Naval Movements Prohibited and War Plans Mapped
The Commercial Cable Company reports United States authorities forbid messages about naval movements and current military operations. A joint army navy board will replace the Naval Board of Strategy, under President McKinley’s oversight, with plans to map out future operations. The battleship Alabama was launched at Cramp ship yards, christened by Mica Emory Morgan, weather favorable though security tighter, and Commodore Schley’s flying squadron arrived at Key West amid prompt dispatches.
