AMERICAN NAVAL INQUIRY.
ALLEGATION OF FORGERY. A. and N.Z. WASHINGTON. May 13. Mr. Josephut Daniels, Secretary to the Navy, alleged that a telegram on the subject of convoyu produced previously before the Naval Investigation Committee of the Senate, at Admiral Sims' instance, was a forgery. Mr. Daniels denied knowledge of the document, which instructed Admiral Sims that American vessels were safer when armed and sailing independently than when convoyed. Admiral Sims, during his evidence, declared that the receipt of this message made him ready to jump overboard.
