MOORISH CAVALIERS.
How They Practice the Fantasia to Sa-
lutte Their sultan.

How They Practice the Fantasia to Sa-
lutte Their sultan.
Morocco has many claims to distinc-
ton in the eyes Of the Sultan of that IA
nous province, but there is nothing of
which he is moro proud than of the
noble horsemanship of his subjects.
lie is himself splendid cavalier and
when he wishes to dazzle the eyes of an
European sovereign he sends him one
OF the famous steeds from his own
stable. These animals are priceless:
no European monarchs have any such
superb stock and it is the boast of the
Sultan that money can not buy them.
From time to time the Sultan jour
neys from tribe to tribe throughout the
limits of his empire, and at the bouu-
dairy line each tribe places delegation
of its finest horsemen to welcome him.
1t is on such occasions that the fno
flower of Moorish craftsmanship is dis
played, as of old it was shown on the
plains of Spain against the Cid Cam
peador
All along the Flower bordered" high
ways the cavaliers indulge in fantasies,
in which an infinite lot of powder is
consumed, and the horses show their
wonderful mettle.
A fantasia consists in series of cav
airy manGuvres which combine all the
surprising feats of horsomanship Of
which Comanche Indian is capable,
with the precision and quickness of the
best Europeans regiments.
A leader, CLAD in dazzling white and
armed with long lance, dashes ahead
mounted on a spirited Arab.
A little bohind him come two or three
hundred horsemen, each one in white,
and with flashing black eyes showing
beneath their white turbans.
Swiftly they ride through the long
thickets of asphodel and Iris until they
are a few hundred yards beyond the
Sultan and his escort. Then at word
of command they turn, and with the
speed of light they come rushing back,
discharging their muskets in the air and
yelling like demons to salute the Sui
tan as they pass.
This is the Moorish fantasia.-N. Y.

NOTES ABOUT NAVIES.
What Foreign Powers Are Doing In the
War-Ship Building Line.

War-Ship Building Line.
The shipbuilding programme OF tho
French navy has attracted unusual at
tention among American officers Of late
because Of the calling together recently
of the cabinet council to sanction the
suppression of the courc il of admiralty
and to replace it with a superior marine
council. Tho Minister of Marine, how
ever, has approved of the designs for
two OF the three proposed battle ships
the Lazare-Carnot and the Charles Mar
leland their construction will be be-
gun early next year The plans of the
third vessel, the Jauregulberry, are al
most ready, and it is expected, will be
accepted at once. The two ships first
mentioned are to be nearly alike. They
are each to DO $50 feet in length, IS feet
breath of beam. and have a displace
ment of about 1900 tons. They are to
have triple expansion engines Of about
12, 900 horse power, intended to give o
speed of II knots an hour with natural
draught. Their armament will consist
of two AZ tons, four 50 tons and eight 50
inch breech loading guns.
Tho new French ironclads and cruisers
are not only being incre ased in size but
many improvements are being added;
and the designers seem to be following
the example OF the English admiralty.
But, if tho criticisms of the English
naval officers are true, the English
naval contractors have not been careful
about making the ships habitable, and
they have also neglected to provide
light, ventilation and room to get
about the machinery, all of which are
indispensable. The armament of some
of the French vessels has, however,
been severely criticised. 1t has been
pointed out that there is general habit
Of over-gunning, which makes them
dangerous at sea.
The Russian cruiser Pamiat Azov. in
which tho czarewitch and the Grand
Duke George arc to be taken on cruise
to India, China and Japan, seems to
have excited the intense admiration Of
the admiralty and tho construction and
engineer officers of the British navy
while she was lying in Plymouth sound
but unfortunately for the English serv-
ice, they were not permitted an official
inspection of hor. She is said to have
every conceivable improvement, and is
fitted in the most admirable order. Her
system of internal communi cations by
telephones and telegraphs is described
as perfect, and so also are her arrange
mints for hosting boats. 1t is rare in
deed to find all the novelties in complete
working order anu thoroughly efficient.
