THE LIFE ON A MAN-0F-WAR
Routine of Existence of Uncle sam's
Jackfes.

The routine, of the day on man-of-
war begins, in the summer .months, at
4:55 a. M, when the hands are turned
UP, and the hainmocks are dashed and
slowed in the MEETINGS. At 5:l5 break
fast is ready, and smoking on the upper
deck is allowed till $40. when it is
"Out pipes" and the hands turn to to
clean decks, ETC., till S:l5, when there is
a stand-easy for a quarter of an hour
At 1885 both watches fall in, and the
cooks clean the mess decks. and at 9:l5
all hands fall in for divisions, when the
men are paraded and inspected by their
officers, and then prayers are read. Soon
after $3.50 an evolution or drill takes
place by signal from the flagship, and
there is always the keenest competition
between the different ships as to which
shall be first in the drill. As each ship
completes the evolution ordered she
hoists pennant, and as no pennant may
be hauled down till all are up, it is easy
to see which ship is first and which is
last. At IL noon dinner is piped, and

hands are usually employed cleaning
guns or arms till 2, when the second evo-
luton of the day is usually signalled.
At 4;l0 supper is.ready, and smoking is
allowed till 440. At 1850 the hands fail
in for evening quarters, and the work VI
the day is generally over, the hands
being "piped down"-otherwise sent to
bed-at 9:45. In addition to the ordi-
nary routine each day has its special
duties. For instance, on Saturday the
crews are usually exercised at fire-quar-
tcrs in the morning, the rest of the day
being given up to cleaning, while on
Thursday the signal is expected to
make and mend Clothes" which is in
terpreted as the signal for half-holiday.
At sea the routine varies somewhat in
few details, breakfast being at $3.50 in
stead of 5:l5, and the hands being piped
down half an hour earlier.

GOVERNMENT SURVEYORS SAFE
All Alaska Expeditions Will Get
south Before Winter.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Commeu ing
on the dispatch from Seattle, published
week ago, to the effect thar only two Oh
the several government surveying parties
sent to Alaska last spring by the United
States would reach the coast of the ter
rtory in time to return home before the
winter storms should block the trail, the
fortunate parties being those of Spur and
McCombrie, DR.. Morsell of the geological
survey office says:
1.-THE five or six parties that were sent
to Alaska, those in charge of Messrs
Barnard and Peters are known to have
reached the states in safety a few days
ago and Mr.. Eldridge, who had charge
of the. expedition, and Mr.. Mulldrow are
confidently believed to be safely out of
the territory by this time, judging from
their positions when heard from in
August on their proposed route towards
st. Michael Mr.. Barber. President Nc
kinley's nephew, a member of the party,
has just communicated with the office re-
Questing permission to stop off at can
ton en- route east. There are two survey
biologists, Mr.. Schrader and Mr.. Menden-
hall, under detail from the war depart
ment expedition under Captain Abercrom-
bic. From these men there are no recent
advices but it is understood they will bs
out of the territory in good season. though
it is probable that Abercrombie is the
Captain McCrombie referred to in the dis
patch as the head of one of the two for
tunate parties.

MAY YET PUT IN A PROTEST
OBJECT TO TROOPS AT ITO ILo
The United States May Protest
Against spain Reinforcing the
Philippines With Men and Arms

New York, Oct. l0.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
The United States may submit dip
lomatic protest through France to the
Spanish government against its action
in sending an auxiliary cruiser loaded
with arms and ammunition to the Phil
ippines. In any event the matter is
under consideration and it is believed
has been called to the attention of the
American commissioners in Paris.
The cruiser in question is the Buenos
Ayres, belonging to the Spanish auxil'
larry navy, which, as Rear Admiral Dew
ey reported to the navy department sew
eral days ago, is due to arrive in Sing
apore October Is.
1t is appreciated by the authorities
that Spain has the same right in the
eyes of international law to send refill
forcements to the Philippines as this
government has, and any protest will be
of a diplomatic character and simply de
signed to make it plain that the contin
uance of the voyage OF the Buenos Ayres
is Objectionable.
On the other hand. member of the
cabinet tonight said all the Philippine
islands except Manila are i'll the nominal
possession of Spain, and that it is UNI
doubted that the Madrid government, il
it deems advisable to do so, has the right
to send troops to the islands to subdue
any instruction that may occur.
Another member who talked of the
matter with the president admitted that
Spain has the moral right to dispatch re
Inducements to the Philippines but as
the forces of our government are in con
troll, it is within its authority to prevent
such reinforcements reaching their des
tination, However, it is not expected
that the matter will go beyond protest
If it goes that far.
From the dispatch received from Char
man Day, the authorities are still of the
opinion that the work of the peace com
mission will be completed before con-
gress meets. Mr.. Day takes quite an
optimistic view of the situation. 1t is his
desire to limit the time for decision Of
the various points raised as much as pos
sible, in order that the organization may
reach an early conclusion.

What Chamberlain Says.
Paris, Oct. l0.-The Evenement todiy
publishes the substance of an interview
with Mr.. Chamberlain, the secretary oi
state for the British colonies, who is now
in America, in which he is quoted as say
ing he considers the United States. ow-
ing to the recent war, to be in the same
position as Great Britain in Egypt, add
ing that the United States has the same
imperative duty to keep the Philippines
Mr.. Chamberlain is said to have added
"The moment has arrived for the Unit
ed States to prepare for an extension Of
its territory, and in order to realize this
ideal she will not refuse Great Britain's
support. United, Great Britain, the
