U. S. Fleet Abandons Trip.

While Secretary Daniels has stated that he had not definitely decided to abandon plans for sending the Atlantic fleet through the Panama Canal next month to San Francisco, it is now regarded as almost certain that the fleet will be kept on the Atlantic coast. Major General Goethals talked with the secretary and it is understood advised him that while it would be possible to put the ships through the canal now, he could give no assurance what the conditions would be in June.
