Tho Gorman disclaimed any Inten

It Is oxpected that tho affair will

tho utmost significance to It.
Tho maneuvers being conducted In

the navy was trying somo of tho lat

which hnvo boon guarded closoly'
from observation by foreign govern

ground thnt tho German bont could

The fooling displayed, however,
by both tho Germans and tho English
