WITH THE FLYING SQUADRON.


Inc m1nneapoIlS ana COlum bia on to
Sen on u Secret Errand.
Fort Monroe, Va, April 25-For
strategic purposes and for protection
Of information that might be of value
To- the enemy, Commodore Schley, of
tAe flying squadron, has established a
practical censorship over those in his
command relative to the divulging of
the reason for any movement made or
to be made by the squadron or indi-
vidual ships of the squadron. To more
fully carry out that plan of protec-
tion to government interests, only com
manding officers are made aware of
such movements and the responsible
ity is thus minlmized.
The conjectures as to the object for
which Commodore Schley ordered the
Minneapolis and Columbia to sea Sat-
urday night are many Protection of
the steamship Paris, assistance to the
battleship oregon, capture of Spanish
gunbOats and convoy for the transport
Panther now at Hampton Roads, are
some of them. The latter theory is
partially discredited because the Pan
ther with her human freight of nearly
ZOO officers and marines, lies in safety
with the remaining ships of the squad
ron off Fort Monroe, and evidently in
no hurry to move. AS a matter of fact
the Panther itself has some protection
being pretty well armed with eight
rapid fire guns, which could be used
effectively.
The departure of the Columbia and
Minneapolis created a great deal of ex-
element, but demonstrated in what
r
modore Schley's squadron are. From
the time the signal was made on the
flagship to the time the Minneapolis
went by her on her way to sea was
less than an hour. and the Columbia
followed in a few minutes.
The work of strengthening the forti-
ficatlons at Fort Monroe continued all
day yesterday with a large working
force, as did also the work of laying
mines in the harbor. Where the old
eight and ten inch converted rifles
used to stand will be mounted a bat
terry of modern rapid fire guns, which
are expected to command Hampton
Roads and Chesapeake bay and make 1t
impossible for a torpedo boat Of the
enemy to enter. Three guns, it is
thought will be in fighting condition
by the end of this week.
At Willoughby Spit, opposite Mon
roe, and which point controls the en-
trance to Norfolk Newport News and
the James and Potomac rivers, board
of naval officers have made an inspec-
tion, with a view of constructing a fort
at the point to cooperate with Fort
Monroe. 1t is expected that active
operations on the fort will begin this
week and be pushed to completion
without delay. The fort will be tenn
porary in structure but properly man
ned will prove a formidable defense
in case the enemy should attempt the
invasion of the harbor.

WHERE THE CROWDS ARE

be hand-sewn not machine-sewn. as hereto
fore. Just previous to this it had been de-
creed that Jack must button his flannel shirt
at the back of the neck instead of at the
side, and that the sleeves of the jumpers
should join the body of that garment at a
particular spot. There were further regula-
lions as to the position of medals and
badges, but the gem of the batch was a
regulation which decreed that in future sail
ors must lace their trousers from the top
downwards instead of from the bottom up
wards to the waist.
For the information of those not familiar
with the details of naval toggery, it may be
explained that Jack does not use suspenders.
Instead of them he uses a short lace at the
back Of the waist. Consequently, the Admir-
atty instructions in the matter are equiva-
lent to telling Jack that in future he must
lace his boots downward instead of in the
usual way. What can be the object of this
alteration it is difficult to divine, as the
jumper covers the lace in such a way that
no one can tell whether the bow is tied at
the bottom or the top.
For years past the men of the lower deck
have been endeavoring to get redressed
some of their grievances in relation to ra-
tons, pensions, ETC., but the spare time of
my lords seems to be so fully devoted to the
consideration of dress reforms of the kind
mentioned that they are unable to deal with
more important matters.

CRACKS AT LONG RANGE.
Rebel and Union Armies Had Some
Wonderful SharpshOOters.

New York Press.
In the war of secession the Southerners
somehow obtained possession of a large
number of Whtworth rifles with telescope
sights, such as in those days were used for
match shooting. In order to place these
Berdan instituted a kind of "Bisley rife
meeting" and gave the weapons as prizes.
The winners used these splendid firearms
with wonderful execution at long ranges
against the Northerners.
On one occasion Colonel X noticed a
Northerner perched in a tub upon the top of
a high pole. He was busy using his flag
signals.
Colonel x sent for an old scout who
was the best shot in his command and
asked:
do you think you can stop that man sig
naling?"
'I'lI try, colonel, but he's a long way
off," was the reply.
Having adjusted his telescope sight he
fired.
The officers who had gathered round saw
the splinters fly from the pole a yard be-
meath the tub.
Il guess I'll raise her a couple OF de-
grees," said the old fellow, adjusting the
sight. He again fired. and the signaler
threw up his arms and disappeared into his
tub.
Later in the day Colonel x took the
position and upon the man being taken
from the tube he was found TO be shot
through the center of the chest. The colonel
had the distance measured. and it proved
to be more than 1900 yards.
On another occasion this same scout
before him to the colonePs tent. He had
taken them single-handed and had accom-
plished the feat in the following manner:
st He was sitting on the bank Of a rive

among some rocks, waiting, as was his
wont, to get shot at an enemy, when he
saw a boatlOad of "Yanks" rowing UP
against q sluggish stream.
He lay down behind rock and shot the
steersman, which made his comrades seize
their rifles and look around to see where
the shot came FROM and while they were
wondering, down went another. In this
way he picked off several men. while those
In the boat had nothing but his smoke to
aim at.
Presently he shouted: Throw your arms
overheard and pull ashore here or you are
all dead men,"
Over went their rifles and they landed and
surrendered to the old man.
A remarkable circumstance in connection
with strange shooting feat Is related of a
time when the two armies were intrenched
within speaking distance of each other. This
caused useless loss OF life by the adver-
saries firing at each other directly hand
Or head was exposed. 1t was i, therefore,
agreed between the commanders that at
noon each day a truce should be held for
the space of half an hour or so that the
men on either side might have a meal in
comfort and free from the monotonous and
incessant vigilance caused by the firing.
One day Southerner was long over his
hot coffee and bread, which he took sitting
on the edge of the trench, a fact which was
noted by one of the Northerners, who said
to his neighbours:
See me make the Johnny Reb jump
He raised his rifle and aimed at the tin
coffee cup in the Southerners hand He
hit 1t and so startled the man that he fell
into the trench.
There was a great commotion at the spot
for minute or two and then a voice
hailed
Say, there, Yank, you've killed our
man"
"That be darned" came back the reply.
81 hain't shot at him even, / only knocked
the cup out of his paw"
That's all right" answered the Reb,
but the crust he had in his mouth slipped
down his throat and choked him!

The Ladrones.
Detroit Free Press.


Since the first American fleet containing
troops for the occupation of the Philippines
touched at the Ladrones or Marianne ISL
ands, the stars and stripes have foated
above them and an American military force
has held them as United States possessions
by right of conquest.
II we have recourse to our aliases we
shall find these obscure islets of the Pacific
situated north of the Carolines, stretched
along between the thirteenth and twenty
first parallels. north latitude and in long
ltude IA TO 146 degrees east Of Greenwich.
There are about twenty islands in the group.
having a total area of 413 miles, and n
population of about eleven thousand. only
five Of the islands being inhabited. The
three principal ones are Gugnan Rota and
Linian They were discovered by Magellan
in 1921. and were settled by the Jesuits in
1867. They are of volcanic origin. densely
wooded and fertile. with a salubrious cli-
mate.
Their products are tropical fruits, sugar.
rice, cotton tobacco and indigo. These ISL
ands were called the "Ladrones'' (Robbers)
1t is said. because of the thievish propen-
stiles of their inhabitants. Except as
coaling station, they would hardly be worth
keeping.
