CORNING NOT HELD UP.


Another Local War Story Disposed OF.
The report that the steamer Erastus
Corning of the John Fl. Starin line was
held up for several hours and fired up
on and hit by one of the government
boats patroling the mine fields at the
entrance of New York harbor on Tues
day night is denied by the officers Of
the company. What little foudation
the story had in fact was that a patrol
boat, as is customary when boats are
approaching the mine fields, fired a
gun to give the ship notice Of the fact.
This was done in the case of the Corn
ing. Only a blank shot was fred and
the Corning needed the signal and
passed on as usual through the unob-
structed channel.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS n

AMAIhOh GiOIOdlNAIIi IlINo ~
MEET.
The following circular letter was is
sued yesterday by committee of anna
teur photographers:
New Haven, Conn, May 10, 1898,
To all Amateur Photographers of New
Haven:
A preliminary meeting of local anna
teur photographers was held on Thurs
day evening, May 5, in the rooms Of the
New Haven Press club, No. 1877 Orange
street, for the purpose of discussing Or
ganization and the ACCESSIBILITY of MAX
ing a permanent society.
The undersigned, a voluntary COM
mittee having the matter in charge,
carefully explained the situation TO
those present, and the resulting senti-
ment was practically unanimous IN ia
vor of the formation in this city OF a
Photographic society. A sufficient
number of signatures was obtained on
that evening to secure the success OF
the enterprise, but as those present rep
resented only a small percentage OF the
local amateurs it was thought best to
have another meeting, to which all
! camer1StS whose names could not pc Sc
cured should be invited in the effort to
make the movement thoroughly repre-
sentative. 1t should be easy in New
Haven to secure Photographic society
of one hundred members.
The second meeting will be held this
(Thursday) evening in the rooms OF the
New Haven Press club, No. 127 Orange
street, at s o'clock, and all local anna
tours are earnestly invited to attend.
The presence of ladies interested in
photography is especially requested.
After the business of the meeting is
concluded there will be an exhibition
of lantern slides, to which all are in
vited, Very truly yours

WASHINGTON. Aug. l3.-With peace
proclaimed, all of the energies OF the mill
tary and naval establishments today were
directed into pacific channels. The sudden
change from war to peace was manifest
at the war ana navy departments.
The orders given last night for the i'm
mediate cessation of hostilities brought all
military and naval movements to q halt,
and it now remains only 10 bring affair."
back to peace basis. In this, however.
the authorities were acting on the theory
that the protocol OF yesterday was but the
first step toward peace, and that not until
final and lasting peace was secured could
there be an entire return to a peace basis.
This was particularly true as to the navy
ed that a permanent peace undoubtedly
would be made. and yet instead of strip
ping our ships. redistributing them into
squadrons on a peace basis and returning
them to their old channels. the naval an
thc:ities acted on the principle that the
present armistice might end In a resump-
ton OF hostiliues. For that reason the
ordered north from West Indian waters are
to undergo a complete ovcrhauling with a
view OF putting them in the pink OF condi-
ton. For many months they have been in
tropical waters. their bottoms are foul ana
their engines and machinery need careful
overhauilng Meanwhile. the smaller war
ships in West Indian waters have been or
dered to safe harbors. as the West Indian
hurricane season is near at hand. while suf-
ficient ships for patrol are left along the
Cuban and Porto Rican coast. The big.
unwiedy monitors will remain at Porto
Rico and most OF the blockading fleet will
center at Key West under Commodore
Watson. The peace protocol will give
breathing spell and time for bringing ev-
cry ship back to the highest state OF per-
fection. The complete return to a peace
basis. the establishment OF peace squad
rons. etc. is a matter FOR the future.

corps of trained nurses to Manila ON the
steamer Arizona, which is being equip

The White Cross Society is a new or
ganization. similar in many respects to
the famous Red Cross. and incorporated
about six weeks ago in Oregon. 1t has
