MAY HAVE TO SERVE THEIR
COUNTRY,

Some Of the steamb boat engineers are
beginning to be slightly worried during
the present crisis in the affairs of the
country. Up to about year ago they
held licenses for one year only and, at
their expiration, it was customary to re-
new them at the custom house. This was
more or less of bother, however, and, as
the result of their objections, Congress
passed an act extending the time of
license to five years. There was also a
provision in the act that reserved the
right to take every engineer holding a
marine license and press him into the
service of the navy department. il occa-
sion should demand. AS engineers have
been about the hardest class Of men to
obtain since the recruiting Offices were
opened it seems quite probable that, If
the war amounts to anything, they will
be among the first called into service. AS
most of them still have nearly four years
to work before their licenses run out, it
looks as though they were in for it if the
government sees fit to call them. 4

MAINE VESSELS AT SEA.
These Might Be Captured by Spanish
Cruisers.

American shipowners having vessels in
haste to have their ships returned to the
United States. Among the vessels now
in port there is the four masted schooner
r. w. Hopkins, Of Thomaston which is
discharging cargo of coal at Cieufuegos.
Captain Hichborn, her commander, has
been ordered to leave there immedia tely.
Her cargo is discharged, and he will re-
turn to the United States without cargo.
The schooner Henry j. Smith, another
four master, which took cargo of coal
from Philadelphia to Cienfuegos, left the

in ballast, having safely discharged her
cargo at the Cuban port.
e. J Carleton of Rockport, one of the
largest ship owners in the United States,
is stopping at Young's hotel on his way
home from New York where he has been
to look after his shipping interests at that
port. He told reporter Thursday that
aboutithe only way that men in his bust
ness could provide against privateering
was to insure against an attack of that
kind. He said that the only vessel owned
by him that he felt much concern about
at present was the ship s.. D. Carleton
built in Maine in 1890, which is now load
ing at Mobile for Port au Prince, Hayt1
and was chartered for a return freight
from there to New York. He had in
structed the captain to place war risk il
he could do SO at rate anywhere within
reason. BE says that most of these risk
are placed in London, as the rates are
lower than in New York.
Mr.. Carleton also has a vessel which
cleared from New York and is due in
Japan in about twenty five days. and he
is now figuring whether the Spanish wal
boats at the Philippines Islands will in.

the risk and not place an extra risk or
her. He has another vessel Mt New York
but he SAYS that the imminence of wal
has interfsred with the .chartering Of
vessels of all classes. He is of the opinion
that ship owners, who, he says, already
feel the effects of threatened war, will
feel it much moro disastrously it hostili

well sustained throughout. Miss LARA.
bee took the part of Mollie Wainwright
with much grace and ease. Mr. Fogg
scored hit in his impersonation Of
Harry Meredith, while the part of his

of the play and he did it in excellent
shape, his songs and dances being done
with much spirit Miss Allen as Fanny
Morrison and Miss Morse as the Irish
servant well filled their respective roles.
By no means the least enjoyable
