5. BATTLESHIPS oivinten
AT NOY CHINA
EE
Aided of ‘Squadron’ Under Admiral
. Emory. BD
Amoy (By Cable).—Eight battle-
ships comprising the second squad-
ron of the American Atlantic fleet,
under command of Rear Admiral
William H. Emory, arrived here Fri-
day morning after an uneventful
voyage from Yokohama. To the
Chinese the visit “of the Americans
is of far-reaching importance and ev-
ery perparation has been made not
only to extend to the representatives
of the United States a flattering wel-
come, but to Impress upon them
China's desire for even more cordial
relations with the republic than have
prevailed hitherto.
The selection of Amoy as a port
of call is in accordance with the pro-
gram decided upon at Washington
when it was determined that the
fleet ghould return to America via
the Suez Canal. The 16 ships of the
fleet left Yokohama together on Sun-
day morning, but divided into two
squadrons when two days out, the
first, under command of Rear Ad-
miral Sperry, on the flagship Con-
gummy
necticut, heading for Olongapo, Phil
ippine Islands, and the second, under |
Rear Admiral Emory, on the Louls-
jana, bound for Amoy. The two
squadrons will join forces again at
Manila, the gecond division being!
