The Battleship Fleet New York, Aug 23.—In an official statement issued this afternoon at Oyster Bay, President Roosevelt announced that the Atlantic battleship fleet of sixteen vessels would sail for the Pacific in December by the Straits of Magellan and that the time and route of return had not yet been decided. The president’s statement followed a long conference at the Oyster Bay summer capital to which Admiral Evans was summoned by wireless from the Connecticut, which was cruising fifty miles off Chesapeake Bay, and which was participated in by Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry and Rear Admiral Brownson, chief of the bureau of navigation. Here is the president’s official statement, which confirms even to the detail of route to be sailed: “The conference this afternoon between the president and the three officers of the navy was called to decide details in connection with the Atlantic fleet’s going to the Pacific. The fleet will consist of sixteen battleships. It will start some time in December. The course of the fleet will be through the Straits of Magellan and up the Pacific Coast to San Francisco. The fleet also will, in all probability, visit Puget Sound. The question of the route by which it will return to the Atlantic has not as yet been decided. The destroyer flotilla will leave for the Pacific about the same addresses by men of national prominence.” Important Phase of Conservation Natural Resources to Be Discussed by Eminent Speakers at the National Irrigation Congress The program of set speeches prepared papers at the Fifteenth National Irrigation Congress will be broadest in scope of any convention ever held in the United States for purpose of promoting the public fare. Conservation of Resources must be the keynote, and the program include addresses by representatives of all of the great National organizations which seek to promote conservation and development along brigade and national lines. The irrigation grass, has long been a forestry grass, because of the close connection which exists between the preservers of the forests and the use of water so conserved for irrigation. It is recognized that there is a community of interest between irrigation drainage, between irrigation and deep water transportation and between irrigation and all of the great industries which are or may be developed in the territory adjacent to the irrigable lands. The program of the Sacramento irrigation Congress will include addresses by the President or other distinguished representatives of the National Drainage Association, the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, American Forestry Association, American Mining Congress, and Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress. Hon Geo F Barstow of time in December. The course of the fleet will be through the Straits of Magellan and up the Pacific Coast to San Francisco. The fleet also will, in all probability, visit Puget Sound. The question of the route by which it will return to the Atlantic has not as yet been decided. The destroyer flotilla will leave for the Pacific about the same time as the battleship fleet, but the destroyers and torpedo boats will not accompany the fleet." The decision to send the fleet around Cape Horn instead of by way of the Suez canal was reached in the face of a strenuous campaign by powerful politicians, who for some reason not yet made clear did not desire the fleet to round South America. The difficulties of coaling on the Cape route, the extreme cost and the poor quality of coal served at South American ports, and many other objections have been repeatedly pressed on the government. At no time has it been the intention of the government to concentrate the battleships in Philippine waters. With bases at San Francisco and Puget Sound the fleet would be within striking distance of Honolulu and the Philippines in case of emergency. The president is silent as to the time of the return of the fleet, and his statement that "the route by which it will return to the Atlantic has not yet been decided," is considered significant. In an interview Admiral George Dewey declared that the fleet might never return to the Atlantic, and urged the up-building of a new Atlantic fleet. Acting Secretary Newberry and Rear Admiral Brownson reached Oyster Bay this morning in an automobile. With them were Commissioner Lupp and Lincoln Steffens, a magazine writer. They went directly to Sagamore Hill and had luncheon with the president.
