London, Mar. 28.
Mr. W. C. Bridgeman, the First Lord of the Admiralty, in a speech at the annual dinner of the Institution of Naval Architects in London to-night, said that he very strongly resented on behalf of the Navy that 8 very unimportant incident in the course of discipline of the Fleet had been recklessly represented in the press as "a mutiny," "a revol™ and a refusal of officers to serve" without any attempt to discover whether there was any authority for the statements, He was quite ready to bear the blame because he had re-to give a report before he id received in writing the information necessary with regard to the affair in*which three gallant officers of the Fleet were concerned. He certainly ne cepted any blame, and hoped that it would be laid on his shoulders and not on the Navy, which certainly did not deserve it
