THE SIGNALLING INCIDENT.
Received July 10, 11.20 p.m. LONDON, July 10. Lord Beresford declines to communicate anything regarding the signalling incident except to the Ad miralty.
It is stated that during the 6per2> tions'of the Channel Fleet in the North Sea last week, Admiral Beresford signalled the cruisers Good Hope (14,100 tons) and Argyll (10,850 tons) to perform an evolution which, if obeyed, would have brought the vessels into collision. The Argyll obeyed the signal, but Rear Admiral Sir Percy Scbtt, aboard the Good Hope, signalled his doubts of the accuracy of the signal, and refrained from obeying it.
