NEW YORK, March SANDY Hook, which
is now an island under the autocratic rule of
Colonel Ludlow Of the L, s. engineer corps,
is bristling with the bayoneted guards of the
L. 5. army under the strictest regulations to
arrest any person who reaches its shores
without an order from the chief officer in
command of the reservation. The orders
now are to take any person found on the
hook before a New Jersey justice at Sea
bright and have him fined and imprisoned
forthwith. The principal work being done
now is to hurry forward the emplacement of
the new three l0-inch guns. one of which is
nearly mounted. These guns stand nearer
the shore than any one of the Ii mOrtars, the
two l0-inch or the Pinch guns now in posi-
tion. 1t will require 80 days to put these
guns in position.

Orders received from General Wilson. chief
OF the engineering corps OF the army direct
that the officers and men be- drilled daily
IN torpedo practice aud the laving of sub
marine mines or stationary tOrpedoes. Fol-
lowing, as these orders did, the receipt of
the electric cable. ii at once became obvious
10 the officers that sharp work is soon ex-
pected. Several officers from each of the
western posts have been detailed to report
here to take advantage Ofthe drill. General
Wilson's purpose is to have corps of officers
competent to mine any given area of water in
the shortest possible time. The drills here
have already demonstrated that the sound be-
tween fort Schuyler and Willets point. dis
tance of a mile, can be mined in four hours.
The same kind of work is expected to be
performed as eNpeditiously at any point on
the Atlantic or gulf coasts. General Will
sons plans contemplate the mining Of the
Cuban coast at all points where Spanish ves-
seN would be likely to diSembark troops.
The western officers as soon as made pro-
llrlent in placing tOrpedOes and submarine
mines, will be detailed to Boston, Philadel-
phla, Norfolk, Savannah, Charlestown, Fer
nandna, Jacksonville, Key West and other
minor points. The eastern gatewayto Long
Island sound is being fortified with the utmost
energy. The main ship channel lies between
Fishers island and Little Gull island a broad
strait four miles across. Shallow water
exists midway between these points and
the ship channel. divided passing around
this bar. This fact brings the two chan
nels within easy range Of guns placed
on Fishers or Little Gull islands. Every
other approach to Long Island sound
Is unsafe for Il man-o-w and
could be effectualIy closed for gunboats
by few stone-laden hulks and torpedoes.
At this moment 400 men are working day
and night on the nearly completed batteries
ON Little Gull island. Within week several
thousand men will be throwing up earth
works on the western end Of Fishers island,
behind which complete battery OF dIsap
pearing guns Of lOug-range caliber will be
placed.

THE LONG AGO.

 Oh, wonderful stream is the River
 of Time.
 As it flows through the Realm Of Tears. With a faultless rhythm and(a musical And a broadening sweep and surge
 sublime. Ere it bends with the Ocean O. Years How the winters are drifting. like
 flakes of snow. And the summers like buds between. And the years in the sheaf, how they
 come and they go. On the rivers breast, with it's ebb and
 its flow.
 As they glide in the shadow and sheen. There's magical isle up the River of
 Time
 Where the softest of airs are playing; There's cloudless sky and a tropical cline, And a song as sweet as a vesper chime And the tunes with the roses are
 s,raying. The name of that isle is the long ago; An- we bury our treasures there; There are brows of beauty and bosoms
 Of snow; There are heaps of dust-oh, we loved
 them so.
 There are trinkets and tresses of
 hair. There's fragment of song that nobody
 sings.
 And pars of an infants prayer. There's lute unswept and harp
 without strings, There are broken vows and pieces Of
 rings, And the garments our loved used to Nwear. There are hands that we waved, as the
 fairy shore By the mirage is lifted in air. And sometimes we hear through the
 turbulent roar Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before, When the wind down the river is
 fair. On. remembered for aye, be that beau tiful isle. All the days Of our life until night; And when evening comes, with her beautiful smile And we're closing our eyes to slumber
 awhile,
 May that Greenwood of Soul be in
 sight!

GOING TO YORK.
State Health Officer Regards This as
 Dangerous Ground.

Dr. w. H. Sanders, health officer for the state of Alabama, came up from Montgom- cry last night, and left at 1130 for York and other points near Meridian, where he will spend day two examining the quarantine that is being maintained in that section of the state. As he has stated sev- eral times before, he regards the country around York as the most dangerous in the state, and he is consequently devoting all his energy in keeping up a rigid quarantine there.
 He says that if the fever can be kept out of Alabama for two or three weeks longer that all danger will have been past. Last year, even when the fever was in Mont gomery Mobile and other places in the state, the quarantine in the northern part of the state was removed on November 5, in the central portion on November IS, and for the entire state on November 20. There is a prospect of an early frost this year and this will be Alabama's salvation.

Of the Birmingham Traction Company $
 New Lines.

The date for the formal opening of the Traction companys North Birmingham line has been fixed for next Saturday, and after that date the inhabitants of that popular suburb of North Birmingham will have a quick and strictly up-to-date 0ectric line connecting them with the city The city of Birmingh ham will also have a fine line to one of the prettiest parks in this dis trict, that is, the one situated at the end of the line.
 Electricity will probably be turned into the wires on Thursday and several trial runs will be made over the line before the formal opening on Saturday. It has not been definitely decided yet, but the com- pany is trying to begin running the Gate City cars around the city loop on Thursday It has been explained several times before that as soon as the North Birmingham line was equipped with electricity that the Gate by way of Eighth avenue and Nineteenth street and out of Birmingham over the North Birmingham line by way of First avenue, Twenty-third street Slnd Eighth avenue again. By going around the loop, the necessity of reversing the trolley and practically turning the car around will be done away with The North Birmingham cars will also be run around the loop, only they will go in the opposite direction, leav- ing the city by way of Nineteenth street.
