torpedo destroyer Msyflower, arrived here
late last night and anchored near the
flagship New York. 1t is considered
likely that the Swan is destined 70 be-
come Cap. Sampson's flagship.
The rumors Of the New York going
north and OF the Dolphin becoming the
flagship are untrue.
Additional precautions have been in
force to insure the safety of the big ships
since ths resolutions of Congress were
adopted. All deck lights on board the
New York, Iowa and Indiana, which lie
out of hey West harbor are now extin-
guishsd before Q p. m, when the battIs
ports are screwed and the formidable
warships can hardly be ssSn from each
others decks. except when an occasional
search light, flashing around, reveals
their DARK outlines. Besides this precau-
tion, :the nightly patrol has boon doubled.
Last evening. hoth the Cincinnati and
the Marblshsad, accompanisdI By two
torpedo boats, went out on picket duty.
Heretofore either Of the cruisers with her
torpedo eonsorts have been considered
sufficient guard. But Capt. Sampson
had no intention Of taking any chances.
With these increased precautions the
strain OF suspense becomes greater. and
all hope for speedy and definite action.

women to ask why members OF their
sex were showing SO much interest in
public work. In some cases the report
er was staggered on being asked IN
return: And why shouldn't they"

are more interested in public welfare
than, for instance. In any contractor.
When they see necessity for some stat
ed action. they demand that the thing
shall be done. without regard to whsth-
er any injury that a scheming politi-
clan may sustain. On this very point
Mrs. Schuyler van Rensselaer, said:
Il believe that women in their work
are more altruistic than men. I do
not think I know a single woman who
is particularly interested In leadership
or i'm fame. II is the work itself in
which they are interested. Perhaps
sometimes. when they have rubbed up
against men more. they viii be differ
ent. but just now their work springs
from comparatively altruistic no
tives."
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, also touched
another good point when she said that
women. as being largely our leisure
class. have exceptional opportunities
of useful work IL they qualify them
selves for Il. and at the same time do
great good { o themselves by putting
work in place OF idleness. Il know a
number of women" h said. who at
n time were depressed M sad. with
out knowing why. They had nothing
to do and were idle. Now they are at
work for the public good and are con
tented and cheerful. There is nothing
like being interested in work to drive
away blues"
Mrs. Charles Russell Lowell is en-
other Of the women who were inter
viewed. She touched on one point
which has been more or less in dis
pute when she said:
A far as organization Is concerned.
women are far more efficient "A meet
