AMIHAL REPORTS APPALLING MEDDLES. A great sensation has been caused in St. Peteraliurg by a report drawn up by Admiral Tchui-linin- . who commands the Rnosian Black Sea fleet, on the subject of the, recent naval manoeuvres held under hi tuperviiinn. Admiral Tchttchnin writes: I have found that the naval officers under my command are entirely without love fur their profession and without interest in their work. 1 have found that incompetence prevails throughout the fleet. When manoeuvring the officer were unable to handle their ships smart ly. .The most appalling muddles occurred. Sometime when the chips of the fleet wi-rupiosed to be in close formation several would be found to be missing altogether and cruisers had to be detached to search for them. The ignals from the flagship were either miBunderxtood or purposely disobeyed. Many officers were totally ignorant of naval regulation. In the same report Admiral Tchu-chn- in goes on to mention several examples of the extraordinary lack of dicipllne among Ruaaian naval officer. One night during the manoeuvre the fleet was steaming in company when torpedo boat No. 273 suddenly turned and diappeared. The angry aumlral dispatched a cruiser In chase, and after a long search the nissing torpedo boat was found in the harbor of Yalta. Ibe lieutenant in command and hia brother officers as well declared simply that thfy preferred spending the night in port rather than on the open sea. Two other torpedo boats left the fleet without, the admiral' permission and were also found at Yalta. 'Ihty were tired of executing evolutions at night and the commanders exprease d surprise and indignation when they learned In a somewhat forcible manner that the admiral was distinctly annoyed.
