AMERICAN WARSHIPS IN A BRITISH DOCK.
A Reuters telegram in the English papers of August 6th was as follows :—The United States battleship Indiana has started for Halifax, where she will go into dock for cleaning and painting. This is the first occasion on which a United States battleship has been sent to a foreign dock for lack of docking facilities at home. It is probable that the battleships Massachusetts and lowa will shortly follow the Indian* to
Halifax, as it is not expected that the Sock at New York, which is the only other one on the Atlantic coast of America capable of receiving them, will be repaired in less than a year.
