The Trial Cruise Of the New Steel Guuboat Yorktown Proves Her to be a Model Graf
 --Sha is Speedy, Steady aud Answers Her
 Helm Like a Duck-The ofleors and
 Crew Delighted with Her.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-The United States steel gunboat Yorktown returned yesterday from her trial cruise down the Delaware bay and out into the ocean. Commodore Fitzhugh speaks generally in high praise of the craft. On "Wednesday a run was made straightway out to sea, and, in coming back, the Yorktown made run of four hours with a 40-knot breeze dead on, and behaved admirably. Cap tain Steele says she did not roll or pitch. and he never had a vessel that was more plumb or steadier. In another four hours run she made an average of 15.S5 knots per hour or about twenty miles, thus proving her to be a very fleet ocean craft, as well as a remarkably steady one. The engines of the Yorktown proved to be perfect maryels for steadiness and power. Each engine on regular test marked l57 revolutions @ minute, imply ing horse power far ahead of the con- tract requirements, but the exact sum of which can not be given for some days, or until all the indicating cards can be com pnted and differentiated. The ship was tried in every conceivable way in river, bay and ocean, and was particularly maneuvered by Cap tain Steele, under the direc- tion of Commodore Fitzhugh, as if en- gagged in battle. She answered every movement of the helm promptly and moved with most satisfactory celerity all the time, steady and solid, so that guns might be used with the very best ef- feet in the action. One of the marvels of these maneuvers was the starting of the Yorktown ahead at full speed and back ing her at full speed. This feat was ae- complished in one minute and ffty-seven seconds, an extraordinary result under any circumstances. While at sea the sails were tested, and it was found that ill this particular the ship was as trim and complete as ill any other.
 The officers and crew, from the Com- modore down to the stokers, are loud in their praise of the Yorktown, and they be- lieve that she will prove the pride of the new American navy, at least until the mammoth cruisers Baltimore, Philadel- phia and Newark shall come forth to bear the American flag.
 Commodore Fitzhugh promptly an- nounced the general result to the Secre- tary of the Navy. There seems to be no doubt that his report will be entirely favorable and that the gun-boat York town will be accepted and prepared at once to receive her command.

'This was sometime paradox" as Hamlet says. Since, however, the peo

Wherever malaria evolves its misty venom to poison the air, and decaying unwholesome vegetation inn pregnates the water, there, in the very stronghold of miasma, is the auxiliary potent to disarm the foe and assure eff. cient protection.
