Admiral Glass, has been ordered to cruise to Honolulu.
Tin's is the squadron which was ordered here just before the
Panama trouble broke out; The plan of the Navy Department, as
previously hinted at in the dispatches, probably was to unite the
1 acihc and Asiatic .squadrons here for winter maneuvers. The
Pacific squadron had to he hurried to the Isthmus and the Asiatic
squadron, which came, returned to the Philippines after a fortnight's
stay because of the imminence of thu Japanese war. It is
quite poshiblc that, if the affairs of the Pacific are peaceful next
winter, that joint maneuvers will he held necordiiiK to the former
program.
