CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 13.-The
successful running Of the blockade by
the Vesuvius Thursday night is today
commanding the admiration of the hun
dreds of Charlestonians who ran the
real blockade in war times thirty years
ago. Her trip confirmed their belief
that blockade running is still possible,
notwithstanding the developments Of
modern naval practice, the aid Of cleo
trio search lights, hig,h-speed ships. long
range guns and other equipment all
unknown during the last war.
To add to the discontinue of the
blockading fleet, the saucy little craft
actually succeeded in repeating her
feat last night. The blockaders were
more chagrined, but explained that the
run was successful this time owing to
the inability Of the search lights to
pierce the fog which lay thick over the
sea. The Vesuvius will probably again
play hide-and-seek with the squadron

Once More Eyaded

Is CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 13.-Not-
WIthstanding Admiral Bunces careful
~ arranged plans for the effectual
blockade Of Charleston harbor, the
dynamite cruiser VesuVius successfully
ran the gauntlet of the North Atlantic
squadron last night. The blockaders
were not aware of the feat Of the ocean
PAGER, until the prearranged signal, a
rocket. was fired from the bow OF the
Vesuvtus. Admiral Bunce was sur
prised and disappointed. He had
thought the thing impossible and was
loath to believe the report, it is said,
when it was conveyed to him.
How the blockade was run is priced
as a secret on board the Vesuvius. The
officers are all boasting of the feat and
are as pleased over it as the bEockaders
are chaG1ined. The passage through
the fleet was made as easily, safely and
eXpeditiouSly as the most experienced
blockade runner could have made The
trip Of the Vesuvius showed her officers
to be thorough naval tacticians. That
the VesuVius got the better of Admiral
Bunce's carefully laid and directed
plans. is no reflection upon their eff
ficiency. The Vesuvius' trip simply
showed that there are American com
nlanders who are sufficiently skilled in
the science of naval tactics to elude
any well organized Gordon of ships
stretched before an American port
The Vesuvius arrived off Charleston
yesterday from League Island navy
yard near Philadelphia. She remained
at a great distance outside until after
nightfall, when she extinguished her
lights and began manuevers to slip by
the fleet. The rain and fog lent their
kindly offices, and little before 9
o'clock she dropped her anchor The
Vesuvius is said to have taken the
regular ship channel. by the use Of
which she was forced to pass through
the blockading fleet. Strange to say,
she was not discovered by the search
lights. which played over the channel
continuously during the evening.
The dispatch boat Dolphin. which Is
said to have also given the fleet the
slip a few nights ago, is expected from
Jacksonville at any time. The Cush-
ing. Ericsson and torpedo boat No
6. are also on their wav to reinforce
the blockade runners. The pilots and
old blockade runners are greatly ex-
cited over the maneuvers Of the SQUAD
ron. They are all anxious to be given
the opportunity to take a runner out.

he began to reel. and sank to the floor
He remained in this con-
dition until after the arrival of ply
stefan.
According to Dr. A w Gray. Mr..
Mason's temporary collapse was due
to the nervous strain under which he
has been laboring, but the doctor hopes
that the results will not be serious.
The senator must. however. give I'D
all thought Of matters connected with
his Legislative office for the present.
Mr.. Mason has been planning a trip
