Spain BeGan-An Army of $500
Experts ON the Lookout for the
Enems's ships That Never Came.

Capt. John r. Bartlett, superintendent
of the United States Coast Signal Service.
and one of the most important naval
men during the war with Spain, has
just made his report to the Secretary or
the Navy. He WAS placed in charge on
May g.
On March Is the Secretary ordered
Capt. Goodrich president Of the naval
war college, TO report plan for
coast signal service. BY consultation
with the strategic board, plan was
adopted. dividing the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts into seven districts. Within
twenty-four hours after Capt Goodrich
had issued his orders to the commanding
officer Of the naval militia of the various
seaboard States, the men had begun ser
vice. Within week all the stations, ex-
cept those lying in the most out-of-the
way places, were fully established and
equipped.
On May 3, Capt. Bartlett took hold.
transferred the headquarters to room in
the Navy Building. The equipments fur
nished the stations consisted of inter
national code flags and books, wig-wag
flags, cones and drums. powerful teie-
scopes and binoculars, and for night use,
torches and an improved Ardois system
Of red lights and white lights. AT each
station quarters were built for the crew,
end a ninety-foot mast erected. In some
instances signal towers were built. Each
station was provided with a telephone or
telegraph outfit, or both.
The crew consisted Of one chief quar-
termaster three quartermasters of the
second class and one landsman. The
vided with Springfield rifles, with daily
and weekly routine of practice. A list
of the signal officers was furnished to all
the steamship companies.
The hfe-saving stations and the light
houses and weather bureau stations were
called to cooperate with the coast signal
stations so that the whole coast was
covered. Thus an aggregate of 1886 men
were on the lookout for the approach of
Spanish ships.
Capt. Bartlett reports that there We're
no casualties in the service and no seri-
Gus illness. A daily telegram was sent
from each station to let the headquarters
know that all was well. The coast sig
nal service was the first TO report the
able voyage from the Pacific Capt. Bart
lett concludes:
THE result of my experience leads me
to believe that the coast signal service
should be an integral part of a nava

the highest caliber of guns for the main
batteries of the big battleships II has

ing some radical changes in the cOnstruc-
tion Of heavy ordnance will begin al the
gun factory I'm the Washington navy
yard, which makes every gun above D.
inch caliber mounted on the American

1t is said the substitution of the l2-inch

not greater than :, 900 feet per second.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Indicates That Money Is Still FLOWING
Heavily to New York.

The Financier says: The statement OF
the associated banks for the week OIL in
nary 18th while it does not show the ehor-
nous increases of the previous weeks, m
dlcates that the money is stu f"WlHs
heavily to this center. The gain IN casn i1 1,.
the week was 6,337 100, OF Whch nearly
ST. 800 coo was specie. The latter represents
western receipts to large extent, 1olloW-
ing Australian rrmittanceS' o.. j. ne incit@S9 3
in deposits amounting to &Oll,40o tled
up over $20C0.000 of the cash received 50
that the surplus reserve is only $ij5l'-oo
doubt that the expansion of 500, 600 III
leans reflects Legitimate" mercantile arc
stock exchange transactions, instead Oh
epecial operations and technical manpu-
the Union Pacific sale. The loan increase
IS scattered through a larger list Of banks
than usual, and the totals are largely due
to gains made by the Natioal Union, the
Western National and the National Bank
OF the Republic. 1t IS worthy OF note that
the bank which has been most prominent
I'm fnancicring the Union Pacific deal re-
duces its loans 100000, following the re-
tirement OF overdue currency GS, held by
the treasury on it's account against depoS-
its. All the special depository banks paid
to the treasury 10 per cent OF their hold
ings last week; otherwise the gain in cash
would have been heavier. AS it is, the de
post items of the banks doing the largest
business with interior banks show the high
est pcrccntag" Of gains. me future, III
view of the continued piling up OF idle
money in New York, appears to favor
easier money. 1t should not be forgotten
however. that considerable of the surplus
cash in banks belong to the treasury, and is
subject to it's withdrawal. The commercial
demands are also heavier. as whereas the
loans of the banks during Janury, 1891, re-
manned stationary while the surplus reserve
increased $26,00o0o0, the loans in the same
period this year have expanded $lS.Wo,OOo
Wlle the excess cash shows a gain OF
so 600 O00. Thus, while the supply is in
excess Of demand. the latter is immeas-
urably more pronounced than at the begin
ming of last year. 1t is difficult to see,
