y Number Said to BE in Bad Condi-
ton.
1t was learned yesterday that Il num-
Der of the auXiliary war vessels now ly-
ing in Hampton Roads will become the
objects of unfavorable reports by the
board of inspection which began its
work last Week. The condition of sew
eral of the best known ships of the
Mosquito fleet is said to be such as to
render them useless for either the pur-
pose or peace or war until extensive
and costly repairs have been made.
1t is stated that in more than one of
them the machinery has been found by
the inspecting board to be 50 badly
damaged that new engines and boilers
will have to be supplied before they will
be in proper condition for the particular
pursuits in which they We're formerly
engaged. Others, it is said have suS-
tanned serious injuries to their decks
and hulls, not being strong enough to
stand the strain caused by the dis
charge of the guns with which they are
equipped. In addition to all this the lit
tie warships were severely tried by the
rough usage incident to blockade duty.

The Dixie, for example. will doubtless
resume her peaceful journeys up and
down the Atlantic coast between New
York and New Orleans. 1t was learned
yesterday that the inspecting board
found her to be in every way as

mission of war. But when it is remem-

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO. Ind, Oct. 6.--The peace jubilee
in this city to-day brought out the larg-
est crowd seen here for twenty years. The
crowd was estimated at 5000 people. The
military pageant came in the forenoon and
the sham battle in the afternoon. Every
railroad had special trains, Frankfort and
Marion sending the largest delegations.
There were eighteen bands in the process
sion. including the National Soldiers Home
Band of Marion and the Indiana State Band,
of Frankfort There were five military or
CARNATIONS, headed by Companies and l.,
of the Observation-Disclosures fty-eighth Indi-
ana, and battery. Twenty civic uniformed
orders and 5000 schoolchildren participated
in the street pageant and there were floats,
footmen and carriages making the process
sion more than mile long. The Glover
Lear Railway carried the soldiers from other
places free of charge. In the sham battle
at the city park this afternoon nearly every
company in the observation-disclosures fifty
eIghtn and some from other regiments were
represented. Captain Allen, of Frankfort
commanded the American forces in the en-
gagement and Captain Jacobs, of this city,
led the Spanish army. The battle was a re-
production of the battle of Santiago and
the assault and capture of San Juan HILL

ments on a hill. The soldiers gave a realis-
TIC performance and it was thrilling sight
Three thousand rounds of blank cartridges

A hundred childish ills he worries through.
a thousand times his life hangs by thread;
He falls, when there is nothing else to do.
