Tho Asintlc station has also ut Inst re-
ceived due attention. Admiral BELKNAP
makes n reassuing report upon current
affairs in China, but probably our Asiatic
squadron will never again be allowed TO run
down TO its recent state. when 1t had only
tho Alliance, the little Palos, armed with how
tiers, and the old paddle-wheel Monocacy.
These three vessels are now supplemented
by the Charleston and the Alert. the latter
proceeding from her service In Alaskan
waters. Then the Lancaster Is making her
woy thither by way OF Cape Town and
Singapore. and the Marion by way Of Hon
olulu, which she has already left for Yoko-
hama. The Petrol will soon be on her way
from New York to Asia.
Thus we have eight vessels there or on
the way thither. Should the Charleston re-
turn to San Francisco. as she Is likely to do
on being relieved by the Lancaster, since
she Is considered as properly belonging to
our own Pacific station, there would still be
left at least fairly numerous force In CHI
neee and Japanese waters.
The two stations next to be considered
are the European and the South Atlantic.
Tho former has not o single ship. and has
had none for many months. In fact 1t has
lapsed from the list Of stations. The change
Is remarkable from tho days when 1t stood
foremost In attention. But 1t illustrates the
relatively growing importance OF the Pacific,
and also tho fact that with an ocean cable
and tho high speeds Of our modern cruisers.

made on this side. Doubtless II the Sultan
Of Morocco should have more trouble with
our Consuls or war should break out In
Europe, one or moro vessels might be de-
tached from tho North Atlantic squadron
for service on the other side Of the ocean.
but at present they seem to be about as
judiciously employed In homo waters as IN
the neighborhoOd OF Nice.
With the South Atlantic station the mat
ter Is different. There within year or two
affairs in Brazil and the Argentine Republic
have shown the Importance OF keeping
suitable force at hand. Yet now we can
rely only on the Essex. the Tallapoosa hav-
ing already been condemned for sale ut
public auction at Buenos Ayres. In few
days. however, the Yantic will go to the
South Atlantic, taking the Tallapoosas
place. 1t Is also. Of course. not difficult to
reinforce the South Atlantic station from
the South Pacific. Possibly either the New
ark or the Chicago will be sent to the South
Atlantic as flagship.
With these dispositions thore will still re-
main ut New York and New London. in the
squadrons Of GHEnARDI and WALKER. the
Philadelphia. the Concord. the Kcarsarge,

and the Vesuvius. even II the Atlanta should
not be retained in these waters. The Man
tonomoh Is also getting ready for commits
sion. while tho Enterprise is at Annapolis as
cadet practice vessel. and tho torpedo boat
Cushing is at Newport.
The reinforcement Of the foreign stations
will thus have left q reasonable force in

Henry B. Hammell OF tho Arm OF Hammell &

MARsELA. chief OF the Calispels. had ordered

The Chicago and The Newark had great
fun on Friday in knocking to pieces with their
big S-inch and B-inch shells an old lightship
which used to be anchored of Gardeners
Island. They towed her out to sea. and then
riddled her at 1000 and 1900 yards. No doubt
something was shown as to the satisfactory
working Of tho fuses: but the lightship might
perhaps havo been put to better use by trying
the pneumatic tubes OF the Vcsuylus on it.
The latter craft was present. Admiral WALKER
