THE MONITOR, puritan.
Expected to Reach Hampton Road
Tonight or Tomorrow.


Tonight or Tomorrow.
The big monitor Puritan is now on her
way to Hampton. Roads and should arrive
there some time this evening or tomorrow
n orning, if all goes web. A message was
received at the Navy Department this
morning from the Hatteras life-sating sta
ton stating that the keeper had been un-
able to deliver to the esmmander of the
Puritan the telegram which had been sent
to him by Admiral Ramsay yesterday in
response to his application for a convoy,
owing to the rough sea which prevented the
launching of shore boat. He added that
the Puritan had left Hatteras at o'clock
yesterday afternoon In convoy of the CO.
irmbia, SO beth vessels, are by this time
coubtless far north of the dangerous Hat
teras shoals. 1t is not an easy task to tow
one of the big monitors in a seaway, and
to prevent he tow from running under
water the sreed cannot much exceed six
knots an hour unless the monitor Is able to
assist with her own engines. and AS it is
23O miles from Hatteras to Hampton Roads
by sea the trip will not likely be completed
until tonight or tomorrow.

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
One of the Last Orders Issued b.
EX-Secretary Lamont.


One of the last orders issued by ex-Secre-
tary Lamont had sort of Pinafore tone
about it,. in respect to the character OF
official correspondence. 1t reads as follows:
'In the matter of official correspondence
between officers of the army and officials
of other branches of the public service, md
especially in matters involving questions of
Jurisdiction, conflict Of authority. or dispute,
officers of the army are reminded that their
correspondence should be courteous in tone
and free from any expression partaking of
a personal nature or calculated to give Of
fense. Whenever questions OF such charac-
ter shall arise and It is found that they
cannot be reconciled by an interchange of
courteous correspondence, the officer. of the
army, as the representative of the interests
of the War Department In the matter in
volved, will make a full presentation of the
case to the Secretary ofEWar, through the
proper military channels, In order that the
same may be properly considered"

belief that an agreement may tie reached
between the Greek ard Turkish govern
ments directly for the settlement of the
Cretan question without the intervention
of the powers. This belief. however, does
not prevail in diplomatic circles. where it
is said that the settlement can he arrived
at only through the powers. There is no
doubt that the decrease in excitement here
tends to present matters in brighter
hight, for popular clamor had a deal to
DO with the defiant position assumed by
the Greek government
But there is no cessation of military ac-
uVlty here or at Salonica. On both from
tiers troops have occupied strategic posi-
t1ons, and reinforcements are being pushed
forward night and day.
he armed peasants on boths sides are
the most dangerous factors on the from
tiers A conflict there may occur at any
moment and then it may be beyond hu-
man power to stem the tide of war, which
has been sullenly rising in this part of the
world for long time past
The firing upon the insurgents by the
foreign warships and the later conflicts
between the foreign marines and the in
surgents have had very bad effect among
the people here, irritating them to a great
degree against everything in the shane of
foreign Intervention in the affairs of
Greece.
The caimer minds are counseling pru-
dence, but the situation is almost as grave
as IT could be- and Greece is prepared to
make the greatest sacrifices if driven to
desperation.
