192. Your April 12, 2 p.m. The Georgia and Virginia will be relieved respectively by the Minnesota and Idaho, which sailed April 16 from Philadelphia. The Connecticut will sail about April 22 to relieve the Vermont. These changes should remove the danger of embarrassment pointed out by Mr. de la Barra.
