho
naval forco sent to tho Pacific would
prevent Its renewal.
Assuming that tho floot starts on
its voyago about tho middle of Do
cember, it should arrive at San Fran
cisco about tho middle of February,
1908, as CO days Is considered amplo
timo for the voyage, and, with duo
allowance for coaling at Culebra,
Rio Janerlo, Sand Point, Callao and
Panama. It Is probablo, howevor,
that some time wjll bo devoted to
niauouvers nnd target practlco In
South Pacific waters, In which caso
the arrival at San Francisco would
be delayed to some time In March.
Although Portland Is not men
tioned as one of tho ports to bo vis
ited. It la safe to assume that tho
commercial bodies of this city will
be able to securo orders for at least
Bomo of the ships to como up tho Co
lumbia river.
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 24. L. O.
Crowder, foreman on the log drive
on the Colvllle river for tho WlhB
