MACHINE GUNS AND DYNAMITE.
Three carloads of war material were
dispatched from the Chesapeake &,
OHIO yard to Fort Monroe Sunday
night. There We're two car loads of
dynamite ana gun cot,on and one
carload of machine guns. The dyna-
mite and gun cotton win doubtless be
utilized for the submarine mines that
are now being laid in the channels
i.adlns to the Chesapeake Bay and
Hampton Roads. and the machine gums
are probably intended for use in some
nearby fertilization.
The hospital ship Solace left the
shipyard yesterday afternoon at S
o'clock for Norfolk. whittier she goes
to take on supplies before sailing for

THE SOLACE LEAVES
The United States hospital ship Sol
ace formerly the Cromwell Liner
Creole. left the shipyard at O'clock
and sailed out into Hampton Roads en-
route to Norfolk, where She will take
on supplies and stores.
The Solace is today the best fitted
hospital ship in the world. She ar
rived at the shipyard April and the
work Of converting her from the fine
passenger and freight steamer to a
floating hospital has consumed but
three weeks.
The ship could have left the ship
yard last Wednesday but for the fact
| that it was found necessary to make
other alterations, not counted upon at
| first.
The Solace now has accommodations
| for 300 injured ana will have a staff
sufficiently large in numbers to prop
erly provide for this number Of unfor-
Inmates. Surgeon Streets is at the
head Of the medical staff and has un-
der him competent corps of surgeons
trained nurses and attendants.
At Norfolk. the Solace will take OF
provisions. the best that can be OBJ
