cheering. Once well past the presiden-

executed a double quick to quarters.
Throughout the review the President
sat on platform in front of the
stand. and beneath n canopy of Amer
lean colors with the Stars and Stripes
futtering just back of him. With u
few exceptions, the great army OF vol
unteers made an imposing appearance
and the reviewing party were highly
pleased with the result. The Fourth
Missouri, however, and the Sixth Penn
sylvanla, to some extent, were un-
equipped.
The Missourians were totally with

affairs which provoked great cheering
as they marched past. After the men
disbanded some thousands of them
formed long lane, through which the
President and his party drove. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley and Vice PresI-
dent and Mrs. Hobart took long drive
about the camp under the escort of

PHOTOGRAPHY AIDS THE LAW.

Jurles No Longer Visit the Scenes of Crime
hut Depend Upon Pictures.
Photography has reduced the diff.
ficulties in law suits and trials to
minimum" remarked n member of the
bar to a Washington Star reporter.
in times past it was the universal
custom in murder trials to take the
jnries TO the scenes of the crime so
that they could get better under
standing of the testimony and the
facts in the case. Besides the time in.
vOlved. there was considerable cx-
pense in this. There We're. you know.
elaborate diagrams. drawings and
sketches constantly used in important
trials. All this is now done away by
the photograph. which is always ac.
curate. In making copies of exhibits
in civil causes. notes, deeds. wills and
the like, the blue print has done away
entirely with the services of the
draughtsmen who We're employed to
reproduce the same. l remember well
the celebrated trial OF General Dan
lei Sickles, then Il representative from
New York, for the murder of Phil
Barton Key. who was the United
States district attorney. The pictoral
exhibits in this trial almost filled one
club house in the front of which the
shooting occurred, now the site of the
Lafayette Square opera house, was,
of course, the principal picture. Then

Key and Mrs. Sickles took place. as
well as the signals which We're dis

AFRAID OF TORPEDO BOATS.
Admiral Sampson VIII Take No Chances
With Them


With Them
Admiral Sampson, before sailing in
pursuit of Cervera on the 23rd. gave
the following warning to the captain
of Il newspaper dispatch boat that pro-
posed TO accompany the fleet:
Il can give you no signals. and you
will display light at your peril. The
ships of the navy will show no lights;
neither will the searchlights be used.
You will have to do the best you can,
and If you make Il mistake it will
probably result in shell being drop
ped aboard even before you are hailed.
In these times we cannot investigate
first, but to insure the protection of
the ships must shoot first and learn
whom we hit afterward l advise you
TO stay away from the fleet unless you
are prepared to take serious chances.
During the daytime, of course, we
shall be pleased to show you any pos
siblc courtesy"
The naval officers are evidently more
afraid of small craft than large
vessel. The torpedo boat Is the terror
of them all. 1t has been demonstrated
that the searchlight is no protection,
and the command has been given to
fire upon anything that passes during
the night. Torpcdocs are as effective
as n rifle at 500 yards. and the GER
tanty of range is excellent. To avoid
these terrible destroyers the warships
will continually move about, some
times at high, sometimes mt slow
speed. in order to lessen the chances
Of being blown to atoms.

Volunteers Want Pie.

An Indignation meeting has been held
Mt Fort Mcpherson, where more than
1900 raw recruits for the regular army
are gathered.
One of the regulars of the Fifth artil-
lery, seeing money ahead. had his wife
make 5000 pies. These were sold to
the recruits at five cents apiece. When
Colonel Henry G. Cook OF the post saw
almost the entire force eating pie he
ordered the men to throw away the
pastry. alleging that 1t was the whole
sale cause Of dyspepsia. He then Is
sued a general order ,forbidding the pie
woman from selling her wares upon
the parade ground. This enraged the
recruits and they declared 1t to be tyr
amy. The colonel. they say, permits
beer to flow freely Mt the reaimen;al
canteen. and they think that as the reg
imental fund gets the benefit Of the
beer selling. there \ \ scheme to make
them contribqts to the support Of the
regular army. The dissatisfaction

No Moro Cavalry wanted.

Washington. May 29.-Ad5utant Gen
sral Corbin said to-day that 1t had been
definitely decided to-day to use about
$4,000 Of the volunteers to be raised
under the new call in filling out def
cient regiments already organized un-
der the old call. 1t would take about
that number, he thought, to I'LL each
company up to the maximum limit OF
1O6 men. The remaining 5000 would
be organized into regiments Of three
battalions each and distributed among
the states and territories IN exactly the
same proportion ~ under the nrst call

Key West Fla, May 27.-The blue
iaokets Of. Admiral Simpsons ships
will get their prize money. Judge
Locke, United States District Court.
to-day condemned twenty-one of the
twenty-nine Spanish merchantmen ly-
Ing in Key West harbor and ordered
the vessels cargoes to be advertised
for sale to the highest bidder by Unit
ed States Marshal Horr. The notices
must run thirty days before the auc-
tioneer takes command of the ships.
The "jackies" do not expect to see the
money before the Fourth OF July.
The twenty-one prizes condemned to-
day include the Argonauta, Ambrosio
and the Bolivar. The smallest steam
ers in the lot were the only ones put
in the list, while the battle over the
rich liners, the Panama, Catalina, Mi
guel Jover, Pedro, Guido and Buena
Ventura, is not finished.
The lawyers Of the defense nre still
hopeful. but the opinion prevails that
the contraband of war reservation in
the Presidents proclamation will bring
all under the hammer. The bark Car
los F.. Rosas and the schooner Pa
quete. the latest additions to the prize
string, will be tried tomorrow.
