government to become it's fiscal agent

been done. The designation of some

is regarded as absolutely essential to
avoid the actual transfer of large
amounts of cash by the government.

ALL SPANISH VESSELS
in United States ports which sailed af-
ter the outbreak of war are subject to
seizure as well as all Spanish merchant
men found on the high seas, save where
they left port for the United States be-
fore April q last. The Presidents
proclamation of war allowed such ships
lying in our ports or bound for them
thirty days in which to discharge cargo
and also insured them safe passage

Saturday night. This, it is expected,
will tend to free the State Department
from complications.
Under the energetic management of
Captains Bartlett, who was recalled from
the retired list into the active service
of the Navy Department for the pur-
pose, there has just been perfected a
most admirable and thorough system
of coast signalling for war purposes.
The Navy Department itself established
thirty stations on the coast manned by
naval militiamen. Then it called into
service 1,C60 light house employees and
LOCO life saving men, making a total
force of over 5000 men who patrol the
great shore line from Bar Harbor to
Galveston night and day in all ways,
watching for the approach of an enemy
or for signal from any passing United
States warship. 1t has been arranged
that all of these watchers can commu-
nicate in the course of a few minutes
with telegraph Or telephone line and
all center in the. Office of Captain Bart
lett in the Navy Department, who is
thus prepared to give the war board in
slant notice of any significant ship

1t is said at the Navy Department
that it will be at least five days before
the Monterey can be started on her long
journey from San Francisco for Manila,
the delay being on account of the pre-
parations that must be made for the
very exceptional service required of the
vessel.

Washington, D. c., May 23.-Naval
officials have calculated to their entire
satisfaction the possibility OF getting
the Monterey safely across the PACING
to Admiral Dewey's squadron at Manila
The principal difficulty in making
such a trip as this is the small coal
capicity of vessels of the Monterey
type. She carries normally 200 tons OF
coal in her bunkers which at her most
economical rate Of steaming would take
her about 800 miles less than the dis
lance from San Francisco to Honolulu.
In an emergency, such as now exists,
it is possible to store a good deal OF
coal on the main decks. Being placed in
the passage ways and open spaces OF the
superstructure of the vessel, the great
beam of the Monterey would permit 1870
tons of coal to be carried in addition to
that in the bunkers, without IN the
least endangering the stability of the
ship or risking the loss of the coal by
being washed overheard. At her
economical speed of 100 knots per day,
this coal would last her seventeen days
and carry her 1920 knots. Owing to
the carefully laid plans of the Navy
Department the Monterey nowhere on
her long cruise will be obliged to make
a run of more than 2, 100 knots without
an opportunity to coal. The ship will
take a southerly course after leaving
Honolulu, in company
WITH A STEAM COLLIER.
The South seas are full of islands as
soon as Hawaii has been left 1000 miles
behind, and in the sheltered harbors of
these it should be very easy for the
Monterey to lie alongside her collier and
coal through her superstructure. It
would not be surprising if one Of the
harbors chosen for such transfer was
in the Caroline Islands, another Spanish
possession in the South Seas, for by so
doing there could be no possible COM
plant of breach Of neutrality laws on
the part of any neutral nation. From
the Carolines to the Philippines is easy
and under the programme arranged,
no probability of failure in the attempt
to get the Monterey safely across the
Pacific is expected If the Monterey
proceeded steadily at her economical
speed she would reach the Philippines
in 311a days from San Francisco. She
will lose several days in coalng en-
route, but on the other hand she may
make up this difference by steaming
at greater speed if circumstances favor
the easy re-coaling of the ship.
The Spanish squadron at Cadiz, which
reports from Spain state is going to
the PHILIPPINES. is capable Of higher
speed than the Monterey, and may not
have much difficulty in obtaining the
necessary coal to make the trip. Even
though the distance be longer on the
eastward trip there are possibilities of
a most interesting race by the hostile
naval ships.
The naval orders issued this morning
announced the assignment to command
the Monterey of Captain Eugene Luetze
lately in command of the Alert.

Chickamauga National Park, Ga,
May 23.-General James f. Wade, until
recently in command OF the Fifth corps
at Tampa, reported here to-day to Gen.
eral Brooke, having been assigned by
the War Department to the command Of
the Third corps now being formed here.
The first division of the First army
corps was reviewed to-day by its COM
mander, Major General James H. Will
son. Although no particular, demon
stration was made, it was a spectacular
scene, made doubly interesting because
it would go into history as the first
great formal movement by large body
Of troops organized for the American
Spanish war 1t is moreover said to be
the first review of the kind had since
the civil war.
1t began early in the cool of the day,
before 9 o'clock. The three brigades
of the first division, nine regiments,
practically 5000 men, formed in a line
of battle, the right resting north of the
historic Kelley field. Thence it ran a
mile perhaps along the ridge, portion
of the command forming in the rear a
second line, as if for a reserve in an as
sault
After the usual formal inspection Of
the line, which took some time the di-
vision formed and moved in column Of
tours, changing direction twice until on
a line parallel with General Wilson,
who sat on a magnificent horse in front
of a group of staff officers. The lines
were formed with remarkable precision
and rapidity Then in a column Of
companies, that is, each company.
march one line behind the other, the
division advanced in splendid form.
1t was a grand sight to witness and
all the veterans in the camp enjoyed
the usual spectacle. Nothing, they
said, since the breaking out of the war
had SO strikingly emphasized the fact
that the hostilities had actually begun
as this spectacle. Each regiment in the
line had a position to maintain and ev-
cry company and individual was i'm
pressed with the necessity of doing the
best possible. The result was singu-
larly gratifying. The marching was, as
a rule, in excellent time, the alignments
accurate and the distances we'll main
tanned.
General Wilson expressed himself as
delighted and very proud of the fact
that the division when manoeuvred for
the first time should act so much liks
regulars and veterans.
With the morning sun glancing from
polished arms and traps and the silken
stars and stripes and state flags waving
in the hreezes that came from Mission
airy Ridge, the sight was indeed a glor-
ious one and inspired the most enthu-
siasm in both spectators and men in
line.
The regimental and brigade drills be-
gan to-day in the First army corps will
be prosecuted now with increasing ac-
tivity each day.

II may be that the impending pro-
duction OF the great political drama,
"The Curse OF Cold" marks the be-
ginning Of q politico theatrical era. 1t
may be that the political orator is
about to give place to the political
actor, and that, instead Of galaxies OF
spellbinders making the rounds of the
barbecuee and fairs, we are about
to have companies Of political actors
transforming and ~tie-walking about
the country,
And what a vast new field Of play
writing this idea opens up! OF course
every politician will want a play written
about his personality, in which he will
be the hero filing the centre OF the
stage all the time. Mr.. Dingley will
want a terrible tragedy in which no is
always rescuing workingmen and rails
ing wages. Mr.. Reed will probably
prefer O ~'screamipg farce'' in which
he shall get off the best jokes at the
expense of congressman playing minor
parts. Mr.. Mckinley and Hanna will
probably want a double-star play, like
the 1.-TWO Dromios." only serious.
And they will be sure to insist upon
good parts for their friends.
Then each boss will want a play in
which he is shown as a pure patriot.
In fact, the stage will be Inundated
with political t%hespians. If the box
office balance. sheets are satisfactory
campaign contributors will no longer
be needed. II not, they will cease to
be called campaign contributors and
will be called "apgels."
There is only one chance of this
dream of the drama failing to come
true. The people may refuse to 60 to
the theatre.
