Brooklyn Ordered to Taku

THE United States cruiser “Brooklyn” has been ordered to proceed from Manila, Philippine Islands, to Taku, China. It is said that, as Rear-Admiral Remey, in command of the Asiatic squadron, is to go with the “Brooklyn,” “the effect of this transfer is to make Taku the headquarters of the Asiatic squadron.” The distance from Manila to Taku is two thousand miles, and typhoons are raging. It will take the “Brooklyn” one week to make the trip, and she is expected to arrive at Taku the same day that the “Oregon” reaches the port.
