From The Philadelphia Times.
1t is probably not yet too late to Increase the
speed OF our battle-ships now In course Of con-
struction and the President and Secretary Long

battle-ships constructed to attain the highest
speed OF the bate-ships OF the world. Unless this
shall be done war vessels. however per-
fectly constructed. would rank only second
class as II Is now fully demonstrated that speed
is one of the most essential attributes OF war
shin In action Let US have no more slow battle

been so clearly demonstrated that II would be
objectionable for our Government to turn out any

The poor wounded in Cuba have had
hard time. Apparently the powers
thought that there we're not going to be
any wounded; and without doubt, few
ON Cuban soil dreamed there would be
so many. Nowhere we're hospital prep
arations complete enough, in tents, medi
cine, nurses, or surgeons, Gu the field,
or in the rear. At Siboney, according
to John Fox, Jr., in his letter to Har-
per's Weekly, the surgeons had not
time enough to get the names, or even
to count the number brought in. The
men not seriously wounded lay fol
hours awaiting their turn after the men
who were seriously injured, and yet few
complained, and they we're usually the
men slightly hurt. He tells of three
men brought in from San Juan. The

He had mere scratch on his leg. An.

GATHERlNGAT FORT MONROE
One of the Largest Fleets of War ships
Ever Assembled in an American Port
seventy Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-One of the
largest fleets of war ships ever assem-
bled in an American port will be
brought together within the next few
days at Fort Monroe. Already 81 war
ships are under orders to assemble
there. and the orders still to be issued
will raise the total to the neighbor-
hood Of TO- Naval officials say it is
difficult to realize the extent of such
marine aggregation in one harbor.
The orders began issuing last Mon
day when five ships were ordered to
Fort Monroe. On the 10th another
ship was added. On the 18th eight
more were sent, and on the 18th II
ships we re added. Fridays orders in.
clude 1S more ships. Before the orders
began issuing there were eight war
ships at Fort Monroe, SO that the total
up to Friday is 81.
The movement of these ships north-
ward is due to the close of hostilities.
and more particularly to the desire to
get the ships away from points of pos
sible fever infection. They will now
be put in thorough repair, and their
crews will be gradually changed from
naval militiamen to sailors of the reg.
ular navy.
The navy departmen has not yet de-
termined what ships will GO to Ha-
vana, San Juan and other points of
Cuba and Porto Rico. There is felt to
be no hurry about this until the au-
thority of the United States is fully
established throughout the islands.
In the meantime the matter of polio
ing the shore points is being consid-
cred and in due time a number of the
light draught auxiliary craft and some
of the single turreted monitors will be
used for this coast patrol.
AS many naval vessels will be CEN
tered about the West Indies from this
time forward, the navy department
will send the new floating dock, re-
Gently bought in Now York, down the
coast to Pensacola, Fla, where it will
be kept for docking the war ships At
that point also there are good naval
workshops to be used in con junction
with the floating dock. The dock is
now being coppered, and will be towed
to Pensacola as soon as the Septem ber
gales are over.

Mrs. John Lotus, mother of the
two children frst named, and two men
were the adults in danger The
woman made a heroic effort to save
her children, but to no purpose.
Near the mouth of the run the
dredge boat Pittsburgh was moored,
and when the men IN it saw the wreck.
age coming down the stream and the
people struggling for life, they stopped
all else and went to the rescue. The
men and the woman were carried out
into the Ohio river, but were saved by

tion of all who saw the catastrophe
by her efforts. She was almost over,
whelmed number of times, but each
time fought off the debris and came ID
the surface.
The great body of water did much
damage. A sand barg Is feet high al
the foot of the run was washed away.
Parties of men are searching for the
bodies of the children.
There was q heavy and oontin uou,
downpour of rain throughout western
Pennsylvania foam midnight until
